Bewitched: Samantha's Wedding Present on AllMovie

Season five of Bewitched got under way on September 26, 1968, with the episode titled "Samantha's Wedding Present." Miffed at Darrin, Endora once again sets out to prove that her mortal son-in-law is a "small, small man." Accordingly, she casts a spell which causes Darrin to start shrinking -- on his wedding day. Before the mess can be straightened out, the teeny-tiny Darrin finds himself at the mercy of a dog, a brace of garbagemen (Jack Griffin, Art Metrano), and a greedy drunk (Dick Wilson, best known as "Mr. Whipple" of Charmin Bathroom Tissue fame). A comic variation on the sci-fi classic The Incredible Shrinking Man (complete with oversized props), "Samantha's Wedding Present" was written by Richard Baer, though some sources credit Bernard Slade.
