2006:
Brad Kern about season 8 DVD extras
The plan at
this point is to try to get 90 minutes
of extras in for the eighth season release, which will be out
around Christmas.
That would include episode commentaries, hopefully bloopers, set
tours. It
should be a pretty extensive and elaborate extras package.
That's the hope and
plan right now, and I'm pushing very hard for the unaired pilot,
but that has
legal ramifications, and only the legal department can tell us
whether or not
that can happen. But I'm pushing for it because I think it's a
slam dunk. The
fans would love it. Source: Charmed

Season 8 PAL: 1 February 2007

USA:
Season 6 NTSC - 17 October 2006
Season 7 NTSC - February 2007
Season 8 NTSC - June 2007
(season 7 and 8 dates are calculated on the average 4 month break between
previous releases)
CBS works
some magic -
extras for season 8
It has been reported on TheCharmedOnes.com and TVShowsOnDVD.com
- there will be
extras on season 8.
While TCO claims to have achieved this with their petition,
TVShowsONDVD thinks
a bit more realistically though claiming some fame for
"well placed phone calls"
which helped in this matter.
CBS took over Paramount's TV titles earlier this year and has
released
featurettes and included commentaries for other shows (e.g.
CSI).
