5.0 out of 5 stars A bewitching book about a bewitching show!, July 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bewitched Forever: The Immortal Companion to Television's Most Magical Supernatural Situation Comedy (Hardcover)

If you are a fan of one of the BEST tv shows ever created this book is for you. There are great interviews with Elizabeth Montgomery, the two Darrins, and others from the show, plus great pictures from the show. And as an added bonus Mr. Pilato treats us to a little about the Bewitched spinoff Tabatha. No Bewitched collection is complete without this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical, May 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bewitched Forever: The Immortal Companion To Television's Most Magical Supernatural Situation Comedy (Paperback)

"Bewitched Forever" is the ultimate tribute to one of the most popular programs in television history.
This book is obviously a labor of love. The respect Herbie J Pilato has for this show is evident on every page, yet NEVER does the the book read like a gushy fan letter.
It features interviews with the cast and crew, photographs, and a breif synopsis of each episode. The book gives the reader insight to the shows long lasting appeal.
"Bewitched Forever" is an enjoyable retrospective, that will enchant you from cover to cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blissfully Bewitched, December 27, 2001

Samantha Stevens (Retroville) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bewitched Forever: The Immortal Companion To Television's Most Magical Supernatural Situation Comedy (Paperback)

I am a huge Bewitched fan. When I heard this book was back in print I was thrilled! I ordered it right here on Amazon.com
I enjoyed the book, and of course, the pictures. The cover alone is worth buying it for! I read it from cover to cover. (Well okay..I didn't read about every single episode ever made..they were all in there, but I got a little bored after reading quite a few of them so I stopped!)
The reason I gave it 4 stars, and not 5, is because I wish there was more of a biography about Liz. Sure, he tells a bit about her life..but I know if I would have been writing a book about her, and was granted an interview.. I would have tried to pry a few personal stories from her! From what I read she was a pretty private person, so maybe she wouldn't have revealed many..or maybe the author of this book was too shy to ask..but I was very disappointed that it didn't reveal more.
Yet and still, I do highly recommend this book if you are a Bewitched fan, or if you are buying a gift for one! It is a must!
