DVD Review
Samantha, a powerful member of the society of witches that has lived apart from (and disdained) humanity for many centuries, falls in love with a mortal, Darrin Stephens. Much to the disgust of most of her family, she vows to give up witchcraft and become an ordinary suburban housewife, raising a family (bearing Tabitha and Adam). Never able to give up her heritage completely, the friction between the matriarchal, moneyless society of her birth and the patriarchal, capitalist society of modern advertising drives the comedy over eight seasons and 256 episodes, from 1964 to 1971.

BEWITCHED SEASON 7 - Rating: 5/5
The seventh season of Bewitched brings us once again the new
DARRIN [...]. It's very enjoyable. Though SARGENT isn't as
emotional as YORK was,but still has the usual laugh out loud special
effects which make this series fun.
Sweet One - Rating: 4/5
"Bewitched" was my favorite show in its day. I've thoroughly enjoyed picking up all of the DVD releases through the seventh season. The eight-episode arc in old Salem was a creative way to thread episodes together. "Samantha's Hot Bed Warmer" is great classic comedy as the enchanted bed warmer keeps following Sam around. I thought "Samantha's Old Man" was quite touching, showing issues about aging and the joys of growing old together with one you love. "Sister of the Heart" tackled the issue of racism in a very sweet way, one to which children can relate. Imogene Coca was a favorite of mine, so it's a particular delight for me to see her as Mary the tooth fairy. "Samantha & the Troll" has just a little bawdy flavor, enough to raise a smile without offending. Alice Ghostly is back as Esmerelda and complicates things on "Samantha's Magic Mirror." "Samantha & the Magic Doll" had me laughing out loud as Darrin's mother is suddenly persuaded that she has magic powers. This seventh year of the series is another sweet one, well worth replaying from time to time. Enjoy!
Bewitched Season 7 - Rating: 5/5
This is another DVD set of the Bewitched series! I enjoyed all of these episodes!
"Not a Steller Year for "Bewitched"" - Rating: 5/5
"Bewitched" continued to air on ABC during the 1970-1971 TV season, but the magic that made this show so special started to disappear. The series fell out of the top 25 rated shows that year, and registered only a platry 15.4 Nielsen Rating, meaning the show was hanging on just because the producers wanted to make enough episodes to strip in syndication. The series' first 2 years were never shown in early syndication deals, so it was important the show made enough color episodes to run on local tv stations. It's obvious everyone associated with "Bewitched" this year was trying their best to make the show work, but the series was dying. Scripts were retreaded plots from previous years, ideas were no longer original, and the actors were bored. This was also the year "Bewitched" began its "Salem Saga", as many shows were filmed on location. This was due because a serious fire damaged the "Bewitched" set as well as many dressing rooms in Los Angeles. These Salem shows were never my favorite, and I was glad when they finally returned the action to Samantha's house.
There are a few high points this year, notably the "Sisters at Heart" episode, where Tabitha befriends a black girl. This eipisode won the Govenor General Award at The Emmy ceremony that year. Another good episode is "Samanth'a Old Man", where Endora turns Darren into an old man, and ultimately Samantha shows what she would look like, herself, when she would get old.
28 episodes are included in this boxset and are in pristine condition.
Bewitched 7th season - Rating: 5/5
In this season's magical mayhem we find Sam and Darrin headed for Salem Massachusetts. The continuing mishaps that befall them make for a fun trip. We find that Sam's family follow's them. So does Darrins boss Larry Tate. Samatha has to deal with Sarina and bed pans and even Paul Revere. When the family returns to Morning Glory Circle, we find more fun. A retelling of the warlock as a dog story. And Darrin as an old man who ends up the love match of Louise Tate's mom. Dick Sargent is in top form as Samantha's husband tis season. He and Elizabeth Montgomery are starting to click and flow as a team. It also helps with the directing of Willaim Asher. Also included is the best Christmas episode of the entire series. Tabatha and her best friend want to be sisters,and the wishing gets out of hand. The Tooth Fairy has an extended stay at the Stephens'. Great guest appearnces fill this season, with the likes of Imogene Coca, Bert Convy, Alic Ghostley,Ceasar Romero,and Tom Bosley.Paul Lynde also returns with silly one liners. His uncle Arthur brings a special nostalgic charm to this series. Bewitched brought new life to the old series in this season. They recaptured the old "magic" in season 7. It is a must have for any fan.
