Lela Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Looks like this Fall may be the season of the witch on abc (here in the US). Seems like they will be airing a TV show called Eastwick based on the movie Witches of Eastwick. You can see a preview here. Not sure what to think based on the preview, but at least these witches don't seem to be running around trying to save the world by vanquishing demons, LOL!

Redd Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 It looks pretty interesting. I wonder how the story line will end up playing out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfjan1 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 It looks like fun. Once we start taking ourselves too seriously, we ruin our general perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHawk Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Yep I agree....I'll certainly have a look :witch2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDG Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Now that i know Paul Gross (my fav. canadian actor and looks good as a mounty) is going to be playing daryl, i am hooked and its not on till tonight! I am uber excited to see if this one stays around, so many only play out for 6 episodes but i would love to see this one for mroe than one season. Man and paul gross...hot as all get out.

Morgana Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 In the Chicago papers today, no one liked it much. They dont think it will be around long. But hey, the fluffies see Witch, so it may turn out like Charmed (which I am embarrassed to say I have been watching the reruns since I was laid off). I'll watch it tonite!!! See whats whats afterwards.....I actually hope its good and stays around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Witch Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I've got the TV set to flip over when it comes on. Not sure how I feel about the trailers ... looks more like a witchy "Desperate Housewives". But I'll give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDG Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I tend to watch many of my shows if they have an attractive set of people. Everyone in the cast is someone i have already seen on many of my shows. I think it is designed to market at the desperate housewives audience, with a handsome man and three women getting what they want. I know it will be different than the movie, but maybe it will get deserved attention. Just hate to see another show with Paul in it that gets cut out too early as Due South did (which still has a huge fan base). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophiadawn Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have not seen any commercials on this but have set the TIVO to record incase I forget to flip over and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its boring, there's other new shows on tonite!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophiadawn Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 you know, I never did care for desperate housewives but the husband liked it, come to think of it, he liked Charmed more than I did too. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Witch Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Watched ... wasn't impressed. I was right about the "Desperate Housewives" angle. won't watch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDG Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Even though its not my style of show, still will watch because of Paul Gross (daryl). Went a bit fast, scene to scene, i think they were trying to cram the movie into one episode for the people who have never seen the witches of eastwick. I laughed as i saw the evil church lady was in it again, and again got attacked because of daryl! It does have a housewives feel, but may have enough interest to hold me for a bit longer as i like rebecca romaines boldness in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lela Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Saw it and thought it was ok, definitely has a desperate housewives thing going on, but I'll probably watch it again. It was just the pilot episode, so I think it could go either way at this point... time will tell. I, too, got a kick out of seeing the evil church lady again.

sophiadawn Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Well, I watched it this morning. I think it definitely has a desperate housewives feel. I liked it well enough to give it another episode before I decide to put it on my watch list or not. I also liked the rebecca Romajn character but anyone named roxie has to be cool...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgana Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Nope, did not like it. Oh well!! I may try it another time and see if it does anything for me then. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue_ann Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Didn't grab me with the WOW factor, found it bit rushed. Paul Gross looked well hot :blobfire: I will probably stick with it as it was easy watching. I wish CBS had stuck with Sudbury the Practical Magic TV show and wish I could get my hands on a copy of that pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinney Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I just started to watch this today online, Im loving it, Ive never seen desperate housewives so cannot compare and yes Paul Gross and Rebecca Romijn are gorgeous :biggrin2: So i have my eye candy.Did any of you watch any more?

sophiadawn Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I watched 2 maybe 3 episodes and it has since fallen off my to-watch radar. It was just ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDG Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I still watch it. I have to say that its corny but i am really liking it so far, paul gross is a fantastic actor and needs to lighten up on the voice but i miss seeing him in american cinema. I have Due South on dvd which was a great show and i miss that show as well im hoping that this one stays for a while and the writers keep up well. Hes a great actor and has many well writen parts, this one believe it or not is slightly below his acting level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
