According to Aunt Clara in the 'Bewitched' episode "The Corn Is As High
As A Guernsey's Eye", Endora, Enchantra, and Hagitha tried to convince her that
she should surrender her powers and transform herself into something useful.
Aunt Clara gave it a try as a potted plant (but started wilting) and Samantha
later thought she had turned herself into a cow.
I don't know if this a rule in the witches' handbook, but we have seen
witches and warlocks changed into objects - like an upholstered chair and a
Colonial bed-warmer. And outside that series, I think the home of Bartlett
Finchley, as seen in "A Thing About Machines" (an episode of 'The Twilight
Zone') was full of electrical devices that had once been witches and
warlocks.
Now, you've probably noticed that Buddy Hackett's mug graces the top of this post. Buddy Hackett never appeared on 'Bewitched', but somewhere out there
in TV Land he must have portrayed a warlock who got so old that his powers were on the
fritz. So he changed himself into a car.
The late comedian provided the voice for a sporty little vehicle in an
episode of 'Sabrina The Teenage Witch':
No splainin was given as to why the car could talk, but Sabrina did buy it
for five bucks over in the witches' dimension. So what else could be the reason as to why it could talk?
Don't bother answering; I'm sticking with this splainin...... Okay, fine!
Yes, it could have been reinCARnation a la Agatha Crabtree in 'My Mother The
Car', but I'm still sticking with my version!
O'BSERVATIONS:
- If his warlock did dress in a Nehru jacket and love beads, it's a cinch that he was hanging around more with Serena than with Samantha.
- His license plate was "530 V8C". It might be a clue to his identity.
- "530" could be his age at transformation; the year of his birth; or the year of his death.
- Had the second part been "VC8", we could claim that the letters were his initials and that he was the eighth to bear that name.
- But "V8C"? No clue.
- Unless.... Maybe it was supposed to be sounded together, as if his name had been "Vaetsi".
