The third eye thing is a derivative of Hindu practices, based on the Chakras of the body. There's a lot of crossover with Wicca and other practices. That being said, "Charmed" is *not* Wicca...it isn't even witchcraft as practiced by our ancestors. It is fictional television.
I have met several young people who became interested in Wicca via "Charmed", "The Craft" and "Practical Magic". Although elements of Wicca exist in all of these entertainments, *none* of them reflect the truth of the matter. However, serious-minded individuals have come to Wicca through these harmless amusements and grown into serious practitioners.
