I think I liked Elizabeth Montgomery because of her acting and her beauty on Bewithced, compared to Meredith Baxter Birney, but I thought she reminded me of an ideal wife on Family Ties.

Granted MBB was not as beautiful as EM but she was still very attractive!

In terms of acting ability I take Elizabeth Montgomery over Meredith Baxter Birney. MBB is a great actress but Elizabeth can do comedy and drama. Meredith downfall is that she is not a sitcom actress and Family Ties showed her inability to do comedy. She was outstanding on Family. Elizabeth did comedy effortlessly even though she started off as a dramatic actress. She is naturally funny without compromising herself.

In beauty Elizabeth grew prettier as the seasons of Bewitched went. In the final season she was stunning with the longer hair and the more modern fashions she displayed. Meredith was stunning on Family and the first season of Family Ties when her hair was long. I did not like the haircuts she displayed on FT. When she grew her hair back in the fourth season she was stunning. The haircut in the last season was bad. Elizabeth aged more gracefully whereas Meredith is showing her age. Both actresses are quite talented in their own way and natually acttractive. Both actresses had their pregnancies written into their respective shows. They did not lose their beauty during that time and quickly got their figure back.

Elizabeth is a far better singer than Meredith. If you heard Elizabeth sing the song on Bewitched on episode 227. How Not to Lose Your Head to King Henry VIII, "How Could You Use A Poor Maiden So?" She sung that beautifully. Meredith was not a good singer. On a couple of episodes on FT there were some shows where Elyse Keaton did her folk singing and her singing was not impressive compared to Samantha's.

Meredith Baxter Birney or Meredith McCrae have Elizabeth Montgomery beat in my book.

I like both, but out of the two I'd say I prefer Elizabeth Montgomery.
