    Storyline

    Edit
    Big Blue Marble featured real children doing real things. Each weekly episode showcased a girl and a boy in separate segments; the shows paired a domestic story with an international one. Crews traveled to Africa, China, Europe, and Russia, as well as all over the United States to tell the everyday stories of adolescence. The most popular segments with the audience were stories about animals and sports. —Lillian Benson, editor

    "Witch's Sister" was the best!
    I loved Episode #038, entitled "Witch's Sister," as a child. It was just the right blend of hokey and scary. Very well executed. Halloween was always my favorite holiday, and that movie would always set just the right mood. I especially loved the dream sequence in black and white where Judith is dancing through a graveyard amongst the tombstones. I was about the same age as the main character, Lynn, and I wished that I could have creepy adventures like the ones she and her best friend, Mouse, had. The spooky old house. The eerie neighbor woman. The mysterious and very attractive young man who's been coaxed out of his watery grave. What more could a budding young girl with an overactive imagination ask for? I, too, wish that these selections would be brought back so that they can be enjoyed again, even if by no one else other than myself.
