Who wouldn’t want to live on “Morning Glory circle”?
Sam looks incredibly bad in maternity clothes.
Come on, Darren let her twitch up some nice things. A boat, new golf clubs, you got good cars so we won’t go there. And, she could do with a maid. That ain’t no tiny house.
Mrs. Kravitz is just hard to look at. And nosy. Morning Glory circle might not be so good after all.
Who has so many disjointed family members? They cause so many problems. Everyone has a crazy uncle or someone. But 30?
Endora oughta just move in.
Darren needs his own ad agency. Tate is just holding him back. Sam could help him. He’d win every time.
And really, all them old guys with all the cute young ladies? Times have changed.
The back yard looks inviting. The front looks dull.
I like the idea of cleaners delivering stuff and milk on the step. If I got up early enough. I ain’t cooking that nice breakfast every morning. I’d eat it though.
Dick York was a good actor. Dick Sargent I liked in almost nothing. Unconvincing as a husband, what can I say. Personally Liz Montgomery preferred Sargent to York. Agnes Moorehead preferred York. What a weird cast and fates thereof.
He was willing to stay with her after meeting her family. Darren could be a jerk, no question, but he didn’t deserve one-tenth of the shit that Endora, Maurice, Arthur, and Serena did to him.
Hell, he was willing to stay with her even after he realized she was hundreds of years older than he was.
Granted, it would be nice to have the hottest wife on the block when you’re a drooling vegetable in a wheelchair. But the thought of her outliving me by hundreds of years while remaining beautiful would creep me out!
Haven’t you ever wondered how many men Samantha went through before hooking up with Darrin? You can bet he was far from her first and only husband!
The witches and warlocks didn’t like each other that much either. Power corrupts I guess. I guess if you have powers why do you need another person with powers?
Or, they would just have to move from one city to another until an accident or something finally gets Darrin. Like the guy who was more than 1000 years old in that episode of Star Trek.
Something else Darrin probably never considered: How many children did Samantha have before Tabitha? You can bet she left a number of witches and warlocks of various ages in her wake. It would make an interesting story if Darrin found out he was stepdad to a member of Henry VIII’s household (or something like that).
Wait. I’ve seen you say this before, and all this time I thought I disagreed with you. But it turns out I got the names of the two Dicks mixed up. I’ve not seen Sargent in anything else, but I always had trouble buying him as being in love with Samantha. His portrayal of Darren, was too restrained, even he got angry. The only thing I thought he did better were the snarky quips, actually trading back and forth with Endora. (York’s always sounded like a little kid talking back to a parent.) It made sense to me that Darren would get better at those over time.
With Sargent, I bought that Samantha would forgo tradition and her parents’ wishes to go with him.
I agree it would be interesting, but I always got the idea from the show that Darren was her first husband. Sure, she did have some past boyfriends and such, but, as a witch, I don’t think she’d have any unwanted children.
Granted, we don’t know what she was like when she was younger. Has she always been relatively restrained with using magic, and more concerned about how it would affect others? Or was she more like her mother or even cousin?
Because her magic gives her another way to have “children.” We see them transform various things (from animals to drawings) into people.
One thing York was a master of was the exasperated double take, esp. if something weird happened when he was with a Muggle, when he would then desperately try to rationalize it for the other person. Sargent would just stand there and smolder.
In the 60’s / 70’s TV universe, even centuries-old witches were presumed virgins until marriage. Husbands and wives didn’t even sleep in the same beds for a long while, for Pete’s sake!
Remember how upset he got when they gave baby Tabitha a share of stock in Poughkeepsie Woolens, and it jumped in value? He was sure there was some magical monkeyshines going on. Turned out it was just the market being the market.
For me, were I Durwood, I would figure out scientifically how magic works, and learn how to make it accessible to all. Or I would turn witchfinder general and kill them all.
