Before there was Blache Deveraux and her fashion. There was Agnes Moorehead. I loved how Endora proved fashion knows no age. She always wore something that said she had fashion.
I always thought of Blanche Devereaux as Blanche DuBois from ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’, imagining that her mental illness had been successfully treated.
Both Maurice Evans and Agnes Moorehead made their reputations in the legitimate theater, playing in both classical drama , comedy, even musicals by the greatest of dramatists like Shakespeare, Aescalyus, Bernard Shaw. Behrman, etc. The only difference between the two, was one did it on the West End, the other on Broadway. You can see that training and background in their performances of these two perfectly if broadly created characters.
@@qumaralam46 they were not there in previous seasons. The design changed several times and didn't make sense has in some. Sort of like the kitchen closet and little Ricky's bedroom on I love Lucy.
The set and house design were the same until the end of the 6th season. Then it caught fire and was destroyed, so when they rebuilt it, they added the staircase in the kitchen, and the breakfast room off the kitchen. That's why part of the beginning of that season they were filming in Salem, Massachusetts., while the new set was rebuilt.
One thing about this season 8 it was the last season before it went off the air I was so sad and I watch reruns after that because I always love Bewitched and I still do
@@1223steffen Paul Lynde had his own show during the last season of Bewitched. Therefore he wasn't in any episodes that season. I don't know why there were no episodes with either Gladys or Abner Kravitz in them that last year.
Elizabeth! A dream she was. Her mannerisms perfect. Loving! & Sweet. Loyal to Family. Honest! Humane. And loved everyone. Good job for Agnes Moorehead. A beautiful woman. Paul Lynden. MAY God look out for you. Maurice, kind man. And the rest all good.
I remember the episode..where "Sam,Darren,Endora and Maurice"are trying to find the right name for "Sam's"second child..when they find out it's going to be a boy.."Maurice"considers call him "Adam".."Why my father's name was Adam".."Darren"is shocked and replies"Your Father was ADAM" And "Maurice"equally shocked at the vulgar thought that "Darren"thinks that his grandfather is named after the biblical character"Not That Adam!". (LOL!)..I still get a laugh from that type of dialogue.
They should've made a spin off with Samantha's family: Endora, Maurice, Serena, Uncle Arthur, etc. It would've made the Adams family look like the Brady Bunch.
And as she always said that she wanted to do things in the "mortal way.". Besides, if she didnt there wouldn't be a show or premise to work from. That "ying and yang if you will. Or power struggle! Pardon the expression! Lol!
It’s for TV- anyone would love to be married to someone with magic powers. You would never have to work and could be wealthy (magically create money) and travel and do whatever you want! U wouldn’t even have to take an airplane- just wiggle nose.
@Cheetah Panther Get stuffed-who says that expression? Bottom line was she loved Durwood. When you love someone there was compromising and you give up a lot...even magic. The moral of the story is nothing is easy and real life is hard. Maybe she became saved and she started going to church.
I love Bewitched still miss Elizabeth Montgomery and the rest of the cast so glad we still have Erin Murphy, David Lawrence, and Janine Gray(Maurice's secretary)
coolsweetgroovy Thanks to that great cast Bewitched really was awesome! Especially Dick York and Elizabeth Montgomery! I just adore them! Thankfully I have the complete series on DVD! I never get tired of watching it! Bewitched forever!
Poor Darrin. They never get his name right. The funniest one was dolphin. Well I guess it was for comedy. Sometimes in-laws can be difficult. Fortunately, I never had that problem. Let's just say they put the fun in Dysfunctional that family.
K. Anderson It was part of her personal wardrobe. 🙌🏻 supporting actresses had to use their own clothes so everything you see her wear was right out of her own closet
Francis Mercado Yes. I knew that. It's all a matter of opinion. I just think Sargent's Darrin was/is too deadpan for my taste. Let's just put it this way, Dick Sargent tried to play Darrin but failed miserably. Again only my opinion.
@@anitastodolak9882 That may be your opinion. But I TOTALLY agree with it !! Dick Sargent tried his best but he just didn't have the goofy & zany aspects of Darrin that Dick York was able to bring to the role. If someone prefers Dick Sargent in the role, I respect their viewpoint. But I prefer Dick York !!
Andre Godfrey True but I was a youngster and just went with it . I remember one episode where they were all in a castle in England and Darrin was possessed by a horny old ghost . The writing was good and Sargent nailed it with a hilarious performance . Yes they had to adjust a little with Sargent’s less animated Darrin but I thought it was serviceable.
this Maurice behaves like someone who is suffering from mania... the way he speaks, the grandiosity... dramatic, theatrical,... starting 00:30 ... and Endora's reaction... wonderful :D
Yes Dick Sargent was basically in a pinch hitting situation when he took over for the ailing York. A lot of people dump on him but i thought he was okay. Yes York was better but there were a few epsodes where the writers stepped it up and Dick Sargent nailed the material
A lot of people don't know that Sergeant was the one they originally wanted for Darrin but he was unavailable at the time so they chose York. When York could no longer play the role Sergeant took over.
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point. Dick York was a much funnier Darrin than Dick Sargent. Mr Sargent did his best but he just didn't have the comedic chops Mr York did !!
Maurice was on 2 episodes of Planet of the Apes. Agnes Moorehead she was nuclear exposure while making a movie in 1950s called the Conqueror. When an atomic bomb was dropped in the borders of Utah and Nevada desert. She died of ovarian and breast cancer. Along with John Wayne aka the Duke and Susan Hayward.
What's not to love about Elizabeth Montgomery? Absolutely nothing. Beautiful. Blonde with blue eyes. Lovely complexion and smile. Nice body. Short dresses. Great legs. IF she's not female perfection then she's as close as it gets. Bar none.
Absolutely! To me she was and is the most beautiful and talented actress to ever walk the planet! I literally sobbed when she died! She was and is the Mom I've always wanted growing up. Watching her on Bewitched got me through a rough childhood. May she rest in peace
Elizabeth's eyes were green, almost emerald. The rings that she wore were hers and were emeralds. She was a beautiful woman, but most of all, she was a beautiful person. There is so much Samantha in Elizabeth. In other words, Samantha IS Elizabeth. ❤
Those green cabinets were a bit much. I'm surprised I didn't notice back in the 1970s. The "house" had so many oddities, like the fireplace and hearth changing three times overall. And of course that kitchen staircase that never existed, then suddenly appeared.
Eliz manages to look stunning even in hideous early 70s clothes. I think the style of the new Darrin helped to pull the show into the new decade actually.
I've heard this before and I disagree. Maurice Evans portrayed an exaggerated personification of himself: He was known as the last of the "Singing Actors". In no way do I see ANY of Robert Montgomery in Evans. They're as different from each other other as a Ford from a BMW.
The UK broadcast these about 15 years ago, but not as late as the '70s episodes. This looks a lot different on VTR compared to the earlier filmed ones. The quality looks more Diff'rent Strokes.
if so yes they are fake. at times little Tabatha has to go upstairs to her room. using those stairs. i read she had to climb them but they did not lead to anywhere. she has to stand there at the top of the stairs until the scene was over then she came back down.
They are tiny. They look more like a plant stand. I know they were using all the colors in the colonial wallpaper, but the cabinets would have looked better painted white.
tvmoviefan By the looks of Elizabeth's hairstyle in this scene I would guess this is around 1972 or 71. So in that case she would be 39. And yes she have kids 3 in fact. Bill Asher Jr. (1964) Robert Asher (1965.) and Rebecca Asher (1969) All with her then husband and director Bill Asher. As you probably have guessed by now, I'm a MEGA FAN of Elizabeth Montgomery and Bewitched! I just adore her! I have the complete box set of Bewitched. So I consider myself an "authority" on her. And I can usually tell what year it is based on her hairstyles. There were a lot of them! Lol! I hope that helps.
Understood! Nothing better than talking with someone who knows it. I like to think I am an expert on my shows as well but this was not one of them. Have not seen Bewitched regularly in about 30 years. I knew she had 3 children and some of her pregnancies were written into the show and she was married to someone involved in the show. Lucky guy! What a class lady! She was gone too soon!
tvmoviefan. That is soooooooo true! I just adore her! I looked up to her as a mother figure. I didn't have such a great childhood so watching Elizabeth was like an escape for me. I was heartbroken when she died! I remember saying, "Oh my God! Samantha died!" Thank God for Utube and DVDS! Elizabeth will live on forever! God bless her sweet and loving soul! I'm glad that I could be of help answering your questions. Bewitched forever!
The way I felt about Bill Bixby who was like a father figure to me because I grew up without mine. First celebrity who died and made me shed a tear. The Hulk was my show because the small man's raging beast stood up to the bullies and the evil out there. RIP! Elizabeth and Bill Bixby, both gone too soon.
tvmoviefan So sorry about the loss of your father. Please accept my condolences. I can actually relate about the Incredible Hulk. I used watch it not for the action but for Bill Bixby! I thought he was handsome and SUPER CUTE! LOL!
+Callista Soo, the original Darrin ( Dick York ) had to leave the series do to a serious back injury he got while filming the 1959 movie They Came to Cordura with Gary Cooper and Rita Hayworth that York would receive a permanently disabling back injury. In York's own words: "Gary Cooper and I were propelling a handcar carrying several 'wounded' men down [the] railroad track. I was on the bottom stroke of this sort of teeter-totter mechanism that made the handcar run. I was just lifting the handle up as the director yelled 'cut!' and one of the "wounded" cast members reached up and grabbed the handle. I was suddenly, jarringly, lifting his entire weight off the flatbed-one hundred and eighty pounds or so. The muscles along the right side of my back tore. They just snapped and let loose. And that was the start of it all: the pain, the painkillers, the addiction, the lost career. HE was in pain through out the first 4 seasons of Bewitched Because of his back injury, which sometimes caused him to seize up in debilitating pain and York requiring assistance to walk around. some episodes had him in bed or sitting on the couch In spite of his suffering, York maintained a professional presence on camera. While filming the fifth season-episode "Daddy Does His Thing," York fell ill and passed out he was too sick to go on. he had a temperature of 105, full of strong antibiotics, for almost 10 days. From York's hospital bed, he and director William Asher discussed York's future. "Do you want to quit?" Asher asked. "If it's all right with you, Billy," York replied. With that, York left the show to devote himself to recovery. From season six until the series ended in 1972, the role of Darrin Stephens was played by actor Dick Sargent. Sargent was originally offered the role of Darrin in 1964, but turned it down to do a short-lived sitcom called Broadside.
Dick Sargent was terrible in the role of Darrin and I'm glad he chose to turn it down the first time........ if he had accepted I doubt the series would have lasted as long as it did...... the chemestry between Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick Sargent was not good.... Dick York and Elizabeth Mongomery had a better chemistry.
I find it interesting that Elizabeth Montgomery had much better chemistry with Dick York than she did with Dick Sargent despite the face that Montgomery and Sargent became life long friends in real life.
Of course, Dick Sargent was gay (so was Maurice Evans; we won't even mention Paul Lynde…) and Dick York wasn't. York's Darren was much more obviously attracted to Samantha. But yeah, even Robert Reed was more able to portray a convincing heterosexual character than Sargent. For whatever reason, Sargent's character was written and directed as more dyspeptic and grumpy than York's had been.
I am sure I and in the minority but I think Dick Sargent did okay in the role. He was more calm than Dick York's version. I am 40 so I wasn't around when the show originally aired. I grew up watching repeats and I actually viewed Dick Sargent's portrayal before Dick York's so maybe that has something to do with how I feel about the two actors.
It's really hard to tell who made the better Darrin. Dick York could be a bit of a flake, always on the verge of freaking out, where Dick Sargent could be more down-to-earth but also rather uptight. So let's just call a spade a spade ☺
They decided to go to a restaurant in the Milky Way? Pray tell, where they had wait staff for such a meal! They could whip up anything, so no need for a restaurant (materializing table, chairs...was a trifle).
Just out of curiosity, are Maurice and Endora divorced or seperated? Of course it's far from fun or pleasant, but as if witches and warlocks have such a thing LOL I know Endora's more of a free spirit compared to her classy, worldly, on-again, off-again husband (or whatever you want to call him for that matter) 😁
Notice how that kitchen staircase looks so little and just about useable ? A grown person could not actually walk up or down it for it's too small. Case in point. The real kitchen was burned down and everything was redone including the staircase and it's a fact that it's just for show and it was never actually used anymore because it's a fake staircase . Truth
In this season of Bewitched, Elizabeth Montgomery looked more like a girlfriend & less like a mother to my teenaged frustrations. She looked so beautiful with the longer hair and the "mod" wardrobe! Holy shit Batman! I want the TV witch!

Yeah but without the accent.

I agree, Endora is one of the best characters!
They had chemistry to spare!🔥

Endora and Maurice truly loved each other.
I fully agree
What a gentleman
I remember it was fun watching them fight.
I always thought they were divorced or never got married, but at that time, you couldn't say anything like that on telly!
They should've made a spin off with Samantha's family:
Endora, Maurice, Serena, Uncle Arthur, etc.
It would've made the Adams family look like the Brady Bunch.
I absolutely love this cast!
Maurice is wonderfull
I know it was for drama and friction but I never got Darrin not wanting Samantha to use magic since she had it all her life.
Darrin had a very bad case of, "I just want a normal family life."
And as she always said that she wanted to do things in the "mortal way.". Besides, if she didnt there wouldn't be a show or premise to work from. That "ying and yang if you will. Or power struggle! Pardon the expression! Lol!

Nice to see a few original stories like this one in the last season.
Season 8 Elizabeth Montgomery at her peak. She was smokin' in those short dresses.
@puppy droolsalot No, she didn't. I believe she died of breast cancer in her mid 60s.
You Just Made the List It was colon cancer.
She also wore short skirts.
candi LENT: She never had lung cancer.
To set the record straight, Agnes died of uterine cancer in 1974, and Liz died from colon cancer in 1995.
Liz looked gorgeous in 1972
Twaddles McGee She looked gorgeous at any age! she was and is beautiful! I miss her soooooooo much!
She was no Hope Emerson, but she was indeed one hot babe ! Hubba Hubba !
Gosh, Elizabeth Montgomery is wearing a real short mini shirt -
Beautiful legs -
Darrin just loved to tempt fate.
Dick York will ALWAYS be Durwood. 😉
Indeed, the short, greasy haired, nasally Durwood.
Lol yes
Poor Darrin.
They never get his name right. The funniest one was dolphin. Well I guess it was for comedy. Sometimes in-laws can be difficult. Fortunately, I never had that problem. Let's just say they put the fun in Dysfunctional that family.
🐬 dolphin!! 😂😂
I found Dick Sargent was more realistic
Loved Samantha, her father...classy male Wiccan to the core...Blessed be !

Endora was adorable
Endors is so cool
Endora is a lot and rude but she was also ahead of her time
Without question,,,Dick Sargeant couldn't hold candle 2 Dick York's portrayal as Darrin Stevens... no if, and or buts bout it

People just like to be cruel under cover of anonymity in the TH-cam comments.
Darrin's parents were never that lovey dovey with each other.
Do wonder Darrin's an only child!
I wonder if Samantha is an only child.
The first Darrin knew when to keep his mouth shut. The second one never seemed to learn his lesson.
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point. Dick York was a much funnier Darrin than Dick Sargent. Mr Sargent did his best but he just didn't have the comedic chops Mr York did !!
I love all their clothes
00:13. How times have changed. :)
Maurice was on 2 episodes of Planet of the Apes. Agnes Moorehead she was nuclear exposure while making a movie in 1950s called the Conqueror. When an atomic bomb was dropped in the borders of Utah and Nevada desert. She died of ovarian and breast cancer. Along with John Wayne aka the Duke and Susan Hayward.
AND Pedro Armendariz, Sr ((Darko) Kerim Bey in From Russia With Love)
Darrin always had a drink in his hand.
I would drink a lot too if my wife and mother in law were witches and my father in law was a warlock !!

They were separated and led different lives. But they clearly always had a devoted affection for each other.
So funny. Cute little scene

That was so sweet.
Eliz manages to look stunning even in hideous early 70s clothes. I think the style of the new Darrin helped to pull the show into the new decade actually.
If Dick York was still on the show, I don't think Liz could've worn this type of dress.
When you realize that the character of Maurice is essentially a parody of Robert Montgomery, this gets more interesting....
I never knew that!
I've heard this before and I disagree.

Luvd bewitched....wat a great cast etc...😍
You're kidding, right. Love it. Close enough.
Interesting Maurice Evans was in Rosemary's Baby too.
And the first two Planet of the Apes movies around the same time!
Liz was approx 39 at this point, by 1972 American styles had changed a lot. Elizabeth looks her best during these years on the show.
Great show.
I liked the way Frank Stevens was receptive to Endora. Grandma Stevens almost sent Frank packing. Ja ja ja!
Omg! Those kitchen stairs. For a show about magic they sure failed at making them look realistic.😀
I know. The cabinets would have looked better painted white.

1964-1969 is the pick. 1970-72 lower rating.

From York's hospital bed, he and director William Asher discussed York's future. "Do you want to quit?" Asher asked. "If it's all right with you, Billy," York replied. With that, York left the show to devote himself to recovery.
From season six until the series ended in 1972, the role of Darrin Stephens was played by actor Dick Sargent. Sargent was originally offered the role of Darrin in 1964, but turned it down to do a short-lived sitcom called Broadside.
+Astraldragon1 ohh but I still feel like the old one is wayyyy better😓
Dick Sargent was terrible in the role of Darrin and I'm glad he chose to turn it down the first time........
if he had accepted I doubt the series would have lasted as long as it did...... the chemestry between Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick Sargent was not good.... Dick York and Elizabeth Mongomery had a better chemistry.
I never really liked either Darrin, but then I always wished Samantha kept using her powers.
I find it interesting that Elizabeth Montgomery had much better chemistry with Dick York than she did with Dick Sargent despite the face that Montgomery and Sargent became life long friends in real life.
Imagine if we could go back to this time
este donde este samantha deve seguir siendo guapa y divertidísima la amó
Dick York was way better actor than this one! My goodness!!! He has no chemistry with Samantha!!
Of course, Dick Sargent was gay (so was Maurice Evans; we won't even mention Paul Lynde…) and Dick York wasn't. York's Darren was much more obviously attracted to Samantha. But yeah, even Robert Reed was more able to portray a convincing heterosexual character than Sargent. For whatever reason, Sargent's character was written and directed as more dyspeptic and grumpy than York's had been.
I am sure I and in the minority but I think Dick Sargent did okay in the role. He was more calm than Dick York's version. I am 40 so I wasn't around when the show originally aired. I grew up watching repeats and I actually viewed Dick Sargent's portrayal before Dick York's so maybe that has something to do with how I feel about the two actors.
It's really hard to tell who made the better Darrin. Dick York could be a bit of a flake, always on the verge of freaking out, where Dick Sargent could be more down-to-earth but also rather uptight. So let's just call a spade a spade ☺
Thats because he is gay
Did not like women, and it showed
Oh my God, I realized that Maurice had an english accent, thats very cool, the spanish version of him doesn't have it.
They decided to go to a restaurant in the Milky Way? Pray tell, where they had wait staff for such a meal! They could whip up anything, so no need for a restaurant (materializing table, chairs...was a trifle).
Everyone needs to get out once in awhile.
Endora and maurice sre cute together
Just out of curiosity, are Maurice and Endora divorced or seperated? Of course it's far from fun or pleasant, but as if witches and warlocks have such a thing LOL I know Endora's more of a free spirit compared to her classy, worldly, on-again, off-again husband (or whatever you want to call him for that matter) 😁
They're married, but have an open marriage.
Their characters are still married but separated on the series.
Original idea to hear Endora greating in Italian "ciao"
She considered ordering fake lasagna during the show's lunch break but didn't want to be involved with an impasta.
1970s decor at its finest: harvest gold and sick green. Good lord......
But no worse than today's gray on gray banality that exudes all the charm of a modestly upscale motel lobby
Dick Sargent was a cold fish. I liked Dick York better.
mother in law, Dorothy was Cook 35 yrs.
Samantha just because you marry a mortal doesn't mean you have to live like one
I want to know what Maurice says to Darrin around 0:29 before he says "i'm warning you" because they cut out what he was really saying.
+emilyy joyy
He called him a name that starts with a "D", but remember, they always got his name wrong.
I think Maurice called Darrin Darby.
@DA90027 Some almost 40 year old women get the blossom of their beauty at this age.
Casting requirements for Darrin Stevens:
Tall, thin white guy named Dick. Must be a smart-aleck to his in-laws.
Notice how that kitchen staircase looks so little and just about useable ? A grown person could not actually walk up or down it for it's too small. Case in point. The real kitchen was burned down and everything was redone including the staircase and it's a fact that it's just for show and it was never actually used anymore because it's a fake staircase . Truth
Yes it looks fake like one of those you sit plants on. The kitchen cabinets would have looked better painted white instead of green.
I liked the black and white episodes (colorized) much better when things were fresh and new. I loved Sam's relationship with Aunt Clara.
In this season of Bewitched, Elizabeth
Montgomery looked more like a girlfriend & less like a mother to my teenaged frustrations. She looked so beautiful with the longer hair and the "mod" wardrobe! Holy shit Batman! I want the TV witch!
70's style
Elizabeth sure looked very stunning in that short dress. She sure does look very sexy. It would have been great to have a mon that dressed like that.
Durbin...lololol
The wardrobe really degenerated
love it
she lookks like marsha brady with that hair lol
The first Darrin Stephens was much more better than the second one Dick Sargent.
At the end of the day they were both Dicks 😁
where isfull episode...plz post it..
