Yes, that's the place! Thanks, Paul! I suppose that is a purple martin house at the peak of the roof? It certainly does look like a stage set!

I suppose what you're calling a picture window is what I'm calling the patio doors (it appears I was mistaken in my memory about them being sliding doors, because there are doorknobs clearly visible in the picture Paul posted). But where I grew up we did not call them "picture windows." What we calld a "picture window" was what was in my grandparents' living room, one huge window, not something you could open and walk through, that took up darn near an entire wall. The set of double windows to the right of the door are too small to be considered picture windows. I hate to resort to a dictionary in a discussion, but Webster's defines a picture window as "an outsize usu. single-paned window."
The bay window on the ground floor is not Darrin and Samantha's bedroom. Their bedroom was upstairs. And those windows in the roof are called dormers. Based on the interior set, that first-floor bay window would have been in Darrin's den.

x-man, would you like me to split off this tangential discussion from your original topic? I'm sorry we got off track and look forward to more discussion of the BBM phenomenon.

Your idea to split the above several postings off to form their own site (That is what you meant, isn't it?) is an interesting one. I had thought the first few postings about Bewitched were a gentle, ironic response to my dismissing Bewitched and suggesting that no more gay men than anyone else liked it, but then I saw that it grew. I am, of course, horrified. :) But splitting would reestablish the site to its original intent--reactions to the BBM phenomenon. Oh, and please don't think of it as my site; I just did a few postings here, not at all intending to take it over.
