    SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
    CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
    WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
    Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
    StrictlyConfidential IMO - "Bewitched" is one of those "so-funny-I-forgot-to-laugh" TV Sit/Coms from the mid-1960's that I cannot believe actually endured for 8 seasons.And, you can be sure that in those 8 seasons this "one-note-joke's" premise was literally milked to death, over, and over, and over, again.And, speaking about character, Samantha Stevens - If she really was a "good" witch and she had the amazing powers that she did - Then - Why the heck didn't she do some real good in this world? Eh? Like - Stop pollution, or end poverty, etc., etc.'Cause all she ever did was play a demented, little game of deception with the neighbors and deal with the pure selfishness and pettiness of being a sniveling, narrow-minded, little suburban housewife.Hey! I'm not kidding here. This show was truly sickening rubbish. It really was.
    aidan kane As a kid, I liked the magic, as an adult I like the sophistication of the writing. The latter seasons devolved into silly stuff, Endora constantly screwing with Darrin, Dr. Bombay, and my least favorite character, Esmerelda. However, watch the first season and it's smartly written. The look of the show is beautiful,too. If you're a fan of early to mid 1960's American style, you'll love it. I'm constantly blown away by how elegant and swanky Samaantha and Darrin were. There's even a bit of drama thrown into the mix(like when Darrin's dad dated Endora-yes, it happened) All in all, the cast and the writing were top notch and remain enjoyable to watch.
    screenman Now I believe I saw the very first show, when curiously wide-eyed Dick York's character discovered that his wife was a witch. From then onwards I was hooked. I also developed a juvenile 'thing' for Elizabeth Montgomery. She conveyed just the right mix of maturity, fun and allure. Witch or no, she seemed like the ideal partner. Special-effects were of the simplest. The entertainment rested entirely with the comedic situations and the chemistry between the characters.I think the early series was inevitably the freshest, with the more original ideas, even though they were black & white and had lower production values.The theme music was also one of my favourites. It's light-jazz melody had a warm homeliness that seemed to idealise the affection in their relationship.
    sonya90028 Bewitched was one of several 60s comedies, that had fantasy themes. Other shows in the same genre, included I Dream Of Jeannie, The Adams Family, The Flying Nun, Mister Ed, My Favorite Martian, etc. Bewitched's shtick revolved around an ordinary housewife, who had extraordinary magical powers. Samantha Stevens happened to be a witch, who was married to her husband, Darrin. Darrin was a regular guy (a mortal in witche's lingo) without magical powers, just like the rest of us. Darrin had to deal not only with the powers of his wife, but also his wife's many relatives, including his little daughter, Tabitha. Samantha and her witchy family, were always twitching their noses and conjuring-up chaos, for poor Darrin. He was forever trying to hide Samantha's, and her family's, supernatural mischief from his boss, Larry Tate.Elizabeth Montgomery was excellent in her role as suburban wife, mother, and witch, Samantha Stevens. There were two different actors who played Darrin, throughout the series. Both of them, coincidently, had the same first name; Dick. Dick York, played Darrin early in the series. Dick Sargent, stepped into the role of Darrin, after Dick York left the show in 1969. To me, Dick York was better than Dick Sargent, as the high-strung, overwrought Darrin Stevens. Other supporting cast members, really shone in this series. Especially David White as Darrin's demanding boss, Larry Tate. And also Agnes Moorehead, as Samantha's meddling mother, Endora.Bewitched was a very entertaining show, that was enjoyable for all ages. And it's really stood the test of time. I highly recommend it, for fans of '60s sitcoms.
