S01 E24 Join us for a special 60th-anniversary celebration of the classic TV show "Bewitched" as we discuss the beloved sitcom's place in television history. In this first of 2 episodes, we'll concentrate on the show's first 5 years, a/k/a - the Dick York era. We kick off the episode with some fun singing and then embark on a nostalgic journey through the rich history and trivia of this beloved series. We explore the show's origins, the initial casting choices, and the memorable pilot episode "I, Darren, Take This Witch, Samantha." We also reminisce about characters like Uncle Arthur and Aunt Clara, whose limited screen time left a lasting impact, and reflect on how the show has continued to bring joy and charm to our lives.
Did you know Elizabeth Montgomery's performance as Samantha was groundbreaking but went unrecognized by the Emmys? We take an in-depth look at her incredible but Emmy-less legacy, and the baffling decision by the Academy to leave her Emmy-less. We also discuss the impact of Dick York's replacement by Dick Sargent on the show's ratings and how Montgomery's partial ownership of "Bewitched" made her quite wealthy despite the lack of Emmy recognition. Additionally, we touch upon Montgomery's early career, her privileged upbringing, and her mentorship under Bette Davis, which all led to her iconic role in "Bewitched."
Curious about how "Bewitched" came to be and the fascinating stories behind its cast? From its iconic instrumental theme song to the multiple cast changes, we discuss how these shifts made it feel like two different shows. From on-set anecdotes to episode highlights like "A is for Aardvark" and "Allergic to Macedonian Dodo Birds," we cover the comedic brilliance and lasting impact of "Bewitched" on television. Plus, don't miss our detailed recap of the hilarious Aunt Clara blackout mishap and a teaser for part two of our celebration, where we'll explore the transition from Dick York to Dick Sargent and Elizabeth Montgomery's thoughts on "I Dream of Jeannie.
