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.

04E03 - Business, Italian Style

A potential new client for McMann & Tate is the Italian based company, Romani Foods, which is moving into the American market. Mr. Arcarius, Romani's account executive, believes Mr. Romani will only sign with McMann & Tate if their personalities mesh. What he really means is that Larry and/or Darrin must be able to speak to Mr. Romani in Italian. On the spot, Larry tells him that Darrin is fluent, which is the farthest from the truth as Darrin has no aptitude at all in learning foreign languages. However, Darrin decides to take on the challenge. Believing it impossible but wanting to provide Samantha the opportunity to travel to Italy for this account the mortal way, Endora places a spell on Darrin making him fluent in Italian. However, what her spell also ends up doing is making Darrin no longer understand English. This language issue not only causes the obvious problem of dealing with his English speaking colleagues - namely Larry - but also with the Romani account, as Mr. Romani may feel that Darrin's use of Italian is going overboard and thus mocking his own Italian roots.
