One of my all-time favorite TV series is "Bewitched." I loved that show as a child and still love the reruns as an adult. It never gets old.
I read somewhere that consideration had been given to using Elizabeth Montgomery's dad, Robert Montgomery, to play her father on the show. Ultimately, of course, the role of her bombastic, blustering, domineering but loveable father went to Maurice Evans, who was just marvelous in the role (Maurice is one of my favorite characters on the series, along with Uncle Arthur and Dr. Bombay).
I have to wonder, though, what it would have been like to see Robert Montgomery acting with his daughter on this series. What a shame we never got to find out! I wish they could have cast him as another uncle. Since Arthur was Endora's brother, Mr. Montgomery could have perhaps played Maurice's brother. What fun that would have been!
Oh well - "Bewitched" was classic anyway! Still, it makes you think about what might have been.....
