Okay true story. Our daughter was born in 1994. My wife and I picked out her middle name. It was going to be my wife's middle name, Elizabeth. We couldn't agree on her first name. Right before her last push I said how about Samantha. She agreed and Samantha was born. It wasn't until about 2000 while watching Bewitched that I realized we named our Daughter after the character Samantha Steven's and the actress Elizabeth Montgomery.

[@rayasiala9375]

I absolutely love your show! I’ve never commented before, I was born in 1963 and I grew up watching all of the shows that you talk about and share a little bit of knowledge! Keep doing what you do because it’s absolutely fabulous! And for an old person like me to find out things that I didn’t know about the shows that I loved is a really cool thing.

[@lianedeangelo6344]

I loved Bewitch but like the first Darrin better. The 2nd Darrin was on an episode of Threes Company. Thanks Rick!

[@gailwatson4927]

I knew this. I was in school when we had announcement about JFK. Thanks for the information on this episode.

[@mickw.4912]

I Love Bewitched. Felt bad for the Darren who had the back issues.

[@markcarter822]

I've always love this show and still do to this day.

[@oantech4252]

YES.... More Bewitched.. I have lots of bloopers to point out especially since they spliced scenes because of the magic. THe show was sponsored by Chevrolet. Darrin drove some of the nicest late 60's now classic Chevrolet cars.

[@oantech4252]

Now.. Let's visit a small town in North Carolina called Mayberry.. There's so many easter egg nuggets there, you would have to do an entire series on. Andy Griffith was extremely upset when he heard of the Kennedy assassination as well. This Ernest T. Bass episode was delayed in filming due to the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy on November 22 1963. Jackie Joseph, best known for playing Ramona Ankrum in the series, explained that before the news broke, the cast and crew were laughing during the read-through of an episode. Jackie stated, "I'm just sitting in the room with them; it was such a tickle, and they enjoyed the read-through just like they were enjoying watching a show. You know, they were just laughing, getting a kick out of each other. I mean it continued; it went on and on. They were enjoying it while doing it. And nobody laughed at Don more than Andy. He was just hysterical." Then, suddenly, the mood changed. Joseph explained, "And then the awful news came that President Kennedy had been shot. One of the assistants in the office came in and, you know, just such a pall came over the room. Everybody was stunned." Andy Griffith The Andy Griffith Show According to Andy Griffith, he was not like Andy Taylor The decision was made to cut rehearsal short, and the cast and crew returned to continue work after a hard weekend of keeping their eyes glued to the television set, with rapt attention to any news broadcasts and updates. Still, while the mood was mournful when they returned to the set to shoot, it seemed that the actors were aware of the power that the series had to brighten spirits. No one knew this better than Don Knotts himself, who, despite all the sadness, was able to make others laugh that day. Joseph said, "Everybody was so professional and Don got everybody laughing, just by acting, by just doing his part."

Darren had to be written as a square. Otherwise, they wouldn't live there and never would have met Gladys.

[@jons.6216]

HUGE lifelong fan of Bewitched, Rick! Glad you're giving it another chance! Interesting bit of trivia about Sheila Sommers (Nancy Kovak), in that a character in the 1967 Matt Helm movie "The Ambushers" there was a character in it with the same name - not played by Kovak!

[@ronkemperful]

I was in the second grade at 2:30 pm when I first heard of the assassination of Kennedy. It truly was an event that put life on hold for many. Schools were closed, entire programming schedules on TV were canceled, everyone was glued to the television for updates. I even saw Oswald shot on live TV, and vividly I still sadly remember the solemn drums during the funeral procession. I understand that many television and movie productions were affected, including the filming of My Fair Lady.

[@theastewart6721]

@@ronkemperful I was in the first grade and remember getting released early once the news spread. Very sad time for our country.

[@ferreirj123]

Dick York was my favorite Darrin. Didn't like Dick Sargent , he was very annoying.

[@MsBackstager]

Yet Dick S was the original first choice for Darrin.

[@whiteowl4097]

YES! Do more Bewitched. I LOVE that show still.

[@theastewart6721]

Hi Rick. I had no idea about any rehearsal or shooting schedules. That event will forever be etched in my mind. I was in first grade and let out of school early once the news spread. All of us kids were wondering what was going on and then they told us. We were all outside and the world was a different place for a while. We watched it all on our black and white tv. I absolutely love Bewitched! It is one of my all time favorite shows and I still watch it now. Much more so then I Dream of Jeannie, although I love that show too. Yes to more Bewitched content. I did know all about William Asher though. Thanks for sharing this information!😊

[@RichardRitenour0522]

I am so glad you gave Bewitched another chance, you won't regret it! I did know about the delay, this is one of my favorite shows, in the top 5! Please do more Rick and thanks!

[@Victor-gi3dy]

So glad I got to meet Erin Murphy who played Tabitha & Bernard Fox who played Dr.Bombay 😊😊❤👍

[@ricknineg]

You’re so lucky to have met her!

[@Victor-gi3dy]

@ricknineg & Bernard Fox was also in an episode of the andy griffith show & in the movie Titanic

[@paulavallone9296]

Great job on the video! I do remember hearing about this and also the situation on Gillian's Island. And yes I would love to see you do more on Bewitched. I was 5 years old when the show premiered, as a little kid I was fascinated by all the magic and special effects of the time. I've also watched the reruns multiple times over the decades since the original airings. Thanks for the great job you do on KZbin, looking forward to your next video!

[@cadeevans4623]

Didn't know about this tragic accident Rick loved this show too great classic show thanks a for sharing buddy

[@JamesBrown-i2e]

Rick, I would like to see more videos on Bewitched. Bewitched is one of my favorite shows from the 60's early 70's. Yes, I watched I Dream of Jennie as well, but Bewitched was my favorite show between the two. I like the movie Bell, Book, and Candle with Kim Novac and Jimmy Stewart for which this show has a similar story.

[@mickw.4912]

OMG She was just on the episode of bonanza yesterday on MeTV 🤣🤣🤣

[@barbaragodfrey5846]

Love all your videos Rick yes please more Bewitched

[@juliemcmahan1207]

I loved Bewitched! I'm glad you took a second look. I'd love to hear more. Have a great weekend Rick!

[@ricknineg]

I’m glad as well? I’m having fun with it

[@stanzelko5243]

Did not know this. Thank you. Would like to see more.

[@byronbrewer33]

Definitely do more Bewitched!

[@tj921able]

I knew it, but tragic nonetheless 😔. TY for sharing this 🙏. God Bless You and stay safe 🙏 ❤️

[@marlenepearson3936]

I have always loved Bewitched. And I would love for you to cover it, Rick. I hope you will. I asked one time if you would do the Andy Griffith Show. And you said you didn't really watch it. Maybe give it another try. In the meantime, I'm excited about Bewitched ❤ You stay hopeful too, Rick. 🙏

[@mrfloxin]

Rick: I love to see you do more information on Bewitched! I do have ironic fact about your video! The Bewitched ploit episode celebrating exactly sixty years on September 17: 1964-2024! It would be fun if put video on KZbin Channel just to celebrate the anniversary of the show? I thought I let you know about it right now and you have a nice day!

[@TwilightZoneX]

Interesting History I was NOT aware of or perhaps forgot. Thank you. I was never really a fan of the show but learning some facts about it might be worthwhile if others think so.

[@MarksArk2]

Rick, I was just the opposite. I watched Bewitched, but not so much of I Dream of Jeannie. This was probably because my parents controlled the evening tv channels. I was 8 at the time JFK was assassinated and 9 when Bewitched premiered in September 1964.

[@proceduralnodes3d]

I was only two when it happened so I have no memories of it. However, I do remember, I believe you, talking about the Gillian's Island situtation and had heard that Montgomery/Asher were friends of the Kennedy's. I had no idea about the Andy Griffith situtation. I imagine a lot of workplaces were disrupted due to that event. (Not unlike 9/11)

[@GRT1865]

Ok Rick just don't let her "wrinkle" her noes at you. HAHAHA Everyone have a wonderful day.

[@mickw.4912]

Didn't know anything about this episode!!!!!!!! Thanks Rick!

[@Curlyman172000]

Please cover this show more often

[@tomcrown69]

I found the original Darrin to be enjoyable. I do not believe the unfounded claims that the audience was unaware of the change in actors portraying Darrin. It is worth noting that Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most aesthetically pleasing women to appear on television during that era.

[@williamcohen2447]

Great Vlog Rick heard before about JFK dying and how it affected the show would love to see more vlogs on Bewitched

[@ricknineg]

Original Darrin is the perfect casting for this role

[@The_Dudester]

A show has to be on air five years to develop enough episodes (100) for syndication. With that said, on those rare days when I took a "mental health" day off from school, I enjoyed seeing Bewitched (syndicated shows would be seen in the 9 AM to 10 AM block) as Bewitched was new to syndication in those days. My parents never watched the show and this was the only time I could watch the show.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Remember that back then a season might be 36 episodes!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Ha, I googled and there were 36 eps

[@judykessinger3552]

Yrs, please do more videos on Bewitched. Great show and look forward to more tidbits you find!

[@pl5624]

Gilligans island opening showed a flag at half staff.

[@ricknineg]

You’re right about that!

[@adventureswithmymother]

Id be ok with seeing more of this what I really want to see is more Star Trek since I'm still watching that since October of 1987 while I'm here not only be hopeful love one another while your at it

[@ddavenpAZ]

Not a fan of the show but support those who are. It had a lot of really good talent throughout its run, which in turn had to have kept things interesting on and off the set. You’ll have backstage stories aplenty to share for sure Rick. This one was great and already I’m hooked for more! 😊

[@bzydad]

I was watching Saturday morning tv,Bugs Bunny, Captain Kangaroo and The Jetsons when they were interrupted by the news of the shooting. 😢

[@kaesiegrace4732]

@@bzydad JFK was killed on a Friday.

[@kaesiegrace4732]

Nov 22, 1963

[@bzydad]

@kaesiegrace4732 Well, it must have been morning cartoons before I went to half day kindergarten. Sorry for the mistake as it was 61 years ago 🤔🤷‍♂️

[@kaesiegrace4732]

@bzydad oh I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to show you up. I apologize if it came off rude. I had no intention to hurt your memory. I was in the 3rd grade and they sent us home early.

[@bzydad]

@kaesiegrace4732 That was not my intention either. It made me look at my mom's children diary she kept on me. I actually went to school in the afternoon and I was picked up not soon after because of the assassination. Crazy times we lived in back then.

[@pl5624]

Lots of interesting characters on bewitched...star studded series.

[@wolfeesmom]

i love love love bewitched

[@markgordon5387]

I liked both Darrins but Dick York was better.

[@bejoyful]

Hi Rick; horrible what happened to JFK and one should seek RFK Jr.'s comments on the matter and be concerned especially now. Bewitched sitcom was taken from the 1942 movie; as I find with most sitcoms, the best shows are produced within 3-5 years. When Dick York left and from what I read, was not treated nicely, I lost all interest.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

We should all ignore Wormbrain

[@joshuaparshall1409]

I'm not trying to be rude but the males are warlocks not witches

[@lazyhomebody1356]

No! At Hogwarts, yes, but male witches today have respect for the fact that women started the whole thing!

[@KevinHoekman]

Sam!

[@billbucktube]

👍‼️

[@LetsGoChaseThatTrain]

I think the early episodes were good, but I think it simply ran too long and became too much of a kiddie show.

[@Onnioni1]

Darrin was a jerk.

[@secretchannel4747]

He was played as hapless and put upon rather well.. Dick York as a character actor specialized in those roles. Darrin didn’t have a chance.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Yes, he was! So controlling and wanting everything to be conventional. I was surprised his job was as creative as it was
