The CW will redo Powerpuff's pilot after the original came in as "too campy"

TVLine

“Sometimes things miss, and this was just a miss,” The CW chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz said of the live-action Powerpuff Girls reboot. He added that the pilot felt "too campy" and "didn’t feel as rooted in reality as it might have." Pedowitz added: “We believe in the cast completely, we believe in Diablo (Cody) and Heather (Regnier), the writers, and we believe in the auspices of (executive producer) Greg Berlanti and Warner (Bros.) Studios. In this case, the pilot didn’t work. But because we see enough elements in there, we’re going to give it another shot. We didn’t want to go forward with what we had.”
