I am not a Charmed fan (I've never even seen the series, actually), but I know that there are a lot of Charmed fans here, so I thought this tidbit of news might be of interest to you:
From The Futon Critic (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/gofuton.cgi?action=home/):
"The WB took its first steps toward building a fall schedule yesterday as the network officially ordered 16 scripted pilots (10 comedy, six drama) and a handful of reality pilots for consideration on its fall schedule. WB Entertainment president Jordan Levin announced the network will likely stick with its eight drama, 12 comedy lineup the netlet has used since expanding to a six night schedule. With a large portion of its schedule already renewed (or at least has the option to return in place), the battle for a place on its fall schedule will undoubtedly grow more heated as we get closer to the network's upfront presentation in early May."
"...there's a rocky road ahead for both "Angel" and "Charmed." Consider that if these options come to pass - that being a new companion for "7th Heaven," moving "Gilmore" or "Smallville" to a different night with a new respective drama companion for each, and the four night/eight drama format is preserved - that leaves at least one of these series homeless come the fall..."
"...In "Charmed's" case the loss of Shannen Doherty may have been too big of a **** to overcome. As always we'll know more when we get closer to May."
