The Great Gazoo is honestly not even one of the top 10 stupidest things on the original show. Everyone just ignores that there's a Bewitched crossover in it for no apparent reason.

I always like to imagine the pitch for ideas like that. "Just picture it! It'll be the talk of every school's playground, office's water cooler, and home's dinner table that week! Works for the whole family!"

Gazoo is in the top 10 greatest things about that show, and how dare you sully his name by connecting him with the Bewitched crossover... Which wasn't even that bad.

Wasn't there also a Bonanza crossover?

Actually, it was a satire on Bonanza.

The Bewitched x-over was because it was on the same network as the Flintstones (ABC) and from the same parent studio (Screen Gems). Gerry Johnson (Betty) appeared on Bewitched during its 1st season. You'd have to look quick, as she appears at the end of "A Vision of Sugar Plums" w/Bill Daily to adopt Bill Mumy's character. So, Dick York & Elizabeth Montgomery agreed to return the favor and do the x-over the following season.
