Samantha Stephens, the grooviest witch on TV, is up to some good-natured holiday mischief in these classic Bewitched Christmas episodes. In "Humbug Not to Be Spoken Here," a grouchy client of Darrin's stops by to talk business on Christmas Eve and threatens to ruin everyone's fun. In "A Vision of Sugarplums," Sam and Darrin adopt an orphan for the holiday--but it just so happens the boy thinks Christmas is "a lot of bunk." Fortunately Samantha is chummy with Santa Claus, and a couple of quick trips to the North Pole restore the Christmas spirit to both nonbelievers. Best of all, Sam's daughter Tabitha gets a one-of-a-kind Susie Bruisie doll out of the deal! Both episodes are full of good clean holiday fun--for maximum enjoyment, bake cookies while you watch. --Claire Campbell

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Viewing For The Festive Season, April 18, 2002

By	Simon Davis - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This tape contains two of the great Christmas episodes from the magical series "Bewitched" One episode is from season one and the second from season four. Both are just great and being from the earlier part of this classic long running series are really fresh and vital. Both have the benefit of having Dick York playing Darren which is a real bonus as he was far and away the best of the two Darrens.
My favorite of the two episodes is "Humbug Not To Be Spoken Here" it is one of the very finest of the many classic episodes of this great series and really indicates why "Bewitched" was such a special series and continues to be. Using Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" as a loose basis this episode deals with a grumpy client of Darrens (beautifully played by the always superb Charles Lane..a Bewitched regular) who learns the true meaning of Christmas and friendship after a magical night organised by Samantha. It is a truly wonderful, funny, and often touching episode. That was the beauty of "Bewitched" in that often it combined broad comedy with very touching expressions of love and sentiment. This tape is a Christmas Eve regular in my home and I look forward to screening it every year.

Elizabeth Montgomery....... what can I say about this truly great actress? I dont think there was an episode of "Bewitched" where she was not wonderful and she brought Samantha Stevens to life like no one else could possibly. It is because of her that "Bewitched" lives on and is as popular today as it was when first aired. She combines beauty, brains, and total warmth in the character.
In "Humbug" Elizabeth has some great moments and the one in particular that never fails to move me is when, after having helped Santa with his present deliveries, she and Charles Lane are looking through the window of his butler Hawkin's home .While watching Hawkins playing with his young son. Lane exclaims "why does he look so happy doesn't he know he's poor? to which Elizabeth replies "Mr Mortimer, you're rich but are you happy? Very moving stuff at Christmas time and what modern comedy series could put across wonderful sentiment like that?
Truly a wonderful Christmas treat that I recommend to you

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Great Entertainment, September 26, 1999

By A Customer

The original cast! Everyone who is a real Bewitched fan knows that Dick York was the only true Darrin Stevens, not the other imposter whose name I won't even mention! And Elizabeth Montgomery...what else? Simply put, perfect for the part of Samantha Stevens. This video is definately worth the money...it also makes a great Christmas gift for that Bewitched fan on your Christmas list!!! This video will leave the viewer in the Holiday Spirit!
