Here are some audio clips and title sequence images from Bewitched.  Copying, duplication or redistribution of any of these audio files and images without my prior written consent is prohibited.  The theme song, written by Howard Greenfield and Jack Keller, came in four flavors during the opening credits: One version for season 1, another for season 2 (not included below), and two more for seasons 3-5 and 6-8.  The opening cartoon by Hanna-Barbera also had three versions.  Seasons 1-2 (photographed in black-and-white), 3-5 and 6-8 (with Dick Sargent).
 
Unfortunately the theme as we see it on TV today is very untrue to its original form.  All current broadcasts and videotapes of seasons 1 and 2 have a grayscaled version of the 1966 [color] cartoon.  Why they did this is beyond me; the original one looks better in black and white anyway, and is more detailed.  As for the music, today we don't hear themes #2 and #3 any more!  On TV and all available videocasettes, they play theme #1 throughout seasons 1 to 5!  All original sponsor credits and music variations have also been stripped out from the opening and closing credits.  It would be cool if TV Land would restore them someday to their former glory.
