After all the negitive reviews, I was very skeptical to buy this. But I said WTH why not! I must say I really enjoyed it. I absoulutly adore Lisa Hartman as Tabitha. She does a very good job. I found it humorous and enjoyful. I guess everyone has thier own opions. Its a real shame that it didnt last longer. it would have been really nice to have more episodes to enjoy, IMO!
Now, a lot of people have been saying how better of the series would have benn if it followed the unaired pilot. I have to disagree. I found the alternate pilot kinda boring. I liked Ms.Williams as Tabatha, but the thing I didnt like, in this pilot and the one that aired, is adam. In the unaired pilot I found him annoying and in the series I found him even more annoying LOL. Although I do think the series would have been more interesting had Adam been a warlock, JMO.
I hope this review helps you out!

I was absolutely in love with this show for the short time ABC aired it back in the late 70s and had the sense to ignore the negative reviews here when I ordered it last week. Verdict: I'm still guilty of loving the very young Lisa Hartman as Tabitha Stevens.
Now, true, there is a thin resemblance to Mary Tyler Moore, but there is enough Bewitched to make a die-hard fan like myself smile in total approval. Lisa Hartman wears her hair, wears clothes similar to, and acts enough like Elizabeth Montgomery to pass herself off as Samantha Stevens' magical daughter, while David Ankrum plays mortal brother Adam, who happens to be a chip of the old "Derwood" block. The late Robert Urich as egomaniacal Ted Baxteresque on/off love interest Paul serves to work up some notable sparks, and Karen Morrow as Aunt Minerva is so bewitching all by herself that she often steals the show away from the rest of the cast just by showing up for as little as 2 minutes in a given episode. Of special note, check out the original pilot with Liberty Williams and Bruce Kimmel to see how much better I think the show might have gone had Adam been kept a warlock.

I REALLY, REALLY wanted to love this show - in 1977 and in 2005. When I was 13, the pilot premiered on ABC as a "Special" in the Spring of '77. It then moved to a regular weekly slot in the fall of '77. I watched it sporadically, and what bothered me then - still bothers me now. Lisa Hartman is indeed a delightful presence, and is totally believable as Elizabeth Montgomery's "daughter". But the show was inconsistent with the BEWITCHED backstory (Her brother Adam is powerless, while on BEWITCHED he did indeed possess his mom's gifts), Aunt Minerva (Karen Morrow)seems intent on getting Tabitha into morally questionable situations and there was a disturbing "occult" overtone in some episodes (which I didn't feel was present on BEWITCHED). There were a few enjoyable episodes, though, and the "guest spots" from original BEWITCHED cast members (the Kravitzes, Dr. Bombay) are fun. Maybe I was hoping for a duplication of the joy I felt / still feel from the first show. As far as the dvd itself is concerned, the picture quality and sound are EXCELLENT, and the bonus feature - the first (and in my opinion, superior) TABITHA pilot from 1976 is included (with a totally different cast).

This spinoff series to Bewitched, one of the greatest sitcoms of all times, tries very hard to capture the magic of the original but just misses. It's cute in it's own way and fun to hear the soundeffects from the original series reused as well as some of the characters such as Dr. Bombay (played again by Bernard Fox) and the Kravitzes (played again by Sandra Gould and George Tobias). And who can deny how cute Lisa Hartman as Tabitha is.
The problem though is that the characters don't seem to be fleshed out until the last couple episodes but by then it was too late. And the fact that this show started in 1977 only five years after Bewitched ended makes you wonder how Tabitha grew up so fast.
The video and sound on this DVD release is awesome! Crystal clear and vibrant!
If you're looking for some light fun you should check this out.

After reading the reviews, I was a bit hesitant, so I rented it instead. I will say the show is a bit on the bad side, but it does has a good side too. I really like the more youthful look of the 70s that the show has like the bubble gum lamp in her apartment or her VW bug she drives. And the cameos from some Bewitched stars like Dr. Bombay do may a nice little trip back to the 70s. So if you just want to watch something for a night that you have nothing to do watch this!!!!
