My opinion...

I always thought the major problem and decline of Charmed happed after season 4 when Constance M. Burge left. She used to write episodes until she became a "consultant" in season 4. It was a show about women written by a woman. When a man tries to tell the same story, you see it became full of gimmick, over sexualization and relationship drama because thats what men think will sell. The true magic of Charmed was the sisterhood of women who happened to be witches not witches who happen to be sisters. They became focused portions of their orginal characters whereas Burge always made them multifaceted and full characters. Although I love the show and it still had impactful moments, you can clearly see the differences. It basically became a new show after season 4.

Unfortunately, I believe a good deal of the show's problems also occurred during Constance Burge's tenure - like "the Nexus", male characters (she wanted to get rid of both Andy Trudeau and Leo Wyatt), the male bashing that has been with the series since the beginning, her portrayal of warlocks, etc. I hate to say this, but I thought Burge had contributed just as much problems to the series as Brad Kern.

My real problem with "CHARMED" is that it had failed to develop beyond its black-and-white morality. I thought it would be able to during Season Three, but nothing really happened. In that regard, I blame both Burge and Kern.
