Complain when reboots are the same. Complain when reboots change something. Complain when they do something new. Complain when they rehash the same old thing.

Maybe being entertained just isn't for you guys?

We should remake good times and make it about the struggles of a poor white family growing up in the hood.

Excuse me, but I think you're mistaken, because modern television is not entertaining in the least.

According to Deadline, the new Bewitched will follow Samantha, a hard-working black woman and single mum, who happens to be a witch.

She marries a man called Darren, who isn't magical, and as the pair struggle to navigate their differences, Samantha realises that despite being magic, she's still not as powerful as a white man in America.


On the one hand.... none of this sounds anything like Bewitched. On the other hand I can kinda see this being alright but still why did they have to call it a "Bewitched" reboot when the premise is entirely different.

I feel like it's dumb to constantly reboot things with some kind of progressive narrative. It feels like they're implying these actors cannot stand on their own without a big name behind them. It's fine if it's a sequel introducing more varied characters, but simply using the name with a bunch of original characters feels cheap.

Half of the older stuff is imitations of even older stuff. We've been telling the same damn stories for thousands of years. To arbitrarily decide that a certain decade is the 'best' is ridiculous.

Not to mention the fact that we are actively filtering out the bad stuff from those time periods. You only remember the good, just like people in the future will look back nostalgically and only remember the good of this period while forgetting about the trash that was cancelled after one season.

At least one season finale needs to end on a cliffhanger where a KKK grand wizard is an actual wizard.

Or, better yet: Several high-ranking KKK members are wizards. The actual grand wizard turns out to not be one.

That's fair. I was talking about the race change, mostly. Reboots are pretty safe and boring, for the most part. They aren't really 'new', though. It's just more apparent now that old shows are more exposed to current viewers.

does a witch have to be white?

If a vampire doesn't have to be pale then I'd say the same applies to a witch. Remember the cast of The Craft?

The thing here is that Blade was good and original and not "the black version" of something.
