Plot :
A witch, Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) meets and marries a mortal, Darrin Stephens (originally Dick York, later Dick Sargent). The couple attempts to lead a typical suburban life, and true love endures despite the mixed marriage's ongoing struggles due to Samantha’s disapproving relatives, supernatural illnesses, nosy mortals, and Darrin’s difficult boss. Episodes often begin with an enraged Darrin becoming the victim of a spell, which would wreak havoc with other mortals. By the epilogue, however, Darrin and Samantha would embrace and confound the devious elements that failed to separate them.
All female witches in the series have names ending with the soft "-a" sound, and male witches are known as "warlocks." The show made full use of the period's modest but effective special effects, accompanied by musical effects to highlight the magic. The witches were careful to avoid showing their powers in front of mortals, other than Darrin, but the perplexing unexplainable effects of their spells drives the plot of most episodes. Witches and warlocks usually use hand gestures along with their magical spells with, and sometimes spoken incantations. Most notably, Samantha often "twitches" her nose to perform a spell.
