When I read the Witches of Eastwick I did not think, hey Updike's really breaking free from his usual misogyny. I am quite surprised that was his intention there. Good...try?

Yesterday, a commercial for this show advertised it as "Sex and the City in Salem!" which to me is sort of like saying "It's like Hocus Pocus, but shitty!"

I didn't hate this movie, but it wasn't overly memorable either. I understand that it has the potential for that technicolor quirkiness that's become popular a la Pushing Daisies and such, but again I'd love it if television was either a bit more original OR if they resurrected really good shows that were canceled unexpectedly, not because they were bad shows, but because they just couldn't get a good foothold. Case and Point...Kindred: The Embraced. I adored that show, and it has everything popular right now. Vampires...check. Good story...check. Was a Fox cult fave right around the time of 90210 popularity and Melrose Place...check, check. It was possibly a little before its time when it aired in 1996. Who cared about dusty vampires and their family clans then, right? But we do now. So it's kinda already primed for a Fox show reboot. Sad thing about Mark Frankel who played Julian Luna, though. But if done right it could be Brill, and if there's one thing Fox doesn't have right now it's a vampire show, especially a good one with layers.

You've obviously forgotten the stage musical version that played in London a few years ago!
