Bewitched

Out to lunch, Samantha and her mother enjoy some superb food at Mario's restaurant and are shocked and dismayed to learn that the owner, Mario, (Vito Scotti)will soon have to close down his establishment due to the fact that a huge pizza chain has opened up and is stealing all his customers. Appalled, the two women decide to do something about it, not realising that the owner of the pizza chain is in fact, one of Darrin's clients and after they take out a full-page ad on the back of the local paper telling people to 'Eat at Mario's', Darrin may lose the client AND his job along with it.



Determined to make things right for everyone, Endora and Samantha start campaigning vigorously in favor of the pizza chain - well within earshot of the owner - who is very pleased that the team at McMahon and Tate are working so hard on his account, especially as he has recently told them that he will be taking his business to another advertising agency. Meanwhile, the full-page ad has worked wonders for Mario's business too and he has a packed house every night, leaving Samantha and Endora justifiably pleased with themselves for managing to make everyone happy and save Darrin's job at the same time.



There are many very good lines in this episode but one of the absolute highlights is the site of Agnes Moorehead walking around wearing a sandwich board to help advertise the pizza chain. Watch for it!
