As someone who grew up slightly obsessed with television, I’ve often found myself wishing that I could reach into the screen and steal some of the imaginary powers that sitcom heroines seem to have so much fun with, like these:
The Magical Nose Twitch: Samantha Stephens, Bewitched: The best part of Samantha Stephens’ spell-casting technique is its subtlety: all she has to do is wiggle her nose, and magic happens. The Nose Twitch is to magic what the eye roll is to bitchiness: it’s simple, quick, and terribly effective—unless it goes wrong, and even then it’s okay, because hilarity typically ensues. Why can’t we all have such a marvelous ability? I wiggle my nose about eighteen times a day, but sadly, all it means is that I’m allergic to pollen.Extraterrestrial Ability To Stop Time On Earth: Evie, Out Of This World: The only thing I remember about this show is Evie’s magical finger gesture, which allows her, in Zack Morris fashion, to call a time out for Earth and stop the world from spinning. Oh, the possibilities!
