too bad the coverart isn't the same as the UK version! but otherwise, I can't wait. Hope this sells good enough to convince Sony to release season 7 (with the Salem episodes) this year too!

This is great, it's going to be released a few days before my birthday.

For those of you who don't want to bother looking at the link, here's the cover art:



NOTE: The release date is now May 6th, instead of May 20!

New Cover Art, MUCH better and it includes "Elizabeth Montgomery in" like the R2 version.

I actually liked the previous color better, they already did red with season three. Just like seasons one and five are basically the same color, seasons three and six will basically be the same color.

I have seasons 1 thru 4 on DVD, I'll probably just stick with those because the series wasn't as good anymore from season five onward. Dick Sargent was an OK replacement for Dick York, the problem was the show started losing steam in season five, and just went further downhill during the last three seasons. If you notice beginning with the fifth season, they started using "Samantha" a lot in the episode titles. This was not a good sign, and many of these later episodes were rehashes of previous ones. Original episodes from the later seasons often went too far over the top.

Yup, those are my exact thoughts, if Dick York stayed thoughout the whole series, I would buy all of them

Same here. I think we're the only ones who liked the Dick Sargent era, I loved the whole pregnancy storyline.

I've always liked Dr. Bombay. He wasn't seen often (17 episodes total, 11 of those coming in the Dick Sargent seasons.) If Dr. Bombay had been more of a regular character, I might be more inclined to buy the later seasons on DVD. Any episode with Dr. Bombay is always funny.

[Bachu]

I'll be getting the Sargent ones. I think there was still much to like about the show. In Super Arthur in season 6? One of my favs.

It seems this set will get no extras and still no news on a complete set which some extras were filmed for. I can't believe the UK sets are over taking the US ones. Makes no sense...

[Movie12]

It's about time Sony releases Bewitched - Season 6. It was long over due.

[Carrie]

I'm sure I'll probably buy season 6, even though I prefer the Dick York seasons more. I haven't seen a lot of the episodes, so it will be fun to watch them.

Well, I enjoyed the show no matter what era. I admit I prefer Dick York as Darrin, but that isn't going to stop me from buying every season.

Elizabeth Montgomery and Agnes Moorehead
Are Back for Pure Comedic Magic, with
Dick Sargent’s Debut as Darrin

BEWITCHED:

THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON
All 30 Episodes Arrive on DVD May 6 in a 4-disc Boxed Set


Culver City, Calif. (March 3, 2008) – Dick Sargent takes over the role of Darrin Stephens, joining Emmy®-nominated Elizabeth Montgomery and Agnes Moorehead for Bewitched: The Complete Sixth Season which debuts on DVD May 6 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The DVD includes all 30 episodes from the Emmy®-nominated sixth season in a 4-disc boxed set. The DVD will be available for $39.95 SRP.

Bewitched chronicles the nose-twitching marriage of Samantha and Darrin Stephens. They seem like an ordinary suburban family – she’s a charming housewife, he’s a Madison Avenue advertising exec – but there’s one slight difference: Samantha’s a witch. Samantha promises not to use her witchcraft, yet despite her best intentions, magic permeates the Stephenses’ household.

The sixth season’s classic episodes include: Tabitha (Erin Murphy) running away to be in “Jack and the Beanstalk” because she is jealous of her baby brother; Darrin (Sargent) being frozen into a mirror when Maurice finds out the baby isn’t named after him; Endora (Moorehead), upset at Samantha (Montgomery) for celebrating Halloween, turning Darrin into a warlock; Uncle Arthur (Paul Lynde) botching his magic hat trick at Tabitha’s (Erin Murphy) birthday party and pulling a Playboy bunny out of his hat instead; Serena, Samantha’s wacky cousin, returning to complicate things; and Samantha trying to find a way to get rid of Santa when he overstays his welcome. Guest stars include Emmy® nominee Jack Cassidy (TV’s “Columbo: Murder by the Book”), Johnny Whitaker (TV’s “General Hospital”), Danny Bonaduce (TV’s “The Partridge Family”), and Lloyd Bochner (TV’s “Dynasty”).

Bewitched originally aired on ABC September 17, 1964, and the series became an instant hit with critics and audiences, ultimately airing 256 episodes over eight seasons. Produced and directed by William Asher (TV’s “I Love Lucy,” “Gidget”), Bewitched was nominated for 22 Emmy Awards® over the course of its run, winning three.
