Yeah, his just out and out ordering not to use witchcraft (except in emergencies) bothered me even as a small child. I thought not wanting his life dominated or taken over by witchcraft was reasonable, but not simply giving orders. I always thought they should have negotiated a set of rules for her use of witchcraft - one that would have let Samantha express herself, and not get stuck with a bunch of boring chores Darin did not have to do. With some rules for Darin too, like not being so quick to be rude to Endora.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmmm... the theme song to Green Acres bugged me more as a child. You know, where they argue about where to live, and the guy says, "You are my wife" and the woman says, "Goodbye city life!"
I did occasionally wonder, "Why can't she use her powers?" though....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
but she used her powers every show, so it never really bothered me.
Green Acres horrified me, as I was living in the country dreaming of NYC.

Heh. Me too. Except it was Chicago and San Francisco in my case, as I hadn't been to NYC yet.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
ditto Green Acres bugging. I was also very annoyed by both Darrin and Endora and I had a major pre-teen crush on Samantha. I remember hating Serena when I was little but later on she made me quite excited.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah that whole "no witchcraft" shit that Darrin pulled was bad news. I had forgotten that! I loved the ep where they were locked in the house because of magic buildup and after that she had to use magic every day.
If my spouse had magical powers, he would be using his DAILY.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
BTW, that is one of the many reasons why I love the Internet.
