Reviews

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.
Stebaer4 Yes it starts off enchanting and entrancing but like any show that might overstay its welcome that might be why?It remakes one episode twice and others maybe once?Like The Thrice made Benson Sleep Easy Mattress episode once in B/W with Dick York once in Color with Dick York and once more in Color with Dick Sargent.One episode with Dick York in B/W and the other in color of Dick Sargent Re:The Theme of which he said "I can't be in 2 places at once."As A source I'd read indicated With The Loss of Dick York as Darrin it began to sink in the ratings.Dick York had to leave when he fell down on the set and had to be carried away on a stretcher.So it went Darrin Free for a # of episodes including The Witch trial episode in which Samantha,Tabitha,Serena,& Uncle Arthur were stripped of their Powers by The Witches Council But when Samantha pointed out saying "You can take my powers away but I'll still be a witch." Endora then said "Samantha!"then she said Have you not forgotten The time of The Witch Trials of Salem and those mortals that got the blame for what we did?" Then that got the Witches Council to return their powers. But then only to eventually have to be true to the Witch Wife and Mortal Husband Premise they had to get a new Darrin eventually.Also as I'd heard on an A&E follow up originally Dick Sargent who'd succeed Dick York was also originally up for the Part of Darrin but wasn't available at the time.Many People like this one person I know were fooled but not me.I had even liked the 2nd Darrin better than the first because of how he was not Whiny even though as my Mom said he's supposed to be but instead he's depressed and opposing.But anyone can only imagine how different the show would be if Dick Sargent was available for the role on in 1964 and have it til its end in 1972 & maybe beyond?It was said that Elizabeth Montgomery turned down a 9th Season to short and to this point take of time from acting +. Yes we also know other shows that last an average of 9 Seasons Bewitched Didn't last that last long but nearly did and then fell short.I also liked the episode in which the 2nd Darrin had outsmarted Endora When she said "There's a mortal somewhere in this house find him and turn him into a Mouse." Then as it turned out Darrin had stepped out through the back door and his guest got turned into a mouse instead.Enchantingly,Stephen"Steve" G. Baer a.k.a."Ste"of Framingham,Ma.USA.P.S. Like through any Magic and/or gift of gab I got Ste as The result of my Big Brother J.Kevin being a year older than me and unable to say Stephen at the time as I'd told from time to time and here online.
aidan kane As a kid, I liked the magic, as an adult I like the sophistication of the writing. The latter seasons devolved into silly stuff, Endora constantly screwing with Darrin, Dr. Bombay, and my least favorite character, Esmerelda. However, watch the first season and it's smartly written. The look of the show is beautiful,too. If you're a fan of early to mid 1960's American style, you'll love it. I'm constantly blown away by how elegant and swanky Samaantha and Darrin were. There's even a bit of drama thrown into the mix(like when Darrin's dad dated Endora-yes, it happened) All in all, the cast and the writing were top notch and remain enjoyable to watch.
trevixarama I grew up as a child watching Bewitched and was loved it so much, as an adult i have found myself totally Bewitched by this TV sitcom and i can truly say its one of the best series of all times. Elizabeth Montgomery stars as a witch who marries a mortal and tries to live a normal mortal live without the use of witchcraft however has to resort to using it to get herself or Darrin out of all sorts of trouble in their day to day living. This series brings warmth, love and laughter to us in a way no other series has and i still re watch it every chance i have and also own the complete DVD box set. Im also so happy to see the new generation taking a liking to it which will hopefully keep this series forever alive.
