10 More Underhyped Shows That Blew Everyone Away

10. Charmed

In 1998, following the recent success of female-led supernatural movies The Craft and Practical Magic, The WB decided to give the greenlight to Constance M. Burge's idea for a show about witches called House of Sisters.

Unfortunately, there were some issues, with producer Duke Vincent proclaiming no one would be interested in watching a series about a group of witches who live together, aren't evil, and look like normal people.

In the end, the show was renamed Charmed, the script was rewritten, and the witches became sisters rather than unrelated roommates. According to The WB, the "family values" aspect of the story would keep more people hooked than the supernatural side of things.

The studio then tossed the show out with little marketing, put off by the messy pilot and virtually unknown cast. To their surprise, though, people at home instantly gravitated toward it, and it quickly became The WB's biggest property, consistently breaking viewership records and running for an unprecedented eight seasons.
