Bewitched/Chevrolet ~ 1964 1st Season Opening Credits Intro.

[Sheri451]

It would be nice to see these old beginnings and endings again. TV land has screwed their endings badly, they flash by in half seconds. You can't even read who were starring on them.

[PhredofMars]

Yeah it's a pity they never did an animated version of this show. I love that opening sequence so much.

[david2407]

@PhredofMars At least we got to see them animated on that Flintstone's episode!

Bewitched is in a company for PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch shows.

[RQVOutdoorMoovies]

I remember watching BEWITCHED on ABC when I was a kid.Seeing the original opening in the context of the original sponsor is a visual delight....sadly lacking from the DVD collections. Does any one know what tv show showed the final cast commercial? Had to have been in the early 1970's, about the time when I was 10 or 11 or so, when cigarette ads left our USA airwaves. Apparently, the charactors of BEWITCHED touted many products. VERY COOL! I'd rebuy the series if ads were returned.

[Tsubahi]

I was DISAPPOINTED when the cartoon introduction turned into a LIVE-ACTION show when I was a kid!

[Kartoonkid95]

Hanna-Barbera animated this opening. They even used the same character designs when Elizabeth and Darren guest-starred on "The Flintstones".

[Staszu13]

@Kartoonkid95 I remember the Flintstones appearance

[rickjuniorable]

[BerryCherryRose]

@mycatislazy @ULTIMATEFRIENDSFAN I'm 15 and I've loved this show since I was 11! XD

[kduideo]

@Treblinka2012 i agree!!!!!!! contact me.

[imbalm1]

Great clip! Loved the show and the music! Thanks to whoever posted it... but for the sake of accuracy, it shows a "1965" Impala in the ad not a '64, because they changed the model year in September back then, coincidentally the new television season also began in September. So this would have been for the 1965 Season of the show. But who cares, it's a great ad and it was a great car!!!

[Idoljunky32]

I love this! Great find!

[fromthesidelines]

I meant 'Olds', 'coal', because I was referring to 'Olds' previous question...

[LHS91]

This is so cute!

[1952kid]

Theres a wall cabinet ,and the cat is white in this one . other ones have a bare wall and a dark cat.

[coal7311]

fromthesidelines: When you say "Olds", are you referring to Oldsmobile? The intro is from 'see the USA in your Chevrolet'.

[schs1977]

This is from an era when writers actually "wrote". Now all we get is CRAP. So called "reality" shows. I am glad I had memories grownng up watching shows like "Bewitched".

[maleficentdiva]

@schs1977 AMEN! sitcoms nowadays are HORRIBLE people can't act, the writing is horrible, and nothing means anything! I am 26 and I love BEWITCHED Endora was always my fave!  and Liz Montgomery was a fantastic actress. I

[rolex452]

Of all the beautiful, gorgeous, incredible women we have seen on TV in the past 60 years of its history, Elizabeth Montgomery to me was one of the most beautiful, in a quiet, refined way, and so talented...I miss her. The other to top contender? Well, how about Barbara Eden (still beautiful in her sixties).....no "goth" girls here (well, MAYBE Carlolyn Jones as Morticia Addams).

[TheManololadynyc]

love this.. life seemed so simple back then. cute commercials...

[Sheri451]

I miss Elizabeth Montgomery.

[Elphie3000]

i think its clever having it at the beginning... and look how successful chevrolet still is.

[tonywallacess45]

This opening shows how much power the sponsors had. They controlled the way women dressed-nothing revealing-and allowed no sexual references. Of course there were no Black people because they didn't exist then. Actually in one of the later episodes Sam and Darren were at some gathering of witches and there was a Black guy there. Darren looked at Sam confused and her response was a joking:

" we got THEM too." It was kinda funny.

[fromthesidelines]

Thank you, 'Tre'. I am humbled...

[HSOUIXZ]

The 67 Olsmobile Delmont88 beat anything Chevrolet had going at that time. Was my very first car. Had a 425 engine and was a V-8. Guzzled gas unless it was tuned up, and timed right. Helluva car. My Dad drove the Chevy Impala from 1956 to his death in 1989. He started out with a ford model A. But he loved his Chevys

[LinnSondek]

Oldsmobile was perhaps GM's best division, next to Cadillac. In fact, Olds was GM's research and development division (Toronado was theirs first, then it was shared with Cadillac only after it was a proven design, with obvious upgrades to the Caddy version). Unfortunately, the late 70s was the beginning of the end, and it seemed anything Olds developed was hurt by GM's "short-cutting" (the Oldsmobile Diesel of 1978, the Quad 4 engine of 1988, just to name 2).

[2008ljr]

I think Buick was up there with Olds. Olds had alot of problems in the 70s, but Buick seemed pretty reliable.

[Tre404]

Wow, you are so right, LINN SONDEK. When you said Olds was their best division, I said "hey wait, in what era? From the 80s on, it was awful!" Then I kept reading... lol...

You know your stuff!

Funny about Cimarron; in my little kids' mind even back then, it was an Olds to me, and when the Catera came out, I was having deja vu!

"Catera: The Caddy that Sucks."

[herbienbrian]

a 425 in your first car?? Damn, all I have to work with is a 1600cc.

[HSOUIXZ]

it was 1975...i was 18...it was a different time!

[herbienbrian]

lol, I guess so.

[hpmc9]

Ted kennedy made the 1967 Oldsmobile (in)famous

[LinnSondek]

Teddy, the Red Nosed Senator, Had a very shiny car. And if you ever saw it, You were probably near a bar. All of the other senators, wondered how he got his dames. They thought he drank too many, to play in any bedroom games.....(Bob Rivers - sung to the tune of Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer)...

[johe64]

The 67 Delmont is my absolute favorite car! Unbelievable machine. My dream is to get one.

[jewgirl43]

The same for I love Lucy on TV land, in place of the old sponsor logos they put the I love Lucy Logo in the billboards, the TV land openings are the originals without Sponsor logos. I remember the Logos from Bewitched and I dream of Jeannie.

[fromthesidelines]

Because the original sponsors didn't follow the series into daytime repeats and local syndication, 'missohio'; that's why a "standard" version of the opening and closing titles- without the sponsor "billboards" and logos- was used in future rebroadcasts.

[missohio83]

That was cool to see...I never knew the show had sponsors! Why don't they show that anymore??

[BrendaMaria4]

when i have holidays i wake up at 8 am to c it XD i love Bewitched

[JoshuaBrion]

I use to watch that with my mom

[iiuriel]

great

[supremes1964]

the show was from 1964.............remember on October 1964. Chevrolet introduced the

1965 Impala

[AnnaKareCD]

GREAT!

[fromthesidelines]

This is a first season title, 'Olds'- the orchestration of the theme proves it {and the music was reused in syndicated prints whenever the 1964-'66 black & white ["MCMLXIV"] and 1966-'69 color episode titles ["MCMLXVI"] were flashed}. Second season title music was similar to the end credit music that season....

[Tre404]

FROMTHESIDELINES: No matter where I find you on YouTube, your insights are always amazing! I enjoy your comments and share your love for the minutiae and ephemera of classic television.

[sexysagi]

That's a '65 Impala you see in that ad. Just look at the front of it.

[OldsVistaCruiser]

That Chevy at the end looks awfully like a '66, so this show is probably from the second (1965-66) season.

I don't see the little round lights on the very base of the trunk lid as was found on the '65 model.

I do see what looks like the small square wraparound taillights just above the rear bumper as was found on the '66 full-size Chevies.

[kentgraovac]

Oh this is definitely Season 1. Season 2 was livelier, with a big-band sound.

[bongomanfromdalou]

It IS a 1965 Impala...what looks like the taillights on a '66 Impala is actually the chrome trim at the base of the trunk lid, which wrapped around the rear fenders. The 1965 taillights were divided as

0|00 ---- 00|0

the outer tail lights were in the rear fenders, and the backup lights and inner tail lights were in the trunk lid (but not at the base!).

Also, midway during 1965, the "CHEVROLET" in the bowtie became smaller and slimmer (this style was used through the 1970 model year!)

[fromthesidelines]

General Motors' Chevrolet division was the primary sponsor of the series {Quaker Oats was the sponsor on alternate Thursdays} from 1964 through '69; this is a first season title with the original sponsor I.D.'s...and, of course, "Sam" and "Darrin" {and occasionally the "Kravitzes"} plugged their sponsors' products in "integrated commercials" at the end of the episode.

[bette1908]

if u remember all the characters drove chevrolets. Larry always had a Corvette

[blackmetalmeda]

Its the first opening?...

[ZebZachary]

that's really kool
