In "Fastest Gun on Madison Avenue", Darrin meets (and later knocks out) a boxing champion named Tommy Carter. In the manner of real-life boxing champion Muhammad Ali, Carter claims to be "the prettiest", and uses rhyme when speaking.
Also, the name of the bar where this takes place is Dundee's. Ali's trainer/cornerman was Angelo Dundee. Coincidence? "Sterbo... Vectra... Rangay... Zeem. You're about to have a dream. And, in the words of a wise philosopher, it's going to be a BEAUT!"
Ah, Octolad, you know how I love these Reverse References! Bravo! How did you know that about Ali's trainer's name??"Witches are good! Witches are dear!"
I'm clueless about boxing, and never would have picked up on the Dundee thing. Credit goes to my uncle Gary, who likes both boxing and Bewitched. I'm hoping he'll become a Harpy at some point.
