Happy Birthday, "Bewitched"! Part Two - The Magic Ends

Going Hollywood - Movies and Television from the Golden Age to Today

S01 E25 All good things must come to an end, and that goes Darrin-double in this episode as we wrap up our "Happy Birthday, Bewitched!" episodes with the tales of Morning Glory Circle's final three years...a/k/a "The Dick Sargent Era". Join us as we celebrate and examine the show's evolution across two distinct eras and two distinct Dicks...York and Sargent. We'll take you through a journey filled with personal anecdotes, captivating moments, of the show's final years... and heartfelt tributes to Elizabeth Montgomery's timeless appeal and her bewitching legacy.
Discover the true story behind Dick York's painful struggle on set and how it impacted his unforgettable performances. We'll explore the creative ways the show adapted to York's absence and the stark contrast with his successor, Dick Sargent. From Agnes Moorehead's fierce loyalty to York to the palpable tension with Sargent, we leave no stone unturned in understanding the dynamics that shaped "Bewitched." Our conversation even touches on the show's bold decision to tackle racism in the "Sisters at Heart" episode and the whimsical charm of the Salem saga.
But that's not all – we also compare "Bewitched" with another beloved classic, "I Dream of Jeannie," sharing behind-the-scenes tidbits and personal reflections on both shows. Stay tuned as we honor Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick Sargent's legacy, including their courageous roles as grand marshals in the 1992 West Hollywood Pride Parade. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to a series that has left an indelible mark on television history, perfect for both new fans and lifelong devotees.
