I absolutely adore this show and despite its flaws, it was a solid eight seasons of TV. There is talks of a reboot at The CW with the Jane the Virgin writers as showrunners. So far, it's going to be a trio of friends--rather than sisters--in 1970s New England. Fan opinions have not been positive and the prospective reboot has been delayed for a year, presumably to rework things.
Thoughts?

The reboot will likely flop because the Power of 3 worked because of Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and later Paige's bond as sisters. Plus it should be set in the future and follow Piper's kids or Phoebe's daughters. This way the original cast could make appearances.

I think the reboot will probably flop as well. I loved the original show though. It started getting terrible in season 6 though, and I can barely stand to watch seasons 7 and 8. I love the first five seasons though. Especially the ones with Prue.

I think it's agreed that most people want some sort of continuation, in the style of Fuller House.

I'll watch it just to see what I'm dealing with here. But if the show is losing the P3 premise it might have a hard time gaining an audience.

Their plan was reportedly to have a trio of friends, not sisters. :X

I'm pretty much anti remake but if they have to do remakes how about they try waiting longer than 10 or so years before remaking long running series and very popular films which still stand up today?
I think by having 3 friends instead of sisters it loses what made the show special in the first place. Also pretty much reduces the possibility of having any of the original cast coming back to play their Charmed characters in guest roles.

I thought The Secret Circle was a really good witch show. It sucks it was canceled after one season. It even had its own premise and wasn't trying to be a Charmed copycat. The only thing that sounds interesting about the Charmed reboot is that it's supposed to be set in the 70's.

I'm weary about any potential remake. I hope if it's approved that it does alot better with its storylines and characters

They really dropped the ball on that one. The show took a lot of weird turns and got interesting just before it was cancelled. I hate cliffhangers.

Isn't Buffy considered a cult show? That went on for 7 seasons.

If it's to Re-Boot that's a truly bad idea, truly bad, it should be about the original cast. However,
To start it off, I am pretty sure that the original three except Prue should return. Return this way.
Now I'm probably the only one who thinks crossovers are a good thing. So in Season 7 (I hope it happens OUAT) in the middle of the season Rose McGowan Returns) Rumpelstilzchen looks mystified and calls her Corra, Rose looks perplexed, "Whos that?" Paige Replies. Rumple looks even more mystified.
With Rumple alerting Regina that her younger mother is in StoryBrooke, Regina is looking at Paige she's mystified too. However out pops Phoebe and Piper Rumple and they have a Charmed Vs OUAT Fight. Half way through the fight a Portal Opens Up and you see the Three Sisters falling outside their old house, with their Older Children "Where Have you been?"
"We were in StoryBrooke" Boom, and That Dearies Is How Magic Is Made, No, No Dear Keep Your Ball Balls.
Then after a couple of weeks Charmed is released.
The Power of Three Dearies should be Phoebe Piper and Paige.
