Corrected entry: The past versions of Patty and Penny are amazed to learn that their daughters and granddaughters, respectively, are the Charmed Ones. However, both women knew the centuries-old prophecy that three sisters would eventually be born into the Warren line, and that they would be the Charmed Ones. It's conceivable that Patty, who came from a time before the birth of Phoebe, would not have thought of the prophecy at this time. Penny, however, came from after Phoebe was born, and previous flashback episodes had shown that Penny knew that the three sisters were the Charmed Ones immediately when the third sister was born, and was still convinced of the fact up until Penny's death [despite the birth of a fourth daughter to Patty].

Charmed (1998)
Corrected entry: In this episode the Charmed Ones see Bianca when she is little and when she is grown. When she is grown and from the future, she is the same age as Chris it would appear, even though we don't know her age. Chris is 22. As a child, Bianca looks like she is 7, that would make her 29. How would they have gotten together?
Correction: The little girl (Bianca) could easily have been 4 or 5. While it might be unusual for a 22 year old guy to date a 26 year old woman (Future Bianca could easily be 26 or 27), it's not impossible or unheard of. Also, Bianca is a Phoenix witch; perhaps they age differently. Demons through the series seem not to age as mortals or good witches do (Cole is a prime example). Bianca has the (demonic) power to "shimmer" (which no "good" character has done in the series, unless you count Cole-as-good while he still had his demonic powers) and Chris implies in the future flash-forward that before they met, she was a ruthless killer (Phoenix witches are bounty hunters, so it makes sense they are more similar to demons than they are to good witches).

Charmed (1998)
Corrected entry: In 'Be Careful What You Witch For' the wishes were reversed if the genie went back into the bottle, but in this episode the different genies went back in the bottle several times without the wishes being reversed.
Correction: In "Be Careful What You Witch For," the genie had become human after all three wishes were granted (which is why he was able to eat food and such). He agreed to revert to being a genie again after he realized his actions had caused the death of Prue and other terrible consequences (i.e. he feels guilty, so he agrees to become a genie again to fix the wrongs he did by tricking the sisters into making wishes).

Charmed (1998)
Corrected entry: The sisters act as though they have never heard of the evil eye before; but in episode 1-2 'I've Got You Under My Skin' the demon Javna invokes the power of the evil eye to steal youth from women.
Correction: Javna is the Charmed Ones' second vanquish, so it isn't all that unreasonable to assume they didn't know (or remember) that Javna's power was "the evil eye" since they were so new to the craft. They used the Hand of Fatima to vanquish him, and no "evil eye" was mentioned in 1-2 "I've Got You Under My Skin."
Correction: The evil eye was mentioned by Prue when they read the Javna entry.

Correction: Yes, perhaps Penny did believe the girls would eventually become The Charmed Ones, but this wasn't confirmed to her [officially]. For all she knew, one of them would refuse their powers, die young [before their powers were restored], etc. Also, she died immediately after making a potion to strip their powers [Re-witched, Season 3]. She could have simply been expressing amazement that her beliefs were confirmed about her granddaughters' destiny. After all, she does say "I always knew The Charmed Ones would come from me...well, once removed, of course. It's one thing to believe a prophecy will come true, it's another to actually witness Future Piper confirming her belief.

The original post is correct. Penny did know they'd be the Charmed Ones as soon as it was known that Patty was having a third child. That's the entire reason the warlock Nicholas made Patty bless the ring, and why Grams' bound their powers. It's been stated in other episodes as well. So Penny definitely knew, but in Forever Charmed she was shocked when Patty told her the girls would become the Charmed Ones.
