synopsis
Samantha falls victim to "the Venetian Verbal Virus," which causes her to speak in nothing but rhymes. Unfortunately, her malady coincides with the arrival of Darrin's new client, Oscar Durfee (Larry D. Mann), a man who has grown sick and tired of rhyming jingles. Sara Seegar is featured in another of her innumerable "confused client's wife" roles as Mrs. Durfee. Written by Richard Baer, "Samantha the Bard" was originally telecast on January 30, 1969.
