The Darrin Divide

Growing up, I was a huge fan of the show Bewitched. My friends and I used to have Nick at Nite sleepovers so we could stay up late and watch reruns of the crazy antics of Samantha and Darrin Stephens. But something that really bothered me about the show was how Darrin was replaced by someone else after season 5. The same character, two different actors. How is that ok? You can't just change actors halfway through a show's run and hope nobody notices. The Great Darrin Switch even divided my group of friends in two. You had your Dick York fans (the original Darrin) and your Dick Sargent fans (the imposter). Naturally, I was a Dick York girl. But things got pretty heated. Eight-year-old girls can be mean.
