I fill the one thing above all else that really made the classic series “Bewitched”, so special was the reach perfect chemistry between actress Elizabeth Montgomery and actor Dick York as the graceful housewife witch Samantha and her often harried but always loving husband Darrin. This well opinion out teaming of two performers who were so compatible together and who actually seemed to be like a actual husband and wife on camouflage certainly helped to carry “Bewitched”, to the amazing success it enjoyed suitable from Episode One. By the beginning of Season Five, which is now happily being released onto DVD, the classic comedy series had really hit its fat tear. With its ratings quiet high and with the present peaceful collecting an annual batch of Emmy nominations the future for “Bewitched”, looked very shimmering indeed. Season Five despite being very moving, as every lawful fan will know unfortunately has a dusky side to it in that Dick York’s ongoing serve problems meant that he began to miss episodes as the display progressed through its fourth year and on into the fifth. About half draw through Season Five with Dick York’s health problems growing worse with him often unable to execute, the character of Darrin was repeatedly written out of many of the stories thus loosing that distinguished “Sam and Darrin”, basis to the whole yarn. His characters absense was usually explained away by having Darrin “away on business”, during the episode. Unfortunately York’s health crisis didn’t improve and he was forced to leave the series all together before the raze of the season. It wasn’t definite whether he would return for Season Six at that time which explains why an earlier filmed episode “Samantha and Darrin in Mexico City”, was held relieve and shown as the last episode of Season Five.

Despite the tragedies going on leisurely the scenes during this season on “Bewitched”, for the most section it’s a terrific season with some amazing episodes, a few of which even tackle some quite serious social issues that are timely even today. Ironically enough in the light of Dick York’s declining health some of the earlier episodes in Season Five such as “Samantha’s Wedding Prove”, and especially the classic “Mirror Mirror on the Wall” in my idea hold some of his greatest and very funniest work and give no indication of the unpleasant agony he was usually in with his wait on at this tedious stage of his involvement with “Bewitched”.
Season Five of “Bewitched”, holds some valid favourites for me and a few of what I feel are the standout episodes are listed below.

“Samantha’s Wedding Explain”, which introduces a more tanned and blonde Elizabeth Montgomery in a myth borrowing heavily from the Sci Fi classic “The Wonderful Terrorized Man”, wherby Endora shrinks Darrin down to itsy-bitsy size which causes him some harrowing experiences when he encounters the Kravitz’s over sized novel dog and is captured by an Irish drunk who thinks Darrin is a Leprechaun who he’ll only release when he grants him three wishes.
“Mirror, Mirror on the Wall”, a broad favourite of mine with an absolutely hilarious performance by Dick York when Endora zaps a vanity spell on him making him the most egocentric and vain person imaginable. The observe of Dick York swishing around and camping it up in a Gold Lame Suit, hippy beads and Elvis-like sideburns will have you laughing out loud.
“Samantha’s Well-organized Maid”, a expansive performance by Mabel Albertson as the interfering Mrs Stephens Snr. who forces Samantha to hire a original maid mighty to her and Darrin’s opposition considering the witchcraft happening in the house all the time. Endora and Samantha join forces to undo Mrs Stephen’s plans to “give Samantha more time away from home duties to socialise with the people who can relieve boost Darrin up the ladder of success”.
“Going Ape”, An episode Dick York missed but a very comic chronicle of Tabitha changing an ape into a man who Larry feels has huge potential for McMann and Tate’s latest ad campaign. Desite his initial reluctance to allow Tabitha to change him benefit the Man/Ape gets bored with all the attention and with Samantha’s assist literally “goes ape”, in the television studio causing complete mayhem and forcing Larry to fire him.
“Tabitha’s Weekend”, Another episode without Dick York but a tremendous family domestic memoir when Phyllis attempts to have Tabitha cease for the weekend considerable to Samantha’s opposition. Phyllis’ plans however go astray when Endora and Samantha both also turn up causing all sorts of domestic tensions especially between long time rivals Endora and Phyllis. The resulting mayhem causes Phyllis to obtain one of her eminent “sick headaches”.
“The Battle of Burning Oak”, a astounding account and another stout favourite of mine where Endora turns Darrin into a unpleasant snob who aspires to join the unusual Burning Oak Country Club. However when Samantha learns of the type of discrimination and “screening” ancient to win membership, at the club she sets out to direct the snobs a very humbling lesson in tolerance and acceptance of others regardless of creed, colour, or station, with hilarious results. Samantha’s catty lunch with the snobby “ladies”, at the club is a amusing highlight.
“Daddy Does His Thing”, not really a large episode but notable to all “Bewitched”, buffs in that this was the final episode Dick York actually filmed before collapsing with a massive seizure. Quite heart breaking to gaze as you can clearly notice for the first time how terribly ill Dick York was during its filming.
“Samantha and Darrin in Mexico City”, an earlier episode held abet to effect the season off with a Dick York appearance. Complications arise for Darrin when Endora casts a spell that makes him depart everytime he attempts to notify Spanish to a potential client group while in Mexico City. Samantha saves the day with a few spells of her absorb that allows Darrin to reveal a long dinner speech in both English and Spanish.
