Bewitched,
reminiscent of all great television sitcoms, shows us our place in life. It gives us a glimpse of the family we would
like to be a part of, the job we wish to land, the person we would like to
become, the friends we would like to have, and the dreams we wish to
fulfill. Like a fairy godmother’s magic
dust, a good sitcom covers reality with fantasy and illusion and provides the
modern liberated child in all of us with the security of reruns on the
tube.
Bewitched teaches a valuable lesson, that there is
“magic” in us and it is waiting to be freed.
A talent cannot be suppressed; a gift cannot be ignored in order to
please someone else. In Samantha’s case,
her talent was witchcraft, and she tried to please her mortal husband Darrin by
abstaining from her craft.
A
gift is irrepressible and eventually it will emerge. Look at all the chaos that
occurred when Sam tried to suppress her talent.
Bewitched
showed fans that we all have special hidden talents/ “magic” that need to be
explored.
The Magic of Bewitched: Trivia and More book is
meant to be informational, fun, and a treasure to add to your Bewitched collection. You, the reader,
are invited to the “magic” show.
We
want love to be magical. We want to live
simply and happily. No one wants their
life to be humdrum, married to an individual that sometimes acts like a
dum-dum, live in a home in the middle of doldrums, with average children. We all desire to be special and unique. Not only do we want to meet Mr. or Miss
Right, we want it to be a mystical experience.
In a life that has countless trying moments, we deserve something
magical to cherish. Just go back for a
moment in time—look down memory lane.
What are your fondest memories?
Do they seem unreal, like a dream?
That is exactly why Bewitched
was so appealing. It made us secretly
wish that there were real witches like Samantha that turned mundane life into
magic!
