Surprising Stories from the Set of Bewitched

Bewitched was filmed on 35mm motion picture film, rather than cheaper video formats that some shows later adopted. This production choice gave the series a richer image quality and more cinematic look than many sitcoms of its era.

That decision paid off decades later. Because the original film elements were preserved, Bewitched has been able to receive high-quality remasters for syndication and home release. It’s why the show still looks surprisingly crisp today, allowing Samantha’s magic and those classic sets to shine long after the 1960s.
