Sigh. OK, Charmed is better because clearly the better show since it was on for longer and had better writing and acting.

It's almost offensive to compare Buffy to such a show quality wise.

Buffy is the Beatles, Charmed is The Monkees.

They may be similar on the surface but, to me, they're on a completely different league:

Buffy: ground-breaking, cult classic, quirky, consistent characterisation - coming of age stories, deeper and darker themes, the early work of some brilliant writers (Joss Whedon primarily)

Charmed: conservative*, Spelling Television (i.e. coming from a soap-opera tradition), less inventive, more jumping-the-shark moments, relatively shallow.

*sorry, I know this needs a long explanation, but I don't have the time (it's the end of days after all)

Charmed was not shallow in the early seasons! There's also the fact that the lead actresses could rival SMG in the dramatic acting stakes. Just watch "Mortality bites" "A Paige From The Past" or this scene...(although it's sadder in the context of the episode, but still shows how good the acting and stories used to be).

Don't make me angry, Gaius. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

And now Buffy is getting a reboot too. It will probably be as bad as the Charmed reboot.

Buffy, definitely Buffy.

I love the candyman movie. It's very memorable and chilling. Definitely Buffy. I adore the leads on Charmed and I just got an autographed picture of Alyssa Milano so that the humble brag portion of this post. Charmed just doesn't compare maybe if they kept the same quality level of the Shannen seasons then it would be more difficult to choose.
