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.

04E05 - Cheap, Cheap!

Samantha doesn't want Darrin to know that she bought a new coat as he will probably think the purchase too frivolous for their budget. Darrin does find out, and although he reluctantly allows Samantha to keep the coat, Samantha vows to take it back. Endora is appalled by what she sees as Samantha needing to live on a budget, which she attributes to Darrin's cheapness. As such, Endora places a spell on Darrin to make him the most miserly person in the world. Not only does the spell affect whether Darrin allows Samantha to keep the coat, it affects Darrin's working relationships, especially with Larry, who wants to charge clients to the max, and their latest client, Mr. Bigelow, who is the tightest tightwad in the world. Samantha quickly surmises that Darrin's recent cheapness is all Endora's doing. So while Samantha tries to get her mother to remove the spell, she concurrently tries to undo the spell herself during a business dinner with Bigelow, with unintended consequences.
