The Charmings(1987-1988) - "The Fairest Family Of Them All!"



This was an ABC sitcom that ran from early 1987 to February of 1988. 21 episodes. A short lived sitcom about Snow White and Prince Charming, who were magically transported to modern day suburbia, and had to learn to live to fit in with modern times. Along with them were their two boys, the wicked stepmother, and her magic mirror. Prince Charming was played by Christopher Rich, who gained fame on "Murphy Brown" and "Reba". One of their sons was played by Brandon Call, from "Step By Step" fame, and the magic mirror was played by veteran actor Paul Winfield.

It was on for only a year. It was on Fridays when it first started. Part of TGIF. Second year was moved and was up against Cosby. Needless to say, it was slaughtered. Lol.

I used to watch TGIF, but it doesn't sound familiar.

It was only a part of TGIF for a few months. 3-4 months or so. Something like that.

Ah, so we know him from "227".

Yeah, like two years ago, I was looking up theme songs, and there it was.

I'm not sure what my coherent thought is supposed to be , but thinking about the magic mirror guy in this show is flashing me back to Pee Wee's mirror/genie guy like something hardcore. Another 80's trend?

Paul was also the narrator for years for the A&E show "City Confidential". He died a few years ago.

Don't know about a "mirror" trend. Was this on Pee Wee's TV show?. I have never seen it.
