Was a pretty good episode in which someone else other than Endora,Uncle Arthur,or Serena,gave Darrin(Dick York)trouble.It turned out well,and at the end Darrin grew to like Cousin Edgar,when Samantha made a jealous Cousin Edgar see the light,and at the end,instead of hindering Darrin,he actually helped Darrin and Larry get the Shelly Shoe Account.Lots of good comedy bits in this one,.Any comments?

And it was also nice seeing someone else besides Darrin get in trouble with a client-In this case,it was a competitor of Darrin and Larry named Roy Frump.Anyway,a pretty good episode.

Larry must have thought Darrin was losing his mind because of the way he was stumbling around the office. A lot of funny lines in this one! I especially like Darrin's comment about cutting himself shaving.

...Roy Stuart guest starred as "Fred Froug" (the first draft script originally identified him as "Fred Schulweiler", but that was altered before the episode was filmed). The client, "Mr. Shelly", was played by veteran actor/announcer Charles Irving (he was originally a New York-based radio announcer for ABC in the late '40s, working on "THE HENRY MORGAN SHOW" and "THE FAT MAN", and also narrated several of Paramount's theatrical "Screen Songs" cartoons).

How can you go round with a Dick York episode of Bewitched? Answer: YOU CAN'T!

This was a fun ep to be sure, but Aunt Clara is the relative who could really crack me up (closely followed by Endora-that sassy foxy witch)
