Bewitched DVD news: Announcement for Bewitched - The Complete 6th Season | TVShowsOnDVD.com  I like the choice of color and pictures better on this release but it's sad that they aren't including the "Elizabeth Montgomery in" at the top. Also, the release as some mis-information at the end about BW running 256 episodes and only through 71. There are 254 episodes total and it finished filming in 1971 but aired through 1972. And it seems they decided to regale us with the "Mini-sodes" that were posted on the internet as extras. I think that is ridiculous! There should be a featurette about the changing of the actors, but what can we expect from Sony. Anyway, I'm REALLY excited!!!! |

It's been a long wait (last July!) since the fifth season release, and fans are anxious! Well, the patience has paid off: this morning Sony Pictures Home Entertainment officially announces Bewitched - The Complete 6th Season on DVD! The 4-disc set contains all 30 episodes from Dick Sargent's first year as "Darrin," and includes the episode where Adam Stephens is born! It streets on May 6th (note: we previously said the 20th; we regret the error). You'll also see a ton of guest stars as always, including Johnny Whitaker, Deacon Jones, Jay Robinson, William Schallert, Pat Priest, Paul Sorensen, Danny Bonaduce, Bernie Kopell, Carol Wayne, Charles Lane, and Jack Cassidy (father of David and Shaun) plus recurring guests such as Agnes Moorehead (Endora), Alice Ghostley (Esmerelda), Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay), Maurice Evans (Maurice), Paul Lynde (Uncle Arthur), Sandra Gould (Gladys Kravitz) and George Tobias (Abner Kravitz). The release will cost $39.95 SRP for 760 minutes covering all 30 episodes. As we said, those episodes are in color, and with full screen video, while audio is in English Mono, French Mono, Spanish Mono, and Portuguese Mono. Subtitles are English, Portuguese and Spanish. The only extras will be a couple of "minisodes" (3-6 minute super-short versions of regular Sony-owned television episodes from classic primetime shows). We've got the studio description for you, plus an early look at the box art (not necessarily the final front cover, so this could be subject to change) UPDATE: Sony has now kindly provided us with the final box art for this release: 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. Tabitha runs away to be in "Jack and the Beanstalk." Darrin is frozen in a mirror when Maurice finds out the baby isn't named for him. Endora turns Darrin into a witch. Serena returns to complicate things, and Samantha has to get rid of Santa when he overstays his welcome. Not sure if they are changing this or if this is the final! |

I have been searching for news like crazy and I just can't find anything.. I have been really wanting it to come out soon so that I can have my series FINALLY complete.. My goodness what is taking them so long to bring it out.. You would think that we would have some news or pre-order info since it takes so long to come out anyway before now.. I am kind of worried about it but I know that they would not forget the last season. Anyway I tried to pre-order Bewitched Season 6 from Amazon but it sais that it is not up yet.. Did they take it down? I really can't wait to pre-order it, I have been waiting for it, which seems like forever...

There is not many episodes of the later seasons of Bewitched that I have seen. I am only 23 and growing up Bewitched would come on cable all the time but now I never see them at all now but when I did most of them were the earlier seasons. I did not even know about a second child being born on Bewitched, Adam, until getting internet a few years ago and researching all of the TV shows that are my favourites. I am so disappointed that there may not be a Leave It To Beaver Season 3, I really want the rest of the seasons. Universal also did the same thing with Mama's family with not releasing season 2 so I don't understand. I heard that it may be because some or all of the episodes are cut nut I don't know if that is why or not. It just don't make since to me! Anyway I can't wait to get Bewitched Season 6 and I Dream Of Jeannie Season 5 on DVD, I just hope it doesn't take three more years for Bewitched to be complete since it is taking longer and longer every year.. :-D

I appreciate your comment, and coming from an american resident, I am delighted that you get my point. This is the way Sony should think with marketing products for specific territories. I know that french is not an american issue but it is still one on Canada's official language along with english. Sony TV products are always insulting a part of Canada when they insist ignoring french customers. Maybe you don't know that, but last december, Sony re-released season 1 of Bewitched as a market test for Canada and they included FRENCH audio instead of the PORTUGESE audio. I know a lot of people that where very happy to get it even 2 years after the first release. When I saw that there was french audio listed in the audio specs of TVShowsOnDVD, I thought to myself: Gee! They finally got that right! thinking that the market test prooved that the re-release had made great sales towards the french speaking consumers. Later this evening, I emailed Sony to know if there will be a different canadian season 6 edition just like the re-released of season 1. I have almost no hope on that, though. I just ordered the Belgium edition. It's $30 tax and shipping included, directly in my mailbox. I'll let you know guys about the quality, in the first week of april. |

I would never have thought to receive such positive support from members of the forum because of our need to have a French audio track on DVD. Many years ago, when French Canadian were fighting to get those on DVD, along with English and Spanish, US residents were not that positive about the aspect of losing some space on the disk for an extra language track. Many thought that this third track would diminish the picture quality of the program. They probably didn’t know that in Europe, most of the DVD do have 4 to 6 audio tracks on each products. They also have a dozen of subtitles. DVD manufactured in the US never pushed that limit. It is just too bad Canada almost never manufacture their own DVDs with , at least, the basic contain of the two official language of the country, which are English and French. Most of the DVD products are manufactured in the US. In the land of TV shows DVD from Sony Tristar, it’s an insult to the French consumers to find out that instead of French language track, we find Portuguese. I have nothing against the Portuguese community but they do not represent the official language of Canada.|
