In the seaside village of Eastwick, three very different women are about to discover some bewitching talents they never knew they had. And once they get together -- watch out -- on "Eastwick," premiering Wednesday, September 23 (10:00-11:00 pm) on the ABC Television Network.

There was a time when Roxanne, Kat and Joanna didn't get along because of their preconceived notions of each other. Roxie was the extrovert artist, Kat the overworked wife and mom, and Joanna the wallflower local reporter. But after a weird encounter in the park and a few martinis, these three women have suddenly become fast friends. Together, they wish for their lives to change. An unknown power within each of them is suddenly unlocked, bringing them together and changing each of their lives. And that's when the mysterious and wealthy Darryl Van Horne arrives in town. He helps them discover their unique powers in ways they never could have imagined. But by igniting their hearts' desires, he might just be opening Pandora's Box.

my take
The cast is hot: Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price and Jamie Ray Newman. I need to know how much this will be like Charmed vs. an adaptation of the Updike novel the 1987 movie was based on. Obviously magic and mythology leave the story ideas wide open, but it really matters if they camp it up or not. It's got a few issues with CBS hurting the lead in and if the all-new ABC Comedy Wednesday falters, there might be no one left to watch. This feels like it could be an early casualty.
