A great week for "Bewitched" fans and TV trivia lovers!

MON---SAMANTHA'S SHOPPING SPREE

Cousin Henry plays a prank on an unsuspecting salesman.

Trivia note: This episode features many of TV's notable character actors from other series, including Steve Franken ("Dobie Gillis"), Dave Madden ("The Partridge Family"), Jonathan Daly ("Petticoat Junction"), and Herb Anderson ("Dennis The Menace").

This episode can also be seen in the Southern Ontario viewing area on CHCH-TV Hamilton on Saturday, April 10 at 11:30 am.

TUE---SAMANTHA AND DARRIN IN MEXICO CITY

Endora puts a spell on Darrin while he's in Mexico.

WED---SAMANTHA AND THE BEANSTALK

Guest star: Johnnie Whittaker ("Family Affair")

Tabitha switches places with beanstalk climber Jack.

My favorite "Bewitched" episode and one of my top 10 sitcom episodes of all time, mainly due to the presence of Mr. Whittaker, perfectly cast as Jack.

THU---SAMANTHA'S YOO-HOO MAID

Samantha's new maid is a witch with fading powers.

Trivia note #2: This was Alice Ghostley's first appearance as Esmeralda, Samantha's shy and clumsy maid. Her 2nd would be in Friday's episode. Like Paul Lynde before her, she had appeared in one episode during the show's first season and was so impressive that she was later given a recurring role on the show. During that first appearance, she played a maid named Naomi who was hired to work a dinner party for the Kravitzes. It was also revealed that the Tates also had a maid----and her name was Esmeralda!

FRI---ESMERALDA'S CAESAR SALAD

Esmeralda conjures up Julius Caesar instead of the salad.

SAT---1:00 pm---SAMANTHA'S CURIOUS CRAVINGS

SAT---1:30 pm---NAMING SAMANTHA'S NEW BABY
