A Bewitching Presence and Anti-feminism?

So for my first real post I thought I'd take it back old school (old school in my case at least). I know in my last post I was harping on how great and empowering the leading ladies were in some of my favorite shows, but one of my all time favorite characters would have to have been Endora, Samantha's mother, in the 1960s comedy Bewitched.

I mentioned in my last post how although Samantha choice to be a house wife, she still held the appeal of the show. Which to me, spells the makings of a women in charge, and secure with who she is, however the views on Samantha's character were not the same across the board.

As stated in the above article, "The Feminism of Bewitched" many feminist felt that the concept of a 'blonde perky house wife' was outdated. Though they knew it was about a women more powerful than her husband, and the bigger theme was a fantasy of a man and a women coming together to have a family despite their differences, they still found it the dynamics of the show and Samanatha's, played by Elizabeth Montgomery, role insulting.

I wonder if the feminist preferred Endora's character as well?
She was rude
Overbearing
and against inter-realm marriage

I'm not positive if 'inter-realm' marriage is the correct term, especially since I think I made it up. But would an advocate for hate and disunity be more fitting, as long as she was a powerful women, who wasn't held back by a man?

I'm not positive if that was the way to go either, but I loved Samantha's character, but loved Endora's character for an entirely different reason. For her style. Her Cruella Di Villesque charm was enchanting to me. Despite her general bitter tone there's no way I could hate someone with such style, and evil pizzaz.

Surprising to me Agnes Moorhead found this show to be far fetched, and didn't consider the character of Endora to be her best of work, even in spite of several Emmy nominations. She insisted that she appear in less episodes in her contract, in order to work on multiple other projects at the same time. She also was keen to the radio, and was the first women to co-host the academy awards. GO ENDORA
