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.

06E07 - To Trick-Or-Treat or Not to Trick-Or-Treat

Halloween is approaching, and Samantha is helping prepare Tabitha and several of the other neighborhood children's costumes as they are all participating in the trick-or-treat for UNICEF fundraising campaign. Samantha and Tabitha perpetuating the Halloween stereotype, especially of witches being haggard mean creatures irks Endora, who blames Darrin for sucking them in to yet another mortal tradition, this one which she sees as anti-witch. As Darrin won't back down especially as they are doing it in part for a worthwhile cause, Endora decides to give Darrin a little taste of her perspective by turning him into one of those stereotypical looking witches, complete with hooked nose, facial warts, crooked rotting teeth, bushy eyebrows and a black pointy hat which Endora refers to as a dunce cap. Although Darrin does get a more understanding view from Endora's actions, he regardless does not appreciate her meddling. As Samantha tries to decide on which side she will fall on the matter, the situation gets more complicated with Darrin's latest client, Harold Bartenbach, in the picture. First, Bartenbach gets an idea that he would like to use one of those haggard looking witches in his upcoming advertising campaign. And second, Mrs. Bartenbach is chair of the local chapter of the trick-or-treat for UNICEF campaign. Darrin not going along with the witch idea for the advertising or Samantha no longer helping with the UNICEF campaign may make Bartenbach take his advertising business elsewhere.
