3.0 out of 5 stars
Not QUITE what I thought, September 12, 2007
I just received this boxed set. I was utterly crushed to realize that I had received the COLORIZED versions of seasons 1 and 2 (note that seasons 3 on were filmed in color... but seasons 1 and 2 were filmed in black and white). I realize they don't say either way in the text above, but somehow, I had assumed they would provide the good version (by which I mean the original black and white). I can only assume that this was a sneaky way of forcing the colorized version down our throats.
Now, if you actually wanted the colorized version for some reason, this is the set for you. But if you want the good version, note that seasons 3, 4, and 5, at today's amazon.com prices, will cost you $[...] - much less than this set.
In fact, for those of you who are math-challenged or too lazy to look for yourselves, today's price to get all five seasons listed here (including the COLORIZED versions, which are cheaper than the black and white versions) is $[...] - which is less than today's price for this set. I only paid $[...] on special, so you should wait for that price to come back around before you buy this set. If you can't wait, buy them individually. There do not appear to be any special extras that don't come with the individual seasons, so you miss nothing.

Watch These Over and Over Again, August 26, 2009
These are the very best seasons of BEWITCHED and all with Dick York as Darren. One would think I would have outgrown this show. I watched it as a kid and here I am watching it at age 61! I think the universal aspect this series captured was the ultimate nightmare of life with the in laws and life with the nosy neighbors and interfering boss. If all the rest of us endured the day to day irks of in-law life, at least none of ours could turn us into a frog, or worse. If our boss was an idiot, at least he wasn't on the verge of discovering we lived with a coven. And if the neighbors gossiped about us, then at least their gossip didn't lead to constant calls to the police that they come out and inspect us because we were witches or aliens. And those are the good days for Darren! Just as often, he may be reduced to a bug on the floor scuttling around there for days. And the witch characters are great too. Uncle Arthur and Endora (the mother) and Aunt Clara were the best.
By a quirk of fate, I also ended up owning the black and white version of season one in addition to this colorized version. I like both versions. I'm an artist and I can't even tell that the one is colorized as opposed to real color.
Watching these shows really relaxes me and let's me drift into a very pleasant place for awhile.

True humor, September 13, 2009
Truly creative, with fantastic acting, writing and great cast. Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York have great rapport, Agnes Moorehead is great, as Endora. Later seasons, with Dick Sargent, were not as good, but were alright. One fun aspect of this show is that you never know what will happen next.
