Is that going to be a separate movie or just a 2 hour premiere of the series?

I hope they strengthen the material a bit.

Wish list for next season:

1.I hope they have more episodes the next season.

2.give Cassie's daughter more friends instead of that sad sack of a guy friend. She seems sort of aloof with no friends besides him

3. Have a guest star or something like that each week--the guy and his granddaughter was a good second story.

True though other guy isn't her "friend" yet though we got hints he might be.

I think we should generally see more "witchy" behavior in general. Early on, Grace showed signs of the Cassie magic/insight but then nothing. A newcomer would wonder about the title. Also, the show needs to be tightened up & livened in general. The show drags from one commercial to another imho.

A two hour special with such qualities will be pretty hard to keep interest in. I'll be switching over to Star Trek reruns or something.

Which sad sack? Both of the boys seem to be equally pathetic.


The one who isn't the doctor's son. He seems to be too eager to sabotage any other potential friendhships and is very negative in general. Also, she really needs some fun girlfriends not have any friends besides the one guy?

I don't understand what magic qualities either Mother or daughter is supposed to possess other than annoyingly predicting arrivals of people into their prescense

Yes. A bit weak. In the first episode or two, there Grace seemed to have a certain insight about things -- such as feeling a special connection to the doctor's son and predict things connected to him, but this seems largely to have disappeared.

Just what sort of "witch" we are supposed to be dealing with here has always been somewhat hazy. There were winks in the first movie about it that seemed to sorta suggest something, but it seemed Cassie was really using talismans to give people confidence to do what they didn't previously have the courage to do. Or, she had a sense of calm assurance and comfort with people that she seemed "witchy" but didn't really act like you know Samantha or Sabrina with actual magic powers. The word "coy" comes to mind.

But, maybe, that is what real witches have done over the years in some fashion.

The whole premise of the series is based around the "is she or isn't she" question. Is it magic or not? There is always an explanation (even if it's just intuition) for the events that happen. Those expecting Cassie to start twitching her nose and having things appear and disappear are going to be eternally frustrated, I think.

There has been some recent "witchy" stuff from Grace. She knew she had to be with Brandon, because she sensed that he was going to be in danger (the car accident). But I think that's the most were ever going to get in that regard.

reply

Yes, they are not that sort of witch, but the show needs to toss in a few more coy hints even on that level. I think basically it is a matter of them having a special "sixth sense" about things, an attitude & for Cassie the use of talismans. Wiccans, for example, are often about having a special connection to nature or something. It's not their fault we have stereotypes.

I'm sure Catherine would love to hear any feedback! She is pretty good on her twitter account @reallycb

It's getting to be too much like Bewitched without the nose wiggling. Too much paranormal monkey shines. In the movies there was even broom flying suggested. And they can't predict everything that happens before people walk in the door before someone accuses her of paranormal powers. I for one, would call in the Zak from the Ghost Adventures travel channel to investigate Cassie.

reply

The cousin Abigail shows more "magic qualities" than both Cassie and Grace; I love the movies and I really love the show, I hope eventually Grace shows more signs and she shares it w/her mother Cassie, who I think is a witch she just doesn't "exploit" it. Yeah Cassie has helped many people and has that intuition that something is coming there way and Grace shares that same quality. I am glad its renewed and we will have a 2 hour movie (well part of the television show), maybe the writers are developing a way to show that Cassie and Grace are "different", but I could understand Cassie being worried if Grace "accidentally" shows "too much witch power" in public, it would really make people start questioning and they would become too exposed.

Good points.

good thing the movie is coming then since the series is due back in '16

reply

Does anyone have any 411 on the new movie - or the new season?? Love Love Love Catherine Bell, but her character in the series seems much more bland than the movies - we need more "magic" if the series is going to be called "Good WITCH"!!!!

reply

Her interpersonal relationships are the real magic. Just an observation.

I think the series is less about magic and more about an ongoing learning experience.

The only real critical remark I have about Catherine Bell is her willingness to appear on Howard Stern. Why do respectable people find Stern to be entertaining? His audience would never watch a Catherine Bell project anyway.

I just wish that they'd give us movies 6-7 here in Canada, never mind this new movie

I went to the Hallmark website and there is nothing yet. Considering they do promos for every one of their original series shows on every commercial, maybe something will be known in the fall.
