1987 The Charmings TV Show ABC Intro
The Charmings is an American fantasy sitcom that follows Snow White and Prince Charming, awakened from a thousand-year spell, as they adjust from their familiar life in the enchanted forest to the modern ways of 20th century Los Angeles suburbs. The series originally aired from March 20, 1987, to February 11, 1988, on ABC.
Plot:
The premise of the series' plot was that fairy tale characters Snow White and Prince Charming were magically transported to a 20th-century suburb in Burbank, California. Each episode shows the Charmings trying to adapt to their new life while Lillian, the wicked stepmother, and her wise cracking Magic Mirror watch from upstairs.
Trivia:
After the first season, Caitlin O'Heaney (who portrayed Snow White), was replaced by Carol Huston.
After mild success as part of ABC's Friday night lineup, the series was moved to Thursday nights for its second season, in a head-to-head battle with NBC's A Different World, and later The Cosby Show. Due to low ratings, the series was canceled after twenty episodes.
The show was Nominated for 3 Emmy Awards between 1987 and 1988 winning one for Outstanding Lighting Direction (Electronic) for a Comedy Series.
1973 Oscar Nominee Paul Winfield played The Mirror. He also started on many 70's and 80's TV shows and held many guest appearances. He was also featured on The Magic School Bus and Touched by an Angel.
The series did not receive a DVD release and it has a few bootlet releases online but it is available on YouTube if you want to enjoy one of the 21 episodes.
