POLL: Which Darrin do you prefer? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Darrin 1 or Darrin 2

Personally, I prefer Darrin #2 (Dick Sargeant). #1 was always too nervous (but who wouldn't be, in his situation?!) Isn't it weird that both actors shared the same first name in real life?! A friend of mine & I thought that the change in actors should've been worked into the show. For example, a spell could've been cast on Darrin, making him look and sound different. Samantha, then, would cast a spell so that all mortals who already knew Darrin would be unaware of the change. Naturally, the mystic people in Sam's circles would be aware of the difference.

I vote for Darrin #1 (Dick York), for sure. Played the part much more believable... for instance, he seemed to be more scared of witchcraft. His way of yelling out "Sam!" was better. Even his voice was better! Remember, too, he had an advantage of being Samantha's "first" husband, and the show just did not look right after he left. In fact, if York was able to stay on the show for the full eight seasons, "Bewitched" would probably move up on my list of favorite T.V. shows (it's around #4 or #5 on my list currently). Anyway, I think Dick York was perfect choice for the part of Darrin.

Darrin #1 for sure. It was a terrible idea to even keep the show going when Dick Work left.

I perfer the first Darrin.

It's funny. When I was younger, I preferred Dick Sargent (Darrin #2), and was always disappointed when the rerun cycle started over, and Dick York came back on. Sargent seemed like the kinder, gentler Darrin.

But viewing the episodes as an adult, I greatly prefer Dick York. Sure, he's a little more uptight, but he has that great rubber face with all different kinds of expressions. His reactions to Sam's and Endora's spells are priceless. He also has much more chemistry with Elizabeth Montgomery than Dick Sargent does.

My Dad and I have talked about this for years, and we always came to the same conclusion. Only Dick York (yes that's right, Darrin #1) could sing "Ya Ga Zoo Zee, Ya Ga Zoo Zee, Ya Ga Zoo Zee, Zim!"

Deffinitely Darrin #1, Dick York.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. And by the way...this is our own original idea and we do not appreciate people copying us. So don't.

Jinny: Oh, come on, folks, please, don't be shy. Apparently anyone is welcome to crap all over me tonight, so please, step right on up!

Freddy: Now your gonna need a nut doctor!

Darrell: Listen, I don't know what kind of greasy, rubber ***** your sleepin' with...

Definitely Dick York.

Definately, Dick York. He was the original, and in my opinion, irreplaceable.
