More proof at 1.45 that Dick Sargent was the first choice as Darrin after a screen test with Liz and Bill, was offered the job by Bill and Liz and turned it down because he was under contract to Universal.
Both were befuddled, but clearly DY's Darrin was by far the angrier of the two with DS being quite mellow and laid back by comparison relatively speaking.DY was the one always screaming and ranting and raving at Samantha whilst DS was just upset and disapproving.
The essential premise of the...
Remakes?????...........What Remakes????
Thank God we had 3 more seasons of Bewitched with Dick Sargent
I do not see what I want to see rather what is actually to be seen & is on the screen itself.
Others see what they choose to through a prism that is distorted by the affection that they feel...
Who was first cast as Darrin Stephens and by Whom?
Although some have said it is so, the following is not an incorrect story that is being repeated over & over again, rather it is proven & corroborated Documented fact and has been accepted as such over 40 years.
What is incorrect is the...
WTD. Carol Burnett variety show on METV with Elizabeth Montgomery
If any of you are recording the Carol Burnett Variety show on METV i am interested in trading for them.
Specifically for EP 2: GUESTS JONATHAN WINTERS AND EDDIE ALBERT
Guests Jonathan Winters and Eddie Albert. Originally aired on...
The dancing sticks was never included on the DVD releases of Bewitched but i have it on over a dozen episodes as i have the original 16 mm prints versions of the season one episodes.
The Program exchange was not connected to Screen Gems or Sony, it is a distinct syndication distribution company...
They were more in regards to addressing the whole issue from a historical context of the source of various Bewitched DVD releases so that fans in general will know the actual facts of where they originated from.
Because of the compression issue caused by so many more ep. per disc with Mill...
Sony did not make two different masters,they did not have to, they restored the old negatives for all 8 seasons once, then colorized the B/W seasons, then did NOT use the orig. negatives or create a new set of negatives from them, they simply took a colorized print of an episode,grey scaled it...
Your basing your whole premise on the Mill Creek print for #15 being the original unrestored print, you are mistaken, the reason it looks the same as the colorized version with the color turned off is because this Mill Creek print is exactly the same restored colorized print with the color...
Just look at a scene from the same episodes side by side on two TV's ( i have 3 TV's set up side by side) from both the colorized and B/W sets and you will see what it is..........and what those that have both sets have old me.................they are the same in all respects hence the...
The CH and SG VHS tapes had 42 B/W episodes from the first 2 seasons as they were originally seen in Fall 1964/Spring 1966, the first 8 CH tapes are all B/W episodes.
With the remakes of #15 and #14 in season two with a new opening teaser scene with new footage that would make it 74 episodes...
If i want to watch it in B/W occasionally it is no big thing i just turn down the color, or if want a real retro vintage ambiance i watch it on my direct 16 mm print to DVD transfers of the original studio prints with all the extras like sponsor openings and end credits, Bewitched connected...
The B/W version Sony discs are the colorized versions with the color turned off or grey scaled.
You do not have make new masters to simply grey scale the colorized ones to make a B/W version, the same colorized master is used while technically the color is turned off.
The restored B/W masters...
Sony put out complete season by season DVD's for all Bewitched episodes for a particular season.
They put out 2 versions for both season one & two, one a colorized version and two a version that was colorized but with the color turned off or in grey scale as they call it.
This B/W version was...
The Grey scaled B/W Bewitched DVD sets the first Two seasons.
The point is that Sony used a colorized turn the color off grey scale print for their B/W option on seasons one & two not the original print, if you have the colorized version & turn the color off then you get the exact same version...
Weeeeeeeeeeeeell a season 3 or 4 QO previously sponsored episode during daytime in season 5 would not have the QO sponsor opening or end credits with QO logo in all likelihood.
As i have only primetime uncut 16 mm print transfers not the edited ( by 3 1/2 min.) daytime prints i can't say for...
Starting in Season 3 the New Color opening was split, with the frying pan used for all Chevrolet sponsored episodes while all Quaker Oats sponsored episodes had the tea kettle color opening in seasons 3 & 4 after which Quaker Oats was replaced by Kodak as the co- sponsor of Bewitched.
Starting in Jan. 1968 Bewitched reruns began to be shown by ABC in their daytime programming 6 days a week to complement their prime time showings of the current Bewitched season at the time.
This continued until ABC lost the rights to Bewitched in Sept. 1973, this was most likely the...
I don't have both the Colorized and B/W versions of seasons one and two of Bewitched just the colorized one, but those that do can do as those that i know who have have done with both.
Just look at a scene from the same episodes side by side on two TV's ( i have 3 TV's set up side by side) from...

I agree, i enjoy the colorized episodes the same as i do the subsequent seasons, 6 of one half a dozen to another in my view.
If i want to watch it in B/W occasionally it is no big thing i just turn down the color, or if want a real retro vintage ambiance i watch it on my direct 16 mm print to...
There were something like 35 or 40 B/W Bewitched episodes put out on Columbia House or Screen Gems VHS tapes in the 1990's that are a great way to see them as they were originally seen on prime time back in the day, i have them all and even transferred them to DVD for posterity, it is like a...
Why?, because Sony are cheap &^*%&^ who could not care less about integrity or a sense of professional responsibility, they did this simply to save money, same reason the vintage extras on the Bewitched DVD's are so non existent.
Same reason they farmed the show out to Mill Creek to be...

If you have an old VHS tape of a B/W episode from CH or SG from the early 1990's compare that to the Mill Creek or Sony DVD version of that Episode.
I did watching them and it is pretty obvious to me.
Your basing your whole premise on the Mill Creek print for #15 being the original unrestored print, you are mistaken, the reason it looks the same as the colorized version with the color turned off is because this Mill Creek print is exactly the same restored colorized print with the color...

Especially the Episode: Man Takes a Trip March 25, 1960

There have been some releases on DVD but not of all the episodes or Liz Montgomery's episode as far as...
