Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• Samantha calls Gladys Kravitz by her first name. [edit]
• The map on the wall at the police station is clearly of Los Angeles and Orange Counties, California. The Stephenses live in New England. [edit]
• The door that is made in the back (dormer window) wall looks out over the front. [edit]

• This witch illness show was remade as Episode 251. [edit]
• This episode was filmed on August 12, 1965, Elizabeth Montgomery's seventh month of pregnancy [edit]

• Norton: (decides to let Darrin go) Darrin, all I know is, a man whose wife can raise black Peruvian roses, can’t be all bad. [edit]
• Aunt Clara: Well, I’ll try and conjure it up (prepares spell-casting). Now, cross your fingers. (Samantha and Darrin do so)
  Darrin: Is that part of the spell?
  Aunt Clara: No, but I need all the luck I can get. [edit]
• Darrin: (to the officer at the police station) Do I look like the type of man who would accost ladies in the middle of the night?
  Officer: No. No, I must admit you don’t. You seem normal enough.
  Darrin: Well, thank you, Sergeant.
  Officer: By the way, what’s in the bag?
  Darrin: Two bat wings, half a pint of porpoise milk, four eyes of a newt. [edit]

• The title alludes to the reputed non-help from a disinterested doctor, "Take two aspirin and call me in the morning." [edit]
