The Most Hilariously Flustered Husband in TV History


 The Most Hilariously Flustered Husband in TV History — The One & Only Dick York as Darrin Stephens!

If there was ever a man born to play the role of a perfectly normal guy married to a witch, it was Dick York — whose portrayal of Darrin Stephens on Bewitched was beloved for his wonderfully humorous and endlessly exasperated reactions to the magical chaos caused by Samantha's powers. Nobody in television history could bug their eyes out in sheer disbelief, sputter an incomplete sentence, or do a slow-burn double-take quite like Dick York! Pop culture historian Geoffrey Mark noted that "York brought charm and boyish sex appeal to the role — he could handle the broad comedy the show called for but also excelled in its more dramatic moments." Whether Endora had turned him into a goat, Larry Tate was about to walk through the door at the worst possible moment, or Samantha had just twitched them both into Ancient Rome, Darrin's jaw-dropping, hand-wringing, thoroughly mortal panic was pure comedy gold every single time. As his son Chris York beautifully reflected, "Bewitched was a love story at its heart — the magic was secondary." And Dick York was the beating, bumbling, gloriously funny heart of it all!
