If CC got a TV series and it was a brand new show, of course you'd all tune in to see it and support it, what if the unthinkable happened and you didn't like it? Would you give it a few more chances to improve? And if you did and found you still didn't like it, then what would you do? Would you continue watching even though you didn't like it just to support CC? Or would you turn it off and wish CC the best?

I've been thinking about this. I want to see CC do well, but if she got a show and I didn't like it I wouldn't watch it. And I just wondered what some more devoted CC fans would do in that situation. I know quite a few people didn't watch her Charmed appearances because they don't like that show.

I hope if she gets a show it won't be crappy, but even though I love CC, if the show is crap after 4 episodes, I just won't have the time or energy to invest in it.

I'd watch Charisma watch paint dry on a wall. Nothing she would do would make me not want to watch it. She can take crap and turn into gold. Did you not see her Charmed appearences?

Honestly? If CC was good in it, and I liked her character, I'd watch even if the rest of the show was crap. I've always been the type to get hooked on shows based on characters - right now I run home every Monday night to make sure I watch Stargate Atlantis, and while I think it's a decent show, that's not what makes it must-see, can't-miss, rewatch eps multiple times television for me. It's just that David Hewlett as Dr. McKay is my new "Cordy", if you will - I absolutely love the character, and that's enough for me. So as long as CC had a substantial role and I liked her character, I'd tune in to support her. My problem with her earlier "Charmed" appearances was not so much that I found the episodes painful (because I did), but that 2 15 second cameos wasn't enough to justify my watching the show - I didn't like the 3 eps of "Charmed" that I did watch, but I would have watched the entire season if her character had been a regular with significant screen time.

I'd watch it. Even if the show was 30 minutes of her knitting a sweater.

I'd still watch. Actually, I would tape it, and then fast forward all the boring parts.

I'm with Platy. It's the character that draws me in not, the show (in most cases). I know for a fact that I'm not watching Monk without Sherona, I will continue to watch TTW with Santos as POTUS because I love the characters and I would have (more than likely) dropped out of CSI if Nick and Sara were gone.

So if I found the character engaging even if I thought the show was mediocre I'd still tune in, it wouldn't be Must See TV but I'd watch it.

I'd watch it, and hope that it would get better. Though, realistically with CC involved, I couldn't see myself not liking it.

I don't really liked Charmed either, but I watched the three episodes that she appeared in because I enjoy her work.

I watched Friends through thick and thin 'cause I liked the characters, so as long as there were some good ones on CC's show, I could watch.

i'd watch for her and tape it. i watched "charmed", "the division", "miss match" and taped s4 of "angel" after ickfest,and i would never have watched any of these had she not been on them.

If I didnt like whatever her new show was I would tivo it and just fast forward it till her parts. Its what I did for most of the end of Angel.

I am open to give any tvshow a shot. The trouble I had with Angel was that I knew they were destroying the older characters. I knew that Cordy wouldnt ever do this or that.

Same here. I've always watched a show based on whether I see potential in a character and if they deliver what they're supposed to.

But...for CC I'd watch the show even if it weren't that good or crap, mainly for the reason that CC's in it.

Things are different for Charisma than with just about everything else in my viewing habits. I feel I've (we've) invested so much in wishing her well that it would be nigh on impossible not to watch. I think my first fan line I ever wrote over on CC.com was something like 'I'd watch her read from the phonebook Weds. 9-10 because it would be more interesting than what was on the WB at that time. . .'

If it's crap like Charmed, then no.

:lol:

I don't care who's in a show, if it's crap, it's crap, and I wouldn't watch it either.

Charmed didnt used to be so bad. Seasons 1-3 were good. Some of 4 was ok as well. But it got too into the theme eps. It became a "What wierd thing can we make the girls dress as (in leather) this time?"

They are killing their own methos because everything has been explained. Like the greek gods, the source of many spells that are cast on Buffy is told as just mortals with a bit of power for a time that went mad after killing the titans.

There is tons of stories that you can get from greek methos, but they shot it down. Its like when Spike said Drac was a ponce who owed him money. Drac should have been this big bad ass, not the joke he was on Buffy.

Charmed has been getting back to season long story arc's now.

Nope. I love Matt LeBlanc on Friends, yet I couldn't sit through Joey after about six episodes of the same crap.

I just hope she gets a good show.

I had never really watched Charmed or LAX before I heard CC was going to appear on both. Most of What I knew about them I had pieced together from episode descriptions in the paper, or, comments in online forums (a number of which were not exactly of the highest praise). However, since I knew she was only going to be a quest, I decided to watch them all just for the heck of it and fairly enjoyed them.

If CC manages to land a role on a series that actually goes into production, I'll at least give it a few shots for her sake. After that, if I'm not really entertained, I'll call it quits. Still give her and the rest of the cast and crew my best though.

Pretty much I would watch if her character was even halfway decent, and knowing CC, it probably would be. I mean, AtS S4 was total crap, and I watched that for CC. So yes, even if I didn't like the show, I would still watch it because Charisma would find a way to make her character good. :)

I'd force myself to watch it because she'd be on screen and shes so lovely..

she should go onto gilmore girls and be luke's love interest after she steals him away from lorelie. I think she'd be a good fit on that show, cause she could probably keep up with their quick and snappy dialouge

Even if the show was crap, I highly doubt Charisma would be. So yeah, I'd watch it. Sad truth is - it's called an addiction. ;)
