DVD Reviews of Bewitched - The Complete Sixth Season
DVD Review: Awesome Series!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first season with the "new" Darrin. This show is still funny after all these years. It's so much fun to watch. Love the characters, love the stories, love the trouble-making. Fun, fun, fun!DVD Review: The Long Kiss
Summary: 5 Stars
Season 6 of Bewitched is a great DVD. Dick Sargent's Darrin seems much more affectionate toward Samantha. I noticed how almost every episode ended with a long kiss. It seemed like the Sargent-Montgomery chemistry was greater. My favorite episode of the season is "Who's the Wise Witch" where Samantha's lack of magic creates a vapor lock on the house. First Endora then Esmeralda then Dr. Bombay get trapped inside the house. One wonders how many witches are going to get locked in before Bombay's delightful solution. Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart's appearance was also a lot of fun in "Serena Stops the Show." Alice Ghostly was a favorite of mine from the Jackie Gleason Show as the fiancee who'd been engaged for over a decade. Her addition to the cast as Esmeralda was endearing. Agnes Moorehead continued her delightful Endora. Carol Wayne's appearance as a bunny was dingy & sweet. My sense is that the show was reenergized in Season 6. Enjoy! DVD Review: A New "Bewitched" Debuts"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Bewitched" changed on many fronts in its 6th season, 1969-1970. The most obvious change was the replacement of Dick York by Dick Sargent as Darren. York had a serious back problem that kept him from working, and facing pressure from ABC, both Liz Montgomery and Bill Asher had no choice but to replace him. This was also the year the Ashers made Ashmont Productions. This compnay would go on to produce the remaining years of "Bewitched". At the end of the 5th season Elizabeth and William Asher wanted to close production, but ABC, not wanting to lose a hit show, gave them part ownership of the series and huge salary increases.
Another change was the show's opening. There is new animation featuring Samantha on her broom, along with the new "Darren", and we now have an announcer saying, "Elizabeth Montgomery in..."Bewitched"".
30 episodes are included with this boxset and they look clean and crisp as if they were made yesterday. However, the scripts this season started to wane, as they are not as innovative and original as the five previous seasons. Still, if you are an ardent "Bewitched" fan, like me, pick up this season to help complete your collection.
On a final note, since Marion Lorne had died it was important to have a "dumb" witch on the show. Alice Ghostley appears this season as Esmeralda, a witch with weak powers who fades whenever she gets nervous. Her performance is both funny and outrageous.
On a sad note, this was also the year "Bewitched" lost a substantial portion of their audience. This was due to the recast of a major player in the series. The show finished at #25, after being at #12 the previous year: a loss of many million viewers. The final Nielsen ratings for the 1969-1970 season was a 20.6.
DVD Review: Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
Quality of the picture is good as is the color. I have all 7 seasons and each is great. They are worth every penny. My grandkids are loving Bewithched and quickly becoming fans.DVD Review: Four Stars
Summary: 4 Stars
Another great season of Bewitched. As everyone knows this is the season Darren has been replaced which sparked endless debates on which Darren was best the first or the second. For me neither of them made much of a difference. The best scenes for me were always centered around Endora, Samantha, and Tabitha. The three actresses were so good and funny together that he almost wasn't even needed. Endora's endless spells on Darren started getting old and boring. Another new charactor was Esmeralda a bumbling witch now that Clara was gone (the actress who played her passed away). This didn't work for me. I adored Clara who was bumbling but lovable at the same time while Esmeralda was just didn't have the same magic as Clara.
Description of Bewitched - The Complete Sixth Season
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.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 clich?s 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
