Eastwick Canceled, Some Fans Upset, Maybe

Eastwick, the show about witches starring Rebecca Romijn, is canceled. Given the ol' heave-ho. Put out to pasture. Made like Rebecca Romijn in X-Men 2 when she turned into Jean Grey and tried to make the sex with Wolverine, but he saw through it and stabbed her in the belly with his claws.

First Reaper and now this. This economy is terrible. Even Satan can't keep a steady gig.

Here's the RevolutionSF review. And the whole canceled show will probably be on DVD fairly soon. At least you don't have to go to a grimy corner of a sci-fi convention to get a bootleg copy. Unless you just want to.

Maggie Friedman, the show's producer said, "I’m pretty furious, too. None of us can believe this is really happening."

Yeah! I mean, it's not like the show is on Fox.

Later, Friedman retracted saying "furious". Now she says she is just "sad."

What that means is, she believes her bosses at ABC will not hire her again if she appears to be an enraged psycho.

The worst part is ABC dropped it so fast that the already-filmed last episode will not wrap up the series.

“We do not get a chance to wrap things up in a bow. Which is killing me."

One weird thing. I have not found an Eastwick fan site! Not one. Every sci-fi-ish show gets gaggles of organized fans. Even terrible shows get fan sites.

There is not even a fan-organized Save Eastwick campaign to send something silly to ABC executives like the Jericho fans and their nuts.

Sure, maybe fans are too busy with Dollhouse campaigns. But you saw that one coming. It's too easy.

Here's an idea. Send devil's food cake. I thought of that in about a second.

I just feel terrible for all the gorgeous actresses on the show! It is so hard for a beautiful woman to find work in Hollywood.


RevolutionSF's Joe Crowe apparently has to do everything for [Insert Canceled Show Here].

I love this show....It is really getting good and I love the characters on the show. I watch t.v. to escape reality and I bet they will replace it with another who cares reality show. The actors are great on this show and it really has a great storyline. I was looking forward to watching the story play out..

WTF! This is a great show! Leave it to a clueless bunch of TV execs to ruin a good thing.

I sent a message directly to abc and got a very generic letter in reply "thanks for watching and sending us a comment but we can't read everyone's email." Little person doesn't count yet again. So sad... I haven't been happy with my shows since Charmed finished. Why don't they realize that we now live in DVR/TiVo land and live showings get recorded! These same arrogant people won't miss me much when I stop watching and supporting other ABC ventures: Grey's, Desperate Housewives, Secret Life of the American Teenager, and last and the biggest: GENERAL HOSPITAL. I have been watching my entire life and I guess I can put my money into my cable channels from here on in. I am really getting into the Chiller channel and I miss Lifetime/LMN/Oxygen networks. Maybe I can get back into BBCA again. They would love to have me.

I'm sad too. I thought it was a great show! There may not be a fan website, but there were a lot of people complaining directly to ABC's web site. Many of us didn't watch the show at the 10 o'clock hour because it's late for the working population, but instead we would watch it online at their website. Of course they never replied.
