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.

Mistakes

Santa Comes to Visit and Stays and Stays - S6-E14

Plot hole: Mrs. Kravitz, while standing in the Stephenses' front doorway, sees Santa Claus and assumes that it's Darrin in costume. However, the very next shot shows Santa exiting the kitchen (around the corner from the front door) and starting up the hallway toward the living room. There is no possible way Mrs. Kravitz could have seen him when she said she did. (00:09:30)

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.
