I was looking for an article in their back issues when I came across their episode descriptions for the show, which are pretty hilarious. Clearly the writer(s?) had some fun with these. Plenty o' puns. Some favorites:

Mother, Meet What's His Name ...he happens to be my husband.

My Boss the Teddy Bear - Darrin finds that a boss in one's lap is a little embarrassing.

What Every Young Man Should Know ...and luckily never discovers.

Do you remember when Samantha turned a 'wolf' into a harmless puppy?
It Shouldn't Happen to a Dog
..unless the dog is not quite what it seems.

Help, help, don't save me...
...or if you do, don't let me know.

The Very Informal Dress - Aunt Clara's presents prove embarrassingly insecure.

Prodigy - Louis once again suffers from lack of support. (LOL!)

Trick or Treat ...keeps the wolf from the door.

Speak the Truth ...but not all the time!

Super Car ...from mother with love!

Double Double, Toil and Trouble ...no holds Bard!

To Twitch or not to Twitch ...guess who wins by a nose!

Samantha for the Defence ...in which friend Ben electrifies the jury!

The Dancing Bear ...is Endora's ultimate weapon in the war of the grandmothers.

Aunt Clara's Old Flame ...flickers again, but his magical powers burn less brightly.

Nobody but a Frog knows how to Live ...but look before you leap!

Humbug Not Spoken Here ...or Santa will sleigh you!

Trial and Error of Aunt Clara ...or how to succeed in witchery without really trying!

No Harm Charm ...all's-well spell?

The Corn is as High as a Guernsey's Eye ...and Clara is a good name for a cow.

The Joker is a Card... and when Uncle Arthur and Endora come to grips, the joker is also wild.

Sam's Thanksgiving to Remember ...is best forgotten!

I Get Your Nanny, You Get My Goat ...is that for better - or nurse?

Snob in the Grass... needs mowing down to size!

How Green was my Grass ...but how red was my face!

The Solid Gold Mother-in-Law ...is on her mettle!

The Short Happy Circuit of Aunt Clara ...gets a few wires crossed!

Samantha's Wedding Present
... Darrin shrinks from accepting one from Endora

An interesting alternate title for "A Bum Raps" that I've never seen before:

Bewitched: Double Act - Albert's understudy makes a move.

Another alternate (British!) title: "The Cat's Miaow"

As opposed to "Hooray":

Hippie Hippie Hoorah
...is no laughing matter!
