Shows that feel likeBewitched (1964–1972)

Samantha Stephens is a seemingly normal suburban housewife who also happens to be a genuine witch, with all the requisite magical powers. Her husband Darrin insists that Samantha keep her witchcraft under wraps, but situations invariably require her to indulge her powers while keeping her bothersome mother Endora at bay.

If you loved Bewitched, the closest series we have are I Dream of Jeannie (1965), El Chapulín Colorado (1973) and ALF (1986). All three share Bewitched's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Frasier (1993).

For Eric, Kelso, Jackie, Hyde, Donna and Fez, a group of high school teens who spend most of their time hanging out in Eric’s basement, life in the ‘70s isn’t always so groovy. But between trying to figure out the meaning of life, avoiding their parents, and dealing with out-of-control hormones, they’ve learned one thing for sure: they’ll always get by with a little help from their friends.
