Changing Charmed

Watching Charmed the TV show when I was younger it seemed realistic. Now as a person who has lived in and near San Francisco I realize no three 20 year olds could afford a house that big. The lightning bolts, witch powers, and freezing time all seem realistic compared to the epic untruths inherent to the idea that three kids just over 18 could live alone in a huge house in downtown California. The girls in the show date 50 guys a month as no relatives, friends, or coworkers care at all. No one is stuck watching babies, or cleaning a house. Family fights last two seconds and blow over. By the end they own a music night club, and wear new clothes every episode as they barely show up to work. Forget the magic it is the frame tale that lacks any root at all in the real world. I found myself angry as I watched it, and couldn’t figure out why. Then I noticed I forgot this show was one big bull-bucket of lies told to young single women about ideal life.
