Bewitched is a Sitcom/Fantastic Comedy series which was broadcast for eight seasons on ABC from 1964 to 1972, and took a light-hearted look at the supernatural.Elizabeth Montgomery stars as Samantha, the wife of ad executive Darrin Stephens. She's not the average housewife. In fact, she's a witch, with the power to warp reality as she sees fit. After she revealed the truth about herself to Darrin on their wedding night, Samantha promised him to suppress her powers and try to live a normal life, but she can't help using her powers when she or Darrin are in a jam. With a twitch of the nose, she can make something magical happen and throw Darrin and the rest of the mortal world into a tizzy.While Samantha generally abstained from magic as per her husband's wishes, her family felt no such loyalty. Witches and warlocks popped into Sam's life on a regular basis, and gleefully mucked up the lives of mortals, both intentionally and unintentionally. Not helping was the fact that all of them wanted Sam to forsake the mortal life for full-time witchcraft. Endora was Samantha's mother and the ultimate vicious mother-in-law, not thinking much of mortals like Darrin. Endora was the most common instigator of plots, and trying to reverse one of her spells before any mortals found out was often the driving force for a given episode. Maurice was Samantha's father, and the rest of the magical family included practical-joking Uncle Arthur, fun-loving Serena and forgetful Aunt Clara. Esmeralda was added later in the show's run as a slightly inept witch housekeeper. She was a timid soul and would vanish into thin air if addressed in a harsh tone. A physician character, Dr. Bombay, was added to the show in 1967.A frequent unintentional witness to Samantha's magical antics was Larry Tate, Darrin's boss. Among the other inhabitants of this bewitched world were Larry's wife, Louise, and the Stephens' next-door neighbors, the Kravitzes, nosy Gladys and long-suffering Abner. Samantha and Darrin would later have two children, Tabitha (spelled Tabatha in the credits until Season Five) and Adam. Tabitha had her mother's powers, but Adam seemed to be mortal (much to Darrin's relief) until he developed them near the very end of the series.The show, which could have been forgettable fluff in lighter hands, was buoyed by intelligent writing and sharp performances, and as a result, Bewitched became a favorite with critics and audiences and even won a few Emmys.Over the years, many people have criticized Darrin's hatred of magic, but not all of it came from his reactionary fear of non-conformity; he also could never have survived in Samantha's world due to his lack of magical powers. The first time he met Samantha's mother, she threatened to kill him, and the first time he met Samantha's father, he did kill him — but Samantha persuaded her father to bring Darrin back to life a few minutes later. It would only take a slight change in approach to make most of the Bewitched storylines into terrifying horror stories. Yet through all the hexes and curses and involuntary shapeshifts, Darrin remained loyal to Samantha, and vice versa.The tension between the mortal and supernatural worlds, and Samantha's precarious balancing act between the two, formed the backbone of all the episodes. On any given episode, Samantha might try to keep the peace with her father when he discovered Darrin was a mortal, or Endora might decide Darrin needed a sense of humor and put a hex on him to make him crack jokes uncontrollably. These premises might have seemed simple on the surface, but they quickly achieved complexity when worked through the show's intricate web of character relationships, and just about always ended on a lesson about accepting one's family, no matter how bizarre or embarrassing they may be.The show's scripts were always solid and utilized a consistently high level of imagination when working the supernatural elements into the story. In one show, Esmerelda was asked to make a Caesar salad and accidentally conjured up Julius Caesar himself. The show's ensemble was tight and funny, and their across-the-board chemistry both brought the stories to life and made the material believable. The show also had a rare consistency of style and tone, thanks to the fact that the show had one regular producer and director, William Asher, to guide the actors through their paces. It is interesting to note that Mr. Asher was the real-life husband of Elizabeth Montgomery, Samantha Stephens herself.Bewitched experienced many casting changes during its long run. Kasey Rogers replaced Irene Vernon as Louise Tate in 1966, and Sandra Gould replaced Alice Pearce as Gladys Kravitz the same year. Tabitha was played by no fewer than three sets of twins: Heidi and Laura Gentry and Tamar and Julie Young all played Tabitha throughout much of 1966, but were replaced permanently by the duo of Erin and Diane Murphy. (Eventually Erin Murphy took over the role entirely.) But the most noticeable replacement (and one of the most famous in TV history) occurred in 1969 when Dick Sargent replaced an ailing Dick York as Darrin. Usually having multiple changes like these are detrimental to a show's quality, but Bewitched managed to weather all the changes with nary a hair out of place.The show ended its run in July 1972 after eight seasons, having won Emmys for Asher's direction and Marion Lorne's performance as Aunt Clara. Montgomery was nominated five times for her work as Samantha, but never won. Just the same, she will always be remembered fondly by television viewers for the role of Samantha Stephens.Tabitha, a Spin-Off series built around the now-grown daughter character (played by Lisa Hartman Black; Liberty Williams in the first pilot episode), was aired on ABC during the 1977-78 season, bringing supernatural comedy back to the small screen, at least for a while. Dr. Bombay, Abner Kravitz, and Gladys Kravitz's actors reprised their roles as guest stars here, but Samantha and Darrin did not appear as their actors declined.Dell Comics published a Bewitched Comic Book series from Spring, 1965 to October, 1969.In 2005 a movie adaptation hit the big screen, and approached the subject matter from a direction never before tried: instead of merely adapting the series for the big screen, it was a comedy about adapting the series for the big screen. The twist? A real witch of the Bewitched mold (Isabel, played by Nicole Kidman) was cast as Samantha ("I wasn't allowed to watch Bewitched. Daddy said it was racist.").Bewitched has been dubbed into dozens of languages for distribution all around the world. In addition, the series has been remade many times in foreign markets, most notably on Japanese TV in 2004 as Oku-sama wa majo — literally, My Wife Is A Witch but subtitled in English Bewitched in Tokyo. Furthermore, Bewitched is credited as a major influence on the very first Magical Girl anime, Sally the Witch (MahÅ�tsukai Sally, broadcast 1966-1968), making it the ultimate ancestor of all Cute Witch characters in Japanese animation. More recently, explicit homage was paid to Bewitched by the anime Oku-sama wa Maho Shojo: Bewitched Agnes (2005). Finally, the rights to Bewitched have been owned since 1989 by Sony, a Japanese company; this is coincidental (it was a side effect of their purchase of Columbia Pictures), but certainly fits, given the series' popularity in Japan.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Bewitched / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Throughout its entire run witches were used metaphorically for plots that otherwise might not be acceptable for television of the time. Occasionally the characters lampshaded it for the audience; Darrin mentions that he and Sam are in a "mixed marriage," and in one Halloween episode, Sam is noticeably upset by the ugly witch stereotype she sees, explicitly calling witches a "minority group."

Wizards from Outer Space
 Bewitched / int_163afa58
comment
Wizards from Outer Space: Witches and warlocks definitely spend a fair amount of time on other planets, where they can relax without mortals poking around. Darrin has a panic attack when, while watching an Apollo Moon landing on TV, Sam expresses disinterest because she has already been to the Moon. In another episode, Serena is responsible for organizing "The Cosmos Cotillion", a social event hosted somewhere in outer space. We know this from the incantation she uses to return the mortal musicians performing at Samantha's insistence:

Not Where They Thought: In one episode, a man replaces the Stephenses' lawn with astroturf because he thinks he's at the house it was meant for (162). The Stephenses' address is 192, but the nine had fallen upside down. This causes an argument ending with Darren being Exiled to the Couch because he thinks Samantha is the one who changed the grass.

Frothy Mugs of Water: Massively, massively averted. Among the most-remembered secondary aspects of the series is that almost every dinner party is accompanied by alcohol (usually martinis). And given Darrin's frustrations, it's no wonder he hits the bottle often.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: From the pilot episode: From the second episode, "Be It Ever So Mortgaged": From the episode, "Witch or Wife", Endora looks at the camera and says proudly, "That's my gal!" after Samantha joins her to travel to Paris. Later in the episode, while enjoying a glass of champagne riding atop a transcontinental airliner, Endora says to the camera "It's the only way to fly!" Several character's reactions to supernatural incidents include looking at the camera.

Emotional Maturity Is Physical Maturity
 Bewitched / int_200422a4
comment
Emotional Maturity Is Physical Maturity: Samantha is hundreds of years old, yet she acts like the young woman she appears to be — especially in early seasons, where she is more demure and less assertive than in later ones. Serena is an even more extreme example, as she is roughly the same age as Samantha but behaves very much like a teenage girl.

Some of My Best Friends Are X: Darrin occasionally pulls off a variation of this trope to Samantha (eg. "I'm not prejudice against witches. I married you, didn't I?") when ever he says something discriminatory against witches. Samantha always shoots this down (and perhaps rightfully so).

Spiritual Successor: Uncle Arthur to Aunt Clara (even though that position had been intended for Esmeralda) after Marion Lorne's passing. Uncle Arthur becomes the new Friend to All Children, such as playing "stage magician" at Tabitha's birthday; he becomes the new Inept Mage, with hilarious doubletakes when something goes wrong in the tradition of Aunt Clara (such as when he tried to conjure a cottontail bunny and conjured instead a cocktail bunny); he carries on Aunt Clara's role as the Token Good Teammate, defending Darrin from Endora and the Witch's Council at times and even admitting he likes Darrin even though that never stops him from pranking him.

comment
The Scrooge: In the Christmas Episode, "Humbug Not to Be Spoken Here", McMann & Tate's latest client, Jesse Mortimer (who is the very wealthy president of an instant soup company), is pretty much this trope personified, dismissing Christmas as nothing more than crass commercialism, and expressing that opinion that the holiday is just another day to him. Meanwhile, Larry teeters back and forth on the fence, but it's mainly because he desperately doesn't want to lose the Mortimer's Instant Soup account, even if it means having a meeting on Christmas Eve.

Debating Names: When Samantha and Darrin have a new son, they decide to name him "Frank Maurice Stevens". However, Samantha's high-strung father does not agree with having his name as the child's middle name and he has a magical tantrum about it. At the end of the episode, everyone agrees to change the baby's name to "Adam".

You Didn't Ask

When a magic user could interfere with another's spells, they had to know the exact one that had been cast. In one instance, Samantha's puckish Cousin Henry turns an overbearing salesman into a mannequin while she and Endora were distracted; the two older witches couldn't reverse the hex until Tabitha showed them what curse Henry had used in the first place (getting in a great example of You Didn't Ask when questioned why she didn't speak up sooner).

Tomboyish Name: Darrin usually addressed Samantha with the nickname "Sam."note The initial concept of the series, that had Samantha as "Cassandra", nicknamed her "Cass."

comment
Defector from Decadence: Witch society is shown to be very hedonistic and impulse-driven, since every whim can instantly be fulfilled by witchcraft. It's strongly implied that a distrust of this attitude contributes to Darrin's anti-witchcraft stance (the so-called Protestant work ethic). Sam seems to go along with him out of a desire for a more meaningful sense of accomplishment in her life.

New Baby Episode: In one episode, Samantha, who had been pregnant for a few episodes, has her baby, and it's a girl. Endora insists on naming the baby Tabitha (which does end up being her name) and Serena is mistaken for an adult Tabitha by Darren.

Standardized Sitcom Housing: Bewitched is one of the most famous aversions. The front door was stage right with a foyer, the stairs descended into the middle of the main room, dividing the living room from the dining room, and the kitchen was a separate room (with shutters dividing the kitchen from the dining room). A hallway leading out of the left hand side of the foyer led to Darrin's study/home office, a side door to the house and a second door into the kitchen. The living room was off the right hand side of the foyer and had large glass doors along the back wall that opened onto a patio. There was also a half-bath downstairs.

Sweet and Sour Grapes
 Bewitched / int_45d22aad
comment
Sweet and Sour Grapes: In "Maid to Order," Samantha hires Naomi, a sweet but incredibly klutzy woman, as a housemaid at Darrin's insistence that she rest during her pregnancy. Naomi is only able to succeed with magical help from Sam, and is incredibly grateful to the Stephens for their kindness and patience with her (she's fully aware of her own clumsiness and only took the job because she desperately needs money to fund her son's medical schooling). In the end, Naomi ends up quitting before the Stephens can fire her, as she knows that they deserve better than her. Before she leaves, though, she is able to determine the exact percentage of her salary that they should withhold for her mishaps in her head within a matter of seconds. Samantha realizes that while Naomi is a lousy maid, she'd make a great number cruncher, and convinces Darrin to find her a position in his advertising firm's accounting department. So because of her honesty and kindness in quitting, Naomi gets a better-paying job that will use her natural gifts—and Samantha gets to run her own household again.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Earlier episodes highlighted that Endora's main motivation for her attitude towards mortals was concern for Samantha and the children. The character underwent Flanderization as the later seasons progressed, making her more of a pure Jerkass.

Characterization Marches On
 Bewitched / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Serena was noticeably more grounded in her first appearance, lacking much of the kookiness and wild-child tendencies which would eventually differentiate her from Samantha. Happens with the aforementioned "Dick Switch" - at the beginning of Season Six, in an attempt to make the transition between Dick York and Dick Sargent as Darrin as seamless and unnoticeable as possible, producer/director William Asher confessed he tried to get Sargent to act in a more animated fashion to reflect York's performance; when this didn't work well, they let Sargent act the part in his own way. Because of this, Darrin, while still easily flustered by the chaos from Samantha's family, was considerably more mellow by this time (something York actually hoped would have happened eventually anyway).

Obnoxious In-Laws
 Bewitched / int_4a6e9fd9
comment
Obnoxious In-Laws: It's probably easier to count the number of episodes in which a relative of Samantha, not liking that she's married to a mortal, casts a spell to make Darrin's life hell (even Aunt Clara, meaning well but scatter-brained, was not exempt from this). Interestingly, Darrin's mother Phyllis Stephens is often far more obnoxious an in-law than any of Samantha's relatives : Endora tries several times to help out Darrin only to be rejected, as do Uncle Arthur and Serena, but Phyllis never once tries to help out Samantha except as a condescending attempt to force her to conform to Phyllis' preferences, and whereas Endora and Maurice reluctantly acknowledge Darrin as Tabitha's father, Phyllis accuses Samantha of being "selfish" about refusing to let Phyllis take control of Tabitha's upbringing (and ends up turned into a cat by Serena for insulting Samantha as a mother).

The Ex's New Jerkass: The episode "If They Never Met" mixes this trope with It's a Wonderful Plot. After Darrin gets into yet another fight with Endora, she casts a spell that sends him to a reality where he never met or married Samantha. Instead, he's engaged to Shelia Sommers, a massive Alpha Bitch.

Attempted Homewrecker
 Bewitched / int_4e2ad9
comment
Attempted Homewrecker: In the episode "Man's Best Friend", Rodney, an obnoxious young warlock Samantha used to babysit, pops in expecting Sam to run away with him. When she refuses, he returns in the form of a dog to endear himself to an unknowing Darrin while intentionally invoking Sam's wrath to drive a wedge between them. Then, he orchestrates talk of Sam having an affair with him getting back to Darrin to prove he doesn't trust her. When Sam confessing that her alleged affair was with the dog leads to her and Darrin having a fight, Rodney drops the ruse, thinking he's been proven right. Unfortunately for Rodney, Darrin believed Sam from the start, he just wanted to handle the situation without Sam having to break her record for days without using magic. In the episode "Once in a Vial", Endora summons one of Sam's exes, Rollo, in hopes there is still enough of a spark between them to make her finally leave Darrin. After a false start, Rollo, eager to correct the one blot on his otherwise flawless love record, agrees to come to a dinner party at the Stephens residence. When Sam continues giving him the cold shoulder, Rollo takes Endora's suggestion and tries to slip Sam one of his love potions, but things go sideways when the spiked drink winds up being drunk by Endora and she falls madly in love with Darrin's latest client.

In one episode, Darrin comes up with a traditional "old crone" witch silhouette as a mascot for a candy company client. Samantha is offended and convinces Darrin to go with a sexier witch silhouette, which looks like Samantha in the Animated Credits Opening. Darrin is fired because the client liked the old witch look more.

Rhyming Wizardry
 Bewitched / int_52ecdc65
comment
Rhyming Wizardry: Rhyming spells occasionally appear in the series, usually as a sign of high-level magic, while simpler feats, like telekinesis or conjuring objects, are accomplished through physical gestures, including Samantha's famous nose-twitch. A few examples: In one episode, Endora tries to teach Tabitha a spell that goes "Wizards from the yesteryear, from this moment disappear!". Aunt Clara is a frequent victim of this trope. After bungling a spell, she will try to remember the exact rhyming counter-charm needed to undo it, only to struggle to get the wording right and cause more trouble. As a general rule, it seems that casting spells to directly affect mortal minds requires rhyming power. The episode "Samantha's Shopping Spree" proves that they don't have to be good rhymes, either, as Samantha's Reset Button charm (spoken to a salesclerk who's been transformed into a mannequin) is "You won't remember anything bad, / And you'll follow my lead when I talk to your dad!" Many magic mishaps come from accidental puns or word confusion in such incantations, causing Bonaparte to appear when trying to summon a napoleon pastry and Julius Ceasar to appear when trying to summon the salad.

Fantastic Racism
 Bewitched / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: Witches and mortals really don't get along. Serena went back and forth, as did Uncle Arthur. They looked down at mortals, but did not appear to be totally contemptuous of them, and sometimes sided with Sam and Darrin. Uncle Arthur does admit in one episode that he genuinely likes Darrin, while Darrin considers him to be the "best friend he has in Sam's family". Endora was flanderized to have nothing but contempt for mortals. Early episodes highlighted the fact that Endora was genuinely looking out for Samantha's best interests, and that her enmity toward Darrin was Nothing Personal. Whether she was trying to drive him away or merely testing him to see if he could handle marrying into a family of witches is anyone's guess. Occasionally Endora will use her magic to help Darrin (and by extension Samantha and the children — Larry normally being the victim/subject of her spells in these cases) with the usual unintended consequences. Samantha's family may have hated him and used magic to torment him, but Darrin himself often shows his true nature by thinking magic is unnatural, wrong to use in any circumstance. He routinely tries to repress that part of her nature, no matter how trivially she uses it. Elizabeth Montgomery herself has stated that the show was prejudiced. Averted with Aunt Clara. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body, and Darrin shows genuine affection for her. At the same time, they all frequently mention friendships with current and past mortal royalty or rulers, famous artists, etc. Endora admits without any embarrassment to having had a fling with the mortal Sir Walter Raleigh. See If It's You, It's Okay For a race that allegedly looks down upon mortals, witches and warlocks seem to spend a lot of time imitating mortal trends and styles in clothing and music, and they seem to prefer literature and art and music created by mortals to any created by witches or warlocks.

Generic Name: Darrin's father has the very plain and unimpressive name of Frank, which is a problem when Darrin and Samantha decide to name their son after him. Samantha's father Maurice is particularly incensed, refusing to stand by while his grandson is given such an unforgivably bland name. When the two grandfathers meet, Maurice hopefully asks if "Frank" happens to be short for "Franklin", only for Frank to tell him it isn't. Ironically, they eventual settle on an even more generic name — Adam — which Maurice likes because it was his father's name. (No, he wasn't that Adam.)

Brought Down to Normal: Samantha became unable to use her powers in one episode, after spending so long trying to act like a mortal. Endora and Dr. Bombay try to unclog her powers by levitating her, but Darrin interrupts to accuse Sam of magically helping him without his permission. She then starts performing uncontrollable feats of magic. It's also revealed that the Witches' Council (the governing body of the magic world) can do this as the ultimate punishment. In one episode, they try to strong-arm Samantha into disavowing her marriage to Darrin; she refuses, and they remove her powers while they debate the case. Uncle Arthur and Serena support Sam and have the same problem. This also seems to happen gradually to magic users over time, if Aunt Clara is any indication—she becomes forgetful, and her powers fade as well (although it's never made clear if her abilities are actually weakening or if she simply can't remember how to use them properly).

Unfazed Everyman: Darrin. Aside from being married to a witch, a lot of episodes shown that Darrin's life would have been plagued by the supernatural even without Sam. He had been cursed by nymphs, was once sought after by a youth-stealing witch, possessed by ghosts, and his family once owned leprechaun servants. Also neighbor Abner Kravitz. One of the reasons his wife Gladys could never convince him that there was something unusual about Samantha, is that on the rare occasions he did see something strange, he didn't regard it as out of the ordinary. For example, in one episode, Dr. Bombay gets turned into a horse. While waiting to be turned back, he passes the time by playing a game of chess. When Abner finds out there's a chess-playing horse at the Stephens house... he challenges it to a game.

Jerkass Has a Point: From Endora's perspective, Samantha's marriage to a mortal will be over before you know it since a mortal lifespan is implied to 1/10 or less that of a witch's lifespan, but she still objects because she knows that marrying a mortal will set up Samantha (and their children!) for centuries of grief after he dies. (The series all but states that witches can do nothing to prolong mortal lifespans.)

Magic A Is Magic A
 Bewitched / int_6c3d1777
comment
Magic A Is Magic A: The show had surprisingly consistent rules for magic in an era where Negative Continuity was almost the rule for sitcoms. Among the ones we saw: Often, only the mage who originally cast a spell can reverse it (this was the Hand Wave given to explain why Sam didn't simply make whatever weird object or person Endora, Uncle Arthur, Aunt Clara, or Tabitha had summoned disappear). Furthermore, the witch or warlock in question had to use an incredibly specific counterspell, or it wouldn't work. When Uncle Arthur was pranked into believing he had taught Darrin how to turn Endora into a parrot, he panicked because only Darrin then could reverse the spell and he could not imagine any way he could teach Darrin how to do so, in effect leaving Endora a parrot forever. When a magic user could interfere with another's spells, they had to know the exact one that had been cast. In one instance, Samantha's puckish Cousin Henry turns an overbearing salesman into a mannequin while she and Endora were distracted; the two older witches couldn't reverse the hex until Tabitha showed them what curse Henry had used in the first place (getting in a great example of You Didn't Ask when questioned why she didn't speak up sooner). Certain magic spells required physical gestures, while others were purely verbal. One episode sees Endora transforming a tin soldier into a life-sized living doll to keep an eye on Tabitha for her; Tabitha promptly repeats the physical action her grandmother used and turns her entire toy collection into giant playmates. Samantha initially told a frog-transformed-into-a-man that she couldn't reverse another witch's spell, but then she found out that he had purchased the spell and states that spells done purely for money or similar compensation could be undone by any other witch.

Flashy Teleportation
 Bewitched / int_6d0d209c
comment
Flashy Teleportation: Whenever a witch or warlock teleports (or "pops" as they call it), a sound is heard, usually a "ding!" but in Serena's case, a guitar noise. It's the usual way that witches and warlocks get around. They could also do this to other people, either sending them elsewhere or bringing them to the witch, which sometimes led to instances of Inconvenient Summons. It also worked through time as well as space with a little a extra effort. No distance limitation was ever shown, and travel at least to other planets was possible. Although in one episode where Endora sent half of Darrin to Japan, she complains that bringing him back will be difficult because she zapped him across the International Date Line.

The Thing That Would Not Leave: Happens when Gladys and Abner Kravitz get into a huge fight, and Abner stays with Darrin and Samantha for a few days, refusing to patch things up with his wife. Made even worse when Abner's snoring keeps them both awake at night, combined with his odd love for brussels sprouts. Samantha eventually gets involved by making them both dream about the day Abner proposed. When they wake up, they both run out the door and into each other's arms.

The Masquerade: Concealing the magical goings-on in the Stephens household is a recurring theme in most episodes. It is complicated considerably by Endora's flair for the dramatic, as well as uncontrolled outbursts of magic from characters such as Aunt Clara and Tabitha.

George Jetson Job Security: Darrin, which is peculiar given how often it is said that he is very well-respected in the advertising business, and presumably would get snatched up by another agencynote like—say—Sterling Cooper; after all, he's also a 1960s ad man if McMann & Tate ever did fire him for more than a few hours.

Panicky Expectant Father: Darrin while waiting for Tabitha's delivery. Another episode does a gender-flipped version: Darrin insists that he knows what a pregnant Sam is going through, and Endora makes him eat his words by hexing him to be a Mister Seahorse who experiences pregnancy symptoms. When Darrin and Sam realize what's going on, Darrin has a lengthy Imagine Spot about him giving birth, and we see a panicky expectant Sam pacing the lobby and handing out cigars after she hears the good news!

Henpecked Husband: Hilariously both played straight and subverted with Abner Kravitz. Gladys often shrieks at him about the things she witnesses while spying on the Stephens household. But Abner usually continues to go about his own business, ignoring her entirely. At one point he tells her to talk to her psychiatrist. Gladys responds by lamenting that he doesn't believe her either.

Endora more than likely would already be insufferable to deal with as a mortal. But the fact that she has an almost limitless supply of magic makes dealing with her hell, as Darrin was fully aware. On those occasions when she lost her powers, she would pitifully manipulate him into waiting on her hand and foot. You know, like an ordinary mother-in law.

Things go smoothly at first, but when the conveyor belt speeds up, their futile attempts to keep up lead to Serena and Arthur themselves getting covered in chocolate.

Truth in Television: Aunt Clara in particular. At the time Bewitched came out, it was genuinely believed that senility and feebleness are inevitable and inescapable consequences of aging, not realizing how much of this came instead from having had childhoods during the Great Depression and earlier and how much of this would be countered by modern medicine, and so modern notions of Alzheimers and such do not apply to the assumptions of the series. Science Marches On indeed! For this reason, many of the episodes involving Aunt Clara include a plea to the audience to show compassion for their elders and what was believed to be inevitable losses (of the sort famously recounted in Shakespeare's All the world's a stage monologue).

Wizards Live Longer: While they definitely do age, at what rate is never really made clear. Most witches and warlocks (including Samatha) are casually mentioned to be centuries old. This is a point of some concern to Darrin when it dawns on him that Samantha is not going to age the way that he will. note  Also a cause of worry amongst Samantha's relatives who don't know what Tabitha and Adam's mixed human and witch genes will affect their ageing.

Magic Feather: In one episode, after being belittled by Mr. Tate one time too many, Darrin began to lose his confidence and considered quitting. The next morning, Samantha offered him a "magic potion" (actually just a glass of orange juice) that she said would increase his self-confidence. At a meeting with their new client, Darrin showed him the ad campaign that Tate had previously dismissed as unprofessional, and the client liked the new campaign. Samantha later admitted to Darrin that she didn't use any magic on him.

She helps her by using her magic to release the lock by making it levitate. The stocks were also used in another episode in Season 7, "Samantha's Old Salem Trip". Darrin Stephens walks by a woman in feet stocks, but he too ends up in the pillory later in the episode.

Not Me This Time
 Bewitched / int_95b875b1
comment
Not Me This Time: Happens in quite a few episodes, as Darrin usually assumes that his troubles are being caused by Endora. Endora claims to be innocent, or doesn't show up in the episode at all, and later it turns out to be someone else screwing with Darrin — or the problem was completely mundane with no magic involved. The Season Two episode "My Boss, the Teddy Bear" exemplifies this trope. Larry does a good deed for Endora, and she's so touched that she decides to reward him by conjuring up a teddy bear he's been trying to get for his son. When Darrin sees the bear in Larry's office and hears Endora dropped it off, he automatically assumes that Endora's transformed him into the toy. Given that Endora's done similar things in the past, it's somewhat understandable, but it's still a knee-jerk reaction. It wasn't just Endora, either—Darrin often assumed that any strange goings-on in his life were caused by magic. The first season in particular is rife with this. In "Your Witch is Showing," he thinks that an obnoxious new assistant is a warlock who's trying to ruin his career (he's actually just a jerk, and Darrin's own habits are to blame for some of the problem); in "The Cat's Meow," he's paranoid that Samantha has transformed herself into a cat to spy on him when he's on a business trip to Chicago (it's just an everyday house cat...although a large heron that's seen throughout the episode turns out to be Endora in disguise); in "Help, Help, Don't Save Me," Samantha comes up with some catchy advertising slogans for a new client, and Darrin immediately accuses her of using witchcraft, because there's no way she could have come up with them herself (she did). But "Love is Blind" is the biggest offender: Samantha's mousy friend Gertrude wants to find a boyfriend, and Darrin's client Kermit, a handsome artist (played by Adam West) is smitten with her. Darrin quickly accuses Gertrude of being a witch and putting Kermit under a love spell. This one gets a reaction from Samantha, who's understandably angry at her husband for his accusations—Gertrude isn't a witch, and magical beings don't have the power to mess with love. One episode features an automatic garage door opener (new technology for the time!) that's tuned incorrectly so that airplane radios open and close it. This leads to one of the most spectacular examples in the whole show. First, Gladys suspects Samantha (of course). Then Samantha suspects Endora who's offended that she would pull a prank so droll. And then Darrin suspects Samantha is doing it so that the company can refund the garage door opener. And Darrin expects it Samantha again when he asks her to open the stuck door with her magic right when a plane flies over.

Half-Human Hybrid: Tabitha and Adam. While witches and warlocks look human, their innate magical powers and vastly longer lifespans put them safely outside of the mainstream human species.

In the episode "Once in a Vial", Endora summons one of Sam's exes, Rollo, in hopes there is still enough of a spark between them to make her finally leave Darrin. After a false start, Rollo, eager to correct the one blot on his otherwise flawless love record, agrees to come to a dinner party at the Stephens residence. When Sam continues giving him the cold shoulder, Rollo takes Endora's suggestion and tries to slip Sam one of his love potions, but things go sideways when the spiked drink winds up being drunk by Endora and she falls madly in love with Darrin's latest client.

Enslaved Tongue: Sam's mother puts a spell on Darrin that causes him to start talking like a three-year-old — right in front of his boss! On another occasion, she casts a spell that causes him to constantly speak in cliches.

Aunt Clara is a frequent victim of this trope. After bungling a spell, she will try to remember the exact rhyming counter-charm needed to undo it, only to struggle to get the wording right and cause more trouble.

Ms. Fanservice: Notice how Elizabeth Montgomery's skirts kept getting shorter and shorter in the last few seasons (and her bra straight up disappeared in the last season). Cranked up to eleven whenever she played Serena. Carol Wayne as the titular Bunny in "A Bunny for Tabitha", accidentally created during one of Uncle Arthur's magic tricks.

Satire
 Bewitched / int_b3a49cdb
comment
Satire: Although the series seldom questioned the sexism of its time, it tackled sexism subtly in that Samantha was never once portrayed as less intelligent or capable than Darrin, witchcraft or not. Unlike I Dream of Jeannie, in which Jeannie was (nominally) subservient to her Master's wishes, Sam was never anything less than Darrin's partner. Theirs was a very egalitarian marriage, which is why Sam refrained from using magic unless necessary — not out of obedience to her husband, but out of respect for him. It also continually satirized suburban conformity through Darrin's desperation to appear identical to everyone else, social snobbery through Darrin's parents, and racism both through Darrin's attitude about witches and Endora's prejudice against mortals. With mixed results, the series often satirized obsessive consumerism through Darrin, Larry Tate, and the advertising client of the week. (Word of God is that the show's producers and writers intended to satirize consumerism more sharply but were forbidden to do so by the network and commercial sponsors.) Corporate careerism was sent up by Darrin's near-slavish deference to his employer, as well as Larry's almost complete lack of backbone regarding clients—he was willing to say and do anything they wanted if it meant securing their money. And some viewers claim to detect a subtle satire of homophobia, primarily through Uncle Arthur, as many of the people involved in the series are now known to have been gay and/or gay-friendly. Plus the very premise of an "invisible" subculture of unusual people, existing alongside the everyday world, encouraged gays (and others) to identify. It didn't hurt that Endora was practically TV's first Drag Queen, in look if not in... parts.note Agnes Moorehead was widely suspected of being a lesbian, an accusation she never confirmed, although she did like to play with people's heads regarding it in interviews.

Operation: Jealousy: In one episode when Gladys Kravitz moves into the Stephens' home after intending to divorce Abner, Samantha tries to get them back together by putting a spell on the town butcher to make him fall in love with Gladys, making Abner jealous to the point of wanting to fight for his wife back. In "Samantha's Good News", Endora seethes when Maurice brings home his much younger and attractive assistant, turning her into an ugly old woman and threatening to get an "ectoplasmic interlocutory" (divorce). Samantha tries to mend this by bringing back an old rival of Maurice's (who also happens to be a Shakespeare fan) and make it appear like he and Endora are having a fling.

Aerith and Bob: While the male family members have mainstream names like Darrin, Maurice, Arthur, and Adam, this trope applies to the female family members. Endora, Hagatha, Enchantra, Grimalda.... and Clara, the only name in the group that anybody had ever heard before.note Mary (Madge Blake) only appeared in the Season 1 episode "The Witches Are Out"; Aunt Bertha is in several first-season episodes, played by Reta Shaw, who also played Hagatha. Samantha, Serena, and Tabitha are somewhat common now, but weren't when the series began. The series is what popularized those names.

The 1999–2008 Soap Opera Passions features Juliet Mills as Tabitha Lenox, a genuine witch whose daughter is named Endora and whose parents are a mortal named Darrin and a witch named Samantha. Furthermore, Bernard Fox has made two appearances on the show as his Bewitched character, Dr. Bombay. Incidentally, Mills also starred in "Nanny and the Professor," a less memorable fantastic sitcom about a nanny with ESP. It lasted three seasons, airing around the same time as "Bewitched."

Shout-Out: Endora's name is a reference to the Witch of Endor in the first Book of Samuel. In "Samantha's Power Failure," Serena and Uncle Arthur get a job at an ice cream plant, preparing frozen chocolate covered bananas, where at one point, the conveyor belt speeds up, much like what Lucy and Ethel dealt with in the famous "Job Switching" episode of I Love Lucy; it's very possible that it was deliberate, as William Asher directed those specific episodes of both series.

Hot Witch: Samantha Stevens is a blonde with legs to die for, and several men through the series remark how outstandingly attractive she is. She's also a witch who comes from a supernatural world and she has the power to warp reality in the mortal world. Serena (also played by series star Elizabeth Montgomery in a dual role) is an equally hot brunette witch, who is Samantha's identical cousin. She is more prone to cheerfully flaunting her hotness than Samantha. In one episode, Darrin comes up with a traditional "old crone" witch silhouette as a mascot for a candy company client. Samantha is offended and convinces Darrin to go with a sexier witch silhouette, which looks like Samantha in the Animated Credits Opening. Darrin is fired because the client liked the old witch look more.

All Part of the Show: The most commonly-used explanation for whatever magical wackiness was going on in any given episode: it was all part of Darrin's latest creative advertising campaign. In the episode "It's Magic", Sam steps in to the role of assistant to down-on-his-luck magician The Great Zeno and discreetly fixes the tricks he fumbles to help him get his confidence back. Then, when his old assistant barges in and takes over on his TV debut, messes with her from offstage in a way that makes it look like part of his act.

If It's You, It's Okay: Despite their constant criticism of mortals, Endora and Maurice frequently mention (or name-drop) friendships with current and past mortal kings, queens, prime ministers, presidents, great artists, and religious/philosophical leaders. Both of them seem to see any mortal with a drive towards greatness and a willingness to rise above the rest of the world as honorary witches even as they rail against the pettiness of most mortals. Both Endora and Maurice have stated a willingness to accept Darrin if he were a more wealthy or powerful person in those episodes in which one or the other uses magic to bring Darrin fiscal riches or enchants his personality to make him more worldly ambitious and financially successful.

To be fair Samantha herself seems committed to living a 'normal' mortal life.

As a general rule, it seems that casting spells to directly affect mortal minds requires rhyming power. The episode "Samantha's Shopping Spree" proves that they don't have to be good rhymes, either, as Samantha's Reset Button charm (spoken to a salesclerk who's been transformed into a mannequin) is "You won't remember anything bad, / And you'll follow my lead when I talk to your dad!"

 Bewitched / int_da360137
comment
Prone to Tears: Uncle Arthur is a mild example of this: it's not unusual for him to disappear to "pout" if Darrin says or does something to upset him, or even engage in almost childish disputes with Endora if he doesn't get his way. In, "Weep No More My Willow," Samantha finds herself under a spell as a result of a mistake on Dr. Bombay's part: he tries to cure her dying willow tree, only for her to start crying uncontrollably whenever the wind blows. In, "Samantha Loses Her Voice," Louise is on the verge of collapse, and intends on divorcing Larry... all because he didn't choose her to be on his volley ball team. Esmeralda: she falls apart (literally fading away) at the slightest hint of criticism. In general, witches and warlocks seem to have relatively little emotional self-control, and throughout the series they have expressed astonishment at Samantha's patience and serenity in the face of mortal annoyances and inconveniences they find traumatic those few times they have lost their powers and had to live "the mortal way". Endora states in several episodes that she offended by the fact that Samantha can be so calm about minor mortal annoyances and once states that she thought she raised Samantha to be unwilling to put up with such things.

Hand Wave

comment
Often, only the mage who originally cast a spell can reverse it (this was the Hand Wave given to explain why Sam didn't simply make whatever weird object or person Endora, Uncle Arthur, Aunt Clara, or Tabitha had summoned disappear). Furthermore, the witch or warlock in question had to use an incredibly specific counterspell, or it wouldn't work. When Uncle Arthur was pranked into believing he had taught Darrin how to turn Endora into a parrot, he panicked because only Darrin then could reverse the spell and he could not imagine any way he could teach Darrin how to do so, in effect leaving Endora a parrot forever.

Make a Wish: Endora gives Darrin (without his knowledge) three wishes, in order to prove to Samantha that he wants a fling. Although there are some wacky hijinx, Darrin doesn't actually use them until the end of the episode. note  He makes Endora appear with the first. He then forces Endora to leave them alone for one week with the second. Darrin forgets to use the third and absently wishes for a hot shower when he has a stiff back, and he teleports to the shower fully clothed.

Flanderization
 Bewitched / int_e5e6640b
comment
Endora was flanderized to have nothing but contempt for mortals. Early episodes highlighted the fact that Endora was genuinely looking out for Samantha's best interests, and that her enmity toward Darrin was Nothing Personal. Whether she was trying to drive him away or merely testing him to see if he could handle marrying into a family of witches is anyone's guess. Occasionally Endora will use her magic to help Darrin (and by extension Samantha and the children — Larry normally being the victim/subject of her spells in these cases) with the usual unintended consequences.

Later, Mr. Brockway, one of Larry Tate's clients, wants Darrin removed from the account, believing that Darrin is in an interracial marriage relationship.

Hilarity Ensues when Brockway sees Samantha, Darrin and Larry Tate with African-American faces. Afterwards, Brockway apologizes for his insensitive racist tendencies, and the Stephenses invite him to an "integrated turkey dinner", i.e., dark and white meat.

Younger Than They Look
 Bewitched / int_e9db9908
comment
Younger Than They Look: Because Dick York was in the latter half of his 30s when he first played Darrin, it's easy to forget that in Bewitched continuity, Darrin is supposed to be in his early 20s and only recently out of college. Both witches such as Endora and Uncle Arthur and mortals such as Larry Tate repeatedly refer to him as "young man" or "boy" (a common term of affection for a young man at the time albeit seldom used with affection by most of Samantha's relatives), and he frequently uses "sir" for Maurice and "ma'am" for Endora the few times he is trying to make peace with her. So many of his behaviors that seem regressive or childish in a man Dick York's real age make more sense for someone as young as Darrin is supposed to be in the series continuity.

Crossover
 Bewitched / int_eb7c34cf
comment
Crossover: The 1999–2008 Soap Opera Passions features Juliet Mills as Tabitha Lenox, a genuine witch whose daughter is named Endora and whose parents are a mortal named Darrin and a witch named Samantha. Furthermore, Bernard Fox has made two appearances on the show as his Bewitched character, Dr. Bombay. Incidentally, Mills also starred in "Nanny and the Professor," a less memorable fantastic sitcom about a nanny with ESP. It lasted three seasons, airing around the same time as "Bewitched." Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York voiced prehistoric versions of Samantha and Darrin in an episode of The Flintstones.

Jerkass: Endora more than likely would already be insufferable to deal with as a mortal. But the fact that she has an almost limitless supply of magic makes dealing with her hell, as Darrin was fully aware. On those occasions when she lost her powers, she would pitifully manipulate him into waiting on her hand and foot. You know, like an ordinary mother-in law.

Honorary Uncle
 Bewitched / int_eba4e300
comment
Honorary Uncle: This seemed to be the case with Samantha's many, many family members. While Endora and Uncle Arthur were definitely brother and sister, it was extremely unclear exactly how people like Aunt Clara (who seems to be older than Endora, making her Samantha's great-aunt—but no mention of her sister, and thus Endora's mother, is ever made) and characters like Cousins Pandora and Henry or Aunts Hagatha and Enchantra were related to one another. As such, it's probably this trope, with family members simply addressing one another by whatever familial sobriquet is most appropriate.

Malicious Misnaming: Endora would constantly diss Darrin by calling him things like "Durwood", "What's-his-name," "Darwin," "Dum-Dum," "Dolphin," etc. Serena would also do this.

Mundane Utility
 Bewitched / int_eff83d77
comment
Mundane Utility: Witchcraft works just fine for doing domestic chores, and at one point Samantha even uses it to reassemble and repair their television when the repairman tries to cheat her by inflating how much work will be involved. However, Darrin strongly disapproves of her doing this sort of thing, which could be seen as somewhat Jerkass. While plenty of people enjoy cooking, decorating and gardening, almost nobody enjoys dusting, vacuuming or doing windows. There is a marvelous scene in which Darrin tries to persuade Doctor Bombay to market some of his miracle cures to mortals — not to help out humanity but as a way for the Doctor to gain wealth and material luxuries. Doctor Bombay just stares at Darrin blankly and asks him what he (a witch with godlike powers) would need or want with such things. Darrin misinterprets this entirely as a statement of noble self-sacrifice.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 Bewitched / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Esmeralda can be seen as a younger and somewhat more neurotic version of Aunt Clara. Depending on the Writer, and the situation at hand, Larry often ends up in the crosshairs of the chaos brought on by Samantha's family in episodes where Darrin is absent. The episode "Samantha's Shopping Spree" features a prank-loving, wisecracking warlock relative of Samantha's—no, not Uncle Arthur, a one-time character named Cousin Henry. The writing is so based around Arthur's style of humor (and Arthur himself is even name-dropped in the episode, with Sam initially thinking that Henry's jokes are her uncle's work) that it comes across as Paul Lynde not being available for filming.

Anything but That!: Played for Laughs in "The Joker Is a Card." Darrin calls Endora "Mom," and she replies by getting his name right, much to his and Sam's shock. Endora goes on to say that she promises to try to be nicer to Darrin provided he never, ever calls her "Mom" again.

Theme Naming

comment
Theme Naming: Like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the majority of female witches on the show had first names ending in the letter "A"—Samantha, Tabatha, Endora, Aunt Clara, Esmeralda, Pandora, Bertha, Hagatha...the only witch who had a non-A name ending was Mary. Sabrina and this series set this as a precedent: both the live-action Sabrina and Wizards of Waverly Place continued the trend of witches having "A"s at the end of their names.

Literal Genie: Many spells go off exactly as specified not as desired, most often according to Rule of Funny or Rule of Cool and most often involving puns or a Mondegreen Gag: Esmeralda accidentally summons a prehistoric saurian when she scolds Tabitha to stop teasing her friend Dinah or she will make "Dinah sore" ... Uncle Arthur accidentally summons the historical figure Napoleon when trying to conjure the dessert of the same name ... Endora tries to make Darrin's fears about speaking Spanish disappear and instead Darrin himself disappears whenever he tries to speak Spanish ... Uncle Arthur tries to conjure a cotton-tail bunny and instead conjures a cocktail bunny, with some Lampshade Hanging as he openly complains to the Magic that it misheard the words of his spell Endora finds the confusion with hr spell hilarious, suggesting that it is not that uncommon an experience in the witching world

Shown Their Work
 Bewitched / int_ffad4e9f
comment
Shown Their Work: Bewitched is a fairly accurate sitcom recreation of real world Western European beliefs and tropes regarding faeries, including their constant shapeshifting and indifference to many of the laws of physics, their trickster side, their reality-warping powers (though in folklore, it is more often illusion and glamour), and the tragedy inherent when a faerie and a mortal fall in love. Both the term "mortals" and the use of rhyming magical spells come directly from Shakespeare's oeuvre, and Maurice and Endora might as well be named Oberon and Titania. From the perspective of a scholar of myth or literature, Bewitched is impressively thought out.
