History YMMV / Charmed

* ThirtySuePileup: Wyatt

* TheWesley: Billie from the final season. The often [[FanNickname nicknamed]] "Maggot Neck", "Bimbo", and "Ultimate Retard" was loathed for many reasons - creating useless subplots that were often just [[RecycledScript rehashes of previous storylines]], distracting focus from the titular Charmed ones, threatening the world with a spin-off, getting a character that had been around since season one (and Piper's husband) [[PutOnABus encased in a block of ice]] for over half the season due to budget cuts, and breaking canon by having the ability to [[RealityWarper alter reality]] with her mind making her and her lisping sister the Ultimate Power - but no reason garnered as much hatred as Kaley Cuoco's [[DullSurprise inability to express any semblance of humanity]] that resulted in her character being alienating and just downright unlikable. Being Brad Kern's pet means you can get away with anything.

* FetishFuel: Lots, but there is a very good chance that someone on this writing staff had a transformation fetish.

*** And then came ''[[TheRevival Charmed Comics]]''.

*** YourMileageMayVary. To this troper's mind his episodes were the most enjoyable in this whole season.

* TheWoobie: Cole, possibly also WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. This could be due in part to the actor being Julian [=McMahon=] who greatly [[EstrogenBrigadeBait appeals to the predominantly female audience]]. See also: UnintentionallySympathetic.

***** In fact, she doesn;t just not overcome it, it nearly ''kills'' her.

* DieForOurShip: Dan, Dan, ''Dan''

* TrueNeutral: The Angel of Death. The Cleaners also claim to be this.

* {{Narm}}[[{{Pun}} ed]]
** {{Narm Charm}}ed

* WallBanger: The later the season, the more wallbangers you're likely to find. In particular, ''Hyde School Reunion'' (Season 6, episode 16) has fans chanting "Orb the fucking gun, Paige" at the screen, [[RockyHorrorPictureShow ''Rocky Horror'']]-style.
** "Desperate Housewitches" sees the Source resurrected and... Paige asks how he was vanquished in the first place. Apparently, the writers forgot that she was there to say the spell with Piper and Phoebe.

* Fridge Brilliance: In 03x01, Cole tells the demonic judge, 'Free Willy' he'll "take it from here" before promptly vanquishing him. Later on, we find out he's here to destroy the Charmed Ones like Free Willy was.

* TearJerker: Obviously YourMileageMayVary, but the deaths of Andy, Piper (just before the ResetButton that killed off Prue instead), Cole (the first and maybe second times), and Christy can easily be this. In the last case she may have been a Villain Scrappy, while Billie herself was just TheScrappy, but it can't be denied that being forced to kill one's own sister after finally getting her back following years of demonic imprisonment would really suck. It was one of the few times Billie's actress did well in her role. Piper's reaction to Prue's death in ''Hell Hath No Fury'' definitely counts as well.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Sometimes paired with RetroactiveRecognition.
** [[LegacyOfKain Simon Templeman]] as the Angel of Death.
** The priest Prue fell for in one episode went on to play [[{{NCIS}} Tony DiNozzo.]]
** [[Series/{{Heroes}} Sylar]] plays a warlock who tries to kill the Charmed Ones' familiar in an episode. Ma Petrelli was Prue's boss.
** John Cho, the pioneer of the term "MILF" from {{American Pie}} appeared as a ghost in another episode.
** [[{{StarTrekTheNextGeneration}} Q]] and [[FreshPrinceOfBelAir Uncle Phil]] are elders.
** [[{{Supernatural}} Castiel]] discovered how to translate the Akashic Records.
** The season 3 episode in which Prue obtained empathic powers via a scheme of Cole's (and [[PowerIncontinence nearly went mad from the influx of emotion]]) also starred [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Mayor Wilkins]] as a TalkativeLoon who was also a good priest.
** And [[TheMummy Imhotep]] was a darklighter who tried to drive first [[{{Enchanted}} Giselle]], then Prue, suicidal.
** [[DeuceBigalow Antoine]] manages to get her client's house back from the sisters towards the end of the season 7.
** [[{{Alias}} Marshall]] infects people with sins.
** [[MyNameIsEarl Joy]] appeared in the season five premiere.
** [[{{Highlander}} Duncan McLeod]] once tried to use Paige's body to resurrect his lost love.
** [[CrossingJordan Dr. Nigel Townsend]] was a warlock who stole powers in ''Blinded by the Whitelighter''.
** Before we were disappointed by Billie, the original reaction was "Hey, it's [[EightSimpleRules Bridget]]!"
** ...and we already mentioned [[{{Angel}} Cordy]] in ActorAllusion seen above.
** [[{{MadMen}} Don Draper]] is Agent Brody's father in 7x11 ("Ordinary Witches").
** I can't believe that nobody noticed [[{{ANightmareOnElmStreet}} FREDDY FREAKIN' KRUEGER]] shrinking young women (or womyn) to six inches tall and turning then into figurines in "Size Matters", Season 4 Episode 5.
