'Winsome Witch' was produced in 1965, the year that more or less marked the end of Hanna Barbera's talking animal characters, which had been their staple up until then. After this they would turn increasingly to humans and super-heroes in the late 60's. In fact Winsome Witch would probably have been their first show with a human lead, if not for Johnny Quest.

Winsome was a kindly, unthreatening witch who lived deep in the forest, used magic to do housework, rode a broomstick, helped people out, and got along well with kids. Her catchphrase, uttered to invoke magic spell, was "Ippity Pippity — Pow!"
