David's FB post about the finale of "M*A*S*H" got me thinking--and maybe this has been discussed before--but what might a "Bewitched" finale episode have looked like? It's been 40 years, but I still want closure!! Any thoughts?

really have no idea how they would have done it. Think it was best endind it the way they did. But suppose only ended that way because the cast all thought they were coming back for a 9th season.

All in all, though, we could have done much worse than end it on a kiss! Almost right where we started.

I would like to see an episode where Darrin becomes partner at McMann and Tate. Also, I would like to see Endora and Maurice finally accept Darrin as their son-in-law and Darrin allows his children to learn witchcraft. It would be an episode that would resolve all the conflicts that Sam and Darrin had over their 8 year run.

I also think a flashback episode from all 8 seasons would be fun.

A flashback episode only would have worked if Dick York was still on as Darrin.

My two cents....

They could get away with it if they were able to make a joke about it the they did with the Becky character on Roseanne. Check this out. Funny stuff!

Great ideas! Thanks for the Roseanne clips, Twitchell! What a hoot--I'd forgotten that they'd done that. It's too bad things weren't copacetic among all parties to have been able to do something similar on BW. It could've really been funny. Maybe even incorporate a little Samantha/Serena stuff. Ah well, you're right, though, Bob--at least it all ended as it began...

I'm guilty of not popping in here much these days, but I haven't really spent much time on Facebook either.
I promise I'll try and think of a new topic we can all discuss. I tried it a while back when I asked if anybody had any ideas for a Samanthaless episode. It did get a few responses.

Anyway to answer the question...

I think the last episode should have involved Derwood and Endora switching bodies. This would have been a way for each character to really understand the others point of view. With Endora and Derwood coming to an understanding, the conflict that drove the show for 8 years would be resolved and we would get a happy ending. I think DS and AM would have knocked it out of the park playing each others characters. If they ever did a show like this, I honestly think it would have been one of the funniest episodes of the entire run.

Darrin and Samantha could go out to eat where they went on their first date, reminisce, and then come home and have Samantha announce she's expecting their third child with Maurice & Endora nearby actually being nice to Darrin.

Sorry y'all, I just peaked in here after spring break. Those are GREAT ideas. I love them both!! That would really have given it all some closure, and, frankly, after eight years, fans deserved that! Oh, well. Without the right incantation, we just can't change the past.... Backward, turn backward, o time in thy flight...!

Looking forward to a new topic, Zapper!

I'm working on an article re. costumes/clothing. Looking for someone to help me with the visuals...

I really really really wished they had done that skit that was planned for the early 80s - Lisa Hartman was to be Tabitha with Dick Sargent being Darrin in the kitchen and Dick York being Darrin in the living room. I forget which show it was going to be on, one of the skit shows of the time, but it would have been a hoot.

Never heard of that--that is clever!
