On Thursday, September 6, 2007, Gail Collins presented a column in the New York Times op ed page where she made reference to Charmed. Discussing the fate of Senator Larry Craig, the embattled Senator caught in an airport restroom sting when he displayed the standard code of behavior for the purpose of soliciting sex from strangers, Ms. Collins noted:
"This is not about entrapment or (heaven forbid) gay rights, or second chances. Craig is looking for a total do-over, one of those magic moments frequently seen on a cable television series, in which some unfortunate incident is erased from the memory of the entire world, and everything goes on exactly as it was before. The United States Senate as a 'Charmed' rerun."
Who would have thought it possible?

Wow that is interesting. Charmed does have a larger influence on American culture than most realize.

Yes, and its influence is growing. Time Warner Cable is running a commercial for its High Definition cable package. A gentleman/husband is seen staring at the TV. When pressed by his wife, he mentions that he is fascinated by Charmed. Their faces really glow/radiate in High Def! Charmed as the touchstone for our high definition lives!
