Bewitched

Darrin (Dick York/Dick Sargent) and Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery) are a young, bi-species married couple: he's a mortal human being, she's a witch, something which she does not divulge to him until after their wedding. Darrin just wants them to live a simple, mortal life, to which Samantha agrees, meaning no witchcraft and no telling any of their mortal friends and relatives of her being a witch. However, that no witchcraft vow is difficult to maintain if only because of Samantha wanting or needing to use it to get out of one scrape or another, and her relatives, especially her mother Endora (Agnes Moorehead), the most constant thorn in Darrin's side, against the marriage and the idea of denying Samantha's heritage as a witch. Mortals in their lives also add to their complicated lives: Darrin's friend and spendthrift boss, Larry Tate (David White) of McMann and Tate Advertising, who always wants Darrin to do all the work while the company gets all the glory and money; their nosy neighbors, the Kravitzes, Gladys Kravitz (Sandra Gould/Alice Pearce), who always arrives at the most inopportune time to show her exasperated husband Abner Kravitz (George Tobias) that something funny is going on in the Stephens house; and Darrin's parents, his mother, Phyllis Stephens (Mabel Albertson), who is prone to splitting headaches which become more prevalent as she thinks she sees things in Samantha that just couldn't be in her mortal view. That complicated life gets even more complicated when they start a family, the children who could be mortal or who could be witches and warlocks.

04E01 - Long Live the Queen

Samantha is honored by the news that Ticheba, Queen of the Witches, is coming by for a visit, although she has no idea why Ticheba would want to see her. Upon her arrival, Ticheba tells Samantha that she is abdicating her throne, and that Samantha has been chosen the new queen, the change to take place at a special witch's coven that evening. After an initial moment of surprise and honor, Samantha decides to turn the position down, if only because of Darrin. Samantha, however, is talked into at least speaking to Darrin about the issue. As Samantha expected, Darrin is less than enthusiastic, but Samantha is able to convince him if only because she likens it to being her destiny, which he is somewhat unable to prohibit. She further explains that she will perform whatever duties required after midnight so as it not interfering with her mortal life. Even with these stipulations, Darrin may not be able to handle being married to the queen, especially as her duties not only affect his personal life, but also his professional life.
