Original Charmed writer drags reboot

I find it fascinating that you continue to try and re-write history, as if the new actresses didn't bad-mouth the original first. :toofunny3: It's blatantly misleading.

 

I personally don't see an issue with the original actresses being unhappy that they weren't asked to be involved in any capacity when the reboot is essentially using the (still prevalent and high vocal) fanbase of the original without effectively paying tribute to the original. The original is still overwhelmingly loved (unlike the car crash reboot), so for them to not involve the original cast in any capacity is pretty disrespectful and rightfully ruffled feathers.

but that had nothing to do with the new actresses in the first place

Holly, Alyssa and Rose all came for them

the only time the new actresses replied to them negatively was when Sarah responded to Holly's attack like a season ago

the OG actresses acted like Charmed was some sort of Emmy winning TV series that revolutionalized TV back then and was having HUGE ratings

when it had the same reach as the new one aka a small portion of people tuning in compared to other shows

reboots don't owe anything to the actresses/actors beforehand tbh

pretty sure they would have been more positive about the old one if Holly/Alyssa and Rose didn't attack the new show when announced

The fandom was not here for the reboot, the second it was announced. Especially because it paid tribute in no way to the original that it was leeching off of. Then multiple people involved in the reboot, including the new actresses, repeatedly shaded the original show. But you're upset the OG's shaded back?

 

For an alleged "fan" you sure have a dislike for the original show and cast. You can appreciate the new version without lying about the original. Literally what's the point?

But seriously one should probably not brag about being a writer on charmed if they care about their career ?Screenshot-20220612-014346-Firefox.png

Why not? Charmed was and is iconic. One of its writers went on to become Grey's Anatomy's writers. 

 

The episode depicted above was not written by the writer from the OP. He has written some of the best and most remembered episodes in the whole show.

original charmed was an occasionally good show. less so when first prue, then cole, left.

 

the original's cast and crew only seem to be in the news for hating either the new show or taking turns hating each other.

Now why do you have to lie?

Charmed had the most watched pilot of the WB up until that point and was consistently the 2nd most watched show of the network after 7th Heaven. It was a global success and was revolutionary at its time. Its feministic themes abiut female empowerment have been taught in universities.

"Occasionally good" is better than the "never good" the reboot achieved. :clap3: And history repeated itself, with the new cast hating each other as well.

This is a flat out lie. The same reach as the new one? This just shows you have no idea what you're talking about, and disregards anything else you've mentioned.

 

In 2000, it was reported, "Charmed has been averaging about 5.8 million viewers this season, the WB's second-highest-rated show behind 7th Heaven (8.2 million viewers). It's done so in a tough timeslot, airing at 9pm opposite Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on ABC and Will & Grace on NBC"

 

In 2001, it was reported, "Generally lost somewhere in the shuffle of last week's announcement about Buffy the Vampire Slayer moving from The WB to UPN next season is the fact that, while widely acknowledged as the network's signature show, Buffy is not its number-one show - or even its number two. The network's No. 1 rated spot is taken by the Monday-night family saga 7th Heaven, while Charmed is the second highest. 'Everybody's always surprised to find out we're actually a higher-rated show', says Brad Kern, executive producer of Charmed, which is rated just ahead of third-place Buffy."

OT: Good! Drag it! The show was horrible. I could barely get through the first season before I gave up altogether.

I despised the new Charmed with the intensity of a thousand suns, but do they need to keep dragging it? It's true the new showrunners talked smack first, but do they really need to be read when karma has already done it so well?

So you’re comparing a 5.8M audience when most shows got over 30M viewers each night

to a show that averaged like 400k this season in a world of shows not getting more than 4-5M viewers each episode

 

worms for brains. Also Charmed never touched Buffy’s timelessness and quality.

Most shows. :rip: "Will & Grace" & "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" were both averaging 17M viewers in the same time slot. Let's not forget they were both on well-known, major, television networks.

 

Like why would you compare this tragic reboot to the likes of the original when the OG "Charmed" was the #2 show on the fairly new "WB". The reboot did not have the same reach, not even close. Even their #1 critical darling, "7th Heaven", was averaging 7M viewers.

 

And "Buffy" wasn't even Top 2 on "The WB" when they moved over to UPN. Not only are you brainless, but your age is showing.

It's not over yet, he's currently dedicating his Twitter page to hating on the reboot.

Don't know what high horse that writer is on when OG Charmed completely ripped off The Craft :rip:

Is this writer jobless since the OG Charmed ended or why is he dedicating his whole online presence to a show that was cancelled 16 years ago? Move on with your life :rip:

I'm a Charmed fan and I must say, the reboot is better than the OG. The only episode that was worse was the first one.

… did we watch the same show?

 

the reboot got cancelled for a good reason. It wasn’t good and it completely strayed away from the lore of the original without even giving the old one a nod.

the reboot got cancelled because of the network got bought, not a question of quality

also I think they did give few nods here and there but didn't make a big deal about it cause the OG kept shading it

The only thing they had in common was the theme song and the fact that the leading ladies were witches. 

 

Constance M Burge, the creator of Charmed, based the Halliwell sisters in her own sisters.

Hmm fishy about the so called “writer.” Because based on that teeet they sound like a 15 yr old. 

Have you ever watched Charmed? Being a "writer" on that show did not take much skill. :skull:

Charmed could be entertaining, but it wasn't actually known for good writing (or acting).

The OG definitely peaked with Shannen Doherty, but even then it was awful. Getting through season 2 was so hard. :skull:
