Who treated Darrin worse - Endora or Larry? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I will say I think Larry was worse to Darrin. He was always firing his right hand man over the pettiest things, or threatening to fire him over the pettiest things. Larry was always trying to butt into Darrin's personal life as well.

Endora could (and often did!) change Darrin into various creatures and even literally rearranged his face(!), but he often was asking for it. Darrin could've saved himself a lot of grief if he'd been more polite to his mother-in-law. But it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun, right?

I think Endora did. She was very hostile toward him at times. He had more to worry about when she was mad at him.

In the first three seasons,Larry and Darrin got along great.Beginning with fourth season,however,Larry let his greed take over,and threatened to fire Darrin in every other episode.Endora was also a pain,(sometimes to Samantha as well,who,in the black and white Dick York as Darrin episodes said,when she left,"good."And in one of the black and white episodes with Dick York,BOTH Darrin and Samantha got mad at Endora.),and she was also hard on Darrin ,even harder on him than Larry ,her and Darrin being in-laws,,so I would have to say that they(in the latter episodes beginning with the fourth season)were BOTH,in their own way,hard on Darrin.

I think Endora was meaner but for a so-called "friend" Larry was pretty awful a lot of the time. You know who was bad to Darrin too was Maurice! Remember when he "killed" him when he blew up the statue? I got the feeling he did serious damage that was going to be hard to undo because Samantha got soooo upset with Maurice, more upset than the usual trapping him in a mirror, sending him somewhere awful or turning him into a gorilla. I don't think she ever got that upset with Endora, which makes me think Endora's tricks weren't as bad as Maurice's. Sorry to be so long winded.

Maurice did do some pretty horrible things to Darrin, right from the start. I forgot about that.

Endora treated Darrin worse, at least Larry couldn't change him into something unusual.

I think Larry was worse. Endora wasn't so bad. Darrin asked for it a lot of the time. Endora was chic and glamorous; I liked her!

My point exactly. Darrin had it coming most of the time with Endora. You think he would've learned his lesson after the first 18,957,527 times.

I think Endora treated him worse, sometimes he asked for it though.

Endora was the worse one. I believe if Larry fired Darren Samantha would wiggle her nose and get his job back. Endora was a real witch. I remember one time she changed Darren into a pig.

Because he was being pig headed, LOL.

Larry really crossed the line forcing Darrin to get the Summers account in the Season 4 episode Snob in the Grass. Larry forced Darrin to accompany him for drinks and dinner with his (Darrin's) ex, Sheila. Larry threatened to fire him (as usual) if he didn't go, despite Darrin's protests. If any boss in real life, today, tried that...

Ooo boy.
