Serena babysits with Tabitha and Adam. Larry comes by to return a golf club and Serena flirts shamelessly with him. Larry hurries off, but not before Serena gives him a pill to be young and active. It makes him younger, all right, by ten years! Before long, Larry gets even younger and younger and everyone is very worried about him. Serena eventually gives him an antidote which turns him back to normal.

Ronny-
Thanks very much for allowing me the use of your screen captures, from my episode. Your website is terrific. It amazes me that "Bewitched" and some of the other shows of the 60's and 70's, are still so popular today. I'm glad to see it, that era of television shows were great.
My experience working on "Bewitched" was very exciting back then. Not just because it was "Bewitched", of which I enjoyed watching as a kid, but getting the chance to work with Elizabeth Montgomery was very exciting. I was excited more so than normal, because of an exprience I had four years prior to working on "Bewitched".
In 1968, I had a opportunity to meet Elizabeth on the set of a tv pilot I did for Paramount, called "Houseboat". Elizabeth's husband then, William Asher, directed my pilot. We shot a bulk of the show up in the San Francisco area. Elizabeth came up to visit once, if not a couple times, while we were on location. I was six years old at the time we were shooting the show. Halloween fell while we were on location. On Halloween night, myself and my two tv siblings got dressed up in costumes, so our parents could take us trick or treating in the local neighborhood we were staying at. Before leaving my hotel room to go trick or treating, I had a knock on my door. When I went to open it, there was Elizabeth holding two large grocery bags full of toys for me. Everything from GI Joes to Hot Wheels, etc.. I was thrilled to say the least. Remembering what a great person Elizabeth was in 1968, made it that much more exciting to work with her in 1972.
As for working on "Bewitched", I still have alot of great memories working on the set. Yes, they did dye my hair a brighter red, as well perm it. I have pretty vivid memories of walking up to the front door of the house, as well as being inside it. If I remember correctly, it was Elizabeth's regular stand-in that played her when her back's to the camera and Serena's facing the camera.
Over all, it was a great experience working on "Bewitched". I'm glad to see people still enjoying the show, as well as seeing younger generations enjoying it too.
To answer your question, I do remember working with Dick Sargent. He was a very, very nice man as well. It's funny, in my early twenties I ran into both Dick Sargent and David White in Westwood (near UCLA), while having dinner. I saw them a couple of years apart from each other. I had a chance to chat with both for a few minutes. It's sad that so many people from the cast are gone now. That's why cable is so great, it gives people a chance to keep watching some of those old shows still.
Ronny, thanks again for your help.
