I was just reading about Dick York the actor who played Darin Stevens along side Elizabeth Montgomery on the Bewitched TV series. I had no Idea why he left the show. Here is the link http://www.bewitched.net/filmfax.htm

Dick York played Darrin Stephens on Bewitched until back problems forced him to leave the show, and Dick Sargent took over the role. It's a famous example of recasting a lead on a long-running series.
