Every Original Charmed Reference In The Charmed Reboot! 

This video deserves more views. As a fan to the original charmed I was excited that they were making a reboot. After hearing the direction the show was taking I was a little turned off but decided to give it a shot anyway and I'm glad I did. It's not as bad as everyone makes it seem. The graphics are great, I like the story line, and each character is relatable in a way. It's no original charmed so to compare them is not fair. Try to watch the show as something inspired by the original show not something that supposed to be exactly like the original. Watching your video and seeing some of the things I missed was cool.

I think the show would do better if it wasn’t “Charmed” and didn’t have to live up to the original.. they could’ve used and different name and connected to the families or something

There was one line that Harry said in the pilot that made me smile. He said to Mel something along the lines of "Oh your power is to freeze time. Very common with control freaks. ". We all know who he was talking about🤷‍♂️

When Mel and Maggie are talking about the freaky Friday movies and Mel says the original is always better than the reboot😂😂😂

They should have did a spin-off with Chris and Wyatt 🤷🏽‍♀️

The reboot can't hold a candle to the original.

I need a new charmed movie or season but with the original cast 😩

Still don’t want it 😕 Tell then to keep those girls please 😕 I want Chris, and Wyatt, the twins, little Henry, Phoebe children etc 😢

You deserve an award for the you editied this video!! I love it 😍it's been so long since I've heard someone talk about charmed, I really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into making this video.

One you missed was when Maggie was imprisoned in the locker room shower of episode 12, was similar to when Prue was imprisoned inside of her tub because her fear was drowning. Other then that amazing job with this video

This was just…wow, this must’ve taken a good minute to research and record. Well done 👌👏👏👏👏👏

The more I see of the reboot the more I like it. It’s not supposed to be a revival of the show. It’s a new version. If it was the same characters with the same plot everyone would be rooting about how it’s just the same. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤯

Didn’t watch the reboot and I’m not planning to, but this video was great!!

also something i noticed, in the first season of the original where they meet the demon who puts holes in people’s heads, he says he is there to stop a boy in the future from stripping his demon side with science and medicine. I’m pretty sure he even calls him the “parker boy.” This lines up with the reboot as Parker’s mom tries to eliminate his demon side using the shots and injections.

When Macy stops Galvin's heart at 10:12 it is also similar to when paige was being influenced by the source and stopped a man's heart in season four, the episode charmed again part 2

It would’ve been cool to see the Phoebe Piper & Pru’s name in the book of previous charmed ones

Im worried about seeing Melinda in the pilot .cz honestly i dont want this gals to b tied to charmed i mean our ORIGINAL charmed

The biggest difference between the original and the "reboot" is ... The reboot is a spot in the face to the true fans. They literally used the name for fame. They could have taken all the "connections" out and made a few small changes and it would have been a good show. But no. They had to go and disrespect so its a huge thumbs down for me. Hate it.

"They are about THREE sisters who found out they were witches" 1 second later: show picture of FOUR sisters.

You seem like such a nice person!!! I loved watching the video not only cuz i love Charmed but also cuz youve got a very positive vibe, great job, have a great day!

Thanks for sharing! That was a lot of work you did there and I learned a few things since I've never read the comics! Awesome!

Anyone else notice how the Reboot packed the Entire Charmed 8 seasons into One season.

This was such a fun video. You picked up on some things I didn't even remember from the original show. Nice work.

Love it! Thanks so much for this video! Good to see others actively promoting the new Charmed as something awesome!

This is amazing! Didn't even notice a lot of these.

Wow I was looking for something like this! Thank you

You've really done your research, I'm impressed! I can't believe I forgot about the Nexus I have watched OG Charmed SO many times about 8 times through LOL but I am a fan of BOTH versions. Gonna check out your Roswell one too, I watched the original well after it aired but I really loved it, so I'm gonna see what YOU think of the reboot cos I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch it yet or no. Anyway another awesome review from you, thank you!

this is such a good and comprehensive video!! amazing job!!!

Just goes to show you Hollywood has ran out of ideas they have to use old references & plots from the original. You did an excellent job on this video

In the episode where the girls go up against Fiona, Harry tells them that Fiona can't "mirror" their powers like she did with the S'arcana. That made me think of Matthew Tate in the original series episode "The Witch is Back" where he can "copy" a witch's power once it's used on him.

Liked this video a lot!!! Please keep making more when the next season comes on 😊

Thank you for this awesome video. You founded stuff that slipped by me!!Love Charmed. Love Charmed reboot! Both awesome shows. Would LOVE to have a guest spot visit from the original three (or four)!!

Please make more Charmed videos, this is SOOO good

OMG i missed so much !! Now I wanna rewatch the original Charmed and the reboot so i can compare !! 🤩😍

Thanks for all the work you did for this video! XOXO

This was awesome!! Great video!!

Great job on the video. i have to admit I stopped watching the reboot after the second episode and I didn't get through the whole hour. I really miss the old show, and really wished that the reboot would have picked up where the old one left off. It would have been cool to Wyatt and Chris and siblings and cousins take over.

Im an original charmed fan. The book, Ouija board and special effects in the reboot are not great at all. Not a lot of effort has been put into props for the reboot which is sad. I was 6 eps and just couldn't watch anymore

Great work on this video!

Great job with this! There were so many little things I missed and others I recognized as well. One similarity that I noticed was in the episode where Charity was messing with Macy's memory and making her think she was going crazy, it kind of reminded me of the season 4 episode "The Fifth Halliwell" when Cole keeps messing with Paige to drive a wedge between her and her sisters.

Yanno, I haven't watched the reboot because to me, the Halliwells will always be the one and only Charmed ones. I've seen a few clips of the new show and it doesn't work for me. In its favour id say its great the show has non-white casting in the lead roles and has a strong feminist message behind each ep. But other than that I find it to be reductive. Now the original show wasn't flawless (so many plot holes, continuity errors and I hated the way the sisters were objectified in later seasons) but it knew itself and wasn't trying too hard to be amazing. The new sisters seem constantly clueless has to whats going on around them, everything's a surprise. maybe thats referring to what its like to be young and just figuring life out and all that but It doesn't work for me (and besides we have BTVS for amazing everything is a metaphor storytelling). I dunno. maybe I'm just old now and its good the reboot can find new audiences but its not for me. I did enjoy this video though, was great to see the similarities so thanks for all the work you've put into it.

thank you so much for making this video kristen

Oh and I absolutely love your videos and you and thank you so much

Such an amazing video!! Thank you so much!!!!!

All i kno is that im so ready for season 2. Your a true charmed fan.

I wish the original Charmed cast made a cameo or met the reboot cast and they worked together to defeat a demon

the same letter first names was similar between the 2 as well, with the original's sisters all having P names and the reboot's having M names :)

I love it sis, I didn't know that there were so many similarities

I really don't like the reboot but i adore the original series so much

I loved the original, watched every episode from day one. This charmed has also won my heart and I'll continue to watch as long as they go. This show though compared here is its own entity. You can love both, it's really ok lol

Something I thought about while watching this is how even when Macy re writes things the sisters always have a feeling that something isn't quite right is like how when The Cleaners came and took away Wyatt , The sisters but especially Piper had a weird feeling and eventually remembered.

Very nice video. You did a good with this.

Well done Kristen.Thanks for sharing.

I can think of a few more but overall you did a GREAT job with this video. Extra points for catching the connections to the cannon comic/novel. For all the people that didn’t watch the reboot out of loyalty for the original, I was the same way but please give the reboot a chance. The reboot was needed to give the gift of charmed to a new generation. yes how the CW did it was shady to the OG cast but that’s not the new girls’ fault. Give it a chance. You’ll be glad you did.

I have to say...that you did an excellent job as making the comparisons. I did notice a good amount of those. Especially the themes of many episodes. Originally, I wasn't planning to watch the reboot. After watching, I'm almost guaranteed that I won't watch the second season. I'm glad that there is an explanation of why every story line in Season One was resolved. I would like to give my reasons why I won't be watching the next. However, I don't think that this is the place for that. This video is about the references made in the Reboot that are from the original. Once again, you knew the original very well to discover all of those references.. I definitely commend the work you put into this video. I'm guessing that it took a lot of time...

Love this video!! I love the new Charmed and the old Charmed your video proved how awesome both of them are I wish more people would give the new one a chance because it is it’s own thing anyways I guess you can’t please everyone

I'll Always love the original. I started watching the new one and though its not bad, its also not that good. Also, The description of this new remake ticks me off a little. It's described as a more feminist version with the characters being younger. But that's just not true. Other then having a gay lead character, What else makes this new one more feminist? Prue, Piper, phoebe, and then Paige were kick ass successful women who never needed a man. Prue was a art/antique curator before she became a photographer, Piper was a manger and head chief at a successful restaurant, then became the owner of a night club and eventually she opens her own restaurant while basically single parenting a super powerful kid, and though she bounced around jobs in the beginning, phoebe became a advice columnists for a news paper, and Paige was a social worker. Also, the new Charmed ones are not younger. I don't know why it keeps saying they are. At the beginning of the first season of the Original, it says Phoebe just turned 21, Piper is about 24 or barely 25 and Prue is 27 and Paige is 2 years younger then phoebe. To me the new ones just act younger because the show is set like a tweeny drama like a lot of cw show these days, which makes them feel younger. To me the new sisters seem less independent sense Harry has to keep popping in and telling them how to act and what to do. The original sisters figured it out on there own. Leo was just a guide. Not a teacher. This White lighter acts more like Giles the Watcher from Buffy. Also what the hell is up with the way he talaports? He's Apparating like Harry Potter? Someone should tell this Harry he's not a wizard. lol. Sorry I had to. lol. Sorry for the long comment.:)

The reboot is so painful.....

When the demon in the pitch pipe required the sisters to work together it is like when the sisters in the original lost there powers when the anger demon tricked them into using there powers agents each other and they needed to work together. And in the original piper and Leo go to a magical couples therapist and they switch bodies.

I love the show so much that other than just re-watching it I got the triquetra tattooed on my back as my first tattoo and I hold it dear to my heart.

The original will always be the best in my opinion. They should have never disrespected it with this reboot. They could have made a continuation with the Charmed ones children.

Most of these are more parrallels than references but good video anyway :)

Great job on the connection to the original and renewed series

Wow! That was awesome. Thank you!

I am a charmed fan from way back, and nothing will ever be better than the og show but I didn't think the remake was as horrible as I expected it to be. Another thing I noticed that was along the same lines in both is the killing of the elders. In the episode(s) oh my goddess pt 1 and 2, the titans tried to wipe out all the elders and Allister/hunter/Fiona did the same in the remake.

What about the names. In the reboot, all the names begin with an ‘M’. In the original, they all begin with a ‘P’.

Currently started rewatching to original series. Still love it. Those girls always have me crying or laughing. I haven’t seen the reboot. I’m still on the fence but it’s interesting to see this video!

There's a few here I didn't know about! I think one of my favourites is "It's on Level P3, but it's a secured area!" lol

Honestly i dont like the new Charmed. The old one will forever be the best. Alot of the stuff is soooo much different from the original. And i know they dont have to be the same but its so different its really noticeable.

I don't know why, but I hope Macy does the eye squinting like Prue did in Season 1 of OG Charmed. I always got a laugh at the sound effect that would play when that happened. I also hope for Mel to throw her hands out the way Piper when she she froze time. Loved those references btw and nice Charmed research. Do you plan on reviewing more seasons or episode reviews of OG Charmed? Something that was missed in the video when you compare Macy and Paige first coming into their sister's doorstep claim they are their long lost sister you will notice both of them are wearing orange clothing. Prue's spirit also closed the door at the end of the season 7 finale.

It seems others didn't mention it, but when Mel first attemped to freeze time, she did it like Piper even if it didn't work.

I luv that u did this. So maybe now more OC fans will get on board. I admit I too was hesitant to watch. Im a rabbit origanal charmed fan, do I understand people being devoted to it. However Im a man who has to make decisions based on my own research & experience, so i went into Reboot with an open mind. I quickly found myself in luv once again💕 Not only seeing the sisterd im an updated environment but as a black guy seeing women of color take on the mantle of the charmed sisters brought me to another level of delight. I think they have the right balance of OC references & new skool mentality. I saw a comment below & a guy said that maybe they should have used another tittle. Ok well go with that! Just envision ur looking at an entirely new show, or like i told a friend pretend that theres a multiverse & this is a nother demensions version. However you do it, just do it! Cause u may n missing out on wht could potentially n ur old new favorite show.😜 And to the girl that said she would have liked to have seen a descendant version. Im with u, that would b so cool. I think there's room to explore the charmed universe. Im here for it all. So if these exsects are smart they should definitely b lookin into it😉

Love the extensive research that you did. I hate the reboot. My loyalty is tied to the OG charmed. #ForeverCharmed

I really like the original Charmed but the reboot is really good too I liked it

You did a great job with the research :) I watched a few episodes myself of the reboot and it wasn't as bad as I had assumed it would be, BUT it didn't capture my attention like the original series. I think the main difference is that the original Charmed felt a bit more "adult-oriented," a bit darker - whereas the reboot felt more teen-oriented, being a CW show. I think the original reached a larger audience as a result - older audiences could enjoy it while younger audiences wanted in on the more "adult series" too. The reboot is likely to only be enjoyed by the teen / pre-teen audience, in my opinion.

Love this! Are you doing another for season 2?

They should not have titled this “Charmed” because the cast aren’t appealing or pretty at all. No offense but com’ on the originals looked so good on tv.

1. I also feel that both 1st season finale has the changing "alternative through time n space " element. Like tempus reverse time to have the charmed ones dead. And Macy changing time n space to have the assurance no ones is leaving her alone. 2. Iterative names. Like p tradition for the Halliwell. And M tradition for the Veras. But it is not confirm. 3. Also felt that Maggie was the some kind peacemaker between Mel n Macy. As phoebe was with paige n piper. Or piper for prue n phoebe. 4. Dunno why. It may appear weird. I found the two blondes sisters ie Charity n Fiona as Billie n Christie. 5. Someone on youtube comment about Lucy mixes something in parker drink as Aunt Gail do to the charmed ones. 6. Many elders die( seriously) in an event of the charmed comics. Forgotten. Also kind in the season 5 finales Elders was hiding from the titans so elder was some kind hidden from the evil killer ( Hunter) in Ambush. Love the episode. 7. Jenny Gordon "annoying character" in season 2, is also referenced as a former student in Kappa Spirit. A lady who know that spirit named Jana gordonson I think. 8. Maggie imprisoned in water in You are dead to me that Necromancer Episode. Leo imprisoned in water in Sense n sense Ability( one of my favorite).But Maggie come out dry being captived by an innocent witch but Leo drenched being captived by an Evil Crone. 9. Macy be also be some kind of Phoebe for the greater possibility of turning Evil as Wyatt the great Child. You've mentioned that in your weekly review.. Think so. Macy being Half being as Paige. Being a Telekinetic as Prue. Having Evil sight a Psychic power as Prue Astral Projection. Sometimes can be seen as Phoebe Retrocognition n Clairvoyance but can't be premonition. Marisol Prophecy can be seen as Premonition. I think premonition is more instant n prophecy takes time to happen. Lol... Really Appreciate your Review Kristen. Thank you very much. Waiting season 2 of Charmed to see again your interesting review with a neutral yet analytical approach. Thanks.

*Great Job* from a fan of both shows 💜💜💣

At end of season 1 episode 1 when Macy closes the door with her power like Prue did

I watch first 3 episodes of reboot and it sux I can't stand it I prefer the original Charmed bring the original back please with the Charmed one kids continuing with the legacy

The Charmed reboot is a modern day ripoff of the original.

You did an AMAZING job!

Something the reboot ia missing is diving in the relationship of sisterhood and the power 3. From the pilot, the og charmed show us how powerful and how connected are the sisters to one another and in the the reboot we don't see that much. It seems that in the reboot they are powerful individually and they get more powerful when they're together but in the og they were powerful because they were together and I kind of want to see that.

I'm crossing my fingers Macy will one day use her powers by squinting her eyes like Prue in season one.

A lot of ppl are highly against the reboot and trust me I'm a HUGE Charmed fan from day one of the original series and never did I think I would actually like the reboot. Takes a while to get used to it with the first few episodes. But it picks up half way through the season and has a decent story plot despite the CGI and props not being too par and the slight changes in abilities and character arcs. I mean season one of the original series was a little questionable too but being as it was made in the 90s we give it abit of leeway. I can honestly say I actually enjoyed it and wouldn't oppose to a new season. I think u just have to give it a chance.

Is there is one thing I wished the reboot Charmed could’ve done was to bring back “The Power of three will set us free” chant. It would’ve tied in all the Charmed multi verse together.

Harry and Leo say in the series "that's tomorrows problem" when there in two situations (piper also says this)

I don’t like the new one tho

The original charmed is much better than the reboot.

@Kristen Maldonado, first, although I originally poo pooed the "Charmed" reboot, I can honestly say I AM enjoying it very much. I watch the show by visiting the CW Network's Website, where I watch "Nancy Drew," as well as "Batwoman," but I digress. I was pleasantly surprised to have discovered a few references between the original "Charmed" and the current reboot that I missed; then again, II was behind on the first season of the reboot, and only need to watch one or two episodes of the current second season to catch up. I look forward to watching your videos with all the recaps of the episodes I have already watched. Thank you for all you do.

I want to add: this video is very well put together. 👍 Although the reference to saving private Leo episode. Leo wasn’t stripped of powers. That was simply a flash back of when he was human and was unable to help his friends during the war. Medically not magically.

A lot of it is just called being unoriginal... For a show that pressed so hard to claim it will be a fresh and stand alone take, there's a lot of the same that's just executed poorly. I knew they didn't have what it took from the start when they changed Phoebe's power. Premonitions take planning; reading minds and Maggie's inconsistent empathy ability does not. On top of that, the writers dropped the biggest ball of them all - what it means to be Charmed. They focused more on showcasing powerful, quirky magic and family (supposedly). The Veras' goals of trying to figure out who killed their mom and saving Parker, highly overshadowed the fight for the greater good that made the Charmed ones Charmed. Yea, they had to figure out their wacky powers at the same time (Veras' training?... nonexistent) but they saved and protected innocents on a personal level which solidified the essence of why the Charmed Ones are who they are. The most the Veras do is stop big crowds of people from getting hurt, which, as a viewer, paints no real sense of the trouble and pain being worth it all. There has been no one to connect to except for the sisters and a few minor characters (who are usually much better actors). Billy & Christy thought the original sisters grew selfish after 8 years. They would have hated the Veras from the start. It's not personal gain per say, but it's major neglect of the biggest lesson and a strength the originals sisters gained. A strength I don't think the reboot writers are even capable of creating. The fact that the aspects of the show the writers mentioned they focused on more weren't very apparent in this season, makes it that much more worrisome for season 2.

Really dislike the reboot. But love og charmed

I like how Marcy uses a lot of science to help or improve spells and positions. It reminded me of piper tweaking positions in the kitchen to make them work better (and if I recall sometimes taste better lol) I will forever love the OG best but I’ll give the reboot points for some great ideas, like the whole Medusa angle omg that was great! It reminded me of Phoebe in the Godiva episode.

I remember in the mermaid episode, Piper had used a spell to remove her emotions and fears when she was pregnant with Wyatt. This caused her to not fear for her baby's safety whe she was being tortured by the sea witch and when she hit a rock she thought she killed her baby, but Wyatt healed himself in the womb. This reminded me of what Maggie did with that green ointment.

Did anyone else catch Jon Hamm at 9:45 ??? Didn't know he was in the original for a hot second!

It just dawned on me NOW that the last episode of the reboot when Macy went back in time to see Marisol is kind of is like a call back to S1,E22 finale of the original “Deja Vu All Over Again”. When Macy held Marisol in her arms and Mel was about to attack her Macy blasted both Mel and Maggie away. I’m not sure if she accidentally killed them or not but Maggie was blasted through a door and Mel was blasted against the wall to the stairs. It’s somewhat similar in a sense to the season one finale of the OG Charmed when Detective Rodriguez threw an energy ball at both Phoebe and Piper sending Piper through the window of one of the manor doors and Phoebe into the wall at the stairs. This was flipped in the reboot though lol.

Hey you forgot one thing In the Halloween episode a girl is wearing a psychic red cloths exactly the same style as Phebe had when she became a gene or went to work as a psychic in a hotel

Do you think that since with all the connections it adds up to a cross over or a time travel where they meet the og or with the warren connection this means there related so that ends up setting up where we see the og later on
