This Dick York as Darrin episode from season3 color,is pretty amusing,despite a rather slow start.But this one is definitely one that got better as the episode progressed,and featured ALL of the characters in this episode,(Samantha,Darrin,Larry Tate,Gladys Kravitz,Abner,Fergus the frog,the client,Daphne)ALL in the second half.Gladys Kravitz went from being rude to nice and really befuddled at the end.And in this one,and the episode before that one,that WGN carried,the also good "Bewitched,Bothered and Infuriated",also from season 3,Darrin ACTUALLY approved of Samantha using witchcraft,and in that first one,it was really nice at the end when Darrin kissed Aunt Clara and Samantha goodbye when he left for work.Getting back to"Nobody But a Frog Knows How to Live",the ending,in which Samantha(with Darrin's approval)turned Fergus and Daphne back into frogs again,driving Gladys Kravitz crazy.

I forgot to add:The ending of "Nobody But a Frog Knows How to Live"was great.

Fergus the frog was played by John Fiedler, who was the voice of Piglet (of Winnie the Pooh) for many years. He's probably best known as the henpecked Emil Peterson, one of Bob's patients on The Bob Newhart Show.

Oops! I meant the late John Fiedler,not Jonn.Typographical error.

Season 8 - Three Men and a Witch on a Horse (1971)

Season 6 - Turn on That Old Charm (1970)

Season 5 - Marriage Witch's Style (1969)

John Fiedler died June 25, 2005 at age 80, of cancer. Never married, he was survived by two siblings.

I like this episode, too. By the way, the fountain that Samantha pops Fergus into is the fountain that is seen in the opening credits of 'Friends'.

That's right, and that same fountain was also seen in S1's "Eye of the Beholder".
