What is Bewitched?
Bewitched was a 1960s-70s show that was about a witch who marries an ordinary mortal man and vows to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife.
The beautiful witch Samantha – portrayed by Elizabeth Montgomery – meets and marries mortal Darrin Stephens – played by Dick York and later Dick Sargent.
While Samantha complies with Darrin’s wishes to become a normal suburban housewife, her magical family disapproves of the mixed marriage and frequently interferes in the couple’s lives.
Episodes often begin with Darrin becoming the victim of a spell, the effects of which wreak havoc with mortals such as his boss, clients, parents and neighbors.
To keep their society secret, witches avoid showing their powers in front of mortals other than Darrin.
