My favorite magician: Why did this character change the face of the standard?

If you were attentive to multiple transformation of a favorite MA series on the M6, you might notice that the character changed his face. It was not so easy to fix it as they were the same and still “replacement” in two seasons. For what? We will tell you.

My favorite jean-pier

In 1964, ABC ordered a series called Bewitched (Ma Réchée Roaded Sorcière in French), Magician, Samantha and his wife Darin (Jean-Pierre). The latter is trying to convince his wife not to use his magical powers in a very daily life, Sam’s mother, Endora, who is bad for the marriage of the magician and the mortal.

This simple comedy spring will last for 8 seasons, with the arrival of new characters, including Tabata, Sam and Jean-Pierre, as well as a magician. But if Samantha is interpreted throughout the series by Elizabeth Montgomery and her unstoppable comic time, it is not the same for Jean-Pierre.

Dick York gives it its characteristics for five seasons, but it is difficult for the old trauma that took place on the Western teams of Cordura, five years before my witchcraft. In it AutobiographyHe says:

At this age, we believe that we are undefeated

“Gary Cooper and I were driving a car that was followed by a gun on the injured railway of several men. Although we were worried about the camera, I was at the bottom of this type of rock mechanism that made the car in advance. And that one wounded actor stretched out his hand and held the handle.

“I have not had a problem at that time,” he adds. “That evening I saw a doctor and he gave me pain to alleviate, muscle calmers and heater pillows. What is the relationship with the series? In 5 years of treatment and painkillers, Dick York developed drug addiction against drug addiction, which was turned off in the Sitcom team, which was already very demanding in energy.

At the age of 40, Dick York passes through seizures in the middle of the series of seizures and decides to resign and recover to view his back as his attitude. Unfortunately, he will also end in his career. It will take years for her to fight drug addiction and she will be tragically forgotten by profession.

During his departure in 1969, my favorite magician’s team was immediately looking for a replacement for him to continue the series and chose a certain dick, an actor who knows the showers well and for good reason!

Replacement … must have had a role from the beginning!

Ironically, Jean-Pierre had to play Dick Sargent from the beginning of the series, as he was originally chosen for this role. In addition to being in 1964, the actor was under contract with Universal Studio as he was going to play in the Broadside military Sitcom, which was canceled after the season. He was initially rejected by this role until he was renewed five years later for the above reasons.

Sargent provides three extra seasons (from 6th to 8!

Even if Dick had no expected effect, it would still allow Mutin Magician fans to get two additional seasons of the show, which ends on March 25, 1972, after 8 years of good and faithful service. Hats (noted) Samantha!
