Bewitched was watched by millions of people who crowded around their televisions to get a better look, all because they couldn’t wait to find out what mischief Samantha would get into next. You might have even given the renowned nose-wiggle a shot yourself at some point. There was a lot going on behind the scenes of the show, despite the fact that it appeared that they were having a great time filming it. The truth of why the program was canceled was one of the many non-magical secrets that the creators of Bewitched wanted to keep a secret from the public.
Montgomery Hiding First Pregnancy
During the time that Montgomery was a cast member for the show, only two of her three pregnancies were shown on screen, despite the fact that she actually had three children (as the magical births of Tabitha and Adam). Even if the actress was pregnant during the first season, you wouldn’t have known it to look at her. Strange as that may seem, but back then, such was the norm. The television network felt that it was inappropriate for Sam and Darrin to be expecting a child so soon after exchanging “I do,” so they decided to conceal the entire pregnancy announcement from the audience.
A Serious Injury
After appearing in the first five seasons of the show, Dick York suddenly vanished without a trace. Sargent was recruited to take over for him, and the producers were relieved to have finally found their Darrin. However, there is a tragic reason for this: while filming They Came to Cordura, York suffered a serious injury to the muscles on the right side of his back. The physicians prescribed the actor pain medication, but he never completely recovered from his injury.
