This fifth season episode with Dick York as Darrin,was one which was better in the second half than in the first.And it was nice when Samantha and Darrin(although he wasn't aware of it,at the time)upstaged the snobs at Burning Oak Country Club.And yes,that WAS the late Harriett Mac Gibbon (Mrs.Drysdale of "The Beverly Hillbillies")as one of the snobs.Also,Hagatha WASN'T as mean as she was in the earlier episodes "The Witches are Out"(season one-Black and white),or "Witches and Warlocks are A Few of My Favorite Things"(season 4-color).

In Season one it was Mary not Bertha in "The Witches are Out".

Myself i never thought of Bertha as mean, rather forceful & very aggressive, was the way Rita Shaw played the role, after others came on board the character became much more relaxed & laid back in her presentation.
