I’ve been there. Nice sunny spring day. We enjoyed the town. Did all the tourist traps. Fun and interesting. Missed the house of seven gables though but did hit up ye old pepper co. For some good chocolate!

I’m willing to forgive her as she had great legs.

Yeah, it’s probably a reporter working on a self-help book to be titled, “The Agenda-Driven Life.”

Compared with Barbara Eden, or for that matter, Marianne on Gilligan’s Island, Liz was the dog that sleeps under the front porch.

A harsh sentence but just.

I had such a huge crush on Elisabeth Montgomery!

I know what you mean. I grew up in North Andover, which at the time was still part of Andover and bordered the part of Salem where the trials took place, which would later splinter off to become the town of Danvers. Still a dark and harsh place in many ways. The native populace is quite closed off and judgemental to this day. Had itermmittent cases of the heebie-jeebies my whole childhood.

Salem was a sideshow, King Phillip’s war was where the Puritans strutted their stuff. Of course they had plenty of practice under Cromwell before they shipped across.

That show had some funny actors as regulars - Paul Lynde (Uncle Arthur) and Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay) were my favorites. Gladys Kravitz was a great character as well.

The witch hunt goes on... now it is about being that pure feminist lamb victim of the child she needs to abort, coerced to have a child by god... just like in the Arthur miller book calling them babes.

They need to recast that statue. It look like a demonic version of Elizabeth Montgomery.

"...They probably didn't like Arthur Miller..."

Wasn't Miller sorta a commie, and wasn't The Crucible a metaphor for McCarthyism, wherein Miller sided with commies?
