Interesting Trivia
The show had an unusual amount of roles played by more than one person: two Darrins, two Gladys Kravitzes, two Louise Tates, two of Darrin's father. Dick York left the show in 1969 due to health problems; his role of Darrin was taken over by Dick Sargent. When Alice Pearce died, her role of Mrs. Kravitz was taken over by Sandra Gould.

Elizabeth Montgomery played the roles of Samantha Stephens and her more free-spirited cousin Serena. However in the cast listing, the role of Serena was listed as being played by Pandora Spocks

During the first six years, practically every car in sight is a Chevrolet, because the car company was one of the show's original sponsors.

Montgomery did not actually twitch her nose to cause Samantha's magic to occur; she twitched her upper lip, causing her nose to follow.

Almost all of the female witches' character names end with the letter "a," including Samantha, Endora, Esmerelda, and Tabitha.

Bewitched Movie

Here's the plot for the 2005 Bewitched movie.
A producer remaking the classic sitcom "Bewitched" unknowingly casts an actual witch for the lead role.

This movie stars Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell.

Jim Carrey was approached to play Jack Wyatt/Darrin Stephens, but had to decline because of other commitments. This is very unfortunate, because he would have been perfect for the role.
