synopsis
At the insistence of his boss Larry Tate, a reluctant Darrin joins the snooty and exclusive Burning Oak country club. Believing that he has sold out his egalitarian values, Endora transforms Darrin into an insufferable, bigoted snob. Samantha straightens out the mess by revealing a few unsavory truths about the ancestors of "blue-blooded" club chairman J. Earl Rockeford (Edward Andrews) and his equally haughty wife, Hortense (Glenda Farrell). Taking time out from her duties as Mrs. Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies, Harriet MacGibbon is seen as Jessica. Written by Pauline Townsend and Leo Townsend, "The Battle of Burning Oak" was first broadcast on March 13, 1969.
