I have vague memories of watching a cartoon when I was little, about a woman who was a school teacher by day, witch by night. Her name was “Ms. Switch?” and she had a black cat named Sheba that talked. She looked like a brunette Samantha Stevens, and of course, during the day she wore the requisite Clark Kent spectacles so NO ONE could know she was really a good witch who helped children in danger. Am I hallucinating this? It was one of those Hanna-Barbara type cartoons, I think. ---

Was it _Mission: Magic_? That was a Filmation project not Hanna-Barbara. ---

Ah - using Ms. Switch as a clue, and deducing that “Miss” was a more likely honorific for the time period produces: [The Trouble with Miss Switch](http://www.bcdb.com/bcdb/cartoon.cgi?film=56382&cartoon=The%20Trouble%20With%20Miss%20Switch%2C%20Part%20One) which was a 1980 Ruby-Spears production, not Hanna-Barbara, and based on a series of children’s books by Barbara Brooks Wallace. ---

I think that’s probably it. I didn’t know if it was HB or not, just that it had that same kind of look to it. ---

Good old Miss Switch. Haven’t thought about this in years! Here’s what I remember: - It was originally shown on ABC’s “Weekend Special” show on Saturday mornings. - She was a teacher, and there were two children (a boy and a girl) who knew her secret. - She could switch from a teacher to a witch. - As a witch, she could ride on a broomstick and she once used her magic to make the clock speed up so that the school day was over very quickly. - Her nemesis was an evil witch named Saturna (her sister? I can’t remember…) The only parts of the episode I remember are Miss Switch using her magic and the little girl being in trouble and slowly fading away. I would love to see this show again! ---

Of course the villain was the Compu-witch, a Univac sized computer with a pointy hat. ---
