Called "Remember the Main"(I think it was from second season)?That had plenty of funny parts(at the end,when Darrin says he wished he had that crooked councilman in the palm of his hand,and thanks to Samantha's zap he did),and when those hecklers threw those tomatoes at that honest councilman candidate (who won,by the way ,beating the crooked councilman),and Samantha twitched (with Darrin's approval,too)and the tomatoes that those hecklers threw again,got splattered on them(the hecklers).

That was indeed a fun episode. Here's also a bit of trivia. The man who played Ed Wright was Edward Mallory, who began a 14-year run on the then-new soap opera Days of Our Lives the following year. (Macdonald Carey, who played his father on DAYS, played Mr. Baxter in Season 4's "Birdies, Bogies & Baxter".)

Anyway, in real life, Ed Mallory married actress Joyce Bulifant (best known as Marie Slaughter on The Mary Tyler Moore Show) and they had a son together named John. Somewhere in the mid-70s, the couple grew apart and eventually divorced. Ms. Bulifant then married none other than Bewitched director/producer Bill Asher, who had been divorced from Liz for several years at this point. Bill adopted Ed's son, who now goes by the name of John Mallory Asher. John is probably best known for being one of the stars of the comedy series Weird Science, as well as Jenny McCarthy's ex-husband and father of their son.

Getting back to Ed Mallory, he remarried one of his co-stars on DAYS, actress Susanne Zenor. They remained married from 1980 until his death in April 2007.

Here is Mr. Mallory's obit which includes several photos of him with his DAYS family:

I wonder what those hecklers in the episode I mentioned thought when the tomatoes hit THEM instead of Ed Wright.
