I Dream of Jeannie Darrin is more mysogynistic than Tony Nelson. At least Tony let Jeannie use her powers to fix dinner, clean the house, fix the magical problem. Samantha always had to ask permission to use magic to fix a magical problem. Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

They should have had an in-show explanation for the switch in Darrins (and Dicks) -- like maybe Samantha's powers going awry during a witchy facelift...

Had to think long and hard about the "Bewitched" one so I'll vote for Jeannie. "Hey Jim! Get Mon out of the Zone!! And...when do we get Condo back?"

Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,659 The Pyngwyn Colonies If I had to pick one in this I'd pick Bewitched for two reasons. 1. It's pretty. 2. To see Stu twitch his nose beguilingly. If the Quismaster doesn't mind, I'll be bold and start another: Gilligan's Island ("Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...") vs. The Patty Duke Show ("Meet Cathy who's lived most everywhere...") The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Gilligan's Island. Fun theme that totally gives you what you need to know up front. Plus, my wife can sing Amazing Grace to it. Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,659 The Pyngwyn Colonies As far as Gilligan vs. Patty, I'm going with Patty. It's not as well known, but any song that contains "A hot dog makes her lose control" wins in my book! The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,659 The Pyngwyn Colonies I guess Gilligan won that round. I'm glad to see that Dev's wife also knows about the "Amazing Grace" thing. You can also sing it to the theme from The Mickey Mouse Club. For those who aren't familiar with the Patty Duke theme, you can see it here. Moving on to the '70s: The Mary Tyler Moore Show ("Love is All Around") vs. All in the Family ("Those were the Days") The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."
