Its early, but so far,Charmedis casting quite the spell.
Bottom line: A strong anchor for CWs fledgling Sunday lineup.
Critics were also decidedlymore mixedin their reaction toMurphythan they were to thoseothershows.
But the good news for the Eye is thatMurphyhas been a far more stable ratings performer.

The outlook: CBS ordered 13 episodes with no announced intention to do more this season.
Bottom line: A solid addition to CBSs Thursday comedy block.
Magnum P.I.
And like those other shows, its sort of working!
The outlook:CBS is pleased enough by the shows performance to date to have ordered a full season.
Bottom line: Its fine … for now.
