I think we're going to take the plane on Saturday. Ehh.

Anyways, last night I was watching Bewitched (the original tv series) and it's an episode where Samantha is pregnant with her second child and she starts getting cravings for food. And the bad part is, whenever she gets a craving for something, it poofs in her hand! So Dr. Bombay reverses the spell on her. But then, of course, whenever she gets a craving, she poofs to a place where she can get the food! Eventually Dr. Bombay fixes it and whenever Samantha gets a craving, nothing magically poofs.

This same scenario has been played out in a couple of the Bewitched episodes I've seen as well as on episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Not the exact pregnant cravings scenario, but with the whole inconvenient spell that gets "reversed" and then doubles in inconvenience. Instead of reversing spells, why don't television witches remove them? It's really quite ridiculous. It was clever and inventive when it was first scripted, I'm sure. But it's gotten old and foolish. Don't you agree?

Also, my favorite Bewitched quote from Dr. Bombay occurs in this episode! "Some day you're going to make a beautiful artichoke!" Haha! Though Endora is my favorite character, of course.
