I'd heard the guy who played Dr. Bombay was also gay.

Endora lives!
I have a neighbor that we call "Endora". Yikes! She has those same *evil* eyes! She's more like Mrs. Kravitz (nosey), but I swear she could put a hex on you! Hubby ran into her the other day and almost called her Endora! LOL
I believe everyone is correct about Dick York. He was straight, and died from some rare disease. Dick Sargent was gay. I saw a biography on the Bewitched series, which offered more details on the cast members.

Quote: Paul had many disasters in his own personal life and his death was attributed to a heart attack possibly caused by sniffing an inhalant to excite his sexual pleasures.His loss was greatly mourned.
Beware of video head cleaner!
Paul Lynde's character of Uncle Arthur almost makes Dr. Smith of "Lost in Space" look like a "manly-man!"
See link...
P.S doesn't the robot look like an uspide down washer from the belt up?

Surviving Cast Members
Only Alice Ghostly, and Bernard Fox, remain (besides the various children/infants who played Adam and Tabitha), of the original Bewitched cast members. Some extras as Richard Dryfeuss (gosh he was so young and goodlooking in the episode where he played a warlock so in love with Sam he turned himself into a dog to be around her. Finally Sam summons the warlock's mother to take her boy home). Have posted a link to a great Bewitched site that has a listing of surviving/deceased cast members. Anyone who loves Bewitched should take a tour of the site, it is great.
Dick York injured his back filming a movie and eventually battled an addiction to perscription pain killers. He missed so many episodes (there are several where Darrin does not appear at all), it was decided to replace Dick York with Dick Sargent. Ironically Dick Sargent was the first choice to play "Darrin".
Besides Agnes Moorehead and Paul Lynde, rumor has it that Sam's father "Maurice" (played by Maurice Evans) was also gay. It should be noted these are only "rumors" and to my knowledge no one has ever proved any of them true. Debbie Reynolds, a close friend of Angnes Moorehead stated publicly Miss. Moorehead was not gay and thought it was disgusting a certian person published such a fact after the woman was no longer around to defend herself.

well at least they found each-other and had a support group, because in those days it was still career and social-suicide.
the self-loathing is bad enough, but when society augments it ..not a good scene.
show your support. kiss a 'mo today!

If Dick York was the first Darrin, he is the spitting image of my father.
If I look like my father.. could I potentially "land" someone as gorgeous as Elizabeth Montgomery?
Ladies who will be attending the convention (of the XX variety! ....LOL, well OK... either type) Feel free to swoon. Inflate my ego some more!!!

which witch pitch is which?
Howdy all.Here's a strange question.When I was a youngster watching this show,I noticed that the B&W episodes which had copywright 1964 @the bottom of the opening credits,had a very milky skyway of stars in the backround as the animated Samantha whisked thru the sky on her broom.Then,as we know, in the fall of 1966,the show went color, had the 1966 copywright @ the bottom, and much less backround stars.I've noticed in recent years that the B@W episodes ALL use the 1966 theme that has less stars,and the 1966 copywright as the theme, minus the color, of course.Why,and who else has noticed this?

Keeping This On Topic
Noticed during the marathon in the final series years, Sam's washer and dryer changed, but could't make out what they were? Any guesses?
Also wonder why if Sam's house had a ultility closet, why her washer and dryer were out in the open near the kitchen door (raised up a bit).
Just as an aside, it is so funny to see the various incarnations Sam's house took on the inside, since many are impossible given the how the house looks from the outside. For instance there are at least three bedrooms upstairs (master suite (including walk in closets and bathroom),a guest bedroom, and the nursery/Tabitha's room. The living room has a super high ceiling and from the outside it seems there is nothing "upstairs" over it, so where are all those bedrooms?
There is a builder who will actually build you any famous TV house you wish, ranging from the Brady Bunch's, Bewitched, The Partridge Family, and even Happy Days (my favourite house next to Sam's).

The sponsor who supplied them probably wanted, reasonalby, air-time and visibliy. The serices theoretically takes place in CT, probably in the southwest portion of hthe state commutable to NYC, if so the W&D would most-likely have been in the basement in their era, IMHO
I agree, the upstairs of that house (outside photo) is unrealistic. Case in point the "dog-houses" in the roof over the "L" portion of the house that juts forward (over the den/office) are ridiculous. IMHO these would never be there in reality.
Back to appliances- IIRC there was a gas grill built in to the right of the flair range. Can anyone clue me in or am I delusional? What was the brand-name on those, (total eclipse of the brain) LOL

Doghouses? Dormers <whack>
Sorry, thought dog-houses were a small part of a dormer. What do I know, I'm a real-eatate appraiser! LOL LOL LOL

In reality, this prop was copied from a home that looks almost identical to 1164, "dog-house" windows included. The original house has one window in the Living Room, whereas the fascade has two windows in the LR.

I stand humbly corrected. Appears I need to be disciplined...

which witch's washer was which?
I'd guess those last years,starting in Sept.1969,which was the opening of season 6,and the show ran 'til 1972,had a Maytag washer-dryer in the now remodeled kitchen that had a Maytag dishwasher for sure in it.By the way, who can answer my odd question several posts up?Thanks
