Now that's another series I have to do a "dead or alive" survey on.
Maybe in another 10 years.

Aunt Clara had a good run though. She was BORN in 1883! That was when Chester Arthur was our president and nobody had electricity in their homes yet. In 1883, no homes yet had telephones, radios or even flush toilets.
Yet Marion McDougall was born that year and would go on to co-star in an iconic "modern" television series as Aunt Clara.
Now that's just mind-blowing.
It's a shame about Elizabeth Montgomery however. Growing up as a boy, I fantasized about having somebody like her as a wife (without the evil mother-in-law) but she died so young.
Both Darrin's are dead (both of them Dicks)
Pretty much everybody on that cast is dead. Except for Tabitha. Who I didn't remember all that much.
“BJ” Clinton and gay “marriage” absolutely sped the rate of decline up.
Like I’ve written before, the left takes a long term, methodical approach to achieving their goals.
Whereas many on “our” side can’t think beyond “What tine does Old Country Buffet open?”.
I watched Bew. on Nick at Nite as a kid, I had no idea Sargent was a fagolo, I’m not sure if I new what a fagolo was yet. But I could tell he had NO chemistry with Samantha, it was night and day compared to York.
It’s baffling they wanted Sargent initially to play Darrin. If he had, I think the series would’ve only lasted a year. It’s not that Sargent was a bad actor, merely miscast here. He was actually fine if he played a single man or even a widower.
Bernie Kopell (9 episodes) still hanging on.

I read that by the time Sargent was brought on board, the show was actually so out of ideas that it was remaking old episodes with Sargent instead of York, so it sounded like the show in general was out of gas by that point anyway.
They did, and if I’m not mistaken they actually remade a few episodes TWICE! That’s nuts.
In the 7th season (1970-71), one episode was “written” by two dozen Black students at a local L.A. high school English class. It netted a special Emmy Award.

It did have shades of the Francis Ford Coppola film from two years prior, “Finian’s Rainbow”, with the racist antagonist. Elizabeth Montgomery cited it as her favorite episode.
