This episode really bugs me. The double for Tabitha is obviously so much taller than Erin,and *sigh* it's such a retread of "Samantha on the Keyboard." Wish I could remember what you had to say about this the first time around, Doc!"Witches are good! Witches are dear!"

Yup, what was your verdict on that one? I think it's better this one; Jonathon Harris is a hoot, and the whole "Turkey in the Straw" thing at the end is hilarious. And I love hearing Liz play "Born Free.""Witches are good! Witches are dear!"

I actually liked this episode. I guess partly because I like ice skating, and the scene at the end where Endora was making everyone fall on the ice was funny. I was wondering, though, wouldn't it be a little unsafe foe the 'stars' to be out on the ice? I mean, what if someone fell and broke their arm? I don't think that would've worked out with their filming schedule very well...Upon that unicorn I put my spell, Approach it and the truth you'll tell! Step back and once again you'll speak, Those lies so dear to mortals weak! ~ Endora

I think the safety issue is the reason Sam turns herself in to an ugly witch when she goes out on the ice. From a business point of view it was much safer to have somebody else do the skating.
There is an episode of That Girl that also involves skating and it is pretty obvious it isn't Marlo Thomas in most of the shots.
I think it was also around this time that Here's Lucy was sent in to a panic because Lucille Ball broke her leg in real life? They had to write/rewrite a whole bunch of scripts because of it.
