Front-Ranger. Do gay men love I Love Lucy, The Wizard of Oz, Bewitched? I don't, or haven't since I was a child. And even as a kid I only watched half an episode of Bewitched before dismissing it as silly tripe.

So, yesterday I received a photo on my phone of Samantha Stevens's house from EDelMar!

How nice for you! That was my ideal house when I was a kid, and it still might be. I just wouldn't want to live there by myself.
(The house once "guest starred" as the home of Dr. and Mrs. Bellows on an episode of I Dream of Jeannie. ;D )

I really don't know what's so special about that house! All I remember is Darrin and the nosy neighbors peeking through the picture windows. Those picture windows were a 1950s suburbia phenomenon. What did the architects think they were picturing? A view of the street and the house across the street (and its picture window) or a picture of the people in the living room? It's all too Ice Storm-y for me to contemplate. And that brings us back full circle to BBM and the blue parka that Jack lost in the ice storm in Texas (ice storm in Texas?)

It's a classic style. I don't remember picture windows in the living room. There were sliding patio doors/windows into the backyard, but I believe the windows in the front, into which Mrs. Kravitz was always trying to peek, were a pair of double-hung sash windows.
I have a picture of the house, with Samantha and Endora standing on the porch (there is a "For Sale" sign, so it must be from the early first-season episode where Sam found the house). But I can't post it.

Jeff, there's a picture window in the living room and another window...a bay window, in front. I assume that's in their bedroom. If I can figure out how to get EDelMar's picture from my phone to my computer, I'll show you! (Yes, I know I just need to turn on my Bluetooth)
I wonder what the closets looked like and whether Darrin spent a lot of time there???
So, I've highjacked x-man's topic long enough...but I just want to add two more things. I think I told you all about going to see The Wizard of Oz in 3-D with my favorite scarecrow recently. And it made me smile to remember when EDelMar and I recreated Lucy's famous trip on the Staten Island Ferry with William Frawley. I needed a smile today!
