Eastwick: Difference between revisions

 

The show has been compared to both ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'' and ''[[Sex and The City]]'' with magic. The series was canceled due to poor ratings, leaving several episodes unaired on the network (although in Britain the entire series was run by the Hallmark Channel... and again when they became the Universal Channel).

 

* [[Absentee Actor]]: Like ''[[Charmed (TV)|Charmed]]'' and ''[[Heroes (TV)|Heroes]]'', ''Eastwick'' only lists the cast members actually appearing in that particular episode instead of having a standard cast list, and like ''Heroes'' (and Ashley Benson's<ref>she plays Rebecca Romijn's daughter</ref> next series ''[[Pretty Little Liars]]''), they're listed in alphabetical order - with the exception of [[Due South|Paul Gross]] (Daryl) who due to his "and" billing is always listed last.

* [[Blonde Brunette Redhead]]

* [[Body Horror]]: When Eleanor does acupuncture on Bun, ''millions of red ants come pouring out of her body.'' [[HSQ|Holy shit.]]

* [[Buried Alive]]: The fate of {{spoiler|Jamie.}}

* [[Creepy Child]]: Gene, Colin's son...{{spoiler|except it's not really him, it's an evil presence of some sort controlling his body.}}

* [[Handsome Lech]]: Daryl, to the endth degree.

* [[Healing Hands]]: One of Kat's powers.

** And [[Boardwalk Empire|Richard Harrow]] is Roxie's neighbor and has an undamaged--and very attractive--face, but he might also be a murderer.

* [[Hot Librarian]]: Joanna.

* [[Rape As Drama]]: In an early episode, Roxie's daughter, Mia, is nearly raped by her boyfriend. Fortunately Roxie and Daryl arrive [[Just in Time]] to save her.

* [[Screwed By the Network]]: Not only was it canceled after thirteen episodes, to the chagrin of many fans, but the tenth episode was never aired, leading a number of continuity errors and confusion amongst viewers--{{spoiler|how the girls dispatched Jamie, for one thing, was unclear.}}

* [[Telepathy]]: One of Roxie's powers, including [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone|dreams]]

* [[Unfortunate Names]]: The local bar is called '''The Greasy Stool'''. That and the Rhode Island setting may well lead many to wonder if [[Seth Macfarlane|Seth MacFarlane]] is moonlighting for ABC.
