Put it on ABC, isn't that for comedy though? If it isn't than at least it would be more than likely to get a fairer chance. The CW will cut it after a season cause of that b****h that's in charge, that's the whole reason it hasn't be picked up already.

Yeah, I think ABC tends to have more comedy. They've got shows like "Brothers and Sisters", "Lost", "Grays Anatomy", and "Ugly Betty"... but I think TCS would get a fairer shot there even if that network isn't known for supernatural dramas.
NBC has "Heroes", "ER", "Friday Night Lights"... with them having "Heroes", and as huge a succes as that's been, there's the possibility of them giving another Supernatural/Sci-Fi type drama a chance. The show could do well there... especially if it got a spot directly before or after "Heroes" and could tap into that fan-audience. Folks would see it and go "Ah, well, ya know that looks interesting... and Heroes comes on right before/after, I'll watch that too to see what it's about."
CBS has part of the CW, so if it went to them... they'd send it over there. Their big hitters are the "CSI:(insert which one here)" shows and "NUMB3RS" at the moment... so I wouldn't see them giving something like TCS a primetime spot.
FOX has "Prison Break", "House", and "24"...

I stick with ABC then, shows seem to get a good record from them as far as I can tell and also they seem to be very respectful and loyal to their shows. 8 Simple Rules seems to be one I can remember, they handled the death of the lead very well and still managed to go on for another season or two sucessfully.

Put it on ABC, isn't that for comedy though? I've been so angry with ABC ever since they canceled Commander in Chief, which was amazingly popular. The reason ratings fell was quite obviously their fault. (IMHO, I think they took it off the air to please the political views of someone, and just gave us the BS about it being because of ratings.) I haven't watched any of their shows since. |

I never had the opportunity to watch Commander in Chief, but my mother did and she said that she enjoyed it a lot. Every network seems to have shows like that though that are popular but somehow wind up fizzling out. I do agree with you Daniel that they handled what happened with 8 Simple Rules well. I would be happy to see either ABC or NBC pick up the show.

I never had the opportunity to watch Commander in Chief, but my mother did and she said that she enjoyed it a lot. It was really good. I'm one of those people that really doesn't have a like for politics (excluding a few "hot topics"), which is why I never got into shows like The West Wing. But CiC embodied my ideal President. A woman and an Independent (like myself). And much to my delight, it was even written well! (At times it literally had me screaming at the TV and the next moment I was holding my stomach in gut busting laughter.) After CiC aired, I realized that I hadn't been that excited about a show (or the next episode) since the first time I saw Charmed. (I figured that if a show could do that to me, it must be good T.V.) |

Then that makes me even more dissappointed that I didn't get the opportunity to see if before it was taken off the air. I had heard that the president was a woman and kept making a mental note to watch it or set my DVR to record it, but I kept forgetting and then it was gone. Alas. Yes, you're probably right, someone's political issues were most likely the reason it was pulled off the air. Sad.

Yeah, that's how I am with L&O: SVU. It's so interesting and exiting and the on-screen chemistry with all the actors is amazing. There is a reason that Wolf hasn't changed the characters like he usual does with the other two L&Os.
I like the idea with it being paired with Heros. It could definitely work. This just means that TCS would need to be a little darker and more dramatic than comedic like Charmed. Because at this moment, I can only see The CW picking it up because of it's childish writing and concepts.
ABC..more of a comedic network....yeah, I don't want TCS to take that side at all. I mean, yes, I want it to have funny parts, but in the atmosphere of it like S1-3 of Charmed. I prefer Charmed and TCS as a drama, not a dramady(sp).

Agreed that if it were to be paired with Heroes it would need to be a little bit darker, which is something that I would like to see anyway. I would want there to be comedic moments of course. It would need that to lighten it up a little and keep the spirit of sarcasm and witty dialogue, but I want to see more drama and darker, more dangerous action. The show needs a bit of an edge to it, I think.
{shudder} CW picking it up because of childish writing and concepts? {shudder again} Yes, I follow you there completely. Same thing with ABC, they would likely turn it into more of a dramady so that it would fit in with their other shows.

That's what we're trying to do with CRR; make it darker, but keep it Charmed. I've heard a lot of people say that if Prue was still alive, the show would have been darker than it turned out to be, and I wish it had. All the comedy bs bored me, and the final two seasons....I think I watched because by that point, I was so obsessed with the show, nothing could have made me miss an episode.

Same here. That's something else that I like about what you guys are doing here at C:RR. There's a bit more darkness to the show and I'm loving it.

Hmm... not sure where else to ask this, anyone know a good site that has free video clips that I can download and use. I'm looking for clips with Colin Hanks, Jessica Biel, and Delta Goodrem. Some more Chris and Wyatt clips wouldn't hurt either. Watching your new opening credits with Shawn Christian has inspired me to light a fire under my friend that's working on the credits for Destined, and I figure as much as I can get done for him the better. He's been terribly busy these last few weeks, though so had I. It's been a crazy month.

does anyone know what the song that is playing when the seer looks into her crystal ball in Charmed again and we see Paige dancing with shane. It kind of goes like you can find the wizard glass, no one deserves to live that way.
