"SAMANTHA!" "Ohhh... mother shouldn't have done that." Yeah, the plot is a bit familiar... but the funny lines are too many to quote in just one review.
Ironically broadcast the same week as "Land Of The Giants" with itty bitty shrinking Darrin in a world of giant coffee cups, furniture and mayo jars. (This had to be an expensive episode to produce.) A great dane from the Kravitzes (of course, Gladys purposely got a dog to help her snoop the Stephens house... "This dog will eat anything that's not nailed down.") chases him into hiding with the garbage. Fortunately, the friendly drunk (the reliable Dick Wilson: "I found a leprechaun in a bottle!") saves him before he winds up as part of the trash pickup.
This is basically an comedy version of "The Incredible Shrinking Man", with excellent props and Dick York's hilarious comic timing. Like many of York's best performances, one can watch this with the sound off and still laugh. Heck, just make a still of him sitting in the jar, saying "Sam, don't try to psychoanalyze him. Just give him his pony!"
