It's great to see all of the people here who love Agnes Moorhead's Endora as much as I do. There was an exotic grandeur to her performance that was perfect for the show. I only wish that she had won an Emmy. She was certainly deserving.

Loved her, Agnes Moorhead was an incredible actress. She was part of the Mercury theater Orson Wells acting troupe. She was Endorable.

As a mother-in-law, Endora was a better than Darrin's mom. I think Mrs. Stephens disapproved of Sam more than Endora disapproved of Darrin. I also think Endora did things more in the spirit of fun. And, she had to maintain her reputation among her relatives. She did once defend her daughter's marriage in front of the Witches's Council. And, she showed no ill will towards her grandchildren.

I think Endora certainly liked to stir the pot in her daughter’s marriage. At her core, she really loved her grandchildren, and Samantha’s happiness. While she didn’t exactly like Darrin, I think she at least respected him on some levels for his love of his family. I personally didn’t care for Mrs. Stephen’s. She often pushed her own agenda with Samantha, and belittled her. For example, she took it upon herself to sign Tabitha up for school without Samantha’s permission, or when she decided to hire a maid for Samantha before she had the opportunity to discuss it other Darrin. She had maids lined up for interviews before Samantha had the opportunity to discuss the issue with Darrin. Or when when she decided that Tabitha need better social interaction with other children, and decided for herself to set tabitha up for play dates against Samantha’s wishes. I would take Endora over Mrs. Stephen’s any day. At the very least, she was very transparent about her feelings towards Darrin, and she came to his defense on a few rare occasions.

I want someone to compile ALL of Endora's incantations in one obsessive video! LOL

Endora was better than anyone else on the show.

ALWAYS LOVE THE CLASSIC COMEDIES..🤣🤣🤣

Endora was 100% right about baseball how ridiculous it is and this is the American Pastime , in between having babies that is. what a joke

Dick York's presence was sorely missed. Thank you.

True. There was a subversive message in their dynamic. Endora constantly challenged the notion that the woman had to contort herself to be whatever the man wanted her to be.

It is really hard to compare a sort of odd/eccentric supporting character (Alice Pearce as the first Gladys Kravitz) to a leading well-rounded character (Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stephens). But I share your love for Alice Pearce. Of all the hilariousness on that show, I thought Pearce was the best, even over Agnes Moorehead and Marion Lorne (Aunt Clara). It was really a shame that Alice Pearce died so soon after her run on Bewitched began.

She knew she had terminal ovarian cancer (ovarian cancer was almost always fatal in those days) when she took the role, yet played Mrs Kravitz better than anyone could have. To keep that smile and sense of humor... Tough lady. Did anyone on the cast know she was terminal? I can only imagine their had to be talk on the set. She was so obviously sick toward the end

Nobody knew until she told them, but by then it was too late. I heard that one of her last request was to have a few lines with Agnes. I think it was granted in the episode where Endora claims to make Tabitha talk, but she just threw her own voice.

For the longest time, Samantha's explanation of baseball was how I viewed it, too. Endora's interactions with mortals were always...to use an Endora type word: delightful.

Nobody else could be Endora.

🖤🧙‍♀️🖤 why do I always agree with Endora?

favorite moments are when she first meets Darrin and then when she turns into a tree..... general spell casting when she freezes everybody was also fun. :3

You know you have watched too much Bewitched when you know all the dialog word for word.... lol

"These are by chance made with the Alice B. Toklas recipe?" " No I made them with my recipe" "I Think I will pass". (Not exact quotes) This is very clever. I wonder how many people at the time got the joke, which is a reference to Alice B. Toklas' recipe for hash brownies!
