On October 7, 1998, a series premiered that would go on to “charm” viewers for eight years. The Halliwell sisters find out they are powerful witches, who must use their combined “Powers of Three” to protect innocents and save the world from the dark side. Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and (later) Rose McGowan took on the roles of Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige, and made “Charmed” one of the biggest hits for the fledgling WB network.

When will criminals learn to avoid victims connected to Magnum's inner circle?
This time out, Kumu's friend Ying had been scammed by a man who then disappeared on Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episode 12.
Kumu knows people, so this crime against her mah jongg buddy wouldn't stand.
Let's face it. Kumu doesn't get enough screen time for someone in the opening credits.
She's been a rock when it comes to Robin's Nest and La Mariana. She was there for support when T.C. moved into rehab on Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episode 11.
So when Kumu asked for help fo ripped-off single mother Ying, Magnum and Higgins dropped everything. That's only right after all that Kumu has done for those around her.
Tracking down scammers in China appeared daunting, as did combing through all the WhatsApp correspondence between Ying and Han.
Watching Kumu skewer Thomas for his lack of technological prowess was hilarious.
