Bewitched is about a witch named Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) married to a mortal, Darrin (Dick York - later played by Dick Sargent) living in suburbia. Other characters are Samantha's mom, Endora (Agnes Moorehead), her dad, Maurice (who, coincidentally enough, was named Maurice for real. His last name was Evans), her aunt Clara (Marion Lorne), uncle Arthur (Paul Lynde), and Darrin's boss, Larry (David White). It's a cute series, but that's all it is - cute. I've watched it many times, but I've never actually laughed. If anything I chuckled, but that was all. I think I find it boring because the humor is tongue in cheek. Samantha's magic always gets everyone around her in goofy and compromising situations, even though that's not her intention. The episodes where she goes back in time are super dumb. On the other hand, I Dream of Jeannie is hilarious. A young, single man who works for NASA has his life turned upside down after he finds a bottle on the beach in the South Pacific during a mission that contains an attractive genie inside, versus a housewife who has magical powers and her husband is always trying to impress his boss. Which show would you rather watch? Anyone who belly laughs at Bewitched is just easily amused. If you're someone in your 20s or early 30s, I would recommend I Dream of Jeannie, as the characters portray less of a traditional lifestyle, so young people of today's generation will probably find it more entertaining. I'm sure most people who grew up with Bewitched and loved it will disagree with my review, but watching it from a 21st century perspective, it's dull to me.
