During the filming of They Came to Cordura in 1959, Dick York suffered an excruciating back injury. This later later led to a dependency on painkillers and to York missing a handful of Bewitched episodes in seasons 3 and 4. In January 1969 during season 5, he underwent a seizure on the set of Bewitched and resigned from the show while talking to producer William Asher in the hospital. In January 1969, Dick Sargent was announced to be taking over the role of Darrin. The rest of the fifth season still airing on ABC was mixed with episodes York filmed prior to leaving and several non-Darrin episodes filmed afterwards.
Even though Elizabeth Montgomery played Samantha's identical twin cousin, Pandora Spocks is credited as playing Serena starting in season 6 as an inside joke by Ms. Montgomery and her husband WIlliam Asher. The term is a corruption of Pandora's Box.
