2000 was an enormous yr for each “Charmed” and “Buffy.” Over in Aaron Spelling land, “Charmed” was navigating from season 2, which solidified the collection as a rankings smash, into season 3, the tip of which might see star Shannen Doherty make a surprising exit (conclusively revealed very not too long ago on Holly Marie Combs’ podcast “Let’s Be Clear” to be the results of a authorized ultimatum issued by co-star Alyssa Milano). “Buffy,” in the meantime, was navigating its personal monumental shift, as 2000 marked the final yr the present would totally air on its unique community, The WB, earlier than being offloaded onto UPN, a transfer that coincided in lots of followers’ views with a drop in high quality.
The yr 2000 ought to now be remembered for one more milestone in each “Charmed” and “Buffy” histories: the visitor look of Amy Adams in each collection. Adams wasn’t a complete unknown on the time. Extremely, her appearing debut was in Michael Patrick Jann and Lona Williams’ 1999 cult basic “Drop Lifeless Attractive,” a movie oft-championed over right here at /Movie. She adopted that up with memorable roles in “Psycho Seashore Occasion” and the direct-to-video sequel to “Merciless Intentions.” (Fortunately, Amy is lastly returning to horror with “Nightbitch.”) However her back-to-back appearances on “Charmed” and “Buffy” deserve a re-evaluation.
