I didn't know they moved Supergirl to Sunday Nights. I checked to see how the ratings were last year and the ratings seemed okay. I wonder what this move is all about.

I think they needed a good lead in for Charmed. Sundays have worked for shows on the CW in the past I think it'll be fine

I don't know about @JamalSpunky, but I want the "Charmed" reboot series & the upcoming "Roswell" reboot series to fail because I'm disgusted that The CW has ran out of ideas & is now remaking old WB Network shows that I grew up on. I now understand why oldheads complain when movies & TV shows that they grew up on in the 80's get remade.

The original series created a what is now seen as a blatant racist rule that none of the sisters would ever date the black detective who was the co-star for several years. Never forgave the franchise for that. And I'm guessing no such restrictions would be placed on any white male co-stars of this new show now that all the ladies are women of color

I don't like remakes...not even of shows I didn't respect. Its lazy.

Why whenever there is a remake of a show in which the female star or stars were white, the show suddenly use women of color, particularly black women, as the replacement? This is what they did to Charlie's Angels. This is what they plan on doing to the Buffy remake if it goes through. Susan B Anthony once infamously said (and I'm paraphrasing) she didn't do all that work for women's rights just to see the Negro get the rights. I feel where she's coming from. I didn't just support the push for diversity just to see women of color get the benefits with men of color left with crumbs. Fuck. That. Hell, do a remake, keep the women white and THIS TIME allow a black male co-star to hook up with one of the characters and I may tolerate it. Now that would be making up for past sins of the original show.

It's a CW show which means it isn't gonna be that great. Yeah, I'm biased in my views about the overall quality of this network. Sue me.

Woke Twitter started supporting this show as soon a it came under fire from fans and cast members of the original series who objected to the remake. I hate Woke Twitter.

In thr original series black dude was married fam. Albiet you never saw him be affectionate with his wife and if I recall they had only two episodes one of which was where she was pregnant.
With the exception of black sash(good show sad it only got one season and had Ray J as a lead smh) the CW never has main characters like black men which is why I just wait for most of their seasons to end up on Netflix with the exception of the Flash at this point. I'm coming to the realization mainstream tv will never create shows with us in mind which is why I keep most of tv watching on Canadian and UK shows.

The MCU has always dipped into the Ultimate Marvel universe for story ideas, black Nick Fury being the best example. Since they have already established that Miles exists in the MCU he will get his due, just remember the MCU has years of movies to make.

Don't care if they do a live action Miles film down the road. I just want them to stop taking Miles' shit for these Tom Holland movies.

LOL. "Woke Twitter" & "Woke Tumblr" are usually younger than me, so I'm going to assume they never watched the original series. Which explains why they don't care how the cast from the original series feels.

Look at my earlier post in this thread, the Buffy reboot isn't really a reboot or remake:

Remember that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot series that was announced back at SDCC. I just found out it isn't really a reboot. It's a new show with a new young slayer & new characters in the already established Buffyverse.



The showrunner posted this on Twitter back in late July:

The series premiere of "All American" has a 8.5 (out of 10) score on IMDB. I haven't checked Rotten Tomatoes yet.

Back in May, I compared the show to "Friday Night Lights" the TV show & the CW's 90210 series. I'm halfway through the series premiere & I think I'm gonna add "The O.C." as another to compare it to.

Seen the first episode. It is decent.
 
IGN put out a 3-minute non-spoiler review for Netflix's "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" yesterday:

Jacki and David discuss whether or not the new Netflix series, starring Mad Men's Kiernan Shipka, is magical or disenchanting.

I didn't realize the actress playing Sabrina is the same actress who played the daughter on "Mad Men".

TV Guide put out this 1-minute clip yesterday:

We break down the differences between the original Charmed series (starring Alyssa Milano, Shannen Doherty and Holly Marie Combs) and The CW's 2018 reboot (with newcomers Melonie Diaz, Sarah Jeffery and Madeleine Mantock). Did you spot them all?

I hope this is what happens.

Let's face it, all of the Netflix MCU shows have serious story pacing issues. I think combining Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist into one show would make a much better show than all three are by themselves.

Netflix just cancelled "Luke Cage":

https://deadline.com/2018/10/luke-c...flx-mike-colter-cheo-hodari-coker-1202486487/
This axing of Luke Cage came as a surprise as a writer’s room under showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker had had been working for awhile, producing scripts for a third season, with a formal order considered almost a foregone conclusion. The pink slipping of the Mike Colter-led series was ultimately a combo of the age old creative differences and the inability for the parties involved to reach a deal, according to sources. We hear that Netflix was not particularly impressed by the delivered Season 3 scripts. The writers room was recently put on hold, and we hear a behind-the-scenes turmoil ensued. There was a disagreement between the sides on a creative direction and possible personnel changes, leading to the cancellation.
