Bewitched: Season 6

Opening the 6th Season (1969-1970) with Dick Sergeant, replacing Dick York, was going to be both challenging and somwhat of a gamble to see if fans of the show would continue to be entralled and in love with America's (and the world's!) favorite housewife witch!

After a shaky Season Five, the magic is back on track for a delightful and enchanting Season Six of "Bewitched." Dick York was in terrible physical pain throughout his five year run; and he just couldn't continue on the show anymore. It is sad, but it is a fact, people. I wish "fans" would show Dick Sargent more respect. Dick Sargent did a wonderful job as well; and the show DID NOT "jump the broomstick" when Sargent took over the role of Darrin. Does anyone else notice how ATTRACTIVE Dick Sargent is? He and Elizabeth Montgomery developed their own special chemistry and formed a wonderful friendship that lasted until Sargent's death in 1994. Sadly, Elizabeth Montgomery died in 1995. I'm not going to get into the "Dick York Vs. Dick Sargent" debate; which I've always regarded as pointless and stupid. I'll just say that Dick York as Darrin always seemed to me to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of Samantha's witchcraft, while Dick Sargent was exasperated by it. The transition between the two actors was handeled so subtly and smoothly as to be almost inperceptible. The series picks up exactly where it was. Towards the end of Season 5, Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) tells an absent Darrin over the phone that she is pregnant in "Samantha's Good News." At the beginning of the Season Six Opener, "Samantha & The Beanstalk," Samantha is painting a crib, asking Darrin what they should name the new baby. Feeling unwanted, Tabitha (Erin Murphy) switches places with fairy tale's Jack ("Family Affair's Johnny Whittaker) and Samantha climbs up the beanstalk after her. Although a few plots are "recycled" ideas, that is actually a common practice on any long-running Series, and few shows remain as endearing or enduring as "Bewitched." (the 30 episodes of Season Six are Episodes #171-#200 in the Series). The excellent "Bewitched" writers deserve kudos and praise for keeping the basic premise so fresh and fun throughout numerous and varied production changes. The Series quality and creativity remained high throughout Season Seven. As another reviewer so astutely pointed out, boredom DID NOT set in until Season Eight, the final season. But there is no need to jump ahead or despair here. Season Six is especially busy and fun. Alice Ghostley (who guest-starred as maid Naomi in "Maid To Order" in Season Two) joins the cast as maid Esmeralda, a shy, slightly neurotic witch who keeps fading in and out. Marion Lorne, who portrayed the beloved Aunt Clara, died at the end of Season Four. Producers wanted a new character who would also "mess up the magic" as Clara had done-- hence, Esmeralda was created. In "Samantha's Curious Cravings", a very pregnant Samantha magically receives any food she thinks about. When Dr. Bombay (Bernard Fox) attempts to remedy the situation, Samantha disappears whenever she thinks about food, and "pops over" to wherever the food is. In a related episode, the outstanding and hilarious "Samantha's Lost Weekend," Samantha accidentally drinks a glass of "magic" milk, and can't stop eating! I always wondered if Elizabeth Montgomery had fun filming this particular episode-- because it certainly is great fun to watch! Baby Adam is born, leading to more feelings of rejection by Tabitha; which is the plot of another memorable episode titled "Tabitha's Very Own Samantha." Besides Jack & The Beanstalk, other "house guests" in Season Six include Julius Ceasar, The Artful Dodger, Mother Goose, and Santa Claus! After two previous visits to the North Pole, Santa (Ronald Long) and all of his Elves are stranded at Samantha and Darrin's house! Henry Gibson makes a memorable guest appearance as a mischievous leprechaun sent by Endora (Agnes Moorehead) to wreck havoc in the episode "If The Shoe Pinches." Uncle Arthur (Paul Lynde), Daddy Maurice (Maurice Evans) and wild Cousin Serena (Elizabeth Montgomery's other delicious Series role) also add to the fun and merriment of Season Six. After all these decades, from child to adult, "Bewitched" ALWAYS brings a smile to my face.

You may be expecting the jokes to be running a little thin by now,after five seasons, but this is not the case. Here in season six, there is certainly a well-used formula in place by now (Magic spell is cast, a lot of explaining and covering-up is needed to avoid the secret getting out) but somehow it still remains enjoyable and funny. It may take some adjustment getting used to the new Darrin here (Dick Sargent replaces Dick York from the first five seasons) but don't let that put you off. Still huge fun. Collect them all. An inlay gives a brief outline of what you can expect in each episode.

If you've ever seen any of the episodes of Bewitched and laughed then this is for you! It's amazing, fun, entertaining and great comedy. Even 40 something years later this is still as funny as always with funny and likable/lovable characters. It's charming and entertaining and at this low price it's a bargain! If you've never seen it then where have you been? This is one not to be missed!!

This is another classic sitcom from the early days and I don't understand why it is not being shown or repeated on any of the 100s of TV channels that we can have and can access today. The DVD is excellent with good sound and picture quality.

Well 2008 saw Elizabeth Montgomery finally get her star on the Hollywood walk of fame and the release of the sixth season of Bewitched on DVD. Major downside of this season was the replacement of Dick York with Dick Sargent, after Dick York's chronic back pain became too severe for him to film. Ironically Dick Sargent was originally cast as Darrin Stevens but due to other commitments the part was given to Dick York, who made it his own. Sargent isn't the same calibre of actor as York, and he looks so similar to York it's all a bit eerie, but at least he tries and some-one had to take over the role of Darrin. Dick York was bedridden for much of the remainder of his life, from where he founded 'Acting for Life', a private charity to help the homeless and others in need. In the end Sargent just swaps over from York with no comment, despite the possibility that a 'magical' storyline reason could have been used for the difference in appearance.My daughter [14] has all five of Dick York's Bewitched seasons, and for her he will always be the real Darrin. Still as she has watched the first 5 seasons of Bewitched to death, she decided that any new Bewitched is better than nothing. However, unlike York's first five seasons, she hasn't totally taken to the 6th season [as Darrin's just not 'right'], and months on she still hasn't watched all of the episodes. To be honest, although the Bewitched production team were starting to run out of ideas, there's still much to enjoy though. All the other cast members are present: Sam/Serena, Endora, Tabitha, Uncle Arthur, Maurice, Dr Bombay, the Kravitzes, and the Tates. Plus Tabitha's brother Adam is born, Esmeralda the shy maid materializes [sneezing magic as she moves] and there's guest stars such as Henry Gibson and Jack Cassidy. By now Erin Murphy has taken over the Tabitha role completely, as she now looks noticably different to her fraternal twin sister Diane [coincidently they share the same birthday as Elizabeth Montgomery's real daughter Rebecca - June 17th]. In this Season 6 DVD set you get all 30 episodes over 4 DVDs. We opted for the cheaper NTSC region 1 version from Amazon resellers, which had `mini-episodes' of `I dream of Jeannie' and `The Partridge Family' as the extras. So a season still worth owning for any Bewitched fan. That said, the later Bewitched spinoff DVD set 'Tabitha: The entire series' is rated far more highly by my daughter, so check that out as well.
