    Never been shown, probably won’t be.

    so eastwick is not coming to australia???

    Damnit! i was sooooooo excited for it, especially because Darren Criss is in it and i love, love, love, love, Love him! wait, was it already on channel 9 or has it never been on tv in australia before, im confused. does anybody know?

  3. bindi says:

    the advanced guides have channel 9 airing the witches of eastwick movie on saturday 28th november at 11:30pm, might mean nothing but it would be good if it is a precursor to the launch of this show on GO!

    I can’t get any angrier!!! Never fails!! Every time i fall for a show, it’s taken off the air. I feel as if i am being relegated to a life of clandestine television viewing. If the networks don’t know i’m watching….it’ll succeed. Now what am i gonna watch after Glee?

  5. Jack! says:

    Another stupid decision …
    This has been the most enjoyable of all the new season shows and gets better with each episode … it was the new Charmed … the networks have no imagination and never put faith in shows that are different …
    Jack!

    Tad – you hit the nail on the head – Brothers and Sisters has been around 3 years now – it’s time it anchored it’s own night.

  7. Andy says:

    I really looked forward to this series, as I liked the movie with Cher, and I am a big fan of the musical version– saw it twice. But I must admit it is very slow. It seems like they set up a lot of story, and are now dragging it out instead of keeping it moving. Darryl in this version is not as powerful as Jack Nicholson’s version, and not as sleazy as Paul McDernott from the musical. He’s just a businessman. Not very threatening at all.

  8. Dave. says:

    I agree with everyone else. I was just starting to get into this show. Real shame. Highly recommend everyone has a peak when it airs…if at all. You have to grind your way through the first few though, was probably its downfall.

  9. Amir says:

    @Craig – Yeah it’s the town that used to be Stars Hollow in Gilmore Girls! :D

  10. Marco says:

    Craig, it looks like the town set used in Ghost Whisperer but I can’t be sure.

  11. Craig says:

    I like Eastwick (doesn’t the town look familiar?) pity it will end soon, hope we get an an ending. Guess GO! will air it at some point…

    BTW don’t forgot Matt Dallas (aka Kyle XY) is also on the show.

  12. bindi says:

    hope to see it on GO!, still haven’t seen new amsterdam on GO! yet either, any ideas what will be taking moonlights’ place in a few weeks? either of these would be good.

  13. bill says:

    My wife loves Eastwick, so I dont know how I am going to tell her this, she has been cranky enough lately

  14. Tad says:

    ABC needs to move Brothers & Sisters and give some of these shows a go after Desperate Housewives. Otherwise there’s no point. They’re guaranteed to fail.

  15. Marco says:

    Sad, i was really enjoying Eastwick and it was picking up steam.

  16. Amir says:

    My guess is Eastwick on GO! and The Forgotten on Nine sometime next year…
