Through it all, Darrin and Samantha make the best of everything and get to share their life with their two children, Tabitha and Adam. This top-ranked sitcom was enjoyed by it's audience for eight seasons. So sit back, relax and let Samantha's nose twitches entertain you! Contains all 254 episodes.

Episodes are uncut and complete. I remember seeing them on TV a few years ago and they were cut mercilessly , usually with the end tag scene cut completely. But…. Not in this set. It’s nice seeing the complete episodes.
One of the more pleasant surprises was the omission in some episodes in this set of the laugh track. I’m sure it was an accident in the transfer (I know that in foreign copies there is no laugh track at all) but watching some episodes (Like the Ben Franklin episode in Season 3) without the laugh track was quite refreshing. Refreshing in that I could laugh where I wanted because of the excellent writing instead of being “prompted” to laugh by those who insert the laugh track. It’s too bad that there is not an option to turn off the laugh track on all episodes.
I found that the earlier seasons (1-5) were the best and most original. The latter seasons (6-9) started to get very repetitious and fell into almost the same pattern: Darrin says/does something to annoy Endora; Endora places a spell on Darrin; Darrin spends rest of episode having the spell on him cause all sorts of problems; Samantha convinces Endora to remove spell; all ends happily.
Whereas, the early seasons had lots of originality. Like introducing the smarmy Private Investigator, Charlie Leach. He saw Samantha perform her witchcraft and tried to blackmail her. She gave him “what for” to teach him a lesson WITH the blessing of Darrin. Or the two-part episode where Endora and Uncle Arthur squabble and Endora keeps zapping a house on and off of an empty lot. The second part has Endora throwing a Halloween party at the Steven’s house and for one of the few times, Darrin actually enjoys the party! It’s nice in the early seasons that there is a nice mix of different styles of story keeping the series fresh. No formulaic writing.
And the special effects are quite good for the time. Without digital effects, the effects in the episodes are great. You can’t see the strings or how things were done, even on a 4K TV.
If you are a fan of this show, or have never seen it, this is a great purchase. My only minor complaint is that the sleeves for the DVD are cardboard so being gentle removing and reinserting them is prudent to keep the discs from scratching.

Llevaba mucho tiempo buscando este producto y había muchas opciones en el mercado pero estoy feliz de que me haya gustado. Me encantaba, parece que recuerdo cuando era niño la veía con mi madre a la que le encantaba y estoy muy muy feliz vivo lejos de mi madre y cada vez que veo la serie me siento al lado de ella. Gracias 🙏
First, to package more than 250 episodes of what was a classic in mid-century television is difficult and Sony has found a spectacular solution that not only avoids waste but makes it easy to keep your place in this 8 season box set when each season contained more than 35 episodes. Season one began in 1965 and the series ended with the divorce of Elizabeth Montgomery and William Ascher in 1974. So this box set is the same shape as a single disc DVD. Though the first two seasons were black and white they've been colorized here, though not in the individual season packaging.
"Bewitched" is not only entertainment but an increasingly important documentation of history. Though I first watched many of these episodes in first run on our 12" antenna set they, like I, are old. The concept is that of a beautiful and intelligent young witch (the legendary Elizabeth Montgomery) who falls in love with a mortal man (Dick York, then Dick Sargent-more on that later) and must function as an All-American housewife and mother in the age of the Nuclear Family. Her own family, witches and warlocks all, create most of the dramatic tension because (forgive me) you can take the "girl" out of culture but you can't take the culture out of the "girl."
No, no. Elizabeth Montgomery is not a girl; she's a woman. (In fact, as of 1995 she is a was.) But one can't help watch episode after episode without becoming disgusted by the diminished and subservient role that women played for far too long. Taken out of the 60's and early 70's and you will, I hope, be offended over and over by the sickening sexism that exists in every episode. (Roseanne did a black and white satire of this period called "That's My Rosy" which spells it out better than I can in far less time.
But so much must be taken in context of the period in which this show was written l, designed and produced. Every episode uses a formula that involves a handfull of possibilities: a scenario is established in the cold open in which Samantha Stephens is innocently going about her morning when a family member will "pop" in causing Darrin to get angry and insult them. A spell is cast, most often by Samantha's mother (The classic Agnes Moorehead) and very often the result of the spell is witnessed by the nosy neighbor, Mrs. Kravitz. (First played by Alice Pearce who succumbed to cancer in March of 1966, then played by Sandra Gould as Abner's sister.) Darin goes into Madison Ave where he tries not to lose the new client because of the spell while Samantha tries to placate the offended mother/cousin/aunt/uncle/father then must justify the insanity to Mrs. Kravitz.
In the 21st century (ok, by the time "Rhoda" premiered) we ask ourselves over and over why Sam doesn't turn the tyranical Darrin into a foot stool and live to her full potential as every episode begins with his shouting and ends with a rated G kiss.
Context. In1966 the subjugation of women appeared to be The Way and in fact today there are many who still fight to return to this; raising boys to feel superior and training girls to be good mommies.
It was a number of things that made this show a hit. The magic certainly, but you'll see the wires that levitate and be impressed by the magic created without the use of CGI. The main thing is the high quality of acting. The dhow cast thhe most celebrated Shakespearian actors from stage and screen ranging from 1920 to 1971. Elizabeth plays a vareiety of rolls and flows between them with ease as does Moorehead, Marione Lorne, Paul Lynde and countless others. In regard to television nothing is a substitute for outstanding acting.
Dick York, a skilled actor who was a VERY good sport, suffered from lower back damage that finally caused him to leave the show and be replaced by Dick Sargent. At quick glance they look alike but it becomes evident that York was the superior actor. I already mentioned the cast change of Mrs. Kravitz. Louise Tate was played by two actors but to replace the co-star was a brazen step.
(Again, "Roseanne" in the Tag of the episode where Vhalke replaced Gorandon as Becky, the family is watching "Bewitched."
ROSE: I can't believe they replaced that Darrin!
JACKIE: Well they were a hit show. They knew they could get away with anything.
BECKY: Well I like the second Darrin better. )
This series takes us through the fastest cultural revolution in American History. We begin with dainty feminine suits and hates and end with hip-huggers, wide belts and Samantha with Laurie Partridge hair. The show NEVER steps into reality. There is no mention of the cold war, the Vietnam war, the threat of communism, the entire election year of 1968 in which three major political and cultural figures were assassinated, the civil rights movement, the women's rights movement, The sexual revolution, reproductive rights, no, in fact, this is one sitcom that was able to transcend The line in television of 1970 when all in the family, Mary Tyler Moore, and mash all premiered. For the witch to have survived it had to have been something special.
At this price, you simply have to buy their series. If not for the entertainment value in for its place in the cultural history of the United States. And if that is an enough, then absolutely everyone needs to know who Elizabeth Montgomery was. She lives on. Montgomery had a summer home in Patterson, Putnam County, New York. Following her death, the 794-acre estate was sold to New York State and became Wonder Lake State Park. It remains so. Patterson, NY (not to be confused with Paterson, NJ) was the fictional settingof Darrin and Samantha's home.
I give this four stars because 5 exhibits long lasting excellence such as "The Wizard of Oz" or "Mary Tyler Moore" and the underlying sexism in this series will, from time to time, make you curse and want to throw the disc out the window.
