Octolad pelts the discussion board with another pissant observation!
We speak of the "firsts" of Bewitched, like the fantasy element in a sitcom, the interracial allegory, the sleeping of spouses in the same bed, etc. I wonder if the show was also groundbreaking in that Samantha's hairstyle -- especially in the first two seasons -- often changed repeatedly in the same episode. Tonight I watched "There's No Witch Like an Old Witch" and it seemed that Samantha's hair changed from one great style to another with each new scene. Can anybody alive during that era cite a show before or after where that happened? I mean, you'd see June Cleaver or Lucy's hair in an episode and be pretty well assured that her hair would remain the same until the credits rolled. And in fact, as Bewitched progressed, even Samantha returned to the tradition of one hairstyle per episode.
Simply put: Before or after the first few seasons of Bewitched, was there EVER a character whose hairstyle changed throughout any given episode? Wracking my brain and can't think of one."Sterbo... Vectra... Rangay... Zeem. You're about to have a dream. And, in the words of a wise philosopher, it's going to be a BEAUT!"

Do the "Petticoat Junction" girls count, or is that too late? Seems like their hairstyles changed, but, honestly, I haven't watched that in so long!"Witches are good! Witches are dear!"

By George, Maurine, I think you're right! I also haven't seen PJ in awhile, but I'm nearly certain that the girls used to pin up their hair whenever they splashed in the water tower, and wore more glamorous coifs otherwise. And launched in 1963, PJ would have beaten Bewitched to the punch by a year. Great call! "Sterbo... Vectra... Rangay... Zeem. You're about to have a dream.

You're right Octolad, Sam's hair does change a lot. I was recently watching "The Brady Brides" on YouTube (I kinda wish they'd put this on DVD) and Marcia had a lot of different hairstyles. She had her hair down and partially pulled up but then in another scene had a side ponytail.
