I look forward to adding the additional seasons sets 6, 7, and 8 to my TV-DVD collection of "Bewitched," for no matter how many times I watch any of the 8 season episodes, it always surprises me how much I enjoy this show and it's stars, for they've become like family over the years and they will always be "immortal."

I LOVED this season of Bewitched especially the Tabitha episodes like "I Dont Want To Be A Toad", "Tabitha's Weekend" & I loved the Serena episode of "Mrs Stephens Where Are You". Also LOVED "Weep No More My Willow" about Sam's willow tree! And Samantha's Shopping Spree is a funny one too with no Derwood included. This season was especially fun because there are a lot of NON Darrin episodes near the end of the season and they are more magical and no party poopers to mess up the fun like Derwood always did. I liked this season and season 4 the best....because they had some of the most fun and most magical episodes. While a lot of the reviewers are sad that this was York's last season. I thought there were some good Sargent episodes too like their Salem episodes in season 7. Not to mention the famous Jack & The Beanstalk episode in season 6. Sargent was a good Darrin though I do agree York was my favorite but really Derwood was not my favorite character any of the time. The only down side I can think of which is only a minor downer is this season does not feature any Aunt Clara episodes because the actress who portrayed her had passed away.But there are MORE Serena & Uncle Arthur fun this season which is good. I cant wait to have this season 5....its a good one....!!!

Let's hope they give us some extras on this one; haven't seen too much of that since the release of the first season and there are some terrific documentaries on the cast and the show itself that could and should be issued at some stage. Enjoy!

The colour and richness of the video made the show look like it was just produced. I'm so happy that these videos were restored to vibrant picture and audio. These shows are timeless as they are still enjoyable to watch today. The cast of Bewitched were awesome. Especially Elizabeth Montgomery. What a sweetie she was. Fun for the entire family!

I am very pleased with the service I have received from Amazon. I have ordered all the Bewitched series and everyone of them has been excellent. I have never had poor service and anything I had to return. Again, thank you Amazon, for your excellence in service. I am very pleased with the DVDs I ordered as well as the books. Everything was in great condition and I never had a bit of trouble with anything. Never had to return anything, except once when I double ordered. Amazon let me know they had credited my credit card for that purchase.

excellent product it rememberred a lot of good souvenirs and I recommand it to all my friends old or young

I enjoy this season and treasure it as it is the last season featuring Dick York, unarguably the better of the 2 Darrins. He is as comical as ever but sadly he looks drawn and he's not in a good handful of episodes. I wish the Endora character could have been in more episodes than she is but I love the ones she is in especially when she faces off with Darrin.
