One or two magical acts drove the plot, but Samantha often solved problems without magic. Many of the first season's episodes were allegorical , using supernatural situations as metaphors for the problems any young couple would face. Arnold stated that the two main themes of the series were the conflict between a powerful woman and a husband who cannot deal with that power, and the anger of a bride's mother at seeing her daughter marry beneath her. Though the show was a hit right from the beginning, finishing its first year as the number 2 show in the United States, ABC wanted more magic and more farcical plots, causing battles between Arnold and the network.
Its first season, Bewitched was the number one show of the American Broadcasting Company and the best rated sitcom among all three networks. It was second in ratings only to Bonanza. It was preceded on the air by another sitcom, My Three Sons , and followed by the soap opera Peyton Place. My Three Sons finished 13th in the ratings and Peyton Place ninth. The block formed by the three shows was the strongest ratings grabber in ABC's schedule. The second season was produced by Davis and with Bernard Slade as head writer, with misunderstandings and farce becoming a more prevalent element but still included a number of more low-key episodes in which the magic element was not front and center.
With the third season and the switch to color, Davis left the show, and was replaced as producer by William Froug. Slade also left after the second season. According to William Froug's autobiography, William Asher who had directed many episodes wanted to take over as producer when Jerry Davis left, but the production company was not yet ready to approve the idea. Froug, a former producer of Gilligan's Island and the last season of The Twilight Zone , was brought in as a compromise.
By his own admission, Froug was not very familiar with Bewitched and found himself in the uncomfortable position of being the official producer even though Asher was making most of the creative decisions. After a year, Froug left the show, and Asher took over as full-time producer of the series for the rest of its run.
The first two seasons had aired Thursdays at 9: Nevertheless, the ratings for Bewitched remained high and it placed among the top fifteen shows through the —69 season. It was the seventh highest-rated show in both the U.

Similarly, it was number 11 the following two years. At the time, the show had won three Emmy Awards. Producers were faced with how to deal with the deaths of both these actresses. When Pearce died in the spring of , only a few episodes of season two remained to be filmed.
Comedienne Alice Ghostley was approached to take over the role of Gladys the next season, but turned it down. Instead, Sandra Gould was hired. Marion Lorne was not replaced, and the character of Aunt Clara was not seen after the fourth season although she was referred to a in a few episodes at the beginning of the fifth season. Rather, beginning in the show's sixth year, Ghostley was finally used to play the character of Esmeralda, a kind but shy and inept witch. In another notable casting change, Louise Tate, played by Irene Vernon during the first two seasons, was played by Kasey Rogers thereafter.
The fifth season of Bewitched proved to be a watershed for the series most notably with the death of Marion Lorne and the frequent absences of Dick York in many episodes. York was suffering from recurring back problems, the result of an accident during the filming of They Came To Cordura As a result, many episodes featured Samantha and Tabitha on their own with York's character of Darrin out of town on business.
It was during this time that Serena Samantha's identical cousin, also played by Montgomery was used more frequently. Towards the end of the season, York's increased disability which caused ongoing shooting delays and script rewrites resulted in his collapsing on the set in January while filming the episode "Daddy Does His Thing". He was inmmediately rushed to the hospital and after a long talk with producer-director William Asher, York decide to leave the series.
At about the same time, Montgomery and Asher announced that they were expecting another baby and it was decided that Samantha and Darrin would also have another child in the fall of that year.
On screen, Samantha tells Darrin over the phone the news of her second pregnancy. That same month, Dick Sargent was cast to play Darrin beginning in the sixth season. Beginning with the sixth season's — opening credits, in addition to York being replaced with Sargent, Elizabeth Montgomery was billed above the title, and David White now received billing as well, after Agnes Moorehead's. During this year, the show saw a significant decline in ratings, falling from eleventh to 24th place. In mid, the set of the Stephens' home was being rebuilt due to a fire. In June, the cast and crew traveled to Salem , Magnolia, and Gloucester, Massachusetts to film an eight-part story arc in which Samantha, Darrin, and Endora travel to Salem for the centennial Witches Convocation.
These location shoots marked the only times the show would film away from its Hollywood studio sets and backlot. Season seven premiered with eight so-called 'Salem Saga' episodes. These on-location episodes helped the show's sagging ratings, [11] but after the Salem episodes, viewership again dwindled.
Scripts from old episodes were recycled frequently. The year's ratings for Bewitched had fallen and the show did not even rank in the list of the top thirty programs. ABC moved Bewitched 's airtime from Thursdays at 8: Fewer recurring characters were used this season, with the Kravitzes, Darrin's parents, and Uncle Arthur not appearing at all.
Filming ended in December , and in January the show was finally moved to Saturday night at 8: Despite the low ratings, Bewitched still had a contract for two more seasons on ABC.
The network was willing to honor that contract by renewing the sitcom for a ninth season. However, by this time, Montgomery had grown tired of the series and wanted to move on to other roles. Also, she and her husband William Asher had separated and would divorce in The concept was based on the play Howie, about a lawyer, played by Lynde, whose daughter marries a slacker named Howard, or "Howie". The Lynde character despises him as he is not interested in earning money or traditional pursuits. This was despite Lynde's rewrite of the show's dialog in an effort to make the series more lively and comedic.
As a result, the series garnered low ratings and was canceled after one season 26 episodes. Despite its challenges, the series ended its first year with a respectable 29 share and was renewed for the season. However, to improve ratings, ABC wanted to make some changes. As a result, the ratings for the series fell well below the levels of the previous season.
Despite the changes in cast and format, the attempt to resuscitate the series was unsuccessful, and ABC finally cancelled it permanently. The blueprint design of this house was later reversed and replicated as a house facade attached to an existing garage on the backlot of Columbia's Ranch. This was the house seen on Bewitched. The patio and living room sets seen in Columbia's Gidget Goes to Rome were soon adapted for the permanent Bewitched set for The set was also used several times in the television series Gidget and I Dream of Jeannie , as well as the made-for-television movie Brian's Song It was also used, as a setting for an opening tag sequence, for the final episode of the first season of another Screen Gems property, The Monkees and in an episode of The Fantastic Journey.
The house served as Doctor Bellows' house on I Dream of Jeannie , and was seen in an episode of Home Improvement when Tim Taylor took Tool Time on location to the house of Vinnie's mother to repair a gas leak in the basement furnace with a second gas leak at the kitchen stove, unbeknownst to Tim. The Stephens house was also featured in a Fruit of the Loom Christmas commercial and it was used as Clark Griswold's boyhood home in his old home movies in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation [12].
