Darrin from Bewitched can suddenly read minds! But he might be wishing he really was a witch's husband before the lighter-than-usual episode concludes. The Twilight Zone, Episode #52: "A Penny For Your Thoughts" (original airdate 02/03/61) The Plot: A man buys a newspaper, drops a coin in the vendor's box, the coin lands on its edge -- and the man is suddenly gifted with the ability to read minds. The Goods: Mr. Hector B. Poole (Dick York) makes all the typical mistakes made by a beginning mind reader: He stares at people, he replies to what they're thinking rather than what they're saying, and he thinks busts (the artistic kind, not the womanly physical sort) are talking to him. When Hector stares at a bust »

London, Aug 11: American situation comedy 'Bewitched' is all set to be remade.
The original 1960s series, starring Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York, Dick Sargent, Agnes Moorehead and David White, ran for eight seasons. It was a huge hit.
The show was reinvigorated in 2005 when Nicole Kidman stepped into Montgomery's shoes in the big-screen adaptation.
The CBS television network wants to weave their magic on the sitcom now. They have ordered a script from Sony Pictures Television, reports dailystar.co.uk.
The story is about a witch called Samantha who marries a human being and tries to lead the life of an urban housewife.

News broke Tuesday (Aug. 9) that CBS and Sony are developing a remake of the 1960s sitcom "Bewitched." Our first thought was "Another remake?," and our second was "Hope it's better than the Nicole Kidman-Will Ferrell movie."
Then, as it tends to do, our minds wandered to casting the roles of suburban wife and witch Samantha (played by Elizabeth Montgomery in the 1964-72 series) and her mortal husband Darrin (played by Dick York for five seasons, then by Dick Sargent). We have several ideas for Samantha -- some conforming to the pretty-blonde archetype set by Montgomery, some not so much. And since the change from York to Sargent is such a part of the show's history, we've gone ahead and suggested a few pairs of Darrins as well.
Samantha, going with type: We immediately thought of Sarah Chalke, the former "Scrubs" and "Mad Love" star (we know she just »

Despite the failure of the 2005 film reboot with Nicole Kidman, CBS is pursuing a small screen remake of classic sitcom "Bewitched" says The Live Feed.
The original starred Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha, a witch who marries a mortal named Darrin (Dick York, later Dick Sargent) and attempts to become a typical suburban housewife.
The network has ordered a script from Sony Pictures Television which "Miss Congeniality" scribe Marc Lawrence has been hired to pen. Lawrence will also executive produce.
Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher, who produced Nora Ephron's 2005 film, will also produce this which is expected to be a more straightforward remake of the original series. »

The networks are starting to order scripts for the 2012-2013 season. Each network will order dozens of scripts. Some of those will be filmed for a pilot. A small fraction will then be ordered to series. We won't cover every script here at Collider, but we will try to address a few of the more notable projects in development. Last night, that was the Lincoln Laywer series. Earlier today, it was a modern-day Frankenstein. And tonight, right on the cusp of noteworthy, we have a Bewitched remake. The original sitcom about a witch and her beleaguered mortal husband ran from 1964 to 1972 on ABC. Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman led a film adaptation that wasn't especially successful in 2005. Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher, the married couple behind the movie, didn't let that set them back -- they will executive produce a new series at CBS by way of Sony Pictures Television. »

It seems that CBS is remaking another series trying to add to it’s recent successful Hawaii 5-0. Variety is reporting that the network has a script order in play for Bewitched.
The interesting piece about the news is the studio is employing 2005 film producers, Douglas Wick and Lucy Fischer, to executive produce and run the comedy reboot.
We all remember the 2005 comedy with Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman that didn’t quite have box office magic.
The original Bewitched was an American situation comedy originally broadcast for eight seasons on ABC from 1964 to 1972, starring Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York (1964–69) and Dick Sargent (1969–72), Agnes Moorehead, and David White. The show is about a witch who marries a mortal and tries to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife. Bewitched continues to be seen throughout the world in syndication and on DVD and was the longest-running supernatural-themed sitcom of the 1960s–1970s era. »

"Bewitched" looks to be making a return to television. Variety reports that CBS is interested in developing a new series and has hired Marc Lawrence ( Did You Hear About the Morgans? , Miss Congeniality ) to draft a pilot. The original series, which ran for eight seasons beginning in 1964, told the story of a married couple; Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery), a witch and Darrin (first Dick York and later Dick Sargent), a mortal. The show spawned a short-lived spinoff, "Tabitha" and a made-for-tv animated film "Tabitha and Adam and the Clown Family," both centering on Samantha and Darrin's magical daughter. In 2005, Columbia Pictures released a feature film version, starring Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell. Attemping a post-modern take on the »
