Review(s): DVD Bewitched - The Complete Fourth Season
Great Comic Season
The fourth season of "Bewitched" is a delight. The series had established a universe of characters so that they had an excellent variety & balance by the fourth season. Several episodes were written with Darren away on business, presumably because Dick York was increasingly suffering from back problems. I thought that my favorite character Aunt Clara was well represented in episodes like "McTavish" where her warlock boyfriend Aucky buys a haunted castle that requires Samantha to zap over to England just as Darrin's parents are vacationing there. One professional reviewer did write, "Conspicuous by her absence throughout most of season four is Marion Lorne as 'Sam's' befuddled Aunt Clara, whose magical spells somehow always go awry. Seriously ill and suffering from a rapidly failing memory, the 84-year-old Marion Lorne was forced to severely cut back her work load; the actress died just after filming wrapped for the season, on May 9, 1968." While I didn't feel an absence of Clara because of great episodes like "Out of Sync, Out of Mind" where Clara's spell throws Samantha's voice out of whack & "Samantha's Thanksgiving to Remember" where the Stevens & Gladys Kravitz get whisked back to Plymouth. I also enjoy how the producers seemed to develop an ensemble cast such as bringing Craig Hunley back as a neighbor boy who wants to mow Darrin's lawn. On another season's episode, he'd been an orphan that Samantha takes to the North Pole to prove there is a Santa Claus and in another he played the young Darrin Stevens. On of the silliest episodes for the great Agnes Morehead was "Once in a Vial" where she drinks a love potion and then gets lovey-dovey. Elizabeth Montgomery is a delightful comedienne with great double takes, confusion and continual surprise. While Sony might have put a bit more information about the show in the packaging or on the extras, this is an excellent DVD set. Enjoy!
Bewitched-The Complete Fourth Season
I like Elizabeh Montgomery any thing she did. The show is very funny and and allot fun to watch. Both Darren's and the Endora made the show complete. I like the way they all fit in as show and as players. I like Bewitched best over both the Munster and The Addams Family of the same period.
Keeps Getting Better & Better, no problems with these discs!!
Well, here we are, another great season if Bewitched. This season is classic. From the lovable Uncle Aurther to Wonderful Aunt Clara, This season is really funny. This season has such great episodes as: The first Thanksgiving. Where Aunt Clara transports the Stevens clan & Gladys Kravitz back in time to the first Thanksgiving with the pilgrams. Another fine episode is Mc Tavish, Where Sam goes to England to get rid of a pesty ghost. One of my favorites is the flying saucer. Aunt Clara changes a little toy flying saucer into a real flying saucer with martians on board, that look like dogs. These are all clasic shows that can never be replaced, no matter how hard anyone tries. They will live in our hearts for a long time to come. Our Childrens Children will probably be watching these long after we are all gone. I haven't had any problems with my discs either. They all play great. The CC works good also.

One of the all-time great TV stars, Marlo Thomas--with her false eyelashes, fab flip, and an adorable raspy squeak when she got excited--achieved iconic status with That Girl, a top-rated and culture-busting show about the comic trials of an aspiring actress/model in 1960s New York City. Thomas (and her on-screen alter ego, Ann Marie) combined the poise and fashion sense of Audrey Hepburn, the bubbly good cheer of Annette Funicello, and the sly smarts of Claudette Colbert into one surprisingly hip small town girl in the big city. Though dozens of great guest-stars (from Bill Bixby to Ethel Merman) pass through the show and the supporting cast (including Bernie Kopell, The Love Boat, as a neighbor, and Lew Parker and Rosemary DeCamp as Ann's parents) is topnotch, That...
