good family viewing 
2008-07-13
After viewing "Bewitched" the 6th season I am still impressed by how simple good creative entertainment can be. Elizabeth Montgomery shows her talent as a comedienne in every episode and provides good fun for any age or taste. The endless conflicts for Darren vs. the Magic World and its cast of endless tormentors for him in infinitly tormenting situations is worth the money to get and show over and over again.
KEEPING THE MAGIC ALIVE 2008-07-01
This is one of the most interesting seasons. With Samantha having a second baby to Dick Sargent and Alice Ghostley making their debuts. Agnes Moorhead, Erin Murphy, and Maurice Evans return as part of the whole Bewitching family. And who could ever forget Sandra Gould as the hysterical Gladys Kravitz and George Tobias as her oblivious husband. I hope Season Seven holds some more interesting surprises!!!
Darren switch works for me 2008-06-20
I know Dick Sargent is not Dick York, but I think he did a very fine job replacing a quite popular actor. The show had no choice but to replace Dick York who was so physically incapacitated that he could not do the show anymore. I would much rather have had them replace Dick York than to not have Bewitched at all. I would not have wanted to miss Adam, the now talking and animated Tabatha, or more Bewitched magic. Sometimes we humans have to take a lesson from the animals and just adapt. I have season 6 and love it as much as I did the other five seasons. I intend to eventually have a complete set.
Thank you for continuing to make this series available.
Now, if you could do something about the outrageous price of each season of the Monkees DVDs, I'd be in seventh heaven.
1969-1970 season 2008-06-14
I am actually happy to see Dick York gone from the picture. He was becoming more annoying to me all the time as Darren. I liked season 5 because he was not in many of the episodes, due to his illness. Dick Sargent is much better with Elizabeth Montgomery, they are more believable as a couple. I also enjoyed Esmerelda and Uncle Arthur. This is maybe my favorite season. I'm looking forward to seeing seasons 7 & 8.
As funny as Season 5 2008-06-09
I enjoyed all seasons of "Bewitched" and this one is as funny as the previous season. I can recommend it!
I just wish that more of the old TV series would finally get released like "Tammy" with Debbie Watson and Denver Pyle or "The Detectives" with Robert Taylor. I just reread "...but I have Promises to keep" by Ursula Thiess, Robert Taylor's widow, a German actress who survived the bombing of Hamburg during WW II and later immigrated to the US where she met Taylor and spent his last 17 years with him. A fascinating biography.
Many Laughs A New Baby And A New Darrin! 2008-06-09
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.System Requirements:Running Time: 760 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 043396246973 Manufacturer No: 24697
Bewitched continues to bewitch us after all these years 2008-06-08
I find the sixth season of bewitched just as rewarding as the five previous seasons. I highly recommend it to all. I hate that it is said that season 7 wont be released until next year 2009 and season 8 the last season wont be released until 2010. Its just not fair to those of us who are loyal fans.
Bewitched Season 6 
2008-05-29
The episodes appear a little soft. The colors shift from time to time, probably due to the age of the film. Not a bad set. Hopefully their will be an extra set when they release all of the seasons with bloopers, outtakes, flubs, etc... I know they put together a real of these back when they were doing the series, hopefully this real has survived somewhere? Maybe William Asher or their kids have these reals?
Bewitched - The Complete Sixth Season 2008-05-27
Good Value -- received on a timely basis -- recommended for all -- good family fun.
THE MAGIC IS BACK ON TRACK FOR A DELIGHTFUL AND ENCHANTING "BEWITCHED: SEASON SIX" 2008-05-08
After a shaky Season Five, the magic is back on track for a delightful and enchanting Season Six of "Bewitched." Dick York was in terrible physical pain throughout his five year run; and he just couldn't continue on the show anymore. It is sad, but it is a fact, people. I wish "fans" would show Dick Sargent more respect. Dick Sargent did a wonderful job as well; and the show DID NOT "jump the broomstick" when Sargent took over the role of Darrin. Does anyone else notice how ATTRACTIVE Dick Sargent is? He and Elizabeth Montgomery developed their own special chemistry and formed a wonderful friendship that lasted until Sargent's death in 1994. Sadly, Elizabeth Montgomery died in 1995.
I'm not going to get into the "Dick York Vs. Dick Sargent" debate; which I've always regarded as pointless and stupid. I'll just say that Dick York as Darrin always seemed to me to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of Samantha's witchcraft, while Dick Sargent was exasperated by it. The transition between the two actors was handeled so subtly and smoothly as to be almost inperceptible. The series picks up exactly where it was. Towards the end of Season 5, Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) tells an absent Darrin over the phone that she is pregnant in "Samantha's Good News." At the beginning of the Season Six Opener, "Samantha & The Beanstalk," Samantha is painting a crib, asking Darrin what they should name the new baby. Feeling unwanted, Tabitha (Erin Murphy) switches places with fairy tale's Jack ("Family Affair's Johnny Whittaker) and Samantha climbs up the beanstalk after her.
Although a few plots are "recycled" ideas, that is actually a common practice on any long-running Series, and few shows remain as endearing or endearing as "Bewitched." (the 30 episodes of Season Six are Episodes #171-#200 in the Series). The excellent "Bewitched" writers deserve kudos and praise for keeping the basic premise so fresh and fun throughout numerous and varied production changes. The Series quality and creativity remained high throughout Season Seven. As another reviewer so astutely pointed out, boredom and rot DID NOT set in until Season Eight, the final season. But there is no need to jump ahead or despair here.
Season Six is especially busy and fun. Alice Ghostley (who guest-starred as maid Naomi in "Maid To Order" in Season Two) joins the cast as maid Esmeralda, a shy, slightly neurotic witch who keeps fading in and out. Marion Lorne, who portrayed the beloved Aunt Clara, died at the end of Season Four. Producers wanted a new character who would also "mess up the magic" as Clara had done-- hence, Esmeralda was created. In "Samantha's Curious Cravings", a very pregnant Samantha magically receives any food she thinks about. When Dr. Bombay (Bernard Fox) attempts to remedy the situation, Samantha disappears whenever she thinks about food, and "pops over" to wherever the food is. In a related episode, " the outstanding and hilarious Samantha's Lost Weekend," Samantha accidentally drinks a glass of "magic" milk, and can't stop eating! I always wondered if Elizabeth Montgomery had fun filming this particular episode-- because it certainly is great fun to watch! Baby Adam is born, leading to more feelings of rejection by Tabitha; which is the plot of another memorable episode titled "Tabitha's Very Own Samantha."
Besides Jack & The Beanstalk, other "house guests" in Season Six include Julius Ceasar, The Artful Dodger, Mother Goose, and Santa Claus! After two previous visits to the North Pole, Santa (Ronald Long) and all of his Elves are stranded at Samantha and Darrin's house! Henry Gibson makes a memorable guest appearance as a mischievous leprechaun sent by Endora (Agnes Moorehead) to wreck havoc in the episode "If The Shoe Pinches." Uncle Arthur (Paul Lynde), Daddy Maurice (Maurice Evans) and wild Cousin Serena (Elizabeth Montgomery's other delicious Series role) also add to the fun and merriment of Season Six. After all these decades, from child to adult, "Bewitched" ALWAYS brings a smile to my face.
The DVD set includes "Minisodes" (whatever those are?) of "The Partridge Family" and "I Dream Of Jeannie." Sony is obviously trying to sell more product, but if I wanted to watch "I Dream Of Jeannie" (which I don't much), I would buy that series. Ironic, since Elizabeth Montgomery reportedly HATED "Dream", feeling it was a rip-off of "Bewitched" formula, but more cheap and tawdry. Hey, Sony, instead of tacking on a "Dream" extra, please just release "Bewitched: Season Seven" in a timely manner. Thank you very much!
