Samantha and Dr Smith

[gregorycanfield · 8/10 · 27 December 2021]

Samantha's piano teacher is none other than Jonathan Harris. His role here comes across like a variation on his Lost in Space character. We also see Fritz Feld, who guest starred in three Lost in Space episodes. The novelty of having Harris and Feld together here is more interesting than the episode itself. As the piano teacher, Harris is more impressed with Tabatha than Samantha. Through some kind of spell, little Tabatha plays like a professional. Of course, the whole reason for hiring a piano teacher is because Darren (again) forbids any kind of witchcraft. Funny, this was Season Five, and there hadn't been a single episode where witchcraft wasn't performed. What made this idiot think his word was law? Overall, very predictable, mediocre episode.

🏆 COMEDY CAST DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS

🏆 HILARIOUS...BEWITCHED EPISODE!.. Because this cast of ULTRA FUNNY COMICS is the Best There Is... First, you have guest actor JONATHAN HARRIS (Dr. Smith from Lost In Space) playing a neurotic piano teacher, who is giving Samantha piano lessons because Darrin has challenged her to learn to play "the mortal way"... Harris is hilariously funny as always, and when in scenes with pros like Agnes Moorehead and Elizabeth Montgomery the three of them are a comic force to be reckoned with ☺ And if that's not enough.. Then you have another comic genius join the group... FRITZ FIELD (who had worked opposite Harris in several episodes of Lost In Space before).. FIELD plays a famous concert master who comes to hear 4 yr old Tabitha play like a child prodigy (Endora had temporarily turned her into a virtuoso) 😆 When the Master hears Tabitha (no longer able to play with witchcraft) pound on the piano like any 4 yr old.. it becomes hysterically funny.. All 4 actors (Montgomery, York, Harris and Field) are fantastic.. Their timing is so on target that when Field does his famous Hand-Pop sound.. Watch the other 3 actors instinctively jump as though they were all startled in unison 😊 This is the kind of episode where everything works perfectly and why Bewitched after all these years is still as fresh and funny as the day it was first seen. CLASSIC COMEDY WITH SUPER PROS BEHIND THE WHEEL 🏆
