Dr. Bombay (Hubert) is the witch doctor for Samantha's family. He has a distinct laugh and sense of humor. He also has mostly witch nurse assistants to help him with his work.
About[]
Usually summoned by the incantation: "Calling Dr. Bombay! Calling Dr. Bombay! Emergency! Come right away!" he appears in outrageous costumes, appropriate to whatever bizarre activity he had been interrupted doing - with or without a nurse assistant.
His antidotes for "witch" diseases sometimes go wrong, and Darrin calls him a "quack" when that happens. He usually ends his visits by popping out with a burst of laughter.
Samantha once called upon him to heal her dying willow tree. After curing Samantha from an unintended side effect of his spell, he said he should have listened to his father and become a psychiatrist. ("Weep No More My Willow")
Dr. Bombay apparently serves the witch community under the authority of the Witches Council, since Hagatha once threatened to appeal to the Council to have him replaced. His competition is another witch doctor named Dr. Agraphor. ("Samantha's Witchcraft Blows a Fuse") ("There's Gold in Them Thar Pills")
While fond of Samantha, he tends to regard Darrin with little more than amused contempt. Occasionally, he plays on Darrin's preconceptions about witches, once declaring, after performing a simple procedure, "I could've worn a black cloak and stirred a steaming cauldron, but you said you were in a hurry." On another occasion, he ominously demanded Darrin's soul in payment and, in response to Darrin's nervous reaction, said to Samantha, "Bit of a square, isn't he?"
He visited Tabitha twice after she grew up and moved to Los Angeles. He eventually married his mortal nurse, Gloria. ("Tabitha's Weighty Problem") ("Tabitha's Party")
