Bewitched – Seasons 5 & 6 (1968 – 1970) – Imprint Television #15

WITH THE TWITCH OF A NOSE, BEWITCHED POPS UP IN HIGH-DEFINITION!

United by love, Darrin and Samantha Stephens may look like a classic American couple, but they have a secret that distinguishes them from their suburban neighbours – ad executive Darrin is a mortal, but Samantha is a beautiful witch. While Samantha is mostly content with living life as a mortal, her mother, Endora, cannot imagine what she sees in Darrin. Although Samantha does her best to avoid using her magical powers, sometimes she just can’t resist.

Elizabeth Montgomery is joined by Dick York as Darrin in Season 5, replaced by Dick Sargent in Season 6. Agnes Moorehead, David White, and many more beloved actors round out the sensational ensemble for this much-loved 1960s classic fantasy sitcom – now coming to Blu-ray for the very first time.

I'll be curious to know how it looks. I love the series, but the source material was only in standard definition, wasn't it?

No. It was shot on Film and Transferred to HD umatic. These hold a 2K elements.

These are in no way like any of the DVD sets Or the Atrocious US release Of I dream Of Jeannie.

Though, if the show was shot on 35mm and finished on videotape, these tapes would only be standard definition. So, I guess I'm wondering if the tapes were used as the source for the blu, or if the episodes were rebuilt from original elements (as was done for Star Trek the Next Generation) and the discs are in true HD.

But I guess this is a conversation best suited for the dedicated Storyteller thread, just as soon as someone starts one! ----Edited to add, I just now started that thread----

[Schlagermeister]

Pre-ordered early this morning.������

[Craigy1976]

Im guessing we will get season 7&8 before Christmas. As The US Version comes out in July.

For us here in the USA, let’s go orbitdvd/atomic for the rest of the Bewitched series’ from ViaVision Australia 🇦🇺/Imprint PLEASE!

[dsfan1]

Waiting to pre-order from Atomic! Hopefully this weekend!

[Craigy1976]

Ordered. And It will All be out before the end of the year.

[TheZeppo]

Pre-ordered mine as well.

[Grant Wheelwright]

No doubt will feature the stock same titles again for Season 5 from Seasons 3 and 4 plus the incorrect Season 6 ones with the voiceover on the Elizabeth Montgomery stars in part instead of being silent...for the price of these the incorrect opening titles on 3 and 4 were a huge disappointment

I would imagine that's the case. Imprint hasn't released a trailer for this box set. I wonder if that's due to all the comments on the trailer for seasons 3 and 4, which asked about the music that was used in it (the generic season 1 theme).

There are other US stores selling this (Diabolikdvd, GrindhouseVideo, DeepDiscount, Walmart, etc.) Is there a reason why are you highlighting those two companies over others in the US? and this might be on sale at JB hi-fi in the future. Just curious.

Thanks, I pre-ordered Season 5&6 from DeepDiscount after just ordering my copies of Season 1&2 and 3&4 just yesterday. I'll more than likely pre-order 7&8 when that comes out as well.

I am curious to find out how well the Millcreek 60 anniversary Blu Ray set ends up being however.

[filmlover22]

I just found this https://episode.ninja/series/bewitched/best-seasons

Was floored at the ranking. S7 above S2? S6 above S3? S8 above S5?

I didn't think the Sargent years were rated that highly.
