Dick York felt forced to quit the show over a chronic back injury that he gotten while filming Cordura. At the time there were no surgeries to fix the type of injury that he sustained to the muscles and spine, and his pain never went away. He spent years getting by on pain killers alone, and then ultimately had a seizure on set and never returned. They shot a few episodes without Darrin before recasting him with Dick Sargent.
