Of course, it turned out that Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) wasn't a witch at all, just a girl from Kansas unfortunately transplanted to Oz. Sometimes, though, the new girl in town really is a witch, as Hallmark viewers found out in 2008's TV movie "The Good Witch." Well, after six popular sequels, the specialty channel is finally turning "The Good Witch" into its own TV show. "Good Witch" begins enchanting audiences with a special two-hour series premiere Saturday, Feb. 28, on Hallmark Channel. Fans of the seven "Good Witch" movies — and there are lots of them out there — will be overjoyed to know that Catherine Bell ("JAG," "Bruce Almighty," 2003) will be returning to the lead role of Cassie Nightingale that she's played through all seven movies. Nightingale is, as the title suggests, a pure-hearted witch who's just trying to live her life the same as the less magi- cally inclined people of her small town. This good witch is also a loving mom, and her daughter Grace, who was an infant in some of the films, is played by up-and-comer Bailee Madison ("The Fosters," "Trophy Wife"). Also joining the cast as the mom-and-daughter duo's new neighbor is James Denton ("Desperate Housewives"). A doctor and divorced single dad, he'll be in for a shock when he 'Good Witch' movie series transforms into a show finds out that the house next door is the home of a couple of "enchanting" ladies. Rounding out the cast are some favorites from the films: Catherine Disher ("The Border"), Peter MacNeill ("A History of Violence," 2005), Noah Cappe ("Bitten") and Hannah Endicott- Douglas ("Casino Jack," 2010). All these familiar characters and returning favorites may be intimidating for a newcomer to the "Good Witch" franchise, but the premiering of a new show is the perfect time to hop on board. Hallmark's "Good Witch" launch- es with a special, two-hour series premiere Saturday, Feb. 28 — bad witches need not apply. Superhero(ine): CBS has found its hero — superhero, that is. With comic book superhero shows all over the major net- works these days, CBS is finally climbing aboard that bandwag- on. Their chosen hero: Supergirl. To fill the role of the better- known Superman's cousin, it has cast "Glee" alumna Melissa Benoist, who played New Directions member Marley Rose. The actress has also starred in the critically acclaimed 2014 film "Whiplash." Also announced is Mehcad Brooks ("True Blood," "Necessary Roughness") as photographer James Olsen. Although less well known than Superman, Supergirl is an established comic book char- acter with her own rich history. In a male-dominated genre, it appears that CBS may have wanted to stand out from the pack with a woman superhero. "She's a very strong, indepen- dent young woman and she's coming into her own," said CBS Entertainment chairman Nina Tassler about the project at the winter TV press tour. "She's dealing with family issues, she's dealing with work issues. It's a female empowerment story." Watch for CBS's "Supergirl" to hit TV screens in a big way during the 2015 fall television season.
