I agree, probably won't get past pilot or few episodes. I now also have a sick headache thinking through these details, someone please zap the network. New Wonder Woman and Bionic Woman didn't get very far, both also "reinvention"; clearly reinvention doesn't work, so why keep doing that. Good that new Dallas kept the original formula, at least they got three seasons. Bewitched CAN be done again, if they would just listen to the fans, and follow the formula; if it's not broken, don't fix. Nobody will EVER replace beloved Elizabeth, and nobody can EVER do Samantha better. But they can at least use the original formula, giving it the respect it deserves. Somebody mentioned classic TV period in which Bewitched was filmed, people dressed up for dinner parties, etc. I agree, that context is hard to re-create. However, like Mad Men which is very successful, it could be period based, picking up after the last 8th season episode at 1164 Morning Glory Circle. Also, why don't they bring on Elizabeth's daughter, Rebecca Asher, she's a script supervisor on other TV shows.
