oh sorry :(

It's sad that all the cast bar 2 have all died now.

Only the actress/s who played Tabitha are still alive.

But of the adult stars the only one alive today is Dr Bombay played by Bernard Fox.

I really hope you mean 'was'.

The 60s series was quite fun but lost a lot when the original Darrin left (probably for teaching Darwinism, or something).

Clever!

Or down your mine.

I prefer I Dream of Jeanie - a young Larry Hagman and a hot young women in a bellydancing outfit doing your bidding? You don't even need jokes for that to work.

Elizabeth Montgomery was hotter though.

No, I prefer Barbara Eden. I think Jeannie was a better sitcom too. I certainly remember having more fun watching it.

Why did Bewitched End ?

Elizabeth Montgomery wanted to pursue other roles and plus the ratings had slid down quite considerably from it's heyday.

The first two series were the best (which is usually the case). I loved Aunt Clara, she was hilarious, plus the first Gladys Kravitz was brilliant. Alice Pearce who played her sadly died half way through the second series in her late fourties. Sandra Gould took over, she was o.k. but not the same.

No the original Darrin played by the wonderful Dick York had to leave after season 5 due to a debilitating back and spine injury suffered years earlier when he was filming a film (name escapes me).

They Came To Cordura (1959)

In 1988, David White's only son - Jonathan - died in the Lockerbie air disaster.
David White (Larry Tate) died a couple of years later.

Very sad.

Ben Lane, the make-up supervisor for 140 episodes is dead as well.
