Dick York had a back injury because of another film he was filming at the time. You notice how he's very scarce in season five? He later got addicted to the pain medication and could not complete the rest of Bewitched so they had to replace him.

Elizabeth Montgomery, who played Samantha was married to William Asher, who was the main director/producer of the show. During the eighth and final season, she fell in love with Robert Michaels, a regular director on the show, and had an affair with him. This broke up Montgomery and Asher's marriage and the show.
