Trivia

In the pilot, toward the end of the show, Shannen Doherty picks up a newspaper from the sidewalk. The newspaper headline reads "Firemen Doubt Fire was Accidental", the same newspaper prop used in Mrs. Doubtfire, giving Robin Williams's character the idea for the name "Mrs. Doubtfire". See more »

The umbrella that Piper walks into the Manor carrying is different from the one she then hangs up. See more »

Lori Rom - Charmed Unaired Pilot - It was aired in my area !
11 May 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

That show was being told as not being aired.

Well I am sorry to burst your bubble just because you did not see it aired in your location does not mean it was not aired ! I saw it. I even had it on VHS for back up.

The show had Lori riding a bike down the street when She got her first premonition.

She saw those boys going to be hit by a car and then she ran into a car and tumbled to the street.

You did not see this with A.Milano version though.

Too bad the 86'd Lori Rom.

The whole show might have taken on a different air and maybe Lori might have gotten along with Shannen eventually...
