Just to clarify for the couple of individuals who felt compelled to point out what an awful series Witchblade turned out to be (relative to the comic's success) and what a disappointment it was for Yancy Butler, some clarification is in order: While the production team was doing this show no favors whatsoever, and I'm inclined to agree that a complete overhaul of the scripting was in order, the show's troubles started from day one with Butler's advanced alcoholism. In fact, the show's cancellation had more to do with the difficulties attending work with her than it did with the troubled reception of the show itself.
And certainly the sag in her career that followed had much more to do with a well-deserved repute over her conduct than it did the show.
Make no mistake: this show was horrid. But Yancy Butler is no victim.
