Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Camelot_2000 I admit I've always been a fan of this show ever since I was a little kid. I also bought the DVD box set for the entire series. Every character that came on (particularly Samantha's family) had me grandly entertained.The music score, not to mention the special effects for magic, were major highlights of the show. It got overwhelming at times and you can't help, but feel sorry for mortals like Darrin, who got changed into a monkey, mule and other things whenever he annoyed his mischievous mother-in-law. I'm surprised he never saw a psychiatrist for all he's been through.This program is definitely an excellent depiction of American middle class suburbia of the 1960s looking so dignified, rich and "white". Darrin worked for an advertising company called "McMann and Tate" and was best friends with his boss which was a major highlight,considering the many times he got fired and rehired due to Samantha's zany magical antics with her meddling family.Larry Tate, Darrin's boss, proved himself to be a good, but somewhat, nosy friend who always showed up at the house at the wrong times, especially when Endora turned Darrin into something. I mean, how easy is it to hide the fact that your husband is turned into a jackass?As I watched my "Bewitched" marathon recently, I learned that "spells" were hard to "cure" with Samantha's seemingly incompetent coven. They'd cast it to upset Samantha's household and later have major trouble in reversing it to set things straight again. They'd have to look up the likes of Dr. Bombay, or their ancient witchcraft books, to seek a cure.With each episode, they always found a solution to the problem and everyone was all happy and satisfied again. A great piece of TV nostalgia, but you can't help, but notice how "white bread" the Stevens household appears to be.Larry is always talking about saving five hundred thousand dollar accounts from prospective clients and arranges a "formal dinner" either at his fancy house or at the Stevens'. It's all a dignified "tie & dress" affair with upper crust conversations like "golf" going on. Can anyone who isn't in the same caliber as them fit into that? I think not.Regardless of the social setting, this is a wildly entertaining classic show with superior special effects of it's day. For older folks, you can't help, but feel nostalgia while watching it. Samantha Stevens has gotta be the best wife there ever was. She can even zap you onto the moon for a holiday if she wanted to. I highly recommend it.

screenman Now I believe I saw the very first show, when curiously wide-eyed Dick York's character discovered that his wife was a witch. From then onwards I was hooked. I also developed a juvenile 'thing' for Elizabeth Montgomery. She conveyed just the right mix of maturity, fun and allure. Witch or no, she seemed like the ideal partner. Special-effects were of the simplest. The entertainment rested entirely with the comedic situations and the chemistry between the characters.I think the early series was inevitably the freshest, with the more original ideas, even though they were black & white and had lower production values.The theme music was also one of my favourites. It's light-jazz melody had a warm homeliness that seemed to idealise the affection in their relationship.

Little-Mikey It's so hard to believe that Dick Sargent was the first choice to play Darrin because Dick York was so perfect! Dick York's "Darrin" was a loving and faithful husband. But he was far from perfect! He was neurotic, hot headed, eager to cut corners and forever putting his foot in his mouth. Endora was such a witch! But that never stopped Darrin, a mere mortal, from giving her his piece of mind, and paying dearly for his arrogance. Dick Sargent was OK. But unlike Dick York, he was not about to let his "Darrin" endure the humiliation that Dick York's "Darrin" had to endure. And this pretty much ruined the show. Paul Lynde as Uncle Arthur was simply too funny for words. He could leave me in stitches just by giving the time of day. Then there was Bernard Fox as Doctor Bombay.Elizabeth Montgomery was the perfect Samantha. In spite of her being extremely beautiful, she could also portray the plain housewife effortlessly.It was the perfect show for the time, with all its silliness. Such a show would never make it today. But in 1964 (the year of the monster, the same year that THE MUNSTERS and THE ADAMS FAMILY premiered) it fit quite well and lives on as a delightful piece of classic television.Rest in peace, Dick York, Elizabeth Montgomery, Paul Lynde, Agnes Moorehead and Dick Sargent.

sonya90028 Bewitched was one of several 60s comedies, that had fantasy themes. Other shows in the same genre, included I Dream Of Jeannie, The Adams Family, The Flying Nun, Mister Ed, My Favorite Martian, etc. Bewitched's shtick revolved around an ordinary housewife, who had extraordinary magical powers. Samantha Stevens happened to be a witch, who was married to her husband, Darrin. Darrin was a regular guy (a mortal in witche's lingo) without magical powers, just like the rest of us. Darrin had to deal not only with the powers of his wife, but also his wife's many relatives, including his little daughter, Tabitha. Samantha and her witchy family, were always twitching their noses and conjuring-up chaos, for poor Darrin. He was forever trying to hide Samantha's, and her family's, supernatural mischief from his boss, Larry Tate.Elizabeth Montgomery was excellent in her role as suburban wife, mother, and witch, Samantha Stevens. There were two different actors who played Darrin, throughout the series. Both of them, coincidently, had the same first name; Dick. Dick York, played Darrin early in the series. Dick Sargent, stepped into the role of Darrin, after Dick York left the show in 1969. To me, Dick York was better than Dick Sargent, as the high-strung, overwrought Darrin Stevens. Other supporting cast members, really shone in this series. Especially David White as Darrin's demanding boss, Larry Tate. And also Agnes Moorehead, as Samantha's meddling mother, Endora.Bewitched was a very entertaining show, that was enjoyable for all ages. And it's really stood the test of time. I highly recommend it, for fans of '60s sitcoms.
