I can't believe that Dick York does not have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his comedic contribution in Television. I can't think of anyone more deserving. Any way to have him nominated to the selection committee??
I thought that Nicole Kidman was perfect for the role of Samantha, but I hated Will Ferrell as Darrin. It kinda ruined it, but he was good at playing a self-centered actor ^^
@ElementalWaterSprite It was originally going to be Nicole and Jim Carrey which would have been great since she looks alot like Liz and he looks a little and can manage the expressions of Dick York. Sadly, not only Ferrell ended up as Darrin, the script was awful and not the real Bewitched one.
@ElementalWaterSprite you and me both,i think they should have gotten Matt Damon he looks more like Dick York than Ferrell.they should have stayed true to the show's roots.
This was Paul Lynde's first appearance on the series [April 1965]- director William Asher had already featured him in an unsold 1962 pilot, "HOWIE" [reworked by Asher as "THE PAUL LYNDE SHOW" in 1972], and an episode of "THE PATTY DUKE SHOW" in 1963, so he knew HOW funny Paul could be here. In fact, it was because of this episode that "Uncle Arthur" was conceived the following season, so that Lynde could return whenever he wanted..and he did for the next six years!
For some reason I love the early seasons of bewitched...it has a hint of the fifties with a pleasant blend of early sixties.
I can't imagine learning to drive in that big boat that Samantha had to! Lol

Samantha is a brilliant character. Liz Montgomery is amazing in that role.

I've actually learnt how American gear sticks work from watching a 1960s television programme!
Life looked so rosy and simple then.

This is hillarious. Love the first season!! They are more "colorful". Can feel the love and warmth. Samantha looks healtier also.
Thanks for posting!!

if you say healthier, maybe you mean younger :D because she was like little chubby and small here but in the next seasons she's tall and thin
wills1624 2 years ago
No, she looks healthier because she is a healthy, full figured size - natural and normal - NOT Chubby! She looked to thin in later seasons.
I agree with an above reviewer. Season 1 is my favorite. A warm and loving married couple with a twist.
