The Trouble With Miss Switch is a two-part animated special by Ruby-Spears that aired in 1980 during the ABC Weekend Special block. The special is based on a 1971 children's story by Barbara Brooks Wallace.Rupert Brown and Amelia Daley are students at Pepperdine Elementary School who discover their new substitute teacher, Miss Switch (Janet Waldo), is a witch with a talking Familiar cat named Bathsheba. Miss Switch was condemned by an spiteful Witch named Saturna (June Foray) and her Compute-O-witch, who has taken control of the Witches' Council and is facing banishment if she cannot prove her innocence. Determined to help Miss Switch, Rupert and Amelia come up with a plan to show the other Witches that Miss Switch really is a good witch after all.After the initial airing, the special proved to be quite popular and was frequently re-run. So much to the point where a second special based on the sequel story, Miss Switch To the Rescue was produced in 1982.

Hot Teacher: Before meeting Miss Switch for the first time, the boys all assume she'll be another crotchety old meanie, but everyone's stunned when they see how beautiful she is.

Friend to All Children: Miss Switch adores children, and quickly becomes popular among the Pepperdine students for being a fair-minded and nice teacher who treats all of her students with respect and fairness, including the more obnoxious bullies. Rupert and Amelia contest to the Compute-O-Witch that Miss Switch's ability to spread love and joy to others makes her an excellent and original witch.
