What would you do? Hypothetical...
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.

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.

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.

If it's crap like Charmed, then no.
