Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: The Other Darrin Edition

I was a little bit stunned to find out that this week is the fiftieth anniversary of the first broadcasts of ‘Bewitched’, the sitcom about a pretty young magic-user who gets so tired of her husband that she transforms him into another guy entirely three years into their marriage.  Having grown up watching the show, it’s easy to forget that it was nearly twenty years old when *I* first saw it, especially since it’s never really gone away.  Even now, people too young to have ever seen the show refer to changes in actors in context of the change from Dick York to Dick Sargent, an impressive achievement after five decades.  York’s exit (due to a severe back injury and painkiller addiction) does bring to mind another, more pointed line of thought, one which has led us to today’s emergency replacement query…
