It's one thing to change a character's demographic and have a passing awareness of how they might be treated differently.

Skye Reynolds 08/24/18 11:31:44 PM #65:	Neither would I. I think I'd be more likely to watch the show with a white male / black female couple than if they'd both been white. But when your pitch is "she's magic, but not as powerful as Whitey," that's a pretty poor use of a preexisting character. It's not as bad as sticking her in a Will Ferrel movie, but not much better either. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:907502074] in BEWITCHED ... [t:76934530]...</cite> <quote>Neither would I.
