My stars! The first, and perhaps most magical, season of Bewitched still casts an enchanting spell. For escapist fantasy, this series, no doubt inspired by the play Bell, Book and Candle, broke significant television ground. The Stephens were sitcoms' first mixed marriage. Advertising executive Darrin Stephens (Dick York) was mortal, and wife Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) was a witch. According to a retrospective segment included on this four-disc set, the Stephenses were also the first couple to sleep in one bed! And Samantha's mother, Endora (the venerable Agnes Morehead), and father, Maurice (Maurice Evans, most popularly known as Dr. Zaius in the original Planet of the Apes, were TV's first separated couple. Surely, Darrin did for advertising what Dick Van Dyke's Rob Petrie did for comedy writing. And nose-twitching Samantha certainly gave Mary Tyler Moore's Laura Petrie a run for the money in the sexy suburbanite sweepstakes. This high-concept series' saving grace was that Darrin insisted that Samantha not engage in any "hocus-pocus." But in this first season, she would be compelled to use her extraordinary powers to right social wrongs (such as derogatory-witch stereotypes in the Halloween episode "The Witches Are Out"), champion the underdog (a lonely boy whose overprotective mother won't let him play baseball in "Little Pitchers Have Big Fears"), or to restore a troubled boy's Christmas spirit ("A Vision of Sugar Plums"). Or, she might just want to turn the tables on an insulting former girlfriend of Darrin's (the pilot, "Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha").
York and Montgomery had palpable chemistry. They also received able support by a stellar ensemble of character actors. Alice Pearce and Marion Lorne would earn Emmys for their signature roles as busybody neighbor Mrs. Kravitz and dotty Aunt Clara, respectively. George Tobias portrayed oblivious. long-suffering Abner Kravitz, with David White as Darrin's boss, Larry Tate. In today's more PC climate, Bewitched may offend the "ban Harry Potter" crowd. But for baby boomers especially, this inaugural set will happily conjure up vintage television memories. --Donald Liebenson

- Worth buying!If you were a big fan of the "Bewitched" series then you will love this dvd set. This set is from the first season and is loaded with funny episodes. As you may or may not know, the original version was filmed in black and white. This set is the colorized version but don't worry because you won't be able to tell the difference. I was impressed with how they were able to colorize the episodes without making it look too bright and fake. The colors were dead on so much, that if you didn't know better ... Read More

- One of the most magical shows ever!!!This show has always been and always will be fabulous! This is my mother's favorite show so growing up I got a large dose of it. I am in college now and I have to say that this show is still very magical. Elizabeth Montgomery did an EXCELLENT job as Samantha and her charm and wit made the show all the more better. Epsiodes in the first season like "That Was My Wife" and "A Change of Face," alone show the classy humor and charm that the cast members had with each other. I believe she had great chemistry ...

- fun to share with the kidsKids like it. Generally wholesome, but am surprised at the drinking and womanizing that was depicted in that era.
