I liked them, especially Paul Lynde as the driving instructor. Thats one of the funniest episodes of the first season.

My mom LOVES that ep. She saw it when it was originally on, not long after she'd finally passed her own driver's test (on the third try). Mom said she split a gut laughing at how Sam made the cars disappear and how she was able to parallel park so easily.

Poor Harold Harold - having to eat tranquilizers in wafer form!!

Answer:In those episodes,three much-better than average black and white episodes with Dick York as Darrin first season's "Driving is the Only Way To Fly",Paul Lynde played Harold Harold,Samantha's driving teacher,Bernard Fox played Osgood Rightmire(who was stuffy but likeable,unlike Bombay who was somewhatb irritable)in second season's "Disappearing Samantha"(It was nice to see Samantha,Darrin and Endora working together),and Alice Ghostley as the nice-Esmeralda like maid named Naomi (Even Darrin(Dick York )liked her),in second season's "Maid to Order".They even used the name Esmeralda (the Tate's maid)in this episode.

Also Bernie Kopell, who played the warlock pharmasist, also played a client of McMann & Tate. He fell in love with Bunny, Uncle Arthur's rabbit that he turned human.

I liked all of them, especially Alice Ghostly as a maid who broke dishes and ended up being a good accountant.

Paul Lynde as the driving instructor and Uncle Arthur were funny. I also liked Bombay he was always funny.

I love how every time Samantha or Endora summoned Dr. Bombay, he was in the middle of a bath or competing in the dolphin races. Always good for a laugh.

Let's not also forget that Reta Shaw played a witch named Bertha before she became Aunt Hagatha. (But in my mind, it's the same character!

)

I feel the same way. By the way did you know that Reta Shaw played one of the domestics in the movie "Mary Poppins"? (along with Hermione Baddelay who played Mrs. Naugatuck on Maude)

Oh yes, she was definitely one of the definitive character actresses of her time. Wasn't she also in The Ghost & Mrs. Muir?
