Everyone pull out your season 3 DVD and look at the episode Dangerous Diaper Dan. Pay close attention around the 4 minute mark when Samantha is on the phone. Look at the upper right corner of the screen beside Endora's head and you'll see what look like a few strings hanging in the air. One string looks like it's attached to Samantha where she holds on to the phone. What was that all about? Watching this scene, the strings seem to serve no purpose but they sure are visible.

Yeah, I wondered about that myself.

Yeah, depending how the lights hit them, the wires/strings show up a lot. Check out the :47 mark when they show Sam in "Serena Stops the Show" and look at the oven on the left side. The wires are clearly visible. I assume they were used to move the spoon through the air just moments earlier.

Strings and wires were used as props when filming Bewitched. In that Diaper Dan scene, the wires seem to serve no purpose at all. Maybe when filming the scene, the cameraman and director forgot to make sure the wires were out of view.

One of the most obvious cases of visible wires is in the opening credits of The Flying Nun. Towards the end there, the wires attached to Sister Bertrille as she "flies" through the air are clearly visible.

In the episode "Dangerous Diaper Dan",a good one from season 3,TVLand cut a big part of the scene where Samantha and Endora work together to drive Diaper Dan crazy,and here is the part they cut out.After Endora makes the diapers fly out of the truck,Samantha says "May I?" Endora:"Be my guest".Samantha then says "Out of the mouths of babes",and casts a spell on the doll baby on the top of Diaper Dan's truck,so it talks,saying "Whacha doin,Dad?",drtiving Diaper Dan crazy.

I love how Sam and Endora teamed up to drive Dan insane. They did such a great job that Dan ended up having to go to a rest home!!!!
