As the seasons march toward Fall, many begin to lapse into the doldrums, since the excitement of exotic getaways is set aside. Perhaps a bit of magic will perk them up, or as with this new film, a whole lot of magic. Well, one of its two central characters is a magical creature of myth, one that’s not unfamiliar to the movie audiences though really a touchstone of the fantasy sitcom “fad” of the 1960s. Now that really began in the “stars” with Ray Walston’s “Uncle Martin” Aka “My Favorite Martian”, followed by Elizabeth Montgomery’s spellcasting Samantha Stevens in “Bewitched”. And then there was Jeannie,...

A review of this week’s WandaVision coming up just as soon as I tell you a story about my temp job…
(With apologies to Sherwood Schwartz and Frank De Vol…)
Here’s the story
of a lovely lady
who was hexing up a very lovely life.
She had bought a nice new house
in the suburbs
where she’d be Vision’s wife.
Here’s the story
of a man named Vision
who died so Thanos could take the Mind Stone.
He’s alive now,
working in an office,...

Welcome to Rolling Stone‘s weekly coverage of Disney+’s WandaVision. I reviewed the series yesterday, and have specific, spoiler-filled thoughts on the first two episodes, coming up just as we decide if gum is food…
After that review published, several readers asked how much knowledge they needed of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to follow this show. Knowledge of, and affection for, Nick at Nite, I told them, would probably be way more valuable than remembering which side Wanda and Vision were on in Captain America: Civil War.
Yes, Elizabeth Olsen...

Well, we all knew this was only a matter of time: ABC is dusting off 1960s TV classic Bewitched for a modern-day reboot, Deadline reports. The decision follows a long line of other reboots and revivals that have been announced (and aired) over the last two years, including NBC's Will and Grace, The CW's Charmed, and the ill-advised 11th season of Roseanne on ABC. It seems the latter network is attempting to make up for the highly publicized cancellation of Roseanne Barr's sitcom with the news that it's going to have Samantha Stevens wiggling her nose once more.
As much as we're not down with the idea of ABC tarnishing the beloved 1960s series (Didn't Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell's movie adaptation do that enough?!), we can't deny that the creative forces behind the reboot are pretty perfect. Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and Yamara Taylor, who...

TV Reboots aren't going anywhere. Last season saw the re-arrival of Will & Grace and Roseanne, while this year's new addition is Last Man Standing. But then there are the true reboots (taking show concepts and bringing them back with updated premises and new casts), like Hawaii 5-0, MacGyver, and S.W.A.T., and this year's Magnum, P.I. and Charmed. Now comes word that one of the most beloved sitcoms from the 1960s — and one that is still enjoying life in reruns — is being given another shot at life, Bewitched. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) The premise of the show is that on her wedding night, Samantha Stevens (Elizabeth Montgomery) reveals to her new husband, Darrin (Dick York), that she is, in fact a witch. Initially feeling betrayed, Darrin ultimately realizes that he loves her deeply and they try to settle down into a normal domestic life. Fat chance! From 1964-72, Samantha promised not to use witchcraft,...
