The Scene That Got Bewitched Cancelled

Bewitched became a household name after it was first released in 1964. Who couldn’t resist Samantha’s charm? Elizabeth Mongomery played the young witch and did a stellar performance.

It felt that the actors got lucky. Have such a fun time being part of the incredible series, but a lot of people don’t know about the drama behind the scenes.

Not All As It Seems

How could actors with what looked like so much chemistry possibly have drama? Unfortunately, this really was the reality behind the scenes.

Even when the show first started producers had to overcome a lot of challenges when the show was first shot.

Things wouldn’t change…

Actress Change

We’ve all come to love Elizabeth Montgomery, but did you know that someone else was originally going to play her role?

Tammy Grimes was originally going to play Montgomery’s role but ended up declining it because she didn’t like the character. Herbie J.

Pilato said, “She felt like if the character had all this power, why doesn’t she cure all the ills of the world?”

Hidden Pregnancy

Did you know that Elizabeth Montgomery was pregnant not one, but three times while she was in the show? But only two became a part of the series. Tabitha and Adam were put into the show.

She had to hide her first pregnancy in the show in season one. They didn’t want her character to have a child right after getting married.

Hesitation

Elizabeth Montgomery got the role after Tammy Grimes walked away from it. But Montgomery took on the role just as she thought about retiring from acting, good thing she didn’t!

They managed to get her on the show but no one knew why she actually wanted to retire in the first place.
