I came in to say "So, exactly in the spirit of the original then?"

But now I'm just going to point out that the Buffy remake is almost certainly going to be absolutely atrocious.

nah, I've seen bbt maybe 3 times, and like i said, I used to watch charmed when i was way younger (it ended when I was 12 i think, but i don't think i watched it all the way until the last episode)

The CW isn't abc nbc cbs or fox...trying to compete with them is suicide

suicide is what happens when you put supergirl on at the same time as The sunday night football game

The CW is on a much smaller scale...why do you think their source of news is dailymail where as every other major prime time network has their own nightly news setup?

If you knew anything about Charmed Lore, then you'd know Paige had a different father than the other sisters and was just as powerful.

If it's a matter of one being adopted rather than biological, it kinda does, doesn't it?

I dont see why, unless the fact that they were biological sisters was a crucial element of the plot before

Its always possible they decided to cast the people that auditioned well and they thought would best fit the roles, rather than making the choice on skin color

Granted, if they share at least one parent in plot, they could *still* cast actors from different racial background and have it fit. Just having one be adopted is flaky.

It's been a long time since I watched it so the details are a bit fuzzy but; isn't that what the whole "Power of Three" thing they have is from? That they're from a special lineage of witches and the reason they're so powerful is because they can pool their strength when they chant spells.

And that's the reason why they were desperate to find their long lost sister when they knew they had one, just to restore "the power of three" when the other one died?

It literally was the plot. So much so that they had to write in a new bio sis when one of the actresses left the show.

That one worked because they went full-on Lovecraft with it. And because it had an overarching storyline and wasn't just episodic.

Though I have to admit, I had a fondness for 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo back in the day as well.

They are, it is basically going the Riverdale route (which makes sense since Sabrina is an Archie Comics character). In fact supposedly some of the cast of Riverdale are going to make cameos in the show.

I seriously doubt there is much overlap in the audiences for Charmed and Sunday Night Football.

Live ratings are mattering less and less too as more and more people are either cutting cable or DVRing it to watch later.

Well... for the first few seasons before an actress was sacked, and a half-sister was brought in.

That was, in part, because her father was a white lighter (aka., an angel), and also because plot dictated she caught up quickly after reading and studying, copying, and pacticing the pages.

Most really mainstream tv is pretty watered down so it's not terribly funny. There are obvious exceptions like Seinfeld.

For the longest time, the one that bugged me the most was BBT but thankfully that's going.

And also because it was tongue-in-cheek and humorously self-aware. Honestly, the humor is what sold it on me. The overarching story was a bonus.

Granted, I also always kinda liked the more humorous spinoffs, like A Pup Named Scooby Doo.

Also a fun series, but stupidly short. Picked it up cheaply last year, but then never got around to rewatching it.
