Some of you may remember me talking about that scary documentary Jesus Camp a few months back. Most of the people in this documentary thought Harry Potter books and movies were evil. Kids were not allowed to read the books, nor were adults.
This brought me back to when I was a kid. I don't remember any religious controversy involving one of my favorite shows, Bewitched. To my knowledge, no one said the show was evil or contrary to Biblical teachings.
It's true, the witches and warlocks on Bewitched were always getting into trouble with their spells and what not, but they were still just as much of a witch as Harry.
Where was the uproar? I think Bewitched got ripped off by not being considered controversial.
Anyway, thinking about Bewitched really took me back. One of my favorite episodes was when Tabitha went to What was then called Nursery school. Mrs. Stevens, who by the way was pretty lucky her son Darrin got such a hot wife considering he was not cute at all, made Samantha send her.
To keep her mind off Tabitha, Mrs. Stevens took Sam shopping. She kept popping in and out of the dressing room to check on Tabitha.
To make a long story short, Tabitha turned her friend into a butterfly, because the bitchy teacher made her be the toad at circle time.
Obviously, this episode had a profound effect on my life, because I have oldsheimers and I remember it pretty clearly.
That show was pretty funny considering the premise. And who didn't want to marry Samantha? Even I wanted to marry Samantha, and I'm not a lesbian.
I mean she was adorable, beautiful eyes, a cute little twitchy nose, AND unlike her nerd husband, I would let her do all the magic she wanted.
That's the only problem with both Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeanie, they have these beautiful women, who can literally make magic, but they forbid them to do so? Please!
Sometimes Jeanie got on my nerves and I wanted to pull her pony tail. And as I stated before, I thought the black and white Darrin and the in color Darrin were not attractive enough for Samantha.
This entry was not really about Harry Potter, it was mostly about Bewitched, but I don't need 400 comments telling be that, I already know.
