SIDE QUEST 3: Bewitched Behind the Scenes, with SPECIAL GUEST Herbie J Pilato
Happy Halloween! We are thrilled to be joined this week by Herbie J Pilato for a very special conversation about some important episodes of Bewitched not included in Season 2. Herbie is a renowned actor, writer, producer, and TV scholar who has devoted much of his career to preserving the history of Bewitched and other beloved classic sitcoms. He has written Bewitched Forever: The Immortal Companion to Television's Most Magical Supernatural Situation Comedy (2004) and Twitch Upon A Star: The Bewitched Life And Career Of Elizabeth Montgomery (2012), among many other authoritative books on this period in television history. Herbie graciously discusses the time he spent with the Bewitched cast while researching these books - what we wouldn't give to have watched an episode with Dick York! Herbie, we are so grateful for your time and for all that you do to make sure that future generations are able to discover this bewitching sitcom.
Please find out more about Herbie and all of this work at his website here: https://www.herbiejpilato.com/ and be sure to follow him on social media!
