The Bewitched TV show was a 30 minute fantasy/comedy series on ABC about a mortal man (Darrin Stevens) who falls in love with and marries a Witch (Samantha). His wife's family is very against the marriage and he suffers one headache after another dealing with them. How would you like to be turned into a mouse after a fight with an in-law? Or be forced to laugh at your boss because your mother-in-law thought you needed a better sense of humor? Darrin found out about Samantha's powers on their honeymoon. After the initial shock was over, he agreed to stick by the marriage only if Samantha promised to never use her powers again. She did promise, but it didn't last long! She had to reverse the spells her family put on Darrin, didn't she? And would you clean house all day long if you had magical powers? To spice things up a little (as if it wasn't already spicy enough), the couple had a baby (Tabitha) halfway through the second season. Many episodes were spent wondering whether Tabitha would be Witch or Mortal! Eventually we found her to be a Witch and later she got a little brother who was Mortal.

Who Played Dr. Zaius in the Planet of the Apes Movies?
Maurice Evans who played Samantha's "daddy" on Bewitched was under all that ape makeup!

Where Did Aunt Esmeralda Get Her Name?
Alice Ghostley (Aunt Esmeralda) originally appeared in one of the Bewitched episodes titled, "Maid to Order" as the "ditsy" maid Naomi. In that same episode, she takes over for the Tates' sick maid and really messes up their dinner for clients. The Tates' sick maid's name was (you guessed it!) - Esmeralda!

Theme Song Lyrics

Title: "Bewitched"

By: "Howard Greenfield" and "Jack Keller"

You witch, you witch,
One thing is for sure.
That stuff you pitch,
Just hasn't got a cure.
I never thought that I could be had,
But now I'm caught and I'm kinda glad to be Bewitched.
