As discussed, I've split off the discussion about the Bewitched TV show from the original topic about the BBM phenomenon. I just wriggled my nose!

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). ...

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.

I should take back what I said about picture windows. I must have been thinking about another show. But how could Mrs. Kravitz have gleaned so much information from looking in the two small front windows? She must have been looking over the back fence and in the patio doors.

So Darrin gets that nice bay window for his den? I suppose Samantha didn't have a den of her own. She would have had to be content with the kitchen, which probably didn't have a window at all!

This is the Bewitched statue in Salem, Massachusetts, which is Witch Central, especially this time of year.

Back in the day, I believe the only show that had as much (if not more) class than Bewitched was "The Wild, Wild West."  Now that I'm older I'm noticing things about Bewitched that eluded me when I watched as a kid: Samantha's parents (and other relatives) played by distinguished actors, the lovely home, Sam's Louis Vuitton bags..the list goes on.

Awesome, indeed!

Now we need a picture of the Barbie doll dressed up like the cartoon Samantha from the show's opening title (I almost bought one of those a few years ago.  ::) )

Where did Endora and Maurice and Uncle Arthur and Cousin Serena and dear, dear Aunt Clara (and her doorknob collection!) live, anyway?

A few months ago, when I was watching episodes on Me-TV, I was shocked to realize what an anti-witchcraft chauvinist Darrin was, actually ordering Sam not to use witchcraft, using the verb forbid.  >:(

Endora was right about him all along, and Sam should have turned him into a toad and moved on. ...

She never really listed to him anyway.  She was always using her powers.  LOL


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!
