Is this the one with the talking cat?

You sure, because Putin really like em'

Fun fact: Russians like having tigers as pets.
Also: Salem the cat was actually a warlock who was sentenced to live as a cat for a long time for trying to take over the world.

No that was Sabrina the Teenage Witch. This thread is really mixed up.

Oh, because I was gonna say Putin loves those cats, man

Melissa Joan Heart.

She became a big Jesus freak and has 3 kids and a husband.

She opened up a candy store in California and then it got sued for racial discrimination (and unfair labor practices/wage theft)and closed down. Then she did the movie "God's Not Dead" & "God's Not Dead 2" then she opened up a fashion line in 2016. She said she was voting for Romney but couldn't vote for Trump because he wasn't the "Christian Choice"

Well she was in Sabrina the teenage witch and was never married in the show. Bewitched with Elizabeth Montgomery was her getting married to Darrin Stevens, ad exec. But your assessment is correct for Elizabeth Montgomery

AH yeah that was a long time ago.

After thinking about this, i realize that this movie gave me two things, a fascination with paganism, and a thing for redheads.

No. This show was from the 1960s.

Interesting thought. Reminds me of the Greek pantheon, really...

When we look at Homeric poetry or Greek mythology, we see that the gods are capricious and essentially human, particularly in their flaws of character (best shown in Zeus's lust and Hera's jealousy), and also the way in which they favor certain mortals over others. There are also numerous examples of the gods scheming against each other through the lives of the mortals. The appeal to individuals within the choir of existing extra-dimensional beings is also a narrative in just about every religion, cult, and mythology.

The observation that she married an astronaut never really struck me. She seems to have super powers for sure, but what if this is not because she is extra-terrestrial, but a glorified MK-ULTRA kitten? Being married to a man who is gone for months at a time, in space? Being an Apollo doubter, I have my own crazy ideas about this. Besides that, Elizabeth Berkeley was probably my first TV crush, turn't up nose and all... In this sense, the plot doesn't necessarily prepare the public to accept all-powerful beings, as much as it says "marry a military man, practice magic, and have the world on a string." Referring back to the practices of Crowley (and somewhat of Dee), we know how the "initiated" do "magick".

Just my $.02... Commence the downvotes! :)

fits right in with my theory about astronauts... wow! Do you think it's worth re-watching any episodes?

It's not very well written, yet it's still more palatable than the crap cranked out as sitcoms for the last 15+yrs and it does have its moments that are genuinely funny. Other people did see her do things, though, so the whole MK Ultra idea doesn't fit.

Nope. On Bewitched, the very nosy neighbor Gladys Kravitz, was always watching Sam, so she saw all kinds of shit go down, but her husband never believed her (she took a lot of sedatives because it stressed her out so much that no one else ever validated what she said she saw). Sam's mom and cousin also took great pleasure in doing things to fuck with her and they gave zero fucks who saw anything, so randoms would often see them popping in/out of places, etc.

On Jeannie, Major Nelson's BFF and astronaut co-pilot (they were stranded together on the island when he found the bottle w Jeannie), so he was aware of everything she could do as he was a constant presence. The other cats they worked with at NASA were always left wondering wtf happened when hijinks was taking place.

Who is Elizabeth Berkeley? The witch was Elizabeth Montgomery who was Samantha Steven's, witch, married to ad exec. Barbara Edens was Jeanie, a genie, who was found by an astronaut on a beach...

Totally got the name confused... It was Montgomery... I don't remember the name of the Jeannie lady (who would have been the right one for our discussion).

Elizabeth Berkeley is Jessie from Saved By the Bell. Her career was killed by the movie Showgirls.

Elizabeth berkeley was jessie "I'm so excited" spano.

Well, Darrin wasn't an astronaut. He was in advertising. The astronaut was in "I Dream of Jeannie". Now, "I Dream of Jeannie" is a good one to study too!

But let's talk about Bewitched. Perhaps she was a witch and this fun little t.v. show was getting us used to Satanism?

And it portrayed witches as sexy and good looking, something that had never been done before. All under the guise of a cute little sitcom.

YES! It was right around the same time!

Darrin DEFINITELY objected to the use of magic and even moreso with Tabitha.

He objected even when others weren't present except on certain occasions when they were in a jam (usually caused by magic)

It's hard to know where it was going. I think I dream of Jeannie was the person you were originally thinking about which I never watched much of.

I'm not sure. We'd have to see where it goes.

Not only did her husband not like the whole witchcraft/magic thing, she agreed to be a "normal" housewife when they got married, so they'd regularly show her doing cleaning and cooking and other things homeowners do. Then her mom would pop in and give her grief for acting like a mortal and then hijinks would ensue because her mom and cousin's main hobby was wreaking havoc in their very dull (according to them) life.

One of the Darrin's had a drug problem and had to quit the show. The new Darrin was unpopular with viewers and the show died.

Don't you think it is strange that both men who played Darrin were named Dick?

It was a pretty popular name before it became slang for penis. Ok I was wrong: The term came to be associated with the penis through usage by men in the military around the 1880s
Eric Partridge, Paul Beale, A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (1984), p. 305.

Plausible.

I think your confusing Bewitched with I Dream of Genie.

I find it very odd that both men who played Darrin were both named Dick. Don't you find that odd?

Yes, makes me think of those horrid "Dick and Jane" books. Trying to condition our children. Sick.

Maybe so. You make a good point here. I'll do a little research on it. :-)

Have we? :-)

Wow u/ScholarOfTwilight bringing the knowledge on this thread.

Removed. Rule 12.
