Bewitched 1977 spin off: Tabitha promo

The series starred Lisa Hartman as Tabitha Stephens (some sources spell her name "Tabatha"), the daughter of Samantha and Darrin, now a young woman in Los Angeles working in television, while learning how to use and control her witchcraft powers. Helping her along (or hindering her) is her younger brother, Adam (David Ankrum), while Robert Urich appeared as her love interest.
The only actors from the original series to appear were Bernard Fox who reprised his role of the warlock Dr. Bombay, and George Tobias and Sandra Gould who made guest appearances as Abner and Gladys Kravitz. Neither Elizabeth Montgomery nor Dick Sargent appeared on the new series. Actress Karen Morrow played Tabitha and Adam's meddlesome Aunt Minerva, who was always after Tabitha to use her witchcraft.

1977 to 1978 12 episodes

Pretty sure they all knew they were making rubbish.

I met Liz a few times, and was a HUGE Bewitched fan, this show lacked everything, charm, charisma and good writing, it was just plain dismal. Liz wanted no part of it and for good reason. You can't recreate past magic.

I'm pretty sure to this day..Ms.Hartman would prefer to forget that she ever did this stupid tv spinoff.

she's only 21??!!

That nose twitch seemed so forced.

They really should try a 2012 remake of Bewitched. It's been off the air for 40 years now. It's time. JJ Abrams should give it a spin. There's a few great younger actresses who would do justice to the role with the right script, and the right direction.

I remember the show lasted about 5 minutes..it sucked

[DA90027]

This show had ZERO charisma, none of the actors seemed to put any magic into it. The 70's was a different era and they were really stupid for even trying to do this show. Liz was garnering Emmy noms for her brilliant TV work, why go back and do this dreck?

@71666kdb Serena was Samantha's cousin.

@beachgrad98 Never mind, Serena was her cousin.

Appealing cast and idea, but a classic example of what happens when studio executives are allowed to tamper with the script. If a show doesn't have a strong executive producer or uncompromising lead actor this is what happens.
