Bewitched originally aired from September 17th, 1964 to March 25th, 1972 and still airs reruns to this day because of its massive popularity. The show revolves around a witch who marries a regular, human man and promises to lead the life of a typical housewife. The show finished as the number two-rated show in America during its debut season and was ranked #50 on Billboard's "TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time."
