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.

Late one evening, Samantha notices Gladys Kravitz standing outside in her bed clothes with a suitcase trying to hitch a ride. Samantha learns from her that she and Abner had a marriage ending fight, that she is trying to get a ride to a hotel (since Abner wouldn't let her call a cab as it is a toll call), and that she is planning on heading to Mexico the following day to get a quickie divorce. Believing that the Kravitzes still love each other but need time to cool down and reflect, Samantha offers Mrs. Kravitz their guest room for the night, which she accepts. This move does not sit well with Darrin, who believes they should not meddle, and who becomes irked with Mrs. Kravitz for exactly the same reason that Mr. Kravitz is: her health food regimen, which she lectures him about and serves him as opposed to feeding him what he considers real food. As time passes, Mrs. Kravitz does not seem eager to leave, and Mr. Kravitz seems happy without his wife, or at least without her health food. So Darrin reluctantly allows Samantha to use a little witchcraft to bring the Kravitzes back together by showing them that they still love each other. Samantha's plan entails conjuring up Henry Fonda, or at least Mrs. Kravitz's version of the famous actor.
