Serena, maybe.

This Serena?

Heck of an actress, that Elizabeth Montgomery.

Old Dustbin took a lot of crap from Endora. Not that he had much choice.
I can't remember the name of Samantha's free-spirited twin sister.

Sabrina? I think. Maybe it was Serena.
Endora was great. Agnes Moorehead and Dick York were friends. York loved working with her.

 

[screened porch]

No, I think you're right: Sabrina.

 

[Prester John]

No, I think you're right: Sabrina.

Just googled it: Wikipedia and IMDb say it's "Serena." Not sure why I thought it was Sabrina. Maybe they used both, like Bluto and Brutus on Popeye.

Wasn't there a show called Sabrina, the Teen-Aged Witch at some time in the past?

By Jove, you're right! (Never saw it, though.)

 

[screened porch]

I think there was a witch named Sabrina on the Archie cartoon before she became a live actress. I have to admit I saw the Archie cartoons.

Well this doesn't have a beautiful actress in it but I found it to be a bit interesting. I was on YouTube this morning looking at hunting videos and came across this guy in Colorado field dressing a big Buck Elk with a stockman. It is a graphic video of processing an animal for food so if you're a bit squeamish at the site of blood and guts you might want to pass. Video here

 

[r8shell]

Yes good idea.
The most annoying hag on any show ever was Gladys Cravitts...the nosy neighbour off Bewitched...or was she? There was an even bigger PITA on that show....with all due respect to the actress who played the character.

Sure, Endora was bitter. She had a right to be. Her daughter was denying her family's rich cultural and ethnic heritage in order to assimilate into the dominant culture. "Passing" for mortal to please her husband, she was a metaphor for the subjugation of women and minorities in middle class, mid twentieth century America.

Beverly Hillbillies was a stinging satire of class warfare and the divide between antiquated agrarian customs, and post industrial elitism.

Don't get me started on the tragedy that was Gilligan's Island.

Sabrina or Selena I believe was Sammys sister.Was she actually played by Elizabeth Montgomery credited as Pandora Spocks?

R8shell those are spot on summings up of the shows..
.Jed Clampetts simple backwoods ways and old world wisdom pipped Milburn Drysdales shady high finance wheeler dealering at every post.
As for Gilligan and his Island my only question is ...If the Professor could build an exercise bike to power a radio out of twigs vines and bamboo....why couldn't he fix a 2ft hole in the side of a boat? The show was only "rescued" by Thurston Howell III and Lovey who mysteriously managed to maintain their high society country club lifestyle . That and the occasional appearance of a man in that awesome Gorilla suit.....and Ginger and MaryAnne...

Meanwhile..I'm afraid I can't agree.
Endora was a powerful liberated divorced woman with a no nonsense take no prisoners attitude.
Then there was Uncle Arthur .
No. THE most annoying hag was Durwood Stephens own mother...utterly hopeless.
Hope that clears things up...I could go on for hours but I'd turn into the cable guy.

Watch Harry Enfield,Martin "doc martin" Clunes and some other dude take out The Persuaders, The Saint, and The avengers in one swell foop.

Exactly my point. Endora was a powerful, independent woman. That's why she was so frustrated by her daughter Samantha's life choices. I suppose it wasn't fair to take it out on Darren, but it's no easy feat taking on the patriarchy.

As to why The Professor couldn't patch the boat? Has it occurred to anyone that he could, but wouldn't? What was his nefarious plan, in keeping them all stranded?

Boy all that symbolism and meaning... guess that's why I watched The Monkee's No thinking required for that show!

If it was a 3 hour tour, why did they have so much luggage?

Only the Howells.

 

[meako]

R8shell the answer you seek to that question can be found in the return series and feature length movie of Gilligans Island...a cinematic masterpiece without parallel.
Now ...who remembers the awesome precursor...Dustys Trail..? feat Gilligan as Dusty..a bumbling simpleton on a stagecoach...with Forrest Tucker as the Wagon master and an array of idiotic passengers.....sound familiar?
Oh yeah the gorilla suit guy had as bear suit in t his one.

Gentlemen, may I remind you that we have ladies who share our love of traditional knives. This is not the place to discuss the pulchritude of various movie and TV maidens. Whine and Cheese is the proper venue for that.
