"|, Darrin, Take This


Witch, Samantha’ William Asher Sol Saks September 17, 1964


In the pilot episode, strangers Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) and Darrin (Dick York) meet
one another by bumping into each other several times. They fall in love and get married. On
their wedding night, Samantha's witch mother, Endora (Agnes Moorehead), visits Samantha
and is shocked to learn her new husband is a mortal and predicts the marriage will not last.
Samantha tells Darrin she's a witch and proves it. Darrin is shocked, but realizes he loves
Samantha and cannot give her up, and he tells her he wants her to become a suburban
housewife and refrain from using magic. Later at a dinner party, Samantha uses her powers to
get back at Darrin's condescending ex-girlfriend Sheila (Nancy Kovack).


Notes:


» Rehearsal for the pilot was to begin on November 22, 1963, but was ultimately postponed due to the
assassination of John F. Kennedy. Filming was completed December 6 of that year.


= Elizabeth Montgomery would give birth to her first child seven months later, on July 24, 1964.
= Nancy Kovack's character of Sheila was originally intended to be an occasionally recurring nemesis of Darrin
and Samantha, but did not appear again until the fourth season episode "Snob in the Grass".


= Gene Blakely's character of Dave, a drinking companion of Darrin's, would recur very occasionally in seasons
1 through 4, as would Paul Barselow’s bartender character (who at various times was credited as Al, Joe,
Pete or Max). C. Lindsay Workman would also appear in a few later episodes as Dr. Koblin (the character he
plays here), as well as playing other roles throughout the series run.


= Narrated by an uncredited José Ferrer, who would also narrate episodes 2 and 4 before being dropped from
the show.
