synopsis
Fully aware that her mother, Endora, disapproves of her marriage to a mere mortal, Samantha tries to convince Endora that husband, Darrin, is a good catch. To this end, Sam takes her mother on a tour of the suburban house that Darrin is planning to buy. Within seconds, Endora has used her magic powers to do some instant landscaping -- thoroughly astonishing the Stephenses' new neighbors, Gladys and Abner Kravitz (Alice Pearce and George Tobias in their first series appearance). Written by Barbara Avedon and Danny Arnold, "Be It Ever So Mortgaged" first aired on September 24, 1964.
