Yes, yes, we've heard it before: Bewitched jumped the broom in season six when Dick Sargent replaced Dick York as Darrin Stevens, the most infamous cast switcheroo in TV history. But if you don't purchase this set, be advised that you will miss what Quentin Tarantino, when he hosted Saturday Night Live, proclaimed to be 'the single greatest moment in television history': Serena's rendition of 'I'll Blow You a Kiss in the Wind' in the episode 'Serena Stops the Show.' Beyond that, this season shows there was still plenty of magic left in this supernatural series. Over the course of the first five seasons, Bewitched replaced Louise Tates and Gladys Kravitzes, so why not Darrin? Besides, Sargent was originally tapped to star as Darrin (but he was contractually bound elsewhere). However, Marion Lorne, who won an Emmy as endearingly addled Aunt Clara, was irreplaceable. So when she passed away, a new character was introduced this season; Esmeralda (Alice Ghostley), a shy witch whose lack of self confidence caused her to fade when she got nervous, and whose good-intentioned spells invariably backfired. If this season suffers from anything, it's more a sense of been there, twitched that. There is yet another Halloween episode that battles the 'ugly witch' stereotype, and several in which a spell gone awry is explained away as a concept for one of Darrin's ad campaigns (why else would there be a unicorn in the Stevens' backyard in the episode, 'Samantha's Yoo-Hoo Maid').And Endora (Agnes Moorehead) continues to cast embarrassing spells on Darrin, like transforming him into a yes-man in 'You're So Agreeable,' or compelling him to speak in nothing but clichés in 'The Phrase is Familiar.' But the writers did conjure up some fresh situations. In a two-parter, Darrin's newfound magic powers go to his head. In 'Samantha's Secret is Discovered,' Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) finally reveals to her mother-in-law (Mabel Albertson) that she is 'a cauldron-stirring, card-carrying' witch. And this season, Samantha gives birth to warlock infant Adam. The adorable Erin Murphy, as daughter Tabitha, gives the show some added kid appeal with her misguided uses of her budding powers. In the season opener, she switches places with Jack (Family Affair's Johnny Whitaker) to climb the beanstalk and confront the Giant. In another episode, she creates a double of Samantha so she can go to the park. In addition to Montgomery's groovy dual role as Serena, this season offers the always-welcome return of Paul Lynde as practical joker and insult zinger Uncle Arthur and Bernard Fox as the cantankerous and contemptuous Dr. Bombay. This set's extras are limited to two random 'minisodes' of The Partridge Family and I Dream of Jeannie.--Donald Liebenson
Product Description:
The magic on Morning Glory Circle continues as Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) Darrin (Dick Sargent) and Endora (Agnes Moorehead) return in Bewitched - The Complete Sixth Season. Notable for being Dick Sargent's first season as Darrin. Samantha a powerful member of the society of witches that has lived apart from (and disdained) humanity for many centuries falls in love with a mortal Darrin Stephens. Much to the disgust of most of her family she vows to give up witchcraft and become an ordinary suburban housewife raising a family (bearing Tabitha and Adam). Never able to give up her heritage completely the friction between the matriarchal moneyless society of her birth and the patriarchal capitalist society of modern advertising drives the comedy over eight seasons and 256 episodes from 1964 to 1971.System Requirements:Running Time: 760 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 043396246973 Manufacturer No: 24697

Rating:  - KEEPING THE MAGIC ALIVE
This is one of the most interesting seasons. With Samantha having a second baby to Dick Sargent and Alice Ghostley making their debuts. Agnes Moorhead, Erin Murphy, and Maurice Evans return as part of the whole Bewitching family. And who could ever forget Sandra Gould as the hysterical Gladys Kravitz and George Tobias as her oblivious husband. I hope Season Seven holds some more interesting surprises!!!
Rating: - Darren switch works for me
I know Dick Sargent is not Dick York, but I think he did a very fine job replacing a quite popular actor.The show had no choice but to replace Dick York who was so physically incapacitated that he could not do the show anymore.I would much rather have had them replace Dick York than to not have Bewitched at all.I would not have wanted to miss Adam, the now talking and animated Tabatha, or more Bewitched magic.Sometimes we humans have to take a lesson from the animals and just adapt.I have ...

Rating: - 1969-1970 season
I am actually happy to see Dick York gone from the picture. He was becoming more annoying to me all the time as Darren. I liked season 5 because he was not in many of the episodes, due to his illness. Dick Sargent is much better with Elizabeth Montgomery, they are more believable as a couple. I also enjoyed Esmerelda and Uncle Arthur. This is maybe my favorite season. I'm looking forward to seeing seasons 7 & 8.
Rating: - As funny as Season 5
I enjoyed all seasons of "Bewitched" and this one is as funny as the previous season. I can recommend it!
I just wish that more of the old TV series would finally get released like "Tammy" with Debbie Watson and Denver Pyle or "The Detectives" with Robert Taylor. I just reread "...but I have Promises to keep" by Ursula Thiess, Robert Taylor's widow, a German actress who survived the bombing of Hamburg during WW II and later immigrated to the US where she met Taylor and spent his last 17 years ...

Rating: - Many Laughs A New Baby And A New Darrin!
Bewitched the complete sixth season is a great season.First, this season starts off with a new Darrin, Dick Sargeant.In my opinion he was a great replacement for Dick York.Second, Sam and Darrin get a new maid, Esmarelda, played by Alice Ghostly.Some great episodes come from Esmarelda's bad magic.Then, Samantha has a baby boy named Adam.This set is fun for the whole family, so sit your kids down, and laugh with Samantha, Darrin, and the whole gang!
