Trivia
The third of three shows (Part I) where Darrin has to travel back in time to rescue Samantha who has also lost her memory.

Goofs
The song, "Early One Morning", which Samantha sings for Henry VIII in 1542, is not known to have existed then, its origins thought to be sometime in the eighteenth century.

That may well be true. However, Samantha retained her memory of how to play a lute, so she certainly could have retained her memory of the song, too.

🌟 BEWITCHED AT ITS ABSOLUTE BEST 🌟

🏆 Season 8 opening 2-part premiere ... SAMANTHA MEETS HENRY THE 8TH (and has to keep her head) 😆 This elaborate 2 part BEWITCHED episode has Samantha sent back to the Court of Henry 8th by an evil hateful witch's curse... Samantha HAS no idea who she is or where she came from... She joins a traveling minstrel show and ends up performing for the king... Darrin who's back in present days is getting Endora's help in how to rescue Samantha from the past.. Veteran Character actor RONALD LONG was born to play Henry the 8th and is superb.. As is ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY as she comically excells in her part as a victim of circumstance who is also hilariously sarcastic... Elizabeth also has a few great 16th century folk ballads to sing.. ALL IN ALL this elaborate two parter is BEWITCHED AT ITS BEST 👑
