Technically speaking within the mythology of the show they were already an interracial marriages. Pretty sure the witches weren’t actually human, it’s hinted often that Samantha’s actually over 100 years old.

How about a reboot of “Cannon”(Ca~non?) with Gabe “Fluffy” Iglesias?
To: butlerweave
And the reboot of “The Greatest American Hero” with a woman playing the lead.

Can you imagine the pilot screening? "Here we have a wonderful new
magical negro story. Samantha, a hardworking black single mom who happens to be a witch, marries Darren, a white mortal who happens to be a bit of a slacker. They struggle to navigate their differences as she discovers that even when a black girl is literally magic, shes still not as powerful as a decently tall white man with a full head of hair in America."
Audience: crickets.

Paul Lynde wasn’t playing himself on TV. Neither was Charles Nelson Reilly. Their on screen presence was both actors copying the mannerisms of one actress, Alice Ghostly.
To: EdnaMode
Sounds like a pair to draw to. So, is the magnum reboot main character light in the loafers? Haven’t and won’t see any of them. At least on purpose.

Replacing white characters with minorities is all the rage but it’d be the end of the world to replace a minority with a white actor.

Will they reboot Gunsmoke? If they did, the Indians would be smarter than the pioneers. How about Father Knows Best? I doubt it, since Fathers aren't living with baby mommas in liberal households. I got it 'My Three Sons' with a gay dad and a gay uncle. Maybe one of the sons could be transgendered.
Hollywood and Democrats - they love to recycle -- old ideas...

Definitely more intense than the original.
If you get a chance, check out the original pilot of the original series.
Dr. Smith (same actor) was played as a serious villain who was trying to destroy the Jupiter 9 with help from the robot. But he very quickly morphed into the buffoon most people remember.

They should really start coming up with original ideas.
To: discostu
She was around during the Salem witch trials. So Samantha was more like 400 or 500 years old at least.
To: MUDDOG
The Lost in Space TV reboot made Dr. Smith a woman. That one didn't bother me. There was nothing in the original character that made it necessary to be male.

Yeah, when I was a kid I watched The Jeffersons and Good Times because they were funny, not because they were socially engineered to meet some demographic standard. These days, the goal seems to reduce whites to at least 25% on commercials, 40% on shows, and make MORE reparations by giving random black people talk shows or game shows. And sometimes 100% minority on “expert panels”.

“They struggle to navigate their differences as she discovers that even when a black girl is literally magic, shes still not as powerful as a decently tall white man with a full head of hair in America.”
The she should twitch her nose and make him 18 inches tall, bald, and green.
Better yet, do that to the folks who have come up with something so amazingly STUPID.

Paul Lynde was a great actor, but I never knew that about him. He didn’t announce it...
