The original broadcast versions of Bewitched opened with that week's sponsor introducing the show. This 1965 opening was sponsored by Quaker Oats. Different not only in look but sound, the theme had more chimes highlighting the effects & a slightly different arrangement than we are used to hearing in the syndication versions. Click on the Quaker Oats Logo to download the original Bewitched theme.

Soft theme music begins to play ...
Anouncer: "The Quaker Oats Company Presents"... Logo dissolves into moon...
the witch flies past the moon & the theme goes into full swing... with the apperance of the show's title ...
the witchs flies past again breaking up the title ... our favorite witch again apears ...

Samantha twitches her nose & pops into the kitchen... Darrin enters & upon kissing her she pops out...
only to appear at his feet as a cat...

She jumps into his arms & returns to her usual self... the pan on the stove smokes up...
and after the smoke clears we see Sam & Darrin standing ...

Darrin tries to kiss Sam again & she pops out...The Announcer returns:
"Brought to you tonight by, Ken-L Ration, Regular, Liver, Stew, hearty new Hash too".

Here's the Quaker Oats commercial tag that preceded the end credits.

The 1964-65 season of Bewitched ended with this animated, geometric Screen Gems logo & accompanying musical tag.
