Eastwick Producer NOT "Furious" After All…
Posted by Mark O. Estes on November 13th, 2009

Call this the Week of Cancellation Hell where emotions run high for both those involved in canceled productions and those who watched the recently axed show. The former would be the case for Eastwick executive producer Maggie Friedman as she recanted her statement of being "furious" about the Eastwick's cancellation while talking to Michael Ausiello, my new idol.

"I misspoke in the worst possible way," Friedman told Ausiello in an email. "The word was 'furious' was poorly chosen by me."

Friedman…

Don't Expect Closure on 'Eastwick' says Producer
Posted by Bryan Jones on November 11th, 2009

Fans of the show Eastwick are already upset about the cancellation of their show, and I hate to make it worse.  Eastwick's executive producer, Maggie Frieman is furious over the cancelation of a show that ABC called a 'quiet success' only a couple of weeks ago, but it appears fans won't get any closure for the series.

The announcement of the cancellation came while they were finishing up the 13th and final episode that ABC has ordered.  This means that…

Will Ugly Betty Move to Wednesdays?  If So, What Does that Mean for LOST?
Posted by Clarissa on November 10th, 2009

Last night we mentioned that ABC was going to pass up on ordering the back-nine episodes of Eastwick, effectively ending its run when the already-filmed episodes have aired. 

The question remains: what happens to Eastwick's 10:00 p.m. spot on Wednesday nights slot?  That's prime TV real estate.  For a number of years LOST has aired on Wednesday nights, at both 9:00 and 10:00.  The season 6 return date is still undecided, but with Eastwick's demise, is a 10:00 spot on Wednesday…

Breaking News: The Craft is Up For "Eastwick" Witches…
Posted by Mark O. Estes on November 10th, 2009

Sniff, sniff, sniff…

Another show has bitten the dust for the 2009-2010 TV season.

According to HitFix.com, "Eastwick" has been canceled effective immediately. ABC opted not to pick up the back nine for the show, which has been finishing last in its Wednesday night time slot, something that I didn't know anything about. According to TV by the Numbers, despite "Eastwick" being called the "least watched show on ABC" or "a ratings failure", it still beat NBC's "The Jay Leno Show" for…

Eastwick 1.07 "Red Ants and Black Widows" Recap
Posted by Mark O. Estes on November 5th, 2009

Eastwick was kind of tame for me this week. I could blame it on the craziness that has been my life for the past couple of days, but I only was interested in one storyline this week and that stroyline involved Kat, Bun, and Eleanor. So let's start with them first.

The Mythology Thickens

Eleanor (guest star Cybil Shepherd) cooks breakfast in her shack when an ad for Eastwick Wines appears on the TV with Darryl in the commercial. He seems to…

Eastwick 1.06 "Bonfires and Betrayals" Recap
Posted by Mark O. Estes on October 29th, 2009

Eastwick brought the goodies last night for it’s Halloween themed episode and I was ecstatic to see the return of Bun and the plot thickening as she shared scenes with Darryl. Oh and the Jamie’s mother mystery went somewhere that I didn’t see coming.

The Witches Field

Roxie leads a tour for the Eastwick Witches Field where townspeople are getting ready for the annual Witch Burning ceremony, which consists of dressing up coffins for the metaphorical demons (debt, ex lovers, bad grades,…

Eastwick 1.05 "Mooning and Crooning" Recap
Posted by Mark O. Estes on October 23rd, 2009

It seems as if the residents of Eastwick got a hold of some Band Candy last night as the full moon engulfed the town in pure, unadulterated ecstasy that had some serious repercussions the morning after.

Legend Has It…

While dining at one of Darryl’s restaurants (he seems to own everything now), the ladies plus Darryl feast and giggle at their problems. A waiter hits on Kat, but she isn’t all that ready to mingle just yet, while Joanna pines after Will,…

Eastwick 1.04 "Fleas and Casseroles" Recap
Posted by Mark O. Estes on October 15th, 2009

We finally got to see some spells being slung in the town of Eastwick last night and some shockers that I swear I did not see coming. The episode picked up nanoseconds after last week’s episode ended, so let’s jump right into it.

Know Your Neighbors

After having another premonition about Jamie (guest star Jack Huston) spying on her at the Lennox Mansion, Roxie awakes to Jamie entering her shop bearing an apple as a gift. Roxie doesn’t take the apple out…

Eastwick 1.03 "Madams and Madames" Recap
Posted by Mark O. Estes on October 8th, 2009

The third time was definitely the charm last night on Eastwick as we got a little deeper into the mythology of the show, relationships were formed and broken, the theme of morality ruled the hour, and we got two DC comic references. In short, last night’s Eastwick was a wickedly spun web of fun.

The women dealt with their issues separately this week so let’s break it down.

The Set Up

Kat tends to a conscious, but not there Bun, who has…

Eastwick 1.02 "Reaping and Sewing" Recap
Posted by Mark O. Estes on October 1st, 2009

Last night, the witches of Eastwick amped up their powers and uncovered more secrets that made the show feel like the earlier days of Desperate Housewives. In short, the episode was bewitching at best.

The night opened with Roxie having another dream about Jamie, the lunatic who she saw trying to kill her in a premonition last week. This time he is burying her alive and Roxie catches a glimpse of a symbol branded on the side of his torso.…

Eastwick 1.01 "Pilot" Recap
Posted by Mark O. Estes on September 26th, 2009

This week, ABC bestowed upon us the bewitching drama Eastwick and its spell easily won me over. But you don’t want to know what I thought. You want a recap. So let’s get to it.

During a town fair that celebrated the history of Eastwick, we met our three heroines: Roxie Torcoleti, a sexy, free spirit who owns her own shop, is dating a young guy named Chad, and has a daughter named Mia; Kat Gordon, a nurse with five…
