anybody agree? watching season five of Bewitched--his final season. Great episode called "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall" where Endora puts a vanity spell on Durwood.

1. No question
Dick Sargent didn't do fashimmelt anywhere near as well as Darrin No. 1.

I thought I was gonna pee my pants when his ears kept getting bigger. :rofl:

6. It's from the German "verschimmelt" meaning "rotten"
And I guess it describes a person in a state of great confusion, which is a perfect description of Darren(1).

7. Farshimmelt: (far-shim-elt)
literally, rotten, moldy. When you say a person is "farshimmelt" it means they are confused, mixed up (i.e. their mind is old and moldy.)

Guess I meant "meshugge." :shrug:

3. Yeah, Dick York was, and always will be Durwood to me.
Dick Sargent gave it a valiant effort, but Dick York just IS Darrin.

9. Regardless of the two actors

I never understood why she didn't divorce him and kick his sorry ass out of her house.

I love that show.

Anybody but me remember the sequel? "Tabitha" Ithink it lasted like two eposides, which was two too many. Utter crap, but who never wondered what became of Tabitha and Adam.

Khash.

10. He absolutely did!
Whenever they had those polls on Nick at Nite about who was the better Darrin, Dick York always won in a landslide...:D

14. I was particularly fond of that character, too,
And I think that she was the only member of Samantha's family that Darrin actually liked... She was great, and very funny!:loveya:

13. Dick York cannot win as Darrin and must step aside!
Dick Sargeant is clearly the only logical choice for Darrin!

15. Typical Sargeantista remark
You're just bitter because York gets the votes!
