Title: TVLines's Top TV Witches
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on November 03, 2015, 11:39:36 PM
A bit late with this (though votes are still being accepted):

Top TV Witches From Charmed, Buffy, Sabrina, TVD, East End and More (http://tvline.com/2015/10/31/tv-witches-best-worst-charmed-buffy-tvd-halloween-2015/)

But, of course, no Angelique - though Looney Tunes' Witch Hazel is included - go figure!

I love WB's Witch Hazel, with her bobby-pins flying everywhere when she chased Bugs Bunny in order to cut him up for one of her potions, but this poll ignored the fact that she is not a TV witch - she appeared on the Big Screen during the era when cartoons were a part of a cinematic experience (including double-features and documentaries when going to the movies was a five-hour event costing less than a dollar).  It was only later that these cinematic cartoons started to appear on television. 

Really, who "researches" and "writes" these articles?

What a lame poll.  It would be more accurate to call Vanessa Ives on PENNY DREADFUL an occultist, though she was trained in certain arts by a Witch.

It looked mostly like a parade of ladies who spend more time researching hair care products than studying the art of magic.

YAWN.
