Bewitched 1964-72 ABC TV

Classic sixties sicom about a witch who marries a mortal. Created by Sol Saks and starring Elizabeth Montgomery in the lead role as Samantha Stevens. The series was undoubtably influenced and owes its origin to the forties movie “I married a witch” which had starred Veronica Lake. The series follows Samantha’s attempts to live a normal non magic life as a suburban house wife. Though this proves to be a hard task with interference of her mother, Endora, played by Agnes Moorehead and various other family members. Her husband Darren, (or Derwood as Endora often refers to him as) works as an advertising executive for Larry tate. Darren was originally played by Dick York, though ill health forced him to leave being replaced for the final three seasons by Dick Sargent.

A less than successful film starring Nicole Kidman was produced in 2005.
