Bewitched is an American fantasy situation comedy originally broadcast for eight seasons on ABC from 1964 to 1972. 254 half-hour episodes were produced. The first 74 half-hour episodes were filmed in black-and-white for Seasons 1 and 2 ; the remaining 180 half-hour episodes were filmed in color. Film dates are the dates the Screen Gems distribution company reported the episode was "finished". In many cases, that means that the major portion of the episode was filmed days—maybe weeks—earlier, and pick-ups and insert shots were done on the completion date.
