Notes

add »
This is Maurice's first appearance. We learn that Darrin and Larry take a commuter train to work. Maurice and Darrin discuss the naming of the Stephens' first male child, not a concern of York's Darrin (though Adam was born in the sixth season, she was pregnant during the fifth season, when York was still Darrin). Filmed on October 16, 1964. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Samantha: Saladam, belazar, oblivion!
Maurice: How dare you speak to your father that way!" (edit)

Trivia

add »
Samantha tells Maurice that Darrin is from Massachusetts. In the pilot, Darrin says he's from Missouri. (edit)
It’s usual that some warlocks or witches are better in their profession than others. Maurice seems to be one of the best. In this episode it is also shown that an extreme difficult spell demands an enormously physical activation. Maurice gets almost exhausted when he casts the particular spells. (edit)
