First appearance of Paul Lynde
kevinolzak1 November 2016
"My Master, the Rich Tycoon" guest stars the very funny Paul Lynde, a semi-regular as Samantha's Uncle Arthur on BEWITCHED, here making the first of three appearances. As Harry Huggins, he arrives at the Nelson residence one morning, meets a very helpful Jeannie at the door (claiming to be Tony's housekeeper), and makes disparaging remarks about the tackiness of the place. In no time she blinks up one priceless art treasure after another, even a safe full of money, all intended to impress the arrogant Huggins, moved to reveal himself to be an IRS agent who sees Major Nelson as a means to a promotion. Dr. Bellows has a terrific exchange with the smug Huggins, admitting that his dossier on Major Nelson runs 117 pages! The satisfaction of seeing someone else 'get it' from Tony is short lived, as Huggins has no choice but to inquire about the doctor's Jamaican trip. An unbilled Maurice Dallimore cameos as Professor Prever, the art expert called in to assess Major Nelson's 'treasures.'

Funny Episode As IRS Sneaks out of the Closet
DKosty1237 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This one hits on all cylinders. Paul Lynde (who we all know now was a gay blade) plays an IRS Agent who approaches Tony Nelson's door to give him a tax refund. Instead he gets a full dose of Jeannie who shows him riches beyond the IRS Agents audit dreams. Ming Vases and Rembrandt's and a safe full of cash are all there in the blink of an eye.

After getting the show, Lynde has a funny meeting with Dr Bellows. What is great is then Jeannie and Tony give the IRS agent the Royal Bellows treatment with Bellows looking on.

The funniest line is Bellow's "It makes me feel so good to see you do it to somebody else." This is a really fun one. One goof here is Bellows mentions being snowed on. That does not happen until the next episode.
