Editor's Note
Elizabeth Montgomery plays Samantha, a witch who trades in her magical powers for marriage--or tries to, anyway--in this classic sitcom from the 1960s. A witch who inherited her powers from her feisty mother Endora (Agnes Moorhead), Samantha agrees not to use her powers anymore when she decides to marry mere mortal Darrin Stephens (Dick York)--both of which actions disappoint her mother greatly. Not to worry, though, because most of the time Samantha just can't help herself, using her magic and creating many a hilariously sticky situation for Darrin, especially with his boss, Larry Tate (David White). This release includes the fifth season in its entirety, including episodes where Endora gives Darrin the world's biggest ego, Uncle Arthur (Paul Lynde) transports Napoleon into the future, and Samantha goes back in time to the streets of New Orleans in 1868.

| | Professional Reviews | DVD Times 7 of 10
Bewitched is a fun, whimsical sitcom that still entertains me even after having seen innumerable re-runs. The actors' comic timing is spot on, the situations genuinely amusing and the basic concept sound. Fans of the series will no doubt be glad it has finally seen a DVD release, though purists may want to hold out and get the R1 black-and-white version. (And I would appreciate it if those of you who feel that colourisation in itself warrants a Video score of zero refrain from attacking me simply because I disagree. Compared to contemporary shows that happened to be produced in colour, there is nothing seriously wrong with the look of this DVD release. It's just not the original B&W.)
