Man Bewitched was so weird about race stuff. Season 5 has some really great surprisingly-progressive stuff with some Black characters, but then they still turn around and make stupid "Chinese proverb" jokes (in broken English) and whatnot.

Also they made a joke about the Eiffel Tower (constructed from 1887-1889) in the presence of Napoleon Bonaparte (d. 1821) and Napoleon thought it funny. Historical accuracy is not this show's strong suit. Also apparently Larry Tate is 47 years old? The actor was... huh, 52. Okay, so I guess this is just a case of actors in the 60s aging a *lot* faster back then. I blame smoking.
