The Details

UNDOING THE MAGIC

  Generally, one witch cannot undo another witches spell, and this is often stated on Bewitched. However, from the beginning Samantha undoes Endora's spells (on inanimate objects) and Maurice undoes others spells.

  • In # 37, Samantha tells Aunt Clara that she can undo the spell on Darrin if she knew what Clara had said. When Clara finally finds the spell in a book, Samantha reads it and the spell is off Darrin.
  • In # 169, Endora undoes Henry's spell after Tabitha shows what Henry did.
  • In # 161, Samantha made Serena's zapped up food disappear.

  It could be a case of simple spells like that are common and known to other witches, so they can be undone. Frequently, the needs of the script take precedence over other rules.

  • In # 229, Samantha undoes Malvina's spell without knowing what it is.
  • In # 27, Aunt Clara makes a water gun squirt backward and in # 243 Esmeralda does the same thing.

READING HARPIES BIZARRE

Endora is shown reading Harpies Bizarre in episodes 2, 3, 82, 129, and 229.

Serena reads Harpies Bizarre in # 247.

Aunt Hagatha reads Harpies Bizarre in # 253.

  • The same magazine cover is used in all seven episodes.

BEWITCHING TRIVIA TIDBITS

  • Cosmo Sardo, Dick York's hairdresser, was in more than one episode.
  • Gerald York, who is frequently spotted as a Bewitched extra, got screen credit as the Tech. Director in # 129.
  • According to the lineup chart in # 91, Samantha is 5' 7" tall in heels.
  • Endora wore a small heart necklace in #'s 58, 77, 82, 145, and 163. See The Heart Necklace for a picture.
  • Samantha keeps the language clean. In # 28 she says "darn", in # 46 she says "My God", and in # 213 "darned spots". Otherwise, nothing stronger than "Oh, my stars!"
  • In # 9, the Stephen's telephone number is given as 555-7328; in # 106 as 555- 2134; and in # 141 as 555-2368.
  • In # 59 there is a stock footage shot of Darrin's office building. It has 27 floors, yet the elevator goes to 15 floors (and there is a 13th floor).
  • In # 252, McMann and Tate's offices are on the 32nd floor.
  • In # 26 and # 141, the 1164 street address is given out to other people, but the city is given only in # 193.
  • In early episodes (e.g., # 6 and # 10) the teasers are little bits that have nothing to do with the episode. Episode 6 is the brush man calling, and # 10 is a TV repairman, who does not get credit, yet two customers who are never seen on the show do get credit.
  • In # 64, # 243, and one other episode, Samantha is shown shelling peas. She eats about every fourth one. Aren't peas shelled raw? Who eats raw peas?
  • In # 211, and some others, the car that Darrin drives has a dent behind the door on the passenger side.
  • Gladys takes medicine in # 2 and # 23. Gladys says she will take her medicine in episode 115. Gladys #2 (Sandra Gould) is never shown taking it.
  • Larry kisses Louise on the lips only in #s 12 and 109.
  • Elizabeth Montgomery has a slightly crooked right front tooth with a small chip from a fall from a horse when she was a youngster.
  • According to an early 1965 TV Guide article, Elizabeth Montgomery wore lighter make up on her nose to make it look smaller under the overhead lights.
  • Dick York, as Darrin, did not appear in the following episodes:
    - 1966/67: # 89 and # 100.
    - 1967/68: # 129, # 133, # 134, and # 136. These were due to back problems for four weeks. Filming of the episodes was altered so that these four were all filmed together.
    - 1968/69: # 160, # 161, # 162, # 163, # 165, # 166, # 168, and # 169. The show production and air dates did not match that year in order to put York in every now and then.
  • Darrin was fired in episodes 50, 92, 104, 114, 117, 120, 127, 135, 138, 148, 149, 150, 181, 183, 198, 211, and 254.
  • Darrin quits in episodes 17, 64, and 148.
  • To see the differences in the relationship between Samantha and York vs. Sargent as Darrin, compare the greeting Samantha gives Darrin (York) in episode # 132 to the one Darrin (Sargent) gets in episode # 252. Both refer to when Samantha has left Darrin and comes back.

OCCURING ONLY ONE TIME

  • In # 1, Darrin's nameplate lists him as a vice president. After # 1 as "account executive" up until season eight when only his name is used on the nameplate.

  • In # 31, Samantha wears a black wig and lights up a cigarette. See the Smoking Section for a picture.
  • In # 34, Endora says her last name is "Waters." This phony name is in reference to the water main fiasco taking place on that episode.
  • In # 55, the Kravitz's house is shown as the stone house featured on The Donna Reed Show.
  • In # 67, Samantha wears a version of the "old black" flying suit that is different from the others. See Samantha's Flying Suits for a picture.
