The Charmings

I remember the show being hilarious and trying to figure out which dwarf Luther was (out of the seven). Paul Winfield was fantastic as The Mirror. I real wish this was on Nick at Nite or I would buy this if it was released on DVD. And it was really a family show, there were laughs for adults and kids alike :) I remember liking the first Snow White and wasn't as thrilled with the second one. I had a major crush on Christopher Rich. People thought I was crazy because I always called him Prince Charming. That's when I found out that not many people watched The Charmings :( I noticed that the postings for this show are far and few in between, but if you can find this show, watch it, you'll be really happy with it.

"The Charmings" was a well written and well acted show. There were jokes on many levels. Both children and adults found them funny for different reasons. Many episodes satirized the faulty aspects of our society which we accept without question. Since the characters were people from a "happily ever after" reality, they considered the failings of our world challenges to be overcome. So the real life wisdom of classic stories was part of every episode.

It was rare to see such thought put into the writing of any show. It is even rarer now (2004) since TV producers want easily written "real life" shows which teach nothing about real life.

Sadly "The Charmings" was killed by ratings. It was far better than the stereotypical, repetitive rubbish that was scheduled against it.

I grew up watching The Charmings and every time a friend of my mentions Judy Parfit, I mention the series and I have very fond memories of this programme.

It was a pity that they changed the actress who played Snow White because I preferred the original actress who played Snow White. But once the change over had occurred I only then watched it for all the other characters and I never cared for Snow White after this.

If anybody who has any copies on tape and is will to let me have a copy I would be grateful and would be will to make some kind of arrangement, i.e. payment or swap.

I wish TVland or Nick at Nite would run a marathon because I adore this show. It was so funny. I do miss it. Tis the season to be dreaming of your prince charming which I adore the entire cast. I wonder where they all went probably into the enchanted forest...someday they will all return for a reunion.

Sadly this is one of those half-remembered shows from my childhood that I wish I could remember better. I remember loving this show, but the details are hazy...I know that it was on this show that I first saw a cd, though. This would a a great show for Nick at Night to air for Revenge of the 80's.
