Bewitched

Season 1 Ep.01: I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha

This magical 1960s series begins when Darrin and Samantha first bump into each other. They realize that they have real feelings for each other and they decide to get married. What Darrin doesn’t know is that Samantha is a witch. On their honeymoon, Endora visits Samantha and tells her that she made a big mistake marrying a mortal and spends eight years trying to break the marriage. Samantha tells Darrin the truth about herself and gives him a demo of her powers. After a little soul searching, Darrin accepts her background and wants her to be a regular housewife and not to practice witchcraft. Until his former girlfriend Sheila Sommers comes in the picture. She invites Darrin and Samantha to her house for a dinner party. At the party, Sheila trashes Samantha with insults, and Samantha teaches her a lesson by trashing her party with magic! Darrin doesn’t like the fact that Samantha used her magic to get even, but Sheila did get what she had coming to her. And so begins eight years of magic and misunderstanding in Darrin and Samantha’s life.

The young executive of an advertisement agency, Darrin Stephens marries a beautiful woman, Samantha Stephens. On their honeymoon, Sam discloses a secret to him: she is a witch with magic powers. He makes her promise him that she will live like a mortal, without using witchcraft and spells in their lives, but sometimes she uses her magic to help Darrin and herself. Sam’s mother, Endora does not accept her mortal son-in-law, hates him and can hardly say his name correctly. In the suburb of Morning Glory Circle, where they live, their curious next-door neighbor Gladys Kravitz suspect Samantha, but can never prove the weird situations she sees to her husband Abner Kravitz. Darrin works in the McMahon and Tate ad agency with Larry Tate, who is married to Louise Tate. Samantha frequently receives her witch aunts in her house, specially her sweet old Aunt Clara.

The Adventures of Sir Lancelot

Episode 29: The Thieves

King Arthur and Sir Lancelot disguise themselves as thieves in order to test the validity of a statement by Lancelot. The knight believes that the thieves of the kingdom are thieves only because they are starving.

Raiding the tales of Arthurian lore, this British show follows the stirring adventures of dashing Sir Lancelot (William Russell) and the Knights of the Round Table. Queen Guinevere (Jane Hylton), King Arthur (Ronald Leigh-Hunt), and Merlin (Cyril Smith) are among the supporting cast in this 1950s series that later aired for a successful run on American television (a rarity at the time).
Although the series is supposed to be black and white, a number of episodes are mysteriously in gorgeous color.
In all of Arthurian legend, the most famous of the Knights of the Round Table is undoubtedly Sir Lancelot. This series, painstakingly researched by the History and Literature Departments of Oxford University, re-creates some of the notable exploits of the famous knight, as well as the deeds of the other members of King Arthur’s court.
