Be it Ever So MortgagedEpisode Number: 2 Season Num: 1 First Aired: September 24, 1964 Prod Code: 3908 |
Darrin is buying a new house and wants Samantha to check it out. Samantha and Endora go to 1164 Morning Glory Circle and have a lot of fun rearranging the place with magic. Of course, they also have new neighbors, nosy Gladys Kravitz and her do-nothing husband Abner Kravitz. Gladys knows that she sees something funny going on at the Stephens' new house, but Abner doesn't believe her.
| Writer: | Barbara Avedon |
| Director: | William Asher |
| Star: | Elizabeth Montgomery (Samantha Stephens/Serena), Dick York (Darrin Stephens [ seasons 1-5 ]), Agnes Moorehead (Endora) |
| Recurring Role: | Alice Pearce (Gladys Kravitz #1 (1964-1966)), George Tobias (Abner Kravitz) |
Jim Backus was the original choice for Abner Kravitz, but he turned it down because of his commitmemt to Gilligan's Island.
(edit)
The Stephens' home is introduced as 1164 Morning Glory Circle. They also have some new neighbors as well, Gladys and Abner Kravitz. This episode was completed along with the next five episodes on September 11, 1964. The episodes were all filmed previously and Elizabeth Montgomery just came back from maternity leave to fill in the spaces where her character should be.

(Darrin feels that someone is around)
Samantha: (pretends innocence) Who could be here?
Darrin: Nobody that I know, but I don’t know about people you know. People I know, you can see, but I’m not so sure about people you know.
(edit) Gladys: (looking out the window with Abner) There he is, Abner! That’s the one who kissed me.
Abner: It don’t make any sense, Gladys. He’s got her. Why would he want to kiss you? (edit) Abner: (working on a crossword puzzle) What’s a five-letter word for the ultimate happiness, peace and tranquility? (thinks about it, then writes and says) Death. (edit) Samantha: Let’s go upstairs and look at the bedrooms.
Endora: Why go up there? Why don’t we just send for them? (edit) Gladys: (looking out the window) Abner, the house across the street has got a lawn and, Abner, there are trees and flowers.
Abner: What do you want from me? (edit)
Samantha: (pretends innocence) Who could be here?

Gladys looks through the 1164 living room window. Paint has not been scraped from the window glass. In the second view from inside of Gladys looking through the window, there is no paint on the glass.
(edit)
Gladys looks through the living room window of 1164. Part of the facade cross-bracing shows in the dimly lit window.
(edit)
The title alludes to a line in the folk song titled, There's No Place Like Home.
(edit)
Endora reads a magazine, entitled Harpies Bizarre, which is an allusion to the magazine Harper's Bizarre.
