I love how Sam’s eyes widen when she hears “We don’t have a dog”-she already knows EXACTLY what happened. :p Love the pun on making a bully a BULLdog, too. Life would be a lot easier if we could turn bullies into different things! Maybe Internet trolls could become Troll dolls. :p

[@angeljaceherondale]

Right?! In any circumstance that's a super damaging thing to say to your child, wth.

[@elizabethacosta1667]

It was the horrible gender roles of the era.

[@La_abbess]

Watch tik tok- see how ppl and their kids are talking to each other. It’s worse

[@pjasmine]

True. At least ask why she did that in the first place. But to Samantha, Tabitha was being naughty and she refused to follow her mother's rule to not use magic. To Samantha, Tabitha was always looking for trouble. Imagine this is real life. We must understand that what Tabitha did to this boy, someone's son, not even a relative, that magic could actually hurt the boy. If the magic caused harm to the boy, it's not even Tabitha's fault because she was still a child. It's Samantha's fault for leaving her unattended with this boy. So she was frustrated. She must be thinking, how many times must she explain to Tabitha the "danger" of using magic. Not easy, you know. You want your child to blend in but life happens. Of course, this is comedy. What Samantha should have said, "we talk about this at home, change him back now before something else happen to him." Samantha should not blame her daughter "personally" (because it's Tabitha's nature as a witch), but to react to the situation so it can be fixed asap.

Another part of this scene I love is when Sam comes out and sees what Tabitha did and asks, Where's Michel? Tabitha points to the dog. Then her mom asks her three other questions. Each time Tabitha nods. I can just hear Tabitha's thoughts. Yes mom, I did. I sure did. Yes I can. I love it when Tabitha did something, many times she'd clap, as if she were proud of herself. 😀 Precocious, like her Mother was. BEWITCHED was/is so much fun!

I would've appraised the girl for dealing with that jerk. And for her incredible use of magic at her age and as only a half witch.

[@ImmortalSynn]

Though to be fair, the episode that Endora and Hagatha formally tested Tabitha's powers showed that she was stronger than a typical full-witch of the same age. Apparently, being a half-witch never factored in for her.

When you know what oedipus is its hard not to interpret it any other way. But i guess the people who arent weirded out are also the ones making it a popular category on a certain adult hub site.

[@Person-mh6xq]

Yes! Really weird and cringey...and especially for a sitcom like this.

[@giuliab8484]

Yeah, I was shocked

[@marlak4253]

Freud's Oedipus Complex is his analogy for the affective mental processes leading to the development of "conscience", the original value system. The child develops an unrealistic desire and attachment to one or the other parent or caregiver wishing to replace the other parent. The child eventually realizes his or her desires are unrealistic and must overcome the feelings, usually around 4 yrs old. With the painful emotional loss the child "internalizes the character or values" of the lost cathexis, his or her first deeply felt lost love. Yes, which is usually one or the other parent.
