Did Bewitched in a way, ruin Dick Sargent's career?
He didn't exactly have it as badly as Dick York, I mean Sargent was able to work consistently after Bewitched. But he was always going to be seen as the guy who abruptly replaced Dick York (in probably the most infamous recasting in TV history). On that end, Sargent was for the rest of his career, pretty much a journeyman/working actor, who usually got guest-star walk-ons. Down to Earth, a fantasy sitcom that aired on TBS in the '80s was probably Dick Sargent's most high profile post-Bewitched role. And again, Sargent replaced another actor in the same role.
