Worst episode writing yet!

Last Sundays show (22 May) was the worst yet. It was so full of constant philosophical jargon throughout! Watch it again and try to find a single sentence from Cassie that did not have a deep profound message behind it. Nearly every conversation between her and Mike Delphino was loaded with Buddha talk!
And what is the deal with the baby talk??? Brandon finally got that baby pusher of a wife to back off the baby crap and here we have another show between them dedicated to her getting pregnant! Maybe Cassie needs to give her some Profound words of Buddha talk and back her off, she is getting extremely nauseating with her "I want a Baby" its all about me garbage.

And please send that stupid kid off to England and off the show! The writers have no clue as to what to do with him! First he loves his Mom being there and becoming a family again then in only two scenes he wants her to get the hell out and she actually goes on his behalf?? Seriously?

And this jerk of an Anthropologist from Cassie's past gets a job at the nearby town she lives in? Then he gets a grant to leave again? They don't have a clue what to do with his character either!

This was a much better yearly movie than a series. The new writers just don't know what to do anymore they have lost their way. Another proof for that is Cassie's cousin. What happened to her smartazz snooty attitude? She was always so snide to the other characters but it was always for their own good, she was so smart that way! Now she cant seem to be able to figure out how to cut a few flowers? She has been so dumbed down with no witch in her whatsoever? What happened to her witchcraft abilities? the writers took it away.

Enuff for now

I agree that the writing for this show could be better, but I don't think it has entirely lost its original magic. I think with TV you just need to accept that it's not perfect, that it's even questionable. Then enjoy it for what it is, and turn it off when it's over without giving it too much additional thought.

If you really can't stand the show, there are plenty of other shows to watch on Sunday nights.

I still like this show, but thought the writing was better last year. Some thoughts:

-- give Grace some friends at school--some fun, some mean, etc--what is up with her having no one? She grew up in the town and has not one girlfriend to pal around with?

--give the archeologist the heave-ho. He's a one-dimensional character who just keeps sniffing around Cassie. I don't find his story with her very interesting.

--Brandon and Tara don't need to be in every episode--the baby stuff is boring, and how long has she been in college for anyway? Show Brandon at the police station more, I like the police chief but he's hardly been in this season. I don't really like the actress playing Tara--she's a totally different personality than last year.

-Nick needs a better story too, give him some stories at the high school too.

--Need more moments of tension and strife.

You raised very good points.

Tara is so annoying. She embodies all the worst qualities of women. I liked the old Tara better.

Grace is too goodie-two-shoes. She even wore a hair band in one episode. My God she's supposed to be 16, not a child. Her best friends are her mom and Nick.

We don't know anything about Nick except that he has a history of misbehavior and he wants to go to England. Why doesn't he have any friends except for Grace?

No one cares about the archeologist.

I'm guessing that the targeted demographic for this show is middle American retired people which is why everything is so bland. I still think the show has good qualities though.

Dave I agree with you 100%! This show turned into a snooze fest! I'm completely bummed hallmark decided to turn this into a regular tv series. I looked forward to each and every October just to watch a new Good Witch Movie. There's not enough Gray House in the series or grand pa... and I loved the scenes with grandpa and Gwen. The new Tara is dull, boring and whiny, I appreciated the old Tara much better. It's so hard to find good movies these days and that's why I loved watching a new good witch movie each year. The magic is gone!

I love "Good Witch", but "Buddha talk" cracked me up. Great expression! I'll remember it the next time I tease my sister-in-law about the inspirational sayings she has on posters all over her house.
