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.

04E31 - The No-Harm Charm

Darrin and Samantha are in excited anticipation of the discussion Larry is having with McMann about Darrin becoming a partner. Instead, the news Darrin receives is that he is nearly fired over a major gaffe in a campaign for a bank. Darrin is bedriddenly depressed, especially over Larry's suggestion that he take some time off, despite Darrin believing that it was Endora who created the mistake if only to thwart his upward career trajectory. Uncle Arthur comes by with something that will help Darrin combat Endora and anyone else like Endora who may want to bring him harm: a lucky charm that will protect him against any harm, even that by witchcraft. A thankful Darrin uses the power of the charm to try and restore his good name, both with his company, and with Mr. Markham, the bank president. What Darrin is unaware of but what Samantha knows perfectly well after the fact is that there is no such thing as a lucky charm. Indeed, Uncle Arthur gave Darrin the "charm" solely to boost his confidence, which it did. But Samantha realizes that that confidence may also lead to Darrin taking unnecessary chances, some which could prove costly.
