Bewitched : "Mother Meets Whats-His-Name" Season 1: Episode 3 (excerpt)

For 1964 this moment could be considered progressive from a female empowerment perspective ?

Endora treats Darrin here with absolute suspicion, cold dismissive, disinterested, irritated by his presence, effectively from this point on, Endora relegates Darrin. Derweed, Darwin… what’s his name to an ongoing campaign of insults and torture for ever and a day, though Endora became a little more light hearted and less serious over the seasons, the conflict between her and Darrin was a constant.

Also the word 'asinine' where today would a sitcom use such a Latin word derived from asinus, ass-donkey.

These people were trained actors who found work in a mass media device known as television as cinema was changing, plus the actors, writers and set people all had cinema-stage experience.
I think it's gone full circle now and new distribution platforms, has changed media consumption forever.

1st five seasons were the best, the 2nd Darrin was a gay actor as was Uncle Arthur played by Paul Lynde, he was totally out and flaming in his portrayal, he snuck his campness under and over the gaydar to an unsuspecting mass audience before anyone else dare try.

A fun show of its time, Classic TV.
