Bewitched

[Drunk Monk]

Season one, Samantha is strangely submissive to her love of Darrin - a good period housewife. By the 2nd series, she stands more independantly, less ashamed of her quirks, more at ease. The whole cast is in a groove. They've figured out their roles, the show is a hit and they're enjoying themselves. That groove continues in season 3. Season three switches out two major characters, Gladys Kravitz and Louise Tate. The new Gladys is horrible. She lacks the neuroses of the original, the felling that it might be her madness after all, and replaces it with more obnoxiousness. The new Louise Tate is seemless. It takes a few moments to even realized she's been replaced. I think this is when the show went color, but it doesn't make much of a splash since we got the colorized versions of season 1 & 2. And Tabitha is introduced.

Caught Inherit the Wind last night on PBS. First time I've seen it, actually. I was rivetted. Mrs. Dm has the play, of course. Anyway, Dick York is the accussed Darwin teacher. He's great in the role.
