Bewitched Season 1

Chris:L · 04-07-2004, 01:48 PM

You know what? I like how they're releasing the first season of Bewitched when the movie comes out. Because when I read the script review.. I expected something different. Turns out.. it has nothing to DO WITH THE TV SHOW WHATSOEVER!!! And for that reason I am incensed... so why release a tv show onto DVD when the movie with the same name, yet everything is different about it. It would be like releasing the song Love Is All Around by "Wet Wet Wet" with the first season of MTM on DVD...

I am hating the idea of that script too...I think that script is just a rejected one that got leaked out and that they will end up doing something better....I hope.......I find it hard to believe that Nicole Kidman would agree to that type of script for a Bewitched movie.

BTW, for those of you wanting to read a review of the script it can be read at FilmJerk.com

SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!!! It better be a rejected script... Because they decided to start filming this summer. And if it isn't a rejected script... I have no hope for anything tha comes out of Hollywood ever again.

So is this thread about the first season on DVD....or the script for the movie?

Maybe a better title for this thread should've been "What's the point of releasing Bewitched s.1 if the movie isn't even going to resemble the original show based on a script review?"

About the DVDs though, regardless if this script is used, I just want those DVDS!!!

I like the idea of the new script.

Doing a simple retread of the TV series is a bad idea anyway. Anyone remember the movie version of "The Beverly Hillbillies"? Didn't think so.

Since no one can take the place of Elizabeth Montgomery anyway, this might be the way to go.

It's to the point where I hope for movie versions--good or bad--of shows I love just so studios have an excuse to release the discs. Universal should slap together a crappy new Leave It to Beaver and give it a big marketing push. Paramount should do the same for the Brady Bunch.

I remember the movie of Beverly Hillbillies... and I liked it. I am not however liking the idea of the movie. Which, I was hoping, was going to be splendid. The point I was trying to make was, "since the movie has no relationship to the show except that the share the same title, why not just release Season One sooner?"

The same goes for the Munsters...

It does sound like an unwritten law.
