All that,and you never showed the scene that took it off the air.I hate liars.
Clickbait!
@@jillcrato1680 Glad I read this before watching thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to write this, this video may have my 'click' but it only has 34 seconds view time from me, I understand view time is important for the RUclips algorithm.
Exactly, this is just a load of bollloks.
SPOILER ALERT: This video never tells you what scene supposedly forced "Bewitched" off the air.
They never do they always just show them in a skimpy outfits. I never watch any of this **** 'cause I know it's all fake. You think she ever swore that white dress that they're showing you, no way!
Thank you! You saved me 25 minutes!
aaaaaand that's why this video gets a 👎from me. 😆
Thank you. Downvoting the vid.
Videos like this are why we have the "Don't recommend this channel" option. I think I'll exercise said option right now. Bye, y'all.
There was no infamous scene that took the show off the air. by 1972 which was the shows
final season Elisabeth Montgomery chose to walk away from the show and move on to other things. I wish this site would get its facts straight .
Click bait
My thoughts exactly
I'm glad you said that I was driving myself crazy looking for this scene that I couldn't find. That's ridiculous and misleading
@@susycook4439 It's all clickbait B S.
I totally agree with you and I didn't see an infamous scene either that the narrator has listed on this video so if anyone knows what that would be, not that I believe myself there is one please let me know.
I'm grateful for everyone commenting because there's way more interesting history about the show and the people involved in it than there is in the video. 💯
The only thing he insists upon, is the supposidly curse on the show, got tired of it.
@@mariedelange1179right?!?!?!?...he stresses how everyone is pretty much nicotine freaks, a minute later he questions if they were diagnosed with cancer due to witchcraft or unhealthy living 😂😂😂 OH MY GOD, this narrator is terrible each time I watch a clip he's involved in 😡
I was teen had big crush on her so hot!
Do not waste your time. No scenes that took this show off the air.
When I hear this guy narrating, I close immediately and look for a shorter version. This guy goes on forever.
At least his wife is happy, if no one else.
@@craigsaunders7037 LOL. V good.
Increasing the playback speed helps. It's still slow at 1.75
a 25 minute video for this trivia is way to much time to invest, ditto
He's also just annoying. His intonation is weird.
CLICK BAIT, no "imfamous scene"
Why is RUclips suggesting I watch this shit?
And, will not listen to this Clown.
I don't know but they're still at it
When you see it------------Call it OUT! Click bait---Click bait---Click bait----Click bait---Click bait---Click bait---Click bait---Click bait---Click bait---Click bait
"only lasted 8 seasons" - that's a miracle with today's shows 😂
Video is definitely worth not watching
The tag line of the scene that got the show canceled was never mentioned or shown. Why these things piss me off!
Thank you! You saved me from having to slog through the rest of this boring video. I hate click bait!
I wish I had read it in time to know. Won’t be watching this persons content again.
Click bait......
I hate click bait crap.
you really wanted to see that did you?
the image used would have been something of an issue in the 50s maybe...but not the 60s.
"Lasted ONLY 8 seasons", he says. If a t.v. show lasts 4 seasons it is a very successful show. 8 seasons means an extraordinary show.
Clip-bait betrayal by not showing the scene in question. Detestable.
@@jedgould5531 There was no such scene -this is one of those channels that needs to be reported and removed from RUclips.
doug thompson: The fact that its popularity has lasted for over 50 years is testament enough to how beloved it was and is!
Thank you. When I heard that I thought, in this universe 8 seasons is impressive. What rock did the writer crawl out from under? Puzzling.
Not many make it to soap opera levels, like 20, 30 even 40+ years. No scene that made it fail, sadly. Then again, having seen every episode and then some, I knew there was no such scene, going in. Take this guy down, please?
Bewitched was actually renewed and all the actors/actresses went home expecting to come back but then got notice it was cancelled. The suspected and most likely reason is that
Elizabeth Montgomery, who was married to the producer, began having an affair with the director.
Only 8 seasons? 254 episodes? A new definition of "only".
Its a shame that in each of the 4-5 times you talked about photos 'Pictured Here' there were only random images that had no relationship to what you were talking about.
I think "viral" nater is lying on purpose, looking for comments that we can agree on and like because they are obivious, legit criticisms.
cut the b.s. nater, just make sincere content and quit mudding the waters of youtube for views and likes. "but everyone's doing it..."
I agree, badly made show
Too bad RUclips quit posting count of dislikes.
@@TomCee53 there's an extension for the browser to let you see it. RUclips didn't actually remove it from the page's code, just it's display.

This video is a great example of why we need the downvotes made public again
Really, he completely omitted Alice Ghostly (Ezmerelda) but mentioned Marcia Wallace (as Darren's assistant) who was only in one episode. This is just a fount of misinformation. About half way through, the pictures go on their merry way completely oblivious to the narration being said.
Yep... and as of today (2023-09-05) the stats are 15K upvotes, and 75K downvotes.

Only 8 seasons!? That’s a long run my friend
A lot of shows from that era were lucky if they lasted for two.
Another channel to seriously avoid.
Elizabeth Montgomery wanted to leave after eight seasons, despite the network's desire for more, due to her failing marriage and her desire to move on from acting.
Well the so called infamous scene is never even mentioned, it is a great video with all sorts of things I didn't know but the hook that made me watch not a word.
Exactly. A near total waste of time.
Same
Exactly. 🙄
Thanks for the comment, I figured it was clickbait so I immediately looked for a comment calling it out. So I didn’t have to waste my time.
Thank you
The narrator said the show itself ONLY lasted 8 seasons. 8 seasons is a very long time when you consider some of the most popular sit coms from the 1960’s only lasted around 3 years.
@Rev Rotunda This RUclips channel always has this type of video with FALSE info in it, usually it isn't just false, it's outright LIES, like this video content.
8 is a long time in any period for sitcoms
Gilligan’s Island was three years (99 episodes).
It actually said the show was renewed for seasons nine and ten, but Montgomery wanted out. He actually said it out loud. You can hear it clearly, beginning at the 8:40 mark.
@@jamesrkrau2481 only 3 ? and so popular.
To be factual, during the last season, Montgomery was married to director-producer William Asher. During that season “Montgomery fell in love with director Richard Michaels. Their resulting affair led to the end of both of their marriages, as well as the end of the series.” The ensuing friction and divorce contributed to the ending of the show. Tragic, but true and easily confirmed by a web search. Still, one of my favorite shows.
Homewreaker.
Post was intended to illustrate that idolizing celebrities simply for their Hollywood persona is never appropriate. Ms.Montgomery, other celebrities, like we all, are capable of positive behaviors and tragic failures. We’re all a work in progress and idol status is rarely, if ever justified.
William Asher also cheated on Elizabeth Montgomery with young starlets. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Wow..thanks!
That, plus she mentioned not having "zing" for the role anymore.
She truly was a very beautiful woman.
The narrator begins with: "The show itself ONLY lasted EIGHT seasons..." Is that a sardonic joke? Very, very few shows last EIGHT full seasons. That's a not a one-season flop----that's a ratings-busting winner. This dude is a trip.
When Barbara Eden was told she was compared to Elizabeth Montgomery, she said then “She was in good company.” They were both classy ladies.
Barbara Eden was indeed a classy lady ! Her show let out at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach in 1979 or 80 and she was going for the elevator so I ran and squeezed in at the last second and was standing right next to her. Packed in like sardines I asked her , " can I go back to your room with you"? To which she responded in that "Genie" voice we love so much, " oh no, I'm sorry, no, but I am flattered" ! I was only 17 or 18 and high as hell ! But it was a very CLASSY reaction by her. I'm sure she's had to turn down thousands. I've always wondered what the other people in the elevator thought ?
I wasted 30 minutes of my remaining days on this earth. You stole from me!
What is he talking about when he says, “We’ll never know how the show would have been different if Dick Sergeant was cast as Darren?” When Dick York left the show due to intense back pains from an old injury, he was replaced by Dick Sergeant as Darren!
I think he is referring to how different the show would be if it was like this from the very beginning. Its not really rocket science to understand that. Dick didnt play darren from the very beginnikg, but the content creator is asking how different things would be if that where the case.
Came here for the scene... noticed its 25 min video, went straight to comment section.
This show was not forced off the air. It ended because Elizabeth Montgomery was tired of doing the show.
So where was the scene that took it off air????????
Click bait, presumably.
Narrator’s constant references to images that are not in the video are quite annoying.
"Some people weren't ready to accept a new actor in the role of Darrin because they preferred Dick Sargent's performance." Don't you mean preferred Dick York's performance?
This whole video was full of sloppy mistakes like that.
This is 100 percent false!!!!! the reason it went off the air was because it ran its time and was on for 8 seasons etc liz montgomery wanted out and she had a family etc that is most of the reason the show ended it did very well for its time but it was not because of a scene!!!!
So what was the scene? Thanks for wasting our time
When you hear this guy’s voice, just leave. You’ll be glad you did. This is not his only channel either.
Did I miss the part in this clip that showed the episode of why bewhitched was canceled?
Therefore not like thumbs down
No
Dick York did NOT just have severe backpain. He had to let go of the role was because during a videotaping of an episode his problem was so intense he actually collapsed in front of the camera. As for Elizabeth Montgomery she had colon cancer and eventually crossed over as a result. Bewitched did NOT end while Dick York was on the show. Dick York did a very few acting jobs after becoming extremely ill. He was practically broke. He received a very small amount of money in his actor's retirement fund. It was NOT enough for him to take care of his family as he and his wife had 5 children to support The family ended up on welfare. I read Dick York owned a building, and had tenants living in the building. Unfortunately, none of them was paying him rent, & as a result he lost the house after he became extremely ill.. He did become well enough to work, but not as a performer.. He and his wife obtained employment cleaning offices. They also collected recyclables. The family lost their home, moved into a building that somehow was connected to his wife. Unfortunately, I don't remember how, but the house was NOT in great condition but the family somehow managed. Unfortunately Dick York had emphysema and was a heavy smoker. He also was drinking a lot and taking pain killers to abstain from the pain, making his problem worse.
York was Great in "The Twilght Zone"
From country to pop?
Thank you for that actual information. It's always heart-wrenching when someone we almost felt we knew, and that we saw every night in our lounge rooms, falls into such terribly hard times and poverty. God bless Dick York.
I was a middle manager, alternating with being a trained teacher, and I had a patchy but respectable career for 20 years or so before my life fell apart with personal issues and mental health issues, a failed business, losing my life savings and the respect of my friends and family, and a ruined marriage. The last half of my life has been a mixture of doing cleaning work in empty buildings at odd hours, and stints on welfare. Sometimes months have gone by and I can't afford a haircut. Things are slowly improving; but the point of saying this is that I can really relate to how Dick York must have felt going from America's favorite husband to cleaning toilets at 6 a.m.
Wow, that is very, very SAD. He was an addicted personality. York was the BEST Darrin and played so well off EM, but especially as Agnes Morehead’s not so favorite son-in-law. Those early episodes were magic, no pun intended.
@@rosskelly8268- God bless you rosskelly! Thank you for sharing your story. Just shows how life can change and put you in a situation you would have never imagined! Praying 2024 is your year for good things to come!
Loved this show and all the cast of characters. Still watch reruns.
"Only lasted 8 seasons". Thats an incredible run. ONLY. LMFAO. smh
WARNING: THIS CHANNEL NEVER TELLS YOU.
I was only 6 when the series started. I thought Elizabeth must be a princess she was so beautiful to me. Then when I discovered she did magic, well what could be better! My fav. show as a kid. I'm 64 now, Yikes!!! ❤🧡💛
That's OK, you lived in the best of times too. So many missed it all. Good post.
Hey, same here Deb...and nothing will ever compare to the shows made in the 60s and 70s!!
@@lumenlarry6197they are still a hit with the children of our younger generation. Better and simpler than just mobile phone hugging stars in modern shows.
Elizabeth wanted to make TV movies. She was a wonderful serious actress.
Only 8 seasons? That's a pretty good run!
"Only eight seasons."
Only? Are you kidding ?!?!
Thank the comment section, you guys saved me from wasting my time.
Larry Tate, Dr. Bombay and Uncle Arthur were my absolute favorite characters. Great, great, actors. RIP all.
Agree
I loved Aunt Clara lol
@@marifeely1694 Oh yeah, really funny!
They left out two cast members. Georgia Tobias played Gladys's long-suffering husband Abner, and Alice Ghostly, who played the timid Esmeralda.
I forgot a third. Maurice Evans,.who played Sam's powerful warlock father Maurice.
'Dr Bombay - emergency, emergency , come right away'... I love that
Dick York was injured in the 1959 film "They Came To Cordura", an incident involving a railroad handcar, his back was wrenched very badly while moving the handle.
Thank you, I recall which movie it was.
Thank you, I had no idea what movie it was although I am familiar with the story about the handcar.
Loved Bewitched. Liked the first Darren but, the 2nd was too hateful. So - where was the one scene that took Bewitched off the air?
the second had a less interesting face and character. he was bland. I can't remember him being hateful though. Teh original Darren had a real exaggerated personality and the second one was hired because he looked like him.
You missed Paul Lynde as Samantha's auto instructor...then again, you never showed "The Infamous Scene That Took 'bewitched' off Air"
ONLY lasted 8 seasons?! That is highly successful buddy.
I think the narrator screwed up when he said that “Richard Sargent” was almost cast as Darrin. Sargent WAS Darrin for 3 seasons. Richard Crenna was the actor who turned down the role, but no photos of him were presented during the narration.
Elizabeth Montgomery... great actress and absolutely gorgeous. Loved her.
I've read and heard many times that while Darrin and Endora did not get along on the show, off set, Dick York and Agnes Moorehead were very good friends.
Agnes moorehead didn't like Dick Sargent, who played the second Darrin. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I don't know what everyone's complaining about. The narrator is direct and to the point, and keeps everything relevant 🙄
"Only" lasted 8 seasons. 7 seasons is usually considered the life span of a successful series.
Only 8 season's? That's actually a pretty good run. Dahhh
I'M GOING TO AT A TIME OF 02:39MST

WIRDACANT.
BEWARE THERE IS NO SUCH INFAMOUS SCENE IN THE VIDEO.
The narrator got his "Richards" mixed up. I think at 1:40 he meant to say "Richard Crenna" when he said "Sargent" was in the running for Darrin, not Richard (Dick) Sargent - who later became Darrin. He later said Sargent later passed on the role to play Richard Crenna (the real actor???) while showing a picture of Richard Crenna.
I thought the narrator had poor enunciation
This video had the pictures mixed up all the time. Dick York was the real actor of Darrin and Sargent later took it in season six.
@@jayaom4946 Exactly. This truly dreadful video is just a long string of poorly researched inaccuracies and ill timing with irrelevant photos.
You forgot to mention that her husband was the director not just the writer and the producer but he was also one of the directors. You've left out a lot of the reasons why be which ended in a lot of the reasons why Montgomery was very unhappy...
I love your comment "only lasted 8 seasons"😅
Any series today would kill for 8 seasons.
Even as a little kid, I had trouble with the new darrin
TOTAL CLIK BAIT! The show was NOT TAKEN OFF THE AIR !
After Original Darren quit due to back pains, the show never really took off again cuz Darren #2 basically sucked! No pun intended !
But the other characters held the show together from Agnes Moorhead’s character, to Uncle Arthur , Aunt Clara was incredibly funny, of course Gladys Kravitz was great too. Plus you still had the Tate’s, and Tabitha #1+2 who wete both adorable ! And Samantha? Elizabeth Montgomery all males had a crush on her ! She had such great facial expressions.
Love the original show !!
Bewitched lasted 8 seasons. If you sat down and watched them all now in one sitting from start to finish - time will go faster than sitting through 25 mins of this.
Bewitched is by FAR one of the BEST shows EVER!! I'll always have my memories. Many feel the same as I do. Btw: how about not taking so long in telling about Bewitched.
This is how you get on my "Do Not Recommend Channel List".
Elizabeth Montgomery just wanted out.
That’s what I thought. She just got tired of the whole thing and said enough.
Also never mentioned was the fact both Montgomery and Moorhead were both on the twilight zone.
So was Dick York
@@Oottee207 Twice.
Both were two of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes - "Two" -w/ Elisabeth Montgomery and Charles Bronson Then Agnes Moorhead in "The Invaders" The beleaguered Pioneer Woman fighting tiny aliens FROM EARTH! Both Masterpieces of Classic T.V.!!!
@@Oottee207 Yes! -Dick York in "A Penny For Your Thoughts" TWZ. Fantastic Story!!!
David White, who played Larry Tate was also on an episode of the Twilight zone. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
THE ANOUNCER OF THIS VIDEO MUST JUST LIKE THE SOUND OF HIS OWN VOICE, I WATCHED THIS DRIVEL TWICE, WHAT SCENE ENDED THE SHOW? NEVER SHOWED IT, WAS IT BECAUSE THE ACTOR CAME OUT AS GAY? WHAT? WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME. 10 THUMBS DOWN.
"Bewitched" was taken off the air in 1972 primarily due to the lead actor Elizabeth Montgomery's desire to pursue other projects. Montgomery, who played the main character Samantha Stephens, wanted to move on from the show, and her marriage to the show’s director, William Asher, was also falling apart, making another season virtually impossible. While there were rumors and theories about the show's cancellation, including the idea that it was because of low ratings or that the show was "cursed" due to the untimely deaths of several cast members, these were not the main reasons for the show's end. The series had a successful run for eight seasons, and Montgomery owned 20% of "Bewitched," earning royalties from the show for the remainder of her life. However, by the end of the 1970-1971 season, the ratings for "Bewitched" had noticeably dropped, and the show did not rank in the list of the top thirty programs, which may have also contributed to its cancellation.
Dick York and Dick Sergeant both played Darren! The original Darrin had severe back problems.
Sargent
These classic TV shows outweigh anything on TV today, Sitcoms back then were gold
TV today is garbage
the news is propaganda. If it's US politics its BS.
the shows are mostly bad.
i watch older movies or sports or sometimes re runs of old sitcoms.
mostly i don't watch much TV at all...frequently questioning why i even pay for cable.
@@MPlain we cut the cord quite some time ago and got an android box. Our TV viewing now is what we are interested in. Network TV is garbage! My wife and I watch a lot of British series now - way better than anything in North America! All the shit here is "reality TV" - pure GARBAGE
You got that right 100 percent!!
Hollywood no longer wanted to focus on "family." Don't know why....
“Only 8 seasons”
That’s good. That’s a good run. Why must we make everything so negative?!
I really loved when I was a kid watched it everyday after school along with some other shows like star trek
Bewitched was canceled when I was in the first grade
The best TV series ever made.
Dick York had major back problems. It happened during a movie when he had his hands on a rail car. He was pulling it when someone below pulled it very fast, and it ripped his muscles bad. He was very much hurt and had back problems until his death.
What happened to the infamous scene? The show would be on the air in 1973 if the cast really wanted to keep doing it.
That's just AOL sucking you in. They do that a lot.
I thought so too!!

SANFORD And Son, All in the Family .TV changed those years .Ratings rule & people's sense of humor was changing in the early 1970's.
How many times is this narrator going to call these actors by the wrong name???
Best TV show ever made for those left who got to live and actually see it back in the 1960s.
So many dates and names were listed incorrectly…. And the “scene that took Bewitched of the air” was never shown.
Way to make sure I watch your channel again….
These videos that have deceiving titles should be taken down. Spent 25 minutes plus ads to see “the scene that took bewitched of the air” only to find no mention of it whatsoever. So many better ways o could’ve spent that time.
Loved that woman ❤
Agnes Moorehead was a part of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theater on the Air, and played Margot Lane alongside Welles’ leading role in the original The Shadow radio program in 1937. Welles left after the first year, but Moorehead stayed on for another year. She’s also in several scenes of Citizen Kane. They remained close until Agnes died, with Welles following shortly behind. As if that weren’t enough, she was also the central character in a Twilight Zone episode with no dialogue. There was no dialogue in the episode until the final seconds, and it didn’t come from her. Amazing woman.
In those days there where a magnificent bounch of women actresses :- Celeste Holmes, Ms. Bette Davis, Sarah Bernhard, Anna Magnani. Simone Signoret not to mention Olivia de Havilland in the Heiress , etc etc
That episode is The Invaders....one if my favorite TZ episodes....great twist
Was that the one with the miniature aliens and saucer ship?
@@communityorganizer5645 yup
Agnes portrayed Charles Foster Kane's mother in "Citizen Kane." She was a brilliant actor. She's the villain in "Dark Passage," making Bogart miserable.
I remember having a crush on her while I was growing up with the show , I see why I thought I was in love with her .
Bringing back so many memories that I miss so dearly .
I dream of genie was another who stole my heart , ladies respectful of each other and those days peace was a normal way of life.
I had a big crush on her too. I was something like eight years old.
Elizabeth Montgomery and David White were both on The Untouchables, The Rusty Heller Story.
Horndoggin' it, too!
Bell book and candle is one of my all-time favorite movies. If you've never seen it you should definitely watch it. Magical 🕷️
I even remember the name of Kim Novak's cat, it was Pyewacket (Not sure of the spelling).
@@ruthjames715 they don't make it like that anymore. Hope they never remake that one if they do power racket will end up on a barbecue or something crazy LOL..🙀💥
Is that with the dreadful Novak?
Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart were terrific in the film. They were also in the film, vertigo. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I just took your insiders tip, wow, what an enjoyable;e film.
Thank you
*Viral Nater:* The actress who played Gladys Kravitz was Alice Pearce, not "Bernadette whoever you said she was", and you're missing some photos where you say "...shown here.".
Elizabeth was gorgeous
There's no Infamous scene. The public stop watching it.
Another example of 'trash' mags of us trying to destroy the memory of Elizabeth Montgomery.Shame on them.
Eight years is a long run for a tv show.
When, I was just a little kid, I was in love with The Biological woman Divine feminine, Bewitched she kept me from thinking negative and had me create magic.
It lasted "only" eight seasons?!? I'd say that was pretty remarkable! Consider that I Love Lucy only ran for six seasons!
The scene that took bewitched off air.
Narrator: "10 000 years ago...."
Can everybody who gets clickbaited please report this?
Didn't mention that Agnes Moorehead also died of cancer. However I think she got hers from working on "The Conqueror" about Gengis Khan. That movie made in late 1950's starred John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and of course Agnes was in it too. They filmed in New Mexico dessert area to look like Mongolia, as sand color and terrain is very similar. Unfortunately for these actors and stage crew members, is this fact... They were pretty much in barren Atom bomb, nuclear testing area. Yup, all the 1940's and 1950's radiation from all these tests was right around them! Plus they were on this "set" for many months filming, while staying in trailers, tents, etc.
Many actors and hands stated it was very windy some days and there was dust all over. Was radioactive particles they breathed in for some time, and were all quite exposed for staying such a long time of months. I also wonder where they were getting all their water from, too?! My point... Wayne, Hayward, Moorehead, and like 90% of all the actors, crew and stage hands all eventually died of various kinds of cancer. Great, rarely seen movie, but in a way it's too bad Howard Hughes even made this film. So many people got ill and died from making this movie! So sad! Rarely know fact... Susan Hayward died of a cancerous brain tumor, and her last movie she made was about a woman with a brain tumor and was titled "I want to Live". Again, so sad. A great actress who was beautiful, talented and I truly like watching her old films.
😲
I remember that movie with John Wayne playing Genghis Khan, I personally felt like John was just to nice a guy to play a world conquerer like the Khan, felt like you mize well have Jim Neighbors playing Adolph Hitler, the two personalities were to different, but then that was just my thoughts 🐈🐈🌺🌺
Wow
My dad was a lieutenant colonel in the Marine corps in command of one of those nuclear bomb tests in New Mexico in the 1950s. My mom showed me an old newspaper clipping regarding the event. He was 5 mi from ground zero. He died from an accidental death at age 50. So we don't know if he would have gotten cancer. I used to joke that I glow in the dark. Which I attributed to my dad having been at 5 miles from ground zero prior to my birth. No fallout from it yet, in the family visible. But that's a lot different than being on site working long days shooting a film after the pollution is everywhere. I'm sure that is what made everybody sick.
They filmed "The Conqueror" in Nevada during the testing there, not in New Mexico.
The cancer situation specific to this movie has been researched and argued over many times over the years. There is evidence and conjecture on both sides:
* YES the nuclear tests caused more cancer than usual, and
* NO the cancer occurrence was no more than usual for a population of people who were heavy smokers and other now-known causes/contributors of cancer.
Also, the movie "I Want to Live" was a loose biography of Barbara Graham, a "party girl" who was convicted of the murder of an elderly woman during a robbery, sentenced to death, and then executed in the California electric chair.
The original Darren was AWESOME!
That show was so great. So many hilarious characters!
Aunt Clara was my favorite character. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I couldn't stand the second Derwood, I mean Derran. He was such an A hole. I never knew he was gay though! Lol!
Two actors were an ongoing deal on Bewitched... 2 for Darrin, 2 for Louise, 2 for Gladys
Don't forget 2 Darrin's fathers (Frank Stevens). And of course, the children were played by alternating twins.
Elizabeth was so gorgeous.. Ever since i was a kid i had the hots for her. Hard to believe that she died so young 😢
He often mentioned a picture being on the screen while showing a picture of something else.
Agnes Moorehead was great in everything she did.
