In 2006, the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] declared that, following the [[January 22]] broadcast of "[[Payback's a Witch]]", ''Charmed'' became the longest running hour-long series in television history featuring all female leads.<ref name=Milestone>Mitovich, Matt Webb, "[http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Interviews-Features/Article/default.aspx?posting=%7B4B985C1A-0535-4D51-AA75-4AD39168CFB3%7D ''Charmed'' Hits a (Final?) Milestone]", ''TV Guide'', January 20, 2006</ref><ref>"[http://thecharmedones.com/CharmedPressRelease.htm Spelling Television's "Charmed" is Longest Running Series in Television History Featuring Female Leads]", ''[[Spelling Television]]'' Press Release, January 11, 2006</ref><ref name=CharmedLives>Vary, Adam B., "[http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1178272,00.html 'Charmed' Lives]", ''Entertainment Weekly'', March 30, 2006</ref><ref name=JoySets>Holbrook, Damain, "[http://www.tvguide.com/dvd-news/joy-sets-brian-1000284.aspx The Joy of Sets: Brian Krause's ''Charmed'' Life]", ''TV Guide'', November 26, 2008</ref> The series surpassed ''[[Laverne & Shirley]]'' (as well as other shows, including ''[[Sex and the City]]'' and ''[[Designing Women]]'') in achieving the milestone. The accolade applies to hour-long television series with ''multiple'' female leads (''[[Murder She Wrote]]'' being the longest running with a singular female [[protagonist]]).<ref name=Milestone/> Executive producer and [[show runner]], [[Brad Kern]], stated that "it's a remarkable accomplishment...  It's something we're all immensely proud of".

In 2000, Cult TV Awards placed ''Charmed'' within its top 100 [[cult television|cult television series]] of the century at number forty-four.<ref>"[http://www.culttv.net/index.php?cm_id=13&cm_type=article Top 100 Cult TV Shows]", ''Cult TV Awards'', October, 2000</ref> The depiction of [[witchcraft]] in ''Charmed'' has also had a significant impact on [[popular culture]]. In 2008, the religious organisation ''[[Beliefnet]]'' accounted the Charmed Ones as the eighth most significant [[List of fictional witches|fictional witches]] in history, behind the [[Three Witches|Weird Sisters]] from [[William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare's]] ''[[Macbeth]]'' and the [[Bible|Biblical]] [[The Witch of Endor|Witch of Endor]]. ''Beliefnet'' praised the cultural image of ''Charmed'' for its female empowerment, mythology and how the sisters "managed to solve their cases" week-on-week.<ref>Kustanowitz, Esther, "[http://blog.beliefnet.com/idolchatter/2008/10/top-ten-witches-in-popular-cul.html Top 10 Wily, Wonderful, and Wicked Witches]", ''[[Beliefnet]]'', [[October 30]], [[2008]]</ref> The previous year, [[AOL Television]] ranked each Charmed One within its top fifteen of the greatest witches in television history — Paige twelfth, Prue ninth, Phoebe seventh and  Piper third.<ref>"[http://television.aol.com/photos/tv-witches Top Television Witches]", ''[[AOL]]'', [[2007]]</ref>

===Expanded universe===
Outside of the television series, the narrative has been officially expanded and elaborated on within the so-called "''Charmed'' [[Expanded Universe|universe]]", a term popularized by fans, [[Charmed academia|academics]],<ref>{{cite book|last1=Beeler|first1=Karin|last2=Beeler|first2=Stan|title=Investigating 'Charmed': The Magic Power of TV|date=2007|publisher=I.B. Tauris & Co|location=London and New York|page=160}}</ref> and writers of the series and its [[spin-offs]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Gallagher|first1=Diana G.|last2=Ruditis|first2=Paul|last3=Ungerleider|first3=Phyllis|title=The Book of Three: Volume 2|date=2006|publisher=Simon Spotlight Entertainment|location=New York|page=274}}</ref><ref name=ComicPrequel/> The creators of these works may or may not keep to established [[continuity]]. Similarly, writers for the television series were under no obligation to use information which had been established by the expanded universe, and sometimes contradicted such continuity.

====Literature====
{{main|List of Charmed books}}
''Charmed'' novels have been released since 1999 by publisher [[Simon Spotlight Entertainment]]. The first, Eliza Willard's "[[List of Charmed books#Novels featuring Prue, Piper & Phoebe|The Power of Three]]", was a [[novelization]] of the series premier episode "[[Something Wicca This Way Comes]]". All other novels, apart from "[[List of Charmed books#Novels featuring Piper, Phoebe & Paige|Charmed Again]]" which documents the events of the [[Charmed Again (Part 1)|two-part episode of the same name]], are original stories revolving around the four Charmed Ones and [[List of Charmed characters|their allies]]. 

The novels follow no strict continuity with the television series or each other, and are sometimes considered to be non-[[canon (fiction)|canon]] by fans. This is due to there being a period of roughly a year between the original idea for a novel and the finalised product, causing difficulties for [[authors]] who are unaware of how the television series will develop and change during the writing process.<ref name=Books/> Despite this, however, [[editors]] function as the medium between the author and the production company, specifically creator [[Constance M. Burge]]. Therefore, the television producers have final approval of everything in the novels<ref name=Books>Haag, Andrea V., "[http://www.thecharmedones.com/dianagallagher.htm Interview with Diana G. Gallagher]", ''CharmedOnes.com'' (fansite), [[February 2002]]</ref>, which could indicate that the literature conforms to the established canon of the series and the so-called "''Charmed'' universe".

Forty three novels have been written in the ''Charmed'' series thus far. Ten include Prue and the original line-up of Charmed Ones, whilst the remaining thirty three feature Piper, Phoebe and Paige. Two of the novels, "[[List of Charmed books#Other novels|Seasons of the Witch]]" and "[[List of Charmed books#Other novels|The Warren Witches]]", are [[anthology series|anthologies]] of [[short stories]]. Most focus on the Charmed Ones, however some of the stories in "The Warren Witches" place greater emphasis on the sisters' ancestors, the [[List of Charmed characters|Warren line of witches]], whilst the novel "[[List of Charmed books#Novels featuring Piper, Phoebe & Paige|Leo Rising]]" features [[Leo Wyatt]] and his sons [[Wyatt Halliwell|Wyatt]] and [[Chris Halliwell]] as [[protagonists]]. Writers of the series include [[Hugo Award]]-winner [[Diana G. Gallagher]], [[Paul Ruditis]], and [[Laura J. Burns]].

Along with the television series, ''Charmed'' literature is also subject to study as part of [[Charmed academia]].<ref>Beeler, Karin, "Investigating Charmed: The Magic Power of TV", p.81, (2008)</ref>

{{quote|If everything goes according to plan I'll be working on a "Charmed" comic book based on the hit TV series published by Zenescope Entertainment. To get the job I had to compete with others vying for the same gig, and our task was to do model sheets of the girls showing how we would draw them. The art would be approved by the studio.

The odd thing about this was that they supplied no photo reference, so I searched the internet high and low looking for the best possible pictures. Of the three girls, I thought [[Alyssa Milano]] would be the easiest to draw, but she turned out to be the hardest. She sort of changed her look more often than the other two, [[Rose McGowan]] and [[Holly Marie Combs]].|Dave Hoover, ''[[deviantART]]'', March 13, 2009|}}

The first [[press release]] from Zenecope Entertainment indicated that ''Charmed'', based on the "ultra-popular" franchise, would be a natural addition to the publisher's pre-existing "sultry and [[Feminism|strong female characters]]". [[Editor-in-Chief]], Ralph Tedesco, also announced that "the key to this series success is to strike a nice balance in creating a brand new, intriguing storyline for fans of the television show while also not alienating Zenescope and comic book readers who haven't really followed it before".<ref name=newsarama/>

===Impact on other media===
Some [[British television|British]] supernatural series have also been compared heavily to ''Charmed'', including ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]''<ref>"[http://www.daemonstv.com/2009/06/20/merlin-on-nbc-season-premiere-review/ MERLIN on NBC Season Premiere Review]", ''Deamon's TV''</ref> and ''[[Hex (TV series)|Hex]]''.<ref>Gaita, Paul, "[http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hex-Season-DVD-Christina-Cole/dp/B0002W1474 Hex - Season 1]", ''[[Amazon.com]]'', 2005</ref><ref>Staff, "[http://www.questia.com/library/encyclopedia/hex.jsp 'Hex,' 'Banshee' Redefine Women's Roles on Summer TV]", ''[[Daily Herald]]'', June 22, 2006</ref> The latter, described as "the U.K.'s edgier, oversexed response to ''Charmed''",<ref>Stransky, Tanner, "[http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20040726,00.html Hex: Season 1]", ''Entertainment Weekly'', June 01, 2007</ref> and as a "British take on" the series,<ref>''[http://www.metacritic.com/tv/shows/hex Hex]'' at [[Metacritic]]</ref> has been argued to have several "comparisons [and] a very similar appeal" by critics.<ref>Carr, Kevin, "[http://www.7mpictures.com/inside/reviews/hex1dvd_review.htm Hex: The Complete First Season]", ''7M Pictures''</ref> In her review of ''Hex'', Nancy Amazon of ''Kissing Fingertips'' suggests that:<ref>Amazon, Nancy, "[http://www.kissingfingertips.com/hex1.html Hex]", ''Kissing Fingertips'', 2004</ref>

I am getting *really* tired of your incessant, bizarre POV-pushing to try and eliminate ''any'' and all connections between Hellenism and Cyprus on this encyclopedia.  I won't stand for it, and neither will many others, so be aware that your campaign has *zero* chances of success.  As that little essay of yours at the top of the talkpage makes it all too clear, your views are waaaaaaaaaay out there, so please refrain from trying to modify this encyclopedia accordingly.  Ούτε Τούρκος τέτοιο πράμα.  Αμάν ποιά. [[User:Athenean|Athenean]] ([[User talk:Athenean|talk]]) 02:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:Do you know the difference between [[ethnicity]] and [[nationality]]?  "Cypriot" is a nationality, it is not an ethnicity.  There is no such thing as a Cypriot "ethnicity" or "ethnic Cypriots."  That's why if you look up [[Greeks]], Cypriots are included.  One ethnic group, two states.  How much simpler can it be?  At the turn of the century and up until 1974, there was overwhelming support for "enosis" among Greek Cypriots.  Why else would that be the case, unless Cypriots identified as "Greeks"?  You seem to think that because Cypriots have a separate ''state'', that it makes them a separate ethnic group.  It doesn't.  No anthropologists or ethnologists acknowledge the existence of a "Cypriot" ethnicity.  [[User:Athenean|Athenean]] ([[User talk:Athenean|talk]]) 19:27, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

====Documentaries====
Several televised [[documentaries]] on ''Charmed'' have been produced and aired. In April 2000, ''The Women of Charmed'' was broadcast on ''[[E!]]'', and in February 2003, ''Charmed: Behind the Magic'' was aired in the United Kingdom on [[Living TV]].

====Cast reunions====
Actors from the series have regularly been cast together in performances outside ''Charmed''. [[Shannen Doherty]] and [[Julian McMahon]] both appeared in the 2001 [[science fiction]] film ''[[Another Day (2001 film)|Another Day]]'', while [[Rose McGowan]] featured in a recurring role as Theodora "Teddy" Rowe in ''[[Nip/Tuck]]'''s [[Nip/Tuck (season 6)|sixth season]] (2009) in which McMahon portrays the lead, [[Christian Troy]]. In 2014, [[Wes Ramsey]] was cast in a guest role in ''[[Pretty Little Liars (TV series)|Pretty Little Liars]]'' in which [[Holly Marie Combs]] was a long-term cast member.

In 2008, various press and social media outlets claimed that the politician and [[United States presidential election of 2008|2008 Republican candidate]] for [[Vice President of the United States]], [[Sarah Palin]], named one of her daughters, Piper, after the ''Charmed'' character of the same name.<ref name=Palin>{{cite news|last1=Goldberg|first1=Jonah|title=Sarah Palin Witch-Mother?|accessdate=13 April 2015|work=[[National Review]]|date=30 August 2008}}</ref> Palin has neither confirmed nor denied the veracity of the claim, although some journalists have suggested it to be untrue.<ref name=Palin/>

The [[science fiction]] television drama ''[[Journeyman (TV series)|Journeyman]]'' (2007) was filmed on the same location as ''Charmed'', [[Carroll Avenue]], [[Los Angeles]] and was also set in [[San Francisco]]. Like ''Charmed'', it featured the theme of supernatural [[time travel]].

===Notes===
<div>
{{Note|1|Note 1}} One online ''[[Buzzfeed]]'' [http://www.buzzfeed.com/jarettwieselman/7-reasons-charmed-fans-should-watch-witches-of-east-end post] has suggested that this accolade has since been surpassed by ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''. However, this claim has not appeared in any other mainstream publication and it has not been discussed by cast or crew of either series. While several of the [[List of Desperate Housewives cast members|main cast members]] of ''Desperate Housewives'' are female, two male actors, [[Ricardo Antonio Chavira]] and [[James Denton]], have appeared in every episode of the series. In the [[title sequence]], the mixed-gender cast is credited together; in the first season, the series is billed as 'Starring [[Terri Hatcher]]', [''et al''], [[Steven Culp]], Ricardo Antonio Chavira, [...] <small>and</small> James Denton'. By contrast, only female cast members, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano, have appeared in every episode of ''Charmed'' and have been credited as main cast members in every series. The introductory credits bill the series as 'Starring Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, <sup>and</sup> Alyssa Milano' (for seasons 1-3) or as 'Starring Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, <sup>and</sup> Holly Marie Combs <small>as "Piper"</small>' (seasons 4-8), followed by supporting and guest actors. While several published [[monographs]] — including the ''Handbook to Life in America'' by Rodney P. Carlisle ([[Rutgers University]]); the ''Encyclopedia of Women in Today's World''; and ''Investigating 'Charmed': The Magic Power of TV'' — have analysed ''Charmed'' as 'the longest-running show in history featuring female leads', no reference to this accolade in relation to ''Desperate Housewives'' has ever appeared in academic print. [[Aaron Spelling]], [[Brad Kern]], and cast members, Milano, McGowan, and Combs, have all publicly recognized and discussed the accolade. Other online sources, including an October 2013 article in ''Inquisitr'', maintain the record for ''Charmed'' still holds.</div>

'''''Mermaid''''' was a proposed American television series concept developed by [[Brad Kern]] as a [[spin-off (media)|spin-off]] of ''[[Charmed]]''.<ref name=Pilots>{{cite book|last1=Terrace|first1=Vincent|title=Encyclopedia of Television Pilots, 1937-2012|date=2013|publisher=McFarland|location=Jefferson, North Carolina|page=188}}</ref> Although a pilot for [[The WB Television Network]] was produced in 2005 for the [[2005 in American television|2005-06 television season]], the show was not picked when The WB and [[UPN]] merged to form a new television network, [[The CW]]. Set in the [[expanded universe|fictional]] "''Charmed'' universe" and based on events established in the [[Charmed (season 5)|fifth season double-episode premiere]], the unaired [[Television pilot|pilot]] focused on a [[mermaid]], Nikki (portrayed by [[Nathalie Kelley]]), attempting to lead a normal life in modern-day [[Miami]], [[Florida]]. Two actors in the pilot, [[Brandon Quinn]] and [[Beatrice Rosen]], went on to star in recurring roles in the [[Charmed (season 8)|final season]] of ''Charmed''.

===Plot===
The series was intended to focus on a mermaid, Nikki ([[Nathalie Kelley]]), who is rescued by a young man when she washes ashore in Miami. Her savior, Matt Johnson ([[Geoff Stults]]), is a lawyer living with a roommate ([[Brandon Quinn]]) and engaged to the daughter of his boss. Initially, he is in disbelief of Nikki's identity, until it is proven true. According to the series mythology, mermaids are a [[Cryptid|race of creatures]] whose [[evolution]] took place underwater. The mermaids originate from a sunken city and have supernatural abilities, including [[superhuman strength]] and agility, as well as being able to [[night vision|see in the dark]] and [[empathy|read emotions]]. However, another race of creatures who also began their existence underwater, but have since adapted to dry land, include Eric Luger ([[Roger Daltrey]]) who is hunting Nikki. Nikki, meanwhile, attempts to fulfill a normal life by working as a waitress at a local restaurant while living with Matt and his roommate. She begins assisting Matt in his attempts to help people; as the villainous Luger assesses, mermaids are drawn to protecting the innocent, it is 'in their blood'.<ref name=Pilots/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://scifi411.com/upcomingtv.html#mermaid |title=Upcoming TV Shows |publisher=Scifi 411 |date= |accessdate=2013-10-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=TV.com |url=http://www.tv.com/mermaid/show/33607/summary.html |title=Mermaid |publisher=TV.com |date= |accessdate=2013-10-26}}</ref>

===Production===
Following the success of the fifth season premiere, "[[List of Charmed episodes|A Witch's Tail]]", the theme of mermaids was recognized to have potential for a spin-off series,<ref>Gallagher, Diana G., Ruditis, Paul, and Ungerleider, Phyllis, "Closing the Door on ''Charmed'' with Executive Producer Brad Kern", ''The Book of Three, Volume II'', Simon & Schuster: 2006</ref><ref name=Pilots/> even though the episode was not initially intended to act as a [[Backdoor pilots|backdoor pilot]] for another television series. In the episode, a mermaid, Miley ([[Jaime Pressly]]), enlists the help of the protagonists, the [[Power of Three|Charmed Ones]], to protect her from the Sea Hag and the demon Necron. In early 2005, the [[executive producer]]s of ''Charmed'', [[Brad Kern]], [[Aaron Spelling]] and E. Duke Vincent, developed a one-hour pilot episode for The WB, entitled ''Mermaid'', featuring a new set of characters. It was written by Kern and filmed in Miami during the [[Charmed (season 7)|seventh season]] of ''Charmed'', at the same time as the season finale, "[[Something Wicca This Way Goes?]]".<ref>[http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=1&id=30755 ]{{dead link|date=October 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Michael Schneider |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117917486.html?categoryid=1300&cs=1 |title=Lemons & mermaids |publisher=Variety |date=2005-02-06 |accessdate=2013-10-26}}</ref> 

During the casting process, Kern 'looked in London and New York and New Zealand, Hollywood, Florida, Melbourne and Sydney' and, after interviewing around 300 candidates, discovered 'a fresh new face' in Australian actress [[Nathalie Kelley]] who was cast in the lead role as Nikki. [[Geoff Stults]] was then cast as Matt, and [[Roger Daltrey]], lead singer of [[The Who]], as the [[antagonist]], Eric Luger.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=6851 |title=Breaking News - Development Update: March 15 |publisher=TheFutonCritic.com |date= |accessdate=2013-10-26}}</ref> [[Brandon Quinn]] portrayed Matt's 'goofy best friend' in the pilot; after ''Mermaid'', he went on to play [[Homeland Security]] Agent Murphy in the [[Charmed (season 8)|eighth season]] of ''Charmed''.<ref>[http://www.livingtv.co.uk/shows/charmed/features.php ]{{dead link|date=October 2013}}</ref> Speaking of his roles in both series, Quinn stated that:

{{quote|[In ''Mermaid''] I was the party man&nbsp;... in the pilot, I had no job; I was a permanent [[bachelor]]. And when Brad [Kern] told me about [Agent Murphy], he was, like, 'He's a Homeland Security agent, he's 180 degrees opposite from what you played in my pilot this year, but I really think you could do it.' And I was, like, 'Wow, thanks for trusting me with Agent Murphy.'}}

Also cast in main roles were [[Ana Ortiz]]<ref>http://www.tvweek.com/pdf/wbpilotchart.pdf</ref> (who went on to star in ''[[Ugly Betty]]'' the following year) and [[Beatrice Rosen]]<ref>{{cite news|author=Justin Chang Senior Film Critic @JustinCChang |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117921069.html?categoryid=1236&cs=1&query=beatrice+rosen+mermaid |title=Beatrice Rosen |publisher=Variety |date=2005-04-13 |accessdate=2013-10-26}}</ref> who, like Quinn, developed a recurring role in ''Charmed's'' eighth season as Maya Holmes, an innocent whose image [[Piper Halliwell]] inadvertently uses as her [[shapeshifting|false identity]] 'Jenny Bennett'.

The pilot was considered to have a good chance of being picked up, but when The WB and UPN merged into The CW, the resulting network passed on the show. Speaking on the failure of the series to be picked up, Kern also revealed that [[CBS]] and [[Paramount Television]] 'decided at the last second to cut the budget in half', which resulted in the number of shooting days to be reduced, thus decreasing the quality of the pilot in being able to '"sell" the concept'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=1452|title = Exclusive TV Profile: CHARMED CREATOR BRAD KERN BIDS FAREWELL TO HIS WITCHY, WITCHY WAYS|publisher=ifmagazine.com|date=21 March 2006|accessdate=4 January 2014|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20100709180100/http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=1452|archivedate=9 July 2010}}</ref>

For its first three seasons, ''Charmed'' was the second-highest rated series on [[The WB]].<ref name="BossNYPost">{{cite news|last1=Starr|first1=Michael|title="Charmed" Boss Tirade|url=http://nypost.com/2000/12/12/charmed-boss-tirade/|accessdate=3 May 2017|work=[[New York Post]]|date=12 December 2000}}</ref><ref name="McGowanNYPost">{{cite news|last1=Starr|first1=Michael|title="Charmed," I'm Sure: Rose McGowan's "P" For Perfect|accessdate=3 May 2017|work=[[New York Post]]|date=14 June 2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Kaplan|first1=Don|title=Has TV's Wild One Lost Her Charm?: Shannen Doherty Bashes Boss (Again!) and Co-Stars|accessdate=3 May 2017|work=[[New York Post]]|date=26 July 2001}}</ref> As the highest-rated [[fantasy television|fantasy]] series on the network, it consistently surpassed the ratings of other series in the same genre, including ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and ''[[Angel (1999 TV series)|Angel]]''.<ref name="BossNYPost"/> Its debut episode, "[[Something Wicca This Way Comes]]", broke the network's record for the highest rated series premier with 7.7 million viewers.<ref name="DebutRecords">{{cite news|last1=Bierbaum|first1=Tom|title="Charmed" Preem|accessdate=3 May 2017|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=9 October 1998}}</ref> Due to this ratings success, an entire [[Charmed (season 1)|first season]] of twenty-two episodes was commissioned after only the first two had aired — a first in [[Aaron Spelling]]'s four decades-long career.

In the [[United Kingdom]], ''Charmed'' was a ratings success for broadcaster [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]]. In February 2002, the series achieved the network's third-highest ratings in its history, becoming the highest rated episode of a scripted series for Channel 5 (the two higher-viewed broadcasts were of live sporting events).<ref>{{cite news|last1=Deans|first1=Jason|title=US Drama Charms Channel 5's Ratings|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/feb/25/overnights1|accessdate=3 May 2017|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=25 February 2002}}</ref> In March of the same year, ''Charmed'' helped the network gain its highest figures for a Saturday since September 1999.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Deans|first1=Jason|title=Viewers Oblivious to Havers' Charms|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/mar/25/overnights|accessdate=3 May 2017|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=22 March 2002}}</ref>

Although [[streaming media|online]] [[film distributor|television distributors]] do not regularly compile ratings figures, during 2012, ''Charmed'' was the second-most watched television series across all subscription [[video-on-demand]] services, including [[Amazon Video]] and [[Netflix]]. Its success on Netflix inspired a [[Charmed#Proposed CBS reboot|proposed CBS reboot]] of the series in 2013.<ref name="RSNetflix">{{cite news|last1=Herbert|first1=Kiran|title="Charmed" Netflix Success Prompts CBS Reboot|accessdate=4 May 2017|work=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=25 October 2015}}</ref>
