UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

jaroslaw99 To start, I don't see the point of me adding a synopsis about a show that is 50 years old - you only have to watch this show once to get the gist of it. And there are plenty of other synopses anyway.Okay, this isn't about me, but I have to say this for the review to make sense. I felt quite different growing up (as a boy for those who don't know Polish names)and I didn't know what it was. I was about 8 or 9 when the 2nd Darrin appeared and while I couldn't put my finger on it, there was something about him. What a surprise, years later, (but not in a way), to find how he was Gay. Me too! How odd in many years of reviews here at IMDb that topic never came up in the reviews.Okay, a few of my general comments. I don't think I Dream of Jeannie holds a candle to this show. I liked it for all the reasons others have given - EM was beautiful and talented, York was such a good actor, plots were clever although many were formulaic, not all were. It showed respect for the elderly, women, race, a lot of general kindness on a lot of issues mostly by EM.I know some will dismiss these next comments because of the status of a wife in the 60's or perhaps my family was a bit more enlightened about women - farm women contributed a lot and had to be more independent in some respects than city women - but I thought it was ridiculous that Samantha couldn't go to a cousin's wedding. With or without her husband. I didn't like some of the inconsistencies with the authority of the witches council nor was it ever clear why Endora had so much more power than Samantha but so much less than Maurice. Once Darrin knew he married a witch, I thought the idea of Tabitha going to Haggatha's school was dismissed way too quickly. Seems some compromise was in order. Obviously the conflict between witch/mortal was the backbone of the show but Sam stood up for her family a bit too seldom.I know watching episodes back to back gives one a different perspective than watching only one a week and maybe missing a few here and there. Different writers had various interpretations and obviously with 250 episodes that is going to be a LOT of material.Overall, I enjoyed the show but it would be too much to say "loved it" but it was very very well done within the limitations of what can be accomplished in a 1/2 hour show.

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.

Maddyclassicfilms Bewitched was created by Sol Saks and it stars Elizabeth Montgomery, Agnes Moorehead, Dick York, Dick Sargent, Paul Lynde, David White and Maurice Evans.It tells the story of kind and generous advertising man Darren Stephens(Dick York and Dick Sargent)who meets and falls in love with the lovely Samantha(Elizabeth Montgomery).So far so good except after they are married Darren discovers she's a real witch.The two of them are fine about it though but her family are not.It's encounters with Samatha's bizarre family that make this series so great who could forget the mother-in-law from hell Endora(the wonderful Agnes Moorehead),suave father Maurice(Maurice Evans),hopeless aunt Clara(Marion Lorne)and the ultimate prankster the unforgettable,ever lovable Uncle Arthur(Paul Lynde).There's also the bafflement of Darrens boss and friend Larry Tate(David White)over the strange things that always seem to happen when he's around the couple.This is one that never fails to make me laugh(and who could forget the nose twitch),it features a great cast and has some truly memorable moments if you've never seen it buy the boxset because it's worth every penny.

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.
