Classic TV Theme: Bewitched

Bewitched (1964) opened with animation by HannaBarbera and a catchy tune from Howard Greenfield and Jack Keller. With only minor changes these continued through the show s eightyear run. Inspired by films like Bell, Book, and Candle (where James Stewart is enamored of witch Kim Novak) the show catapulted Elizabeth Montgomery to tv stardom. Dick York was the longsuffering but loving husband, until health concerns caused him to be replaced by Dick Sargent (aka The New Darrin ). Viewers had trouble with the switch and after struggling for a few seasons the series wrapped. Enjoy three incarnations of the show s open and credits: the blackandwhite original, the switch to color, and The New Darrin.
