Premise: Cute female tries to fit in despite her supernatural powers. Drama and hilarity ensue.

Hey, I have an idea! Let's call it by another name! That way, no one will know that it's just another reboot!

How about "Sabrina" or "Buffy" or even "Ghost Whisperer"?

:roll:

Mellenials won’t watch because the have no relationship with the show. Some boomers will watch out of nostolgic curiosity then leave quickly when they realize it is not as good because. 1. It is not as good as the original 2. Even if it is pretty good it is not 1967 and they are not a child anymore.

There are a few exceptions but the above is the general idea of what usually happens with these reboots.

Besides, where are you going to find an ensemble cast that doesn't mind acting foolish among the current population of Gen-Xers and Millenials?

The japaneses did their own Bewitched inspired anime before any of those show.
