The Dancing Bear

Episode Number: 56    Season Num: 2    First Aired: February 10, 1966    Prod Code: 3997
Endora and Phyllis, Darrin's mom, are competing against each other again. They each give Tabitha the same exact bear, but Endora gives her bear the power to "shake its booty". The bear discos its way into Tabitha's heart and Frank gets the idea to market the dancing bear. Using some fast talking, Samantha dissuades a toymaker to produce bears for a next Christmas rush and Tabitha gets to keep the one-of-a-kind toy to herself.
