I'd Rather Twitch Than Fight - S3-E10

Stupidity: Like most dilemmas on the show, the controversy could have been resolved by witchcraft without Darrin knowing. Why didn't Samantha just twitch a duplicate tweed coat?

Rebecca Venter

Show generally

Stupidity: As with weeping willow, fighting city hall and most problems, why can't Samantha just zap a solution? In City Hall episode, why couldn't she just zap city council to stop or stop the city from chopping down her willow?

Accidental Twins - S3-E4

Stupidity: Samantha could put a spell on Larry and Louise to stall for time. She could freeze them or make them uninterested in Jonathan until Clara remembers her spell.

I'd Rather Twitch Than Fight - S3-E10

Stupidity: When Samantha realises how upset Darrin is because she gave away his "tweedy" coat, why wouldn't she have just "zapped" him another identical one? She is a witch after all. She zaps up a lot of other convenient things.

Quotes

Samantha: Darling, I've been trying for weeks to give this house a thorough cleaning. These carpets are filthy.
Darrin Stephens: How can you worry about dirt on the rugs when we're about to see the surface of the moon?
Samantha: The moon could use a vacuuming too. All that dust... yych.

Trivia

Samantha Fights City Hall - S5-E9

Trivia: Because Erin Murphy, who played Tabitha, was ill, her fraternal twin sister Diane took her place in this episode. By this time, Erin and Diane didn't resemble each other as much as they once did, and it was obvious to regular viewers of the show that it wasn't the Tabitha they were used to seeing. The producers received several letters asking "Who was that?"

Questions

Show generally

Question: Is there some reason why Samantha wears the same exact "Heart Pendant Necklace" in every single episode? It seems odd that she only has one necklace all the time.

Answer: The original diamond and white gold heart necklace was given to Elizabeth Montgomery by her then real-life husband, William Asher, who also directed the show. She wore it in nearly every early episode. When the necklace was lost or stolen about mid-way through the series, Montgomery had two replicas made from rhinestones. She wore either one of those for the rest of the show's run.
