Endora and Changing Times

This morning, my family was watching old
Bewitched
reruns.
In this episode, Endora (Samantha’s mother) is introduced to a lady who runs a men’s cologne company.
Endora asks, “Why does a woman run a company that makes men’s cologne?”.
The lady answers “To make money.”

I smile at this — a very 90′s answer.

But then it becomes clear that the rerun is not set in the 90′s.
This selfish, blunt answer tells Endora that this person is not a nice person.
So, the rest of the episode has Endora doing her magical tricks to bring
this person down a notch or two.

So, my observation for the day is — what passes these days for savy business
sense, was considered crude, crass and inhuman just a few decades ago.
