I was sure when I was a kid I remember seeing Sam's round dial Frigidaire washer in their house at 1164 Morning Glory Circle, I finally saw it in a second season episode. Of course for at least four seasons we always saw her square dial Frigidaire. I thought maybe I was imagining seeing the round dial 1965 model, nope here it is...

Robert I seem to recall that the Stevens refrigerator in the b&w episodes is like yours. Also, didn't Samantha have one of the last spray tube dishwashers in those early years. The one I'm visualizing with the single dial and lovely full-width curved chrome pull handle? I know its hard to get a clear glimpse of her appliances in some episodes. However, they did seem to change them out routinely.
 
Robert - I just happened to be watching the first episode last nite, and noticed at the end of the show, Sam and Darren come home in through the kitchen, from the famous 'party'. In the back ground, I was expecting a Frigidaire set - nope, a TOL Maytag set - the likes of a DE702/A702 matched pair. They seemed to be quite dark in color - maybe coppertone or turquoise? There is also a great shot of a dishwasher I've never seem before - with a big window on the front, and what appears to be a roto basket!

Thanks for the link

Jeff, i think the pics of the kitchen in the link is from about 1966 or 67. The refrigerator profile view with the pushbutton door opener feature came about during that time. I think this is also the time when the series came out in "living" color.

Regardless, the its a fun site and very cool to reminisce!

Frigidare Makes Sense For Sam

Of course, Samantha felt like a queen with her Frigidare kitchen. But then, during the first five years of "Bewitched," Chevrolet was the show's co-sponsor--and it was a short jump from one General Motors division to another (witness the Chevys Sam and Darrin drove).
Wonder what Sam's kitchen would look like today?
 
I always liked the Stevens' house because....

She had a Sunbeam Mixmaster model 12 on the counter, and used a Hoover Dial-A-Matic model 1100.
 
Yes in the first two episodes when they lived in a NYC apartment they had a Kenmore D/M dishwasher with a see-thru window along with a Maytag W/D set. The DW was a 1963 model and was a store display that was probably purchased by Hollywood from Sears after they discontinued it for 1964.

You are correct Leslie, in the house they had the exact same 1964 Frigidaire Custom Deluxe Refrigerator that we have.

Here is the dishwasher...

And her MixMaster, she has all the fun toys a modern witch should have! You can also see the side of the Fridge in this shot...
