i see myself in that character?... you even look at agnes moorehead as endora and you could see a lot of early touchstones for drag. samantha: don't you realize you're under a spell? endora: i know dear, but when you're in love the whole world is under a spell. patrick gomez: that was groundbreaking. herbie pilato: the great thing about the show is that samantha wasn't defined by her supernatural powers. she was really defined by her humanity. samantha: that picture, it's offensive. darrin: offensive? samantha: is that how you think i look? darrin: will you calm down - samantha: well do you? darrin: of course not. herbie pilato: the real message of bewitched was about prejudice. samantha: why did you do it? darrin: because that's the way most people think witches look. samantha: is that any reason to discriminate against a minority group? darrin: what minority group? samantha: witches of course! herbie pilato: bewitched is an immediate hit. everybody is twitching their nose. it put abc on the map. it was below bonanza, which was nbc's number one series. so now nbc wanted to do a witch show.
