Charmed - The REAL story about Charmed DVDs!
Posted by David Lambert 10/22/2003
After two previous rumors about DVD releases of this show didn't pan out, we are pleased to bring you some REAL, concrete information - direct from the studio - about this title.
As you probably know, TVShowsOnDVD site owner Gord Lacey spent today at the TV DVD Conference in Los Angeles.
During the conference, Paramount had a recorded presentation about their TV-to-DVD properties, and Charmed was mentioned. There was no release timeframe given, but it IS headed to DVD eventually. However, a spokesman from Paramount pointed out to Gord that their home video rights for Charmed don't go into effect until 2005. So there is no possibility of DVD releases for this show prior to that time.
Music issues may still affect this release; we really don't know what the status of that situation is. Stay tuned, though, and we'll continue to keep a close eye on the DVD status of this series.

They are probably doing that for the most recent seasons of Charmed, but I doubt they anticipated the explosion of TV on DVD when the show started in the late 90s. They probably never figured that they would ever be releasing Charmed on DVD.

When the show premiered in '98, I don't think anyone thought that TV shows would sell on DVD.
It's been frustrating to see so many shows that have run for less time get quick releases, while this one languishes in the vaults. I know it's on daily, but so are a lot of shows that sell well on DVD. Hope this actually changes, sooner or later.
