The Show Started To Fade When Aunt Clara Left.

[Schmoe56789]

Episode #254 "A Good Turn Never Goes Unpunished". She looked as though she wanted to do some majorly bodily harm to Darrin for assuming she used witchcraft in helping Darrin with his campaign. She was livid. The old Samantha in the earlier seasons, the Dick York years, would not acted out like that towards Darrin.

I think Sam had a lot of right to be so angry with him by this time. Darrin had already promised at least three times before he'd never accuse her of using witchcraft to help him (#5 "Help, Help, Don't Save Me", #73 "The Girl with the Golden Nose" and #148 "Is It Magic or Imagination?").

It was very odd watching the Season 5 DVDs and not seeing Aunt Clara. Sad, too!! Marion Lorne was just perfect as the sweet, kind and eternally confused Aunt Clara. God bless her!

[OH Nuts!]

I don't know if it faded but it certainly left a void.

Clara was the perfect character--bumbling and confused, but with such a sweet dispositon. Both sides of the family liked her--she was the only one of Sam's family that Darrin took kindly to. And oh the situations she got everyone into--like when Sam & Darrin needed an electrician and she conjures up Ben Franklin. Or when they sit down for Thanksgiving and she zaps everyone back to Plymouth Rock. Marion Lorne added so much to the show, and left such big shoes to follow.

Well said, my friend.

Why thank you Catlover79. You're the cat's meow!

Now I'm craving an Aunt Clara episode. Time to get out the Bewitched DVDs. If Aunt Clara were still around, I'd go out and buy her a doorknob! Something missing from her collection.

Thanks for the kind words.
