I am really, really disappointed that Eastwicke has been cancelled. I watched it every week and looked forward to the next. I liked it as much as The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural or Criminal Minds. I think you`re making a big mistake. Look how long Charmed ran, and Eastwicke is just as good or better.(Of course Riches was cancelled and I didnt understand that either, whoever their creator was)Susan.

I really liked the show Eastwick too. One of the few shows I looked forward to seeing every week.

I dont watch to many shows on a regular basis, but, Eastwick was one of them. Maybe if they put it on an earlier time slot it would get better ratings. It really is a good show. I hate to see if off the air so soon.

I can’t believe another one of my favorite shows has been cancelled (Eastwick). I don’t think those tv exects give these shows a chance to catch on. pretty soon there won’t be anything on regular tv that I care to watch.
