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.

05E24 - The Battle of Burning Oak

Darrin is working on a new account for J. Earl Rockeford, who asks Darrin to join Burning Oak Country Club, where Rockeford is CEO and Chairman of the Board. Much to Larry's horror, Darrin tells Rockeford that he'd like to think about the generous offer, a response Larry feels will jeopardize the account as even questioning the offer Rockeford would see as an insult. Indeed, Darrin isn't sure that he and Samantha would either fit in with or enjoy the company of who he perceives as the snobbish crowd at Burning Oak. Darrin and Samantha decide they should at least give Burning Oak a try if only as a means of apologizing to Mr. Rockeford for what could be construed as Darrin's rudeness in not immediately accepting the offer. While Darrin has a golf date with Larry and Rockeford at the club, Samantha has a lunch date with Hortense Rockeford and two other women of the screening committee. Endora believes that Darrin does relish being one of the snobs, and just before he is to go to the golf game places a spell on him to make him even more of a snob than Rockeford, which may truly jeopardize the account. Meanwhile, Samantha finds that the crowd at Burning Oak is far more insufferable in their exclusive attitude than even she could imagine, the scrutiny all in an effort keep out who they consider the riff raff, which includes anyone of an ethnic background. Beyond the issue of Endora's spell, Samantha wants to show up the crowd at Burning Oak for the hypocrites that they truly are beneath their manicured and couturiered exteriors.
