This announcement advertises the episodes as 'original broadcast versions.' Do you think that means sponsor openings and "stay tuned" bumpers?

Someone asked them on Facebook if it would mean the original sponsor openings, etc. and the reply was NO.

Thanks for the information. I was afraid it was too good to be true.

Looks like they possibly mean uncut, but not including original broadcast ads.

I wonder if "original broadcast versions" of Bewitched's episodes mean that the original Screen Gems production logos are retained on the DVD release, and not plastered by later distributors' logos (like Columbia Tristar TV or Sony Pictures TV). They can't be original broadcast versions of the episodes if there is logo plastering. The episodes do not have to contain the original broadcast's ads or sponsor openings, though.

i wonder if there will be any special features.

I'd like to see them eventually re-release the series with the special features - original openings, cast commercials, etc. It's disappointing that so many other shows have gotten this treatment, but "Bewitched" hasn't.

Maybe one day...

Probably the original black and white release.
