That last one, the bewitchin pool, really appealed to me as a kid. I too came from a broken, dysfunctional home and how I wished I could escape to a nicer, better world just by diving to the bottom of a pool.

Yeah, that was a nice one. Sorry things weren't so good early on for you.

The episode reminded me a bit of when I lived on Manhattan's Lower East Side, which at the time (the 1960s) was a ghetto. We used to travel to Tennessee by train each summer to spend a month with relatives (on my father's side). Life was so completely different there: Warm, southern hospitality, great home cooking, beautiful scenery (Great Smokey Mtns), open space, etc, etc... There were many a time during the other months I wished I could "disappear" and wind up in Tennessee with my grandparents, aunts and uncles. Not that I had any real trouble at home, but I just loved it so much in Tennessee.
