And there are a quite a few:1)Both were ABC shows. 2)Both were filmed at Columbia Pictures (Both were Screen Gems TV productions) 3)They also used the same sets sometimes:In the black and white "Bewitched"season 2 episode with Dick York as Darrin (which also,unfortunately was the last episode with the late Alice Pearce as Gladys Kravitz#1)"Prodigy",the Kravitz's house inside was the same as the interior of the Stones' house on "The Donna Reed Show",and 3)This is a little-known one-the "music squeal"(kind of a screech,and if you watch any of the latter Dick Sargent as Darrin episodes,you'll hear it,and know what I mean)they used a lot uring the Dick Sargent years as Darrin,was ALSO used a bit in the last season (1965-1966)episodes of "The Donna Reed Show".

Are you referring to that little music sting that was used when the scene flip-wiped from, say, Samantha fighting with Serena in the Stephens kitchen to a scene with Darrin and Larry Tate in Darrin's office?

Not unusual...Screen Gems shows often shared little quirks from one series to the next.
