Also, in DY's time of need when he was hurting financially and deathly ill, she did not reach out to him (as I understand it anyway) and I find that very sad and unfortunate. I still really appreciate and admire Liz but certain things did disappoint me-I won't deny that.

I completely agree, Lisa -- from everything I've read, everyone ELSE on the set: Agnes Moorehead, David White, Kasey Rogers, Sandra Gould, Erin Murphy, Paul Lynde, and even EM's then-husband, Bill Asher, had nothing but praise and admiration for DY. Even DS said (in Herbie J. Pilato's book Bewitched Forever): "He was excellent as Darrin." DY himself always spoke glowingly about EM, so I don't know why he seemed to irritate her so much. All her life, she was never in want and was very well-off financially. She could have (and SHOULD HAVE, in my opinion) helped him out in his time of need. What a shame.

Has anyone read his memoir? He discussed the valleys in his life but never complained. It's a fascinating read and has wonderful pictures. Here's more info: http://www.newpathpress.com/index.html

That bugged me too, seems like she would have reached out to him. Unless it was too hard for her to deal with or something.
