Charmed Reboot: Will you be watching?

[Granny Charmed]

Will you be watching the Charmed reboot dears if it is picked up to series following the pilot order?

[gzv969]

For curiosity yes. I’ll probably hate it once I see no connection to the original

[davem]

Part of me has a bad feeling this reboot is going to be like Season 8 on steroids. Thinking particularly of the Desperate Housewitches episode.

What will most likely happen for me is, if the trailer isn't bad, I'll watch the first ep. If the first ep isn't bad, I'll proceed with caution. But living in the reboot era... that has seldom happened for me. I usually can never make it past the first few episodes.

Supporting this new reboot is going to be hard for me as a fan, considering that pretty much all the original actresses (correct me if I'm wrong, but even Alyssa is) are against it. From what it sounds like, the studio is just creating a new show under the guise of a familiar title.


If anything, worst case, honestly prefer something similar to the tone of Hope's college life in Little Box of Horrors as opposed to how I'm imagining them altering the show now.

This being CW, you just know with a college theme show and them all living in dorms and on campus they will have love triangles and all the college drama and relationships that follow a typical CW show. 

It being set in a college town implies that the sisters are living on campus, and I'm not familiar, never lived on campus or a college town to know what that meant. A Google search says that a college town or university town is a community (often a separate town or city, but in some cases a town/city neighborhood or a district) that is dominated by its university population. 

Nope, that doesn't thrill me at all and only makes the reboot sound worse. 

But maybe the pilot script will leak online or insiders/media to review the pilot in full. Then we will learn more about this reboot.

My campus wasn't in a collegetown, but my friend's was. I would often visit her. When I think about it, I can see why the writers thought it would be a good setting. Depending on the town, it can have a folk, eclectic, and mysterious feel to it as well as comforting because of the tight nit community.

But I'm not sold on the setting either. 

[Elle Em]

I'm not going to watch it. Charmed for me is three early to mid 20s women who find themselves all living together again in their childhood home in San Francisco in 1998, and find out they have a magical destiny that they must balance with their careers, their significant others, and their relationships with each other. Absolutely nothing about a college town in 2018 with a focus on "tearing down the patriarchy" sounds appealing to me.

[Esmeralda]

I'll repeat what I wrote in the other thread:

Feb 6, 2018 20:30:12 GMT -5 Esmeralda said:

I haven't decided if I want to watch or not - I'll have to wait to hear more about what it's about. If it's about three sisters who are the most powerful witches ever known (but who have totally different names - I only want Shannen, Holly and Alyssa to play Halliwells), I'll be interested. If not, since it won't be Charmed, I won't, the way I couldn't watch Supergirl because that's not Supergirl. I had every Supergirl comic when it first came out - the way I had all of the Superman ones, which is how I was introduced to his high-school aged cousin, Kara - and I enjoyed both the Superman movies and Lois and Clark because they followed the basic mythology of the comics, something the Supergirl movie didn't do and neither did the new Supergirl series, and what I'm afraid Charmed won't.

But the same way a new generation is enjoying the new Supergirl, who knows, maybe a new generation will enjoy a new Charmed. I just know I wouldn't - not even to cringe. I had to do that for the alternate-universe spin-off that most fans think of as S4-8; I don't want to go through that again.

But if others either like it or just watch to cringe, I do hope they'll tell us all about it - I am curious about it and want to read about it but don't want to watch it, the way I like to read about the new Supergirl series, but don't want to watch it.

So, really, except for "Yes, I'm so excited" all of these answers fit, but for now I did the 50/50 one.

As for reboots, I keep thinking about "The Fugitive", the series and the movie. Both were about the same characters (well, okay, Lt. Phillip Gerard became Lt. Sam Gerard, and Richard Kimble was called Dick in the series and Richard in the movie, but...) with the same basic plot but done totally completely differently and I loved both. So like I said, if it's about three sisters who happen to be witches (not three demon-hunters who happen to be related like in the alternate-universe spin-off, S4-8), then I might give it a try. If not, I won't.

And if it's a comedy or a drama rather than a dramedy, I know I won't.

Aww I see - thanks wasn't sure.

I think three sisters in a big city works better than three sisters in a college town or small town.

[purelywyatt]

Yes I'll give it a try. Part of me feels like I will be cheating on the original while the other wants to tune in just out of curiosity to see what they'll do differently. Honestly, I hope their mythology and rules will be sharper than it's predecessor. Charmed became a convoluted mess in the later years when they literally would change the rules of the show's mythology to fit the episode's storyline. I think adding the element of a college town was the writers' way to maybe have this show's tone/feel like that of Season 2 where Phoebe went to school. Now if it has the feel of Season 2- I'm definitely going to watch it.

Yeah a better mythology on Witchcraft and less on the mythology they did in S5-8. Maybe they might have a tigher mythology and less demon of the week plots because those are less common these days on television.

Looks like the youngest sister will be in college for mostly half if not all the series since she is 18 and fresh out of high school. She is much younger than Phoebe was.

[Miranda Turner]

50/50 for me is the best answer.

I can relate to Madison being in college since that is me in my real life and they didn't do much with Phoebe being in college, and she graduated after one year - It's taking me longer than one year to get a degree LOL. So Madison is likely going to be in college for the majority of the series.

But them bringing in an advisor or whitelighter, that actually made me roll my eyes. I hope it isn't actually a whitelighter at all, and something different.

But I'm still conflicted over the reboot. With the timing that this might come out in September/October, I might be too busy with my own college studies to even see it. So we'll see.

[Granny Charmed]

After reading the outlines dears on the characters in the other thread, and seeing we might potentially have whitelighters again and all new love interests for all the sisters. That doesn't sound good at all. *sigh*

Everything but the first option sounds about right for me. I went with 50/50 for now, might change my mind, but the more I hear about more news on the reboot, the more I'm tempted to move towards *No* and hearing all about it from people online and others I know.

[Esmeralda]

Again I'll repost what I posted in the other thread:

Feb 8, 2018 1:38:24 GMT -5 Esmeralda said:

I"ll admit I'm a bit more interested than I was. First, I like the letter being used is an "M" like Melinda Warren, even the fact that there's a Mel - and that the last name is Pruitt - both a "P" and a nod to Prue - those are the sort of nod to the original that I could accept.

I like the Paige character being older rather than younger and the two actual Pruitt characters being opposites so they can bounce off each other like Prue and Phoebe did. If the Paige character (I'm using the Halliwell names rather than the Pruitt ones since we're not used to the Pruitt names yet - and never might) acts like an Only Child and not an Oldest while the Prue character acts like the Oldest and the Phoebe character acts like the Baby, I'll be *very* happy, but I have a hunch they'll mess up the birth order and have the Paige character act like the Oldest, the Prue character act like the Middle and the Phoebe character act like the Baby (I love that the one that's missing is the Piper character - hopefully we don't have one who whines forever about being a witch - who knows? Maybe that's why Holly's so against it....).

Although then again, if the youngest is the one who doesn't want to be a witch, that does make her seem like Piper. I do hope they didn't turn Phoebe into a whiner.

Like others, I'm not nuts on the fact that they already have the Andy character, the Leo character and a Cole character (do we agree that the "sensitive, loner ex-beau" will turn into the Cole character - although if the devilishly-handsome character is actually the Cole-character - half-demon - rather than half-whitelighter, that could be both different and fun), preferring Prue and her mortal boyfriend in the first season, Piper and her angelic boyfriend n the second season and Phoebe and her demonic boyfriend n the third season so the emphasis could be on the sisterhood and not the boyfriend/girlfriend.  

I also really don't like that the one original power that's missing is premonitions, the power I always thought the most important in the original because it showed them which innocent they were supposed to save so it tends to tell me that it will be more like S4-8 than S1-3, which I don't like, and probably more about demon-hunters who happen to be related rather than three sisters who happen to be related, which I definitely don't like.

The funny thing is this is reminding me of the reboot idea that I liked so much earlier and if it was going to be more like it, but without the Piper-like sister (I always knew they were always planning on three sisters and not four - they only mentioned that the ORIGINAL was about four) but I'd be happier:

I thought it would be fun if we put together our own "pitches" for a Charmed reboot. The only rules in place are what we've already heard about the proposed reboot which is that the series would be about four sisters who happen to be witches.

This is mine!

CHARMED

A series about four sisters who happen to be witches. Watch as they explore their new-found destiny, discover the truth about their family history and grow closer as a family as their destiny brings them closer together. And it appears their discovery has come just at the right time as "evils" grip on the world is almost at a point of no return. Can the Warren sisters build upon their strengthened bond and use it to battle the forces of evil?

MELODY WARREN (Kate Mara) is the eldest Warren sister. Aged 26, Melody is well travelled, cultured and street smart but despite being the oldest sister she hasn't naturally filled the usual responsibilities of an elder sibling. Often unreliable and impulsive, some would even say selfish, she isn't a particularly good role models for her younger sisters. Having spent the majority of her adult life travelling around the country and abroad, Melody almost feels like a stranger in her home, struggling to strike a bond with her sisters Maya and Meghan in particular. However, when she discovers the truth about her and her sisters destiny and about their family secret, she begins to settle back into life in Salem, finding common ground with her family. The most intrigued about both the destiny that awaits them and a past they never knew existed, Melody begins to uncover the truth about their heritage. She is shocked when she discovers her memory was erased as a child to keep the family secret under wraps and to save her and her sister lives but she is more "cutup" as she begins to wonder what her life may have been like had she grown up knowing about magic and begins to blame her mother and grandmother for robbing her of her true identity believing not knowing as shaped her into the person she is today.

MAYA WARREN (Evan Rachel Wood) is the sensible one, a confident leader who is fiercely protective of her family. Aged 23, Maya seems wise beyond her years practically filling the role as the eldest that Melody seemed disinterested in fulfilling. A successful journalist, Maya is the main breadwinner in the household and became like a mother to her younger sisters while also caring for their grandmother Martha in her later years. She is dating police detective Sean, who she met by chance through her job as a social worker. Maya was the most reluctant to embrace her and her sisters destiny and was unnerved and almost ignorant about the reality of magic. However she eventually comes round as she watches as the bond between her sisters grows. While she generally takes the lead, she doesn't find herself competing against Melody who starts growing into the role as the leader.

MEGHAN WARREN (Rachel Hurd Wood) has always dreamed of being doctor and now working as a medical intern, it seems nothing will stop her fulfilling her dream. But the discovery of the family secret worries Meghan and she begins doubt whether she can complete her training while fighting the forces of evil and wonders whether she can ever truly be a good doctor if she is always going to be distracted by "family emergencies". Despite this, her powers grow the quickest and masters her magic quicker than her sisters. Meghan is smart, kind, resourceful but ultimately caring. Close to older sister Maya, the sisters are like more like best friends than sisters! She is a bit hopeless in love and is secretly jealous of Maya's relationship with Sean and both Melody and Mercy's "knack" for picking up guys. Despite Maya being their grandmothers carer in her later life, it was Meghan who was closest to Martha and is devastated when she dies, almost blaming herself for not doing more medically to help save her!

MERCY WARREN (Haley Ramm) is the youngest sibling and boy does she take advantage. Playful, flirtatious and often troublesome, Mercy feels almost lost after finishing college, struggling to work out what direction to take next in life. Mercy is also the most liberal of the sisters, openly exploring and flaunting her sexuality. Becoming a witch gives Mercy purpose and she soon discovers her knack for helping people. But underneath her confident (perhaps almost overconfident) and fiercely independent exterior lies a naive, vulnerable young girl who struggled without the presence of her mother in her life. While magic makes her a little more responsible, she still can't help getting herself into sticky situations and she often becomes an easy target for demons and warlocks. Mercy is thrilled when Melody becomes a more permanent fixture in her life, finding her eldest sister more interesting than the sensible middle sisters. She also has a love/hate relationship with brother Theo.

THEODORE WARREN (Nicholas Brendon) is the sisters eccentric older brother who has known about the family secret his entire life. Too old to have his memory wiped when his mother and grandmother attempted to protect his sisters from the evil knocking on their door, Theo swore to protect and guide his sisters when they eventually came into their powers. Despite his lack of active powers, Theo is an extremely experienced witch who is practically a walking, talking Book of Shadows with a whole heap experience and connections in the magical world. Particularly close to oldest sister Melody, the pair remained in close contact despite his sisters travels around the world but he often clashes with outspoken Maya and rebellious Mercy all of whom (plus Meghan) see him more as a father figure than a brother. Though he has no actual active powers, Theo believes he way have low level telepathy and empathy and he is very good at reading people and often finds himself in tune with the thoughts and feelings of those around him.

SEAN CALLAGHAN (Kirk Acevedo) is a bit of an unknown quantity. Other than being a police detective and Maya's boyfriend, not much is known about him and few ask any real questions but Melody takes an instant dislike to him. We do know he is older than Maya and that he served in a yet unknown war in the US army.

LOL, funny, but while I was looking for the previous quote, I found this one:

Jul 1, 2011 23:24:44 GMT -5 Esmeralda said:

Okay, change that to "full-sisters Charmed Ones". Their bond was always stronger because they were full sisters, not halves. I'd definitely prefer the originals. But if Phoebe died at the end of the Season One and they found Paige at the beginning of Season Two, that would be fine with me. Although that all depends upon who plays the sisters.

But then again, if Paige was still herself, but if Patty had kept her and she was raised with her sisters, then I would prefer Prue, Phoebe and Paige. Knock out Piper and it would truly be a reboot, not just a remake.

It sounds like that's what we *might* be getting, except with Paige as the oldest rather than the youngest, but not themselves and the fact that the Paige character wasn't raised with her half-sisters. Although then you also have this:

Jul 2, 2011 19:07:10 GMT -5 Esmeralda said:

I'd prefer it different. No Andy for Prue. No Leo for Piper. No Cole for Phoebe. No Whoever for Paige. Different. I've already seen Charmed. And seeing the same ideas done by different people wouldn't feel right any more than if they'd had another actress play Prue. I'd want it to be like other remakes/reboots - same names, same ideas, but different. It's part of why I like Nubian Witch's idea, or the idea of the three being guys, so much.

Although I love virtual series where we can see the show done differently, for those it's perfectly AOK to continue to imagine Shannen Doherty as Prue, Holly Marie Combs as Piper, Alyssa Mliano as Phoebe, Rose McGowan as Paige, Brian Krause as Leo, Julian McMahon as Cole, etc. etc., whoever the virtual series writer wants to use. It's the fun of fanfics.

But we all know that were it to be redone in the real world, it would be others playing the roles. And if others played the roles, I'd prefer it to be different, like the differences in the series "Charlie's Angels" and the movie "Charlie's Angels" or the series "Mission: Impossible" and the movies "Mission: Impossible" and, most important of all since I love both so very much, but they're both start off the same but are so very different - the series "The Fugitive" - a show my family watched together every Tuesday night - and the movie "The Fugitive", one of the best movies I've ever seen. Similar characters - Richard, Helen, Lt. Gerard, but, oh, so very, very different!

That's what I'd want for a reboot of Charmed.

Or this:

Jul 3, 2011 11:35:32 GMT -5 Esmeralda said:

Oh, I hope it wouldn't be darker or more serious. That's why I don't like S4 - much too dark and not Charmed. Charmed's humor is a lot of what made it Charmed. If the first season of the reboot was dark and serious, I wouldn't watch.

Yeah, these are all my comments from that thread, but even after 5 years, my reactions are still the same. If anyone wants to look back and find their own comments on a reboot and repost them, go for it!

Although I couldn't find the thread, I remember us discussing the idea that rather than half-whitelighter, the Paige character is half-demon. As always, don't like half ideas, but it would definitely make this one different than the original, and if they're going to include a whitelighter boyfriend, you know we're going to run into half-whitelighters and half-demons. *sigh*

I'll be first to say I'm still not nuts on the ethnicity thing or the lesbian thing or the "throw out the patriarchy" idea IF it's just thrown in there in order to be "fresh and different" from the original, like giving Paige whitelighter-affected powers, something they didn't do with Wyatt and Chris - I'm glad to see that so far that isn't the case with their Paige character. If they're not "shove in your face" things, that would be fantastic, but I wonder...if it's too WOMEN ARE BETTER THAN MEN as I'm afraid it will be and not women and men are equal, I won't like it.

I"m going to go back to the other thread and changed my vote to "I'll sample just the pilot out of curiosity", although if I like the pilot, I'll keep watching.

And that's what I did.

And that's what I did.

What a coincidence that the reboot is using M names like this one here did years ago. Not that they looked here for ideas of course. 

I'm sure Mel is short for Melinda and a nod to Melinda Warren and not short for Melanie or Melissa. 

As for youngest possibly turning into Piper and being a whiner, it wouldn't surprise me. Since this young sister is 18 and barely out of high school it may appear, she might complain that she doesn't get to enjoy a normal college experience, and her sisters got to have a normal one. I hope not.  

Hopefully, any traces of a Piper character or traits of her are left out of this reboot. Having a Prue and Phoebe to bounce off each other, with the eldest being a little more like Paige and the only child, might be a better way of rebooting Charmed, than just adopting Prue, Piper and Phoebe again under different names. 

[Assassin Witch]

It's Charmed. I'll angry watch the pilot and see how it goes.

[rebooted]

Ill be watching with more excitement than the Season 6, 7 and 8 premiers especially if Shannen, Holly, Alyssa, Rose, Brad and Spelling have nothing to do with it.

[Ruth Marie]

I wonder just what theme music or end credit theme they decide to use. I know these days shows don't normally even have proper opening credits, so it will just be a short intro with the show's title. It's just going to be different not seeing the Charmed opening theme we're used to seeing.

Now you got me thinking about the music they might use, especially the opening after the credits with the music and scenery of the city. 

Would be nice to see how Hilltowne, Michigan is shown. But Hilltowe isn't a real town when I looked up, but that might be the college town they created. 

So I hope they show some Michigan scenery, I would like to see it. 

What we might be treated too when they show the city on the reboot (but being a college town might be more small-town feel and less three sisters in the big city like the original show):

I think three sisters in a big city works better than three sisters in a college town or small town.

Honestly, I think it could go either way. I definitely agree that I don't want a college to be the focus of the show, but I think the 'close-knit community' setting could work for Charmed's premise, given that the sisters are desperately trying to keep their powers a secret. A small town setting could perhaps magnify their fear of being exposed. It worked well for Buffy and Ghost Whisperer.

Plus, it will be more believable to see the local cop always lurking around the sisters, as opposed to Darryl, Andy and Sheridan being involved in every single case in San Francisco
