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.

06E10 - Daddy Comes to Visit

Maurice stops by for a visit. When Samantha won't zap him up the breakfast of his choice, the issue of Darrin banning witchcraft unless in extreme emergencies is discussed. Maurice believes that if given a taste of witchcraft himself, Darrin would relish the life of a warlock. As Samantha has lived mostly a mortal life for the five years that she and Darrin have been married, Maurice eventually is able to convince Darrin to at least try the other side for one day by temporarily giving him powers. As the day progresses and as Darrin has yet to use the powers for anything of substance, Maurice is further able to convince Darrin to use the powers to spy at the board meeting of one of his clients, Silas Pharmaceuticals, who will be deciding at that meeting between McMann & Tate and a competing firm for their account. Darrin's pitch was a modern campaign, which bucks Silas' traditional trend over the course of their history. With that inside information which should win McMann & Tate the account, will Darrin want to move over to the side of witchcraft permanently?
