Bewitched - The Complete Third Season

Bewitched - The Complete Third Season Review

I'm in my early fifties and I remembered watching this show with my mother. I was a very young girl, and I really enjoy watching them the first time around. A few months ago my Mother who was 88 at the time, quietly passed away in her sleep. I was at Wal-Mart a few days earlier when I saw the 3rd and 4th seasons of Bewitched packaged together,and for one low price, I flipped. I eaglerly snatched up the two season deal, and just now finished watching the 3rd season. Now, just started watching the 4th season. Elizabeth and Dick York are fantastic together, and I just wish that I could have showed these season to my Mom, she would have loved watching them again. So many wonderful episodes, and the characters, Endora, Serena, Uncle Arther, but to me Aunt Clara passed them all, her episodes with Elizabeth and Dick were great. I had no idea that in the middle of the fourth season that she had passed away, and the Dick in the fifth season, was going thru some real health and back pain at the time. In the sixth season when Dick York couldn't play Darrin anymore, I was very pessismistic about Dick Sargent, but I enjoyed him alot. True, he was no Dick York but he added a sort of flair to Darrin that I enjoyed. The last season of Bewitched was the weakest for me to enjoy. But I digress, Bewitched, was one the best shows of the sixties, and along with The Addams Family. These two shows were my favorite. Now, I have to decide if I want to buy Seasons one and two together in one deals. Watch these DVD'S they will bring back many happy memories and you will love the characters amd the funny situations that Samantha and Darrin, Tabitha and even Endora get themselves into.

Bewitched - The Complete Third Season Overview

Join Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery), Darrin (Dick York) and Endora (Agnes Moorehead) as they celebrate three major television events in this spellbinding four-disc DVD collection: the first episodes filmed entirely in color, the delightful debut of baby Tabitha's "wishcraft" powers and the first-time Emmy® nominations for Montgomery and Moorehead.

Bewitched - The Complete Third Season Specifications

The introduction of color takes a bit of the magic out of Bewitched, but adorable toddler Tabitha brings her own special enchantment to this third season, which earned Emmy nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series. Also nominated were Elizabeth Montgomery as sophisticated, albeit domesticated, witch Samantha, Agnes Morehead as her disapproving mother Endora, and Marion Lorne as addled Aunt Clara, whose mis-spellings wreak havoc in the Stephens household, as when she unwittingly conjures up Ben Franklin in "My Friend Ben." As the season begins, "typical average baby" Tabitha reveals her heretofore-dormant supernatural powers. In the next episode, "The Moment of Truth," Darrin (Dick York) is distressed to find out about his daughter. "Remember 'normal'?" he wails to his wife. "We were going to have a normal married life" Though one laments that Serena is missing in action, the return of Bernard Fox as Dr. Bombay (in "There's Gold in Them Thar Pills") and Paul Lynde's practical joker Uncle Arthur are always welcome, even if Arthur's feud with Endora in "Endora Moves in for a Spell" never reaches the comic heights of season 2's "The Joker Is a Card" (the Yagazuzie Zim episode).

Other venerable character actors cast their distinctive spells, including Estelle Winwood ("Hold Me, Touch Me" in the original The Producers) and Reta Shaw (Mary Poppins) as Endora's sisters in "Witches and Warlocks Are My Favorite Things; Marty Ingalls as a rival ad agency spy in "Dangerous Diaper Dan"; Norman "Mr. Roper" Fell as Sigmund Freud(!) in "I'd Rather Twitch Than Fight"; and, in a bizarre cameo, Willie Mays as one of Endora's Halloween party guests in "Twitch or Treat." ("You mean he's a...," Darrin stammers. "The way he hits home runs?" Samantha replies, "What else?"). Sandra Gould, replacing Alice Pearce, joins the cast as busybody neighbor Gladys Kravitz. One of the season's most enjoyable episodes is "A Most Unusual Wood Nymph," which allowed York to break out of his confounded husband character to portray the lusty Darrin the Bold, a cursed 14th-century ancestor. And with the sight of the ravishing Montgomery in a castle-maid costume, who needs extras in this otherwise charmed four-disc set? --Donald Liebenson
