Dick York, who played the original Darrin, unexpectedly left Bewitched due to back pain and a painkiller addiction. The producers were then presented with a problem.

To ensure that fans supported Sargent before he appeared on the screen, ABC reran each broadcast in which York did not appear. Devious!
