It has taken me nearly 18 months to acquire the definitive Box Set edition since it was originally released. And, it is really exciting that I snagged the Limited Edition including the Book of Shadows. What excited me most about the extra disc that included the unaired pilot, now available in pristeen color. (The murky excerpts previously available on YouTube were just that: murky!)
As someone who has toured the Charmed House (see my photobucket display), I can assure you that the ground floor scenes were all shot in the actual house. That stands to reason of course since this was a speculative pilot. There would not have been any budget for an extensive stage design. Shoot on location where one could.
Anyhow, it was terribly exciting to revisit and walk through the manor in the company of Piper, Phoebe and Prue as they traipsed from the foyer into the front room and then to the middle room where Prue is working on the chandelier and Phoebe later will be taken aback by the ouija board. The kitchen is absolutely the kitchen in the manor. And, in this clean video, the staircase is at is was.
