Just before he recently departed ABC Studios to embark on a rich overall deal at Netflix, Black-ish creator Kenya Barris sold one last high-profile project to ABC: Bewitched, a single camera, interracial blended family comedy based on the popular 1960s sitcom of the same name. It took a little while for all the deals to close, but the network has given a pilot production commitment to the new take on the classic supernatural sitcom, from Barris and Black-ish writer/producer Yamara Taylor. The project hails from ABC Studios; Sony Pictures TV, which has the rights to the title; and Sony-based Davis Entertainment (The Blacklist).

BeBitched?

Having a gay replacement dad wasn’t enough?

I’m worried for Uncle Arthur.

The Lost in Space TV reboot made Dr. Smith a woman.

If Whoopi or the former Wookie resident in the White House played Samantha's role they'd have to rename the series Bebitched.

"The Lost in Space TV reboot made Dr. Smith a woman."

They did, but they really managed to capture the petty selfishness and vileness of the character.

Vomit - that was one of my favorite childhood shows and they have to ruin it by racially engineering. Psst: A reboot should be as closely alike the original as possible!

I didn’t much like the original show. This one looks like arrant nonsense ... yet another piece of televised dreck I will not watch.

Will the new Bewitched be like just like the old Bewitched with the nosey neighbor and Darren, Samantha’s gay husband?

Oh joy, virtue signalling.

These nitwits need to stop rebooting everything; why not just make quality content, hmm?
