Bewitched: Episode List (Seasons 1 and 2)

1- "I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha"
Airdate: September 17, 1964

In the episode that started it all, we are introduced to Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) and Darrin (Dick York) who meet and marry. On their wedding night Samantha reveals to Darrin that she is a witch. Darrin accepts Samantha regardless, and she promises "love, honor and no witchcraft", but Endora (Agnes Moorehead), her evil witch mother, does not approve of the marriage. Later at a dinner party, Samantha uses her powers to get back at Darrin's condescending ex-girlfriend Sheila (Nancy Kovack).

Note: Rehearsal for the pilot was to begin November 22, 1963, but was postponed due to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Filming was completed December 6 of that year.
