Episodes That You Didn't "Get" as a Child
This show worked on a lot of levels for both kids and adults. Some of the dialogue and its implications really went over my head when I was a child.
I just rewatched "It's So Nice to Have a Spouse Around the House". Any episode with Serena is fun, but as a child I never got how much this episode is about sex! (good thing though!)
Darrin is feeling so guilty for being mean to Sam for wanting to leave for the day and appear before the Witches Council. Larry gives him advice on how to get his "marriage back on track." I never got what he meant by "the honeymoon special"! LOL I thought he just meant that Darrin should be nice to his wife and bring her some flowers and candy.
Later, a panicked Serena (subbing for Samantha) has a worrried exchange with Endora.
Serena: He wants to take me for a ride!
Endora: I don't know what that means.
Serena: He wants to make up.
Endora: Ooh, I know what THAT means!
It's amazing how this show could tackle adult topics and still make it totally acceptable for kids to watch.
There were several other shows were Larry gives his tacit approval to Darrin when he mistakenly thinks the latter is stepping out on Samantha. Usually it's a smirk and, "You son of a gun."
There is one detail in this episode that I have seen cited as a continuity error. In the series premier, Sam and Darrin spend their wedding night in a what appears to be a fancy, big city hotel. In Spouse Around the House, they refer to spending their honeymoon at The Moon Thatch Inn.
Well, both could be correct. They obviously married quickly without informing their families, sort of an elopement. It's likely that they married in New York and spent their wedding night in a big hotel. The next day they drove out to the countryside to have a romantic honeymoon at The Moon Thatch Inn.
Any other episodes where you just didn't get what they were talking about?
