Bewitched was a weird show that's managed to work its way into my brain for the better part of two decades. This is one of the weirdest subplots of the early seasons and I'm here to share it with you.

His excuse was part of the joke. Comedy in those days was not the 'logical smart' comedy you saw in later years. The whole show was based on absurdity. If this scene bothered you, don't even attempt to watch Green Acres, where every cast member except Oliver is completely nuts. That's the charm of the show.

You are overthinking this, there is nothing behind the statement "I'm colorblind", it's just meant to be comedic.

LOL, I'm sure she appreciates the explanation, although I doubt she missed the obvious joke.

There are a ZILLION Holes in Bewitched scripts. My favorite is Samatha, who can not be two people at the same time. Then she twitches herself up as a castle tour guide & watches herself give the tour! 🤔🤔🤔

That's so funny!!!

No absurdity here, it makes total sense ! The tv was in black & white only because at that time, this was no other way around ! But the real world is in color ! He was in the real colored world ( still, we know it's a show... ) but it's not because the image on a tv is in black & white that their lives must be interpreted in black & white ! He is color blinded while his wife sees the world as everyone sees it ! But the different texture in her hair makes it very different for him while a change of color makes no difference at all ( colorblinded ) ! No error ! But indeed, a very good show !!! In french, it was called: Ma sorcière bien aimée !

She said he didn’t notice her when she wore the platinum wig and the blonde wig. A color blind person could not tell the difference between the two. There wasn’t anything said about him not noticing her in the brunette wig.

Always about the HAIR, GO FIGURE😂

Internet rumor has it that the car in "Car 54 Where Are You?" was in fact not a black & white patrol car but rather red & white, perhaps so as to not to be identified as official NYC police by the public during filming.

@chloeeastwood6696 Год назад

That's AMAZING!!

@abrahamdozer6273 Год назад

More likely because red renders better on black and white photographic emulsions. Their makeup would have been garish and oddly colored too but that isn't because they were all punk goths.

From what I've read about CAR 54, the NYC cars were green & white, not B&W, and green looks closer to red than black does.

Oh really 👍👍😊 No

I thought the same as you when I saw this awhile back. As others have surmised, Abner was just ignoring Gladys as usual.

@Thomas-yr9ln 2 месяца назад

LMAO He doesn't have to look at her he already committed her to memory.

@gilwood7530 Год назад

BEWITCHED and everything else was B/W until '83 when my folks finally got a color set

@TheTruthKiwi Год назад

Hehe that was the joke. Of course even a colourblind person can tell the difference between black and white 😂 It's basically a gag saying that men don't really care about what their wives look like as long as they look normal. 😂😂😂

@JeanDumas24601 Год назад

LOL, now I know how Leonard, Howard, Raj, and Penny felt :)

@chloeeastwood6696 Год назад

Thank you! That's so kind of you!

EVINCIVE // The only way to recover completely from broken bones and near fatal accidents is to make the mind indestructible. I am destined for victory. I know I am tough. // The only way to triumph over physical and mental obstacles is to demonstrate resolve and fortitude. Overcoming pain and adversity requires never giving up. // Even though I still have broken bones that does not mean I am broken and weak. Even though I am disabled, I am not permanently weak and powerless. // In all battles and warzone arenas, we are tested mentally and physically. We are defined by our ability to overcome, not by our limitations. Never give up. // The only way to triumph during battle and war is to never give up, no matter how rough and bad times get for us. After setbacks, we emerge victorious. // How do we want to define ourselves during our obstacles? We define who we are by our positive attitudes. We are unconquerable and undefeatable. // I am not permanently weak broken powerless nothing and insignificant for my Autism disability. I do not judge people for the wars they suffer through. // My broken collarbone injury does not make me broken. I chose to persevere and overcome my present broken bone obstacles. Actual heroes never give up. // In order to triumph as a triumpher and champion and achieve greatness victory excellence and success, we must never give up. Everyone has a voice on Earth. // Everyone has a film song and story to share to the universe. The past does not matter. The future is to be decided. Seize the present now. Direct your films.

It's suspension of disbelief, as well as artistic license. I love the show. still watch it daily. Thanks!

@chloeeastwood6696 Год назад

Glad you enjoy it!

@alanknotts5975 Год назад

Your overthinking the joke. It's a riff on the stereotype husband, especially so during that time, was largely uninterested in his wife. That leads to an escalation of absurdity on the wife's part leading to the outlandish hairstyle in the conclusion. Because the stereotype of females, especially for the time, was that they would do anything for attention.

Just a quick comment from someone who is colorblind. Most colorblind men (women are rarely colorblind) can see color but have difficulty differentiating between shades. I, for instance, have difficulty telling olive drab from tan which occurs at a rate of 1 in 10,000 color blind men. Rarely someone has significant color color loss, but never total. I remember the clip above and recall the various wigs she wore. The scene is funny but truly makes no technical sense. One note, it seems that only women have matching outfits. With us men, blue is blue - colorblind or not.

@chloeeastwood6696 Год назад

Haha right?

@TVonthePorch Год назад

I can top that--this scene has been bothering me for almost 50 years!

@chloeeastwood6696 Год назад

Omg yes! I'm not the only one!!!

@nevermore1570 Год назад

You dont understand how original film equipment worked. Black an white wasn't a filter it was just what was able to be captured at the time. Thats why the Adam's Family house is actually painted Pink

@wanderlust62 8 месяцев назад

Ah, he's not seeing black and white... the film was black in life and the real recording was in color...

@gilwood7530 Год назад

And miss montgomery played Serena ... But it was just her playing both parts !!! She really wasnt a witch

@gailbostock Год назад

that long blond wig in black and white really suits you

@chloeeastwood6696 Год назад

That was my old hair, lol! I really did get a cut and color. But thank you. I did like the blonde, too!

Part of the joke is that Abner is convinced Gladys has gone 'round the bend, moreso since the Stephenses moved in next door. So his responses to Gladys are frequently nonsensical and dismissive. The other part of the joke is that you are completely devoid of humor.
