Surprising Stories from the Set of Bewitched

Those instantly recognizable animated opening credits didn’t come from a typical TV graphics department. They were created by Hanna-Barbera Productions, the same animation powerhouse behind some of the most beloved cartoons of the 1960s, giving Bewitched a playful, modern edge right from the start.

This was the studio responsible for The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and later Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! Their signature style helped make Samantha’s nose-twitching intro unforgettable. The animation perfectly matched the show’s whimsical tone, setting viewers up for magic, comedy, and suburban chaos before the first line of dialogue.
