My wife is a big fan of this, so I've seen pretty much all of the episodes. Whatever the on-screen catfights were like, I'll bet they were nothing compared to the off-screen catfights when Shannon Doherty was one of the cast. After she had left, the other two were so scrupulously polite about her in interviews that you just had to be suspicious.
I don't know Shannon -- but she's incendiary, is she? It's about New England witches, I gather; perhaps it's on one of our cable channels, so I'll take a look at "Charmed" if I find it listed. (Since we record* almost everything we want to watch nowadays, we go by the on-screen "program guides" -- which means we need to know something about a show before bothering to record it.)
___________________________ * The "charm" of recording in the US is that we can fast-forward through commercials -- less of an issue for you Europeans. (A few channels don't have adverts -- but generally they're the bane of a viewer's existence! We're watching the Tour de France now, and the sports network that carries it really bombards one -- even if we zip through them.)
It's about three sisters who are also witches in modern day San Francisco. They protect the world from invasion by various demons from the Underworld. Putting it that way makes it sound rather heavy, but it's balanced by a more soap-opera side about how they manage to maintain romantic relationships, not to mention having a quite wacky sense of humour that stops it taking itself too seriously. I've not watched her in a lot of things, but Shannon Doherty apparently has a reputation for getting into arguments with her co-stars in whatever programme she's in.
Now that we have Sky+, we often start to record a programme, wait a few minutes, and then watch it. Because of the time-lag we are able to zoom through any adverts. The BBC is advert free, but we have 3 commercial terrestrial channels, as well as huge bundle of satellite channels that all carry adverts. It's becoming a problem for some channels because advertisers don't want to pay as much for advertising because they know that viewers are skipping their adverts!

It made me more interested in seeing her in a catfight sometime.
