Movie Reviews of Bewitched - The Complete Fourth Season
Movie Review: Obvious Plot Device in Hippie...
Summary: 4 Stars
Plot devices are used in sitcoms all the time and most can be overlooked if a sitcom is funny enough, but in Bewitched, season 4, one particular episode doesn't quite cover itself enough. The plot device in "Hippie, Hippie, Hooray" is much too obvious for my taste. In this episode, Sam's cousin Serena decides to play a "hippie" musician and gets her picture put on the front-page of the local news during a local "sit-in" which is busted up by a motorcycle gang and cops. It's not enough, however, that Serena is the twin-cousin of Samantha, she also decides to make her hair "blonde" for the event. Serena, in all past episodes, has always been a brunette and from every indication, prefers being a brunette.
So, why does Serena decide to be a blonde in this particular episode? Well, for one thing, if Serena had preferred to stay brunette for this episode, then she probably would not have been confused with Samantha by Darrin's boss, Larry Tate, and his wife Louise. That's the basis for the whole situation in this episode. We're suppose to believe that Serena simply decided she didn't mind being blonde after all, even after expressing distate for it in several earlier episodes. We're also suppose to think that Serena's "hippie" event had to happen in Connecticut (The fictional location of this series), even while California is the more likely stage, and Serena could have just as easily staged this thing anywhere in the world (she is a witch, after all).
But forget about the location because its the simple fact that Serena decided to be a blonde for the event which is the obvious plot-device. Why deliberately cause her cousin Sam so much bad publicity? That isn't her style. That's more her mother's style, because she likes anything that hurts Darrin's position. The point is, in a more reality-based fiction, the chances are Serena would have simply chosen to be a brunette for the event, but that probably would have prevented the whole situation.
I know sit-coms are over-flowing with plot-devices, but they're funnier when the plot-devices aren't so damn obvious. Bewitched is generally good for goofy laughs, but this particular episode didn't quite do it for me. As for the rest of the season, aside from the warm and fuzzy holiday episodes, which are obviously made for kids, it was okay.
Toys in Babeland has a perfectly mad-cap ending, Cheap, Cheap is a nice twist of humor, Big Ears is nice social commentary with some good laughs, Once in a Vial is a good backfire on Endora's manipulations, Snob in the Grass is another good social commentary with laughs, and Man of the Year is a minor gut-buster that makes big fun at the expense of Darrin's vanity.
This season is obviously one of the best, despite the fact that it doesn't rely so much on the nosey neighbor Gladys Cravits (no longer played by the original).
