When “Bewitched” first aired on September 17, 1964, no one imagined it would still be alive today. While the show itself lasted eight seasons, Samantha’s signature twitchy nose is something nearly everyone still recognizes today. To top that, the story was made into a movie starring Nicole Kidman and Will Farrell. A TV show remake has even been rumored, since NBC ordered a pilot in October 2014.
While Samantha tried her best to keep her own secrets, the show’s producers weren’t able to keep everything hush-hush. Here are 20 things you didn’t know about “Bewitched.”
