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.

And, in the words of a wise philosopher, it's going to be a BEAUT!"
