[@markwhitman9029]

I love endora. She's so happy her granddaughter is a witch and is so loving and adorable with her

[@RHTQ1]

I bet she helped too, at least in providing an example. After all, Sam may limit her magic, but while babysitting, she has a lot more wiggle room ;)

Tabitha Wiggles Her Nose: *"PRETTY PONY!!"* 🐎

[@unclenogbad1509]

Most sitcoms die the moment they introduce a baby, but not this one. Don't know how they did it, but Tabitha, besides being adorable, introduced so may storylines and situation possibilities, it really pushed the show along.

Agnes Moorhead was a phenomenal actress. A true legend!

AGREED!!!!! 500% 💜⚘️

[@Anne--Marie]

Erin Murphy was so adorable as Tabitha. She really did a great job for such a small child.

[@amiblueful]

That might be Diane. Erin and her twin sister Diane played the role until eventually Erin took over full time. They were slightly different looking.

Endora, went from reluctant grandmother to dotting grandmother. Common factor, witchcraft. 😀 Everybody, on Sam's side, were delighted when Tabitha and Adam's powers appeared. 😀 Maurice finally had a warlock for a grandson. Both Endora and Maurice loved their grandkids, but when both showed their powers, they couldn't contain their enthusiasm. Poor Darrin, now he has two witches and a warlock in the family, and he loves them all, despite the witchcraft.

[@wralford]

Agnes Moorehead was in many important movies starting in the '40s with Citizen Kane. I strongly recommend viewing them to see how brilliant an actress she was.

[@williamdonahue6617]

She was terrific in Dark Passage (1947, with Bogart and Bacall), right up to the moment Moorehead crashes through a plate glass window in a high-rise and falls to her death. Great movie, with terrific old scenes of San Francisco. As for radio, "Sorry, Wrong Number" was a masterpiece. Available on KZbin.

[@LWard-yt8ye]

You're absolutely correct. She was great in everything she was cast in.

[@kinndah2519]

It annoyed me so damn bad that Darren couldn't accept his family for what they are.

[@kinndah2519]

@shydmples They did accept it. They just didn't like the fact his character kept trying to make her something she isn't. He was always mad at them for being witches and for not trying to suppress it FOR HIM like how his wife was doing. For goodness sake, he even asked his wife if the baby was going to be a witch just after they got up from the beautiful news he was going to be a father! As if it matters and it's a problem! They wrote out his character to be toxic to a family.

[@user-kw7mr6xt9n]

@@kinndah2519 I mean, there are a couple times Darrin seems to accept it more by the end of the episode, but it never lasts. Gotta keep the status quo I guess smh

[@LadyLocket]

@shydmples The real issue was how they wrote him and how he treated his wife and children, he was controlling and abusive. They all had to be what and how he wanted even if it meant denying fundamental truths about themselves, all because he had to feel the "man" and in control of everyone and everything. He couldn't deal with finding out she was more powerful than him, so he goes out of his way to put restrictions on her to make himself in control. (I also HATE that they made it so he didn't find out she was a witch until AFTER they were married, that was manipulative too and unneeded for them to get together if he truly loved as they keep telling us he does) Sam never hated her powers or being a witch, she enjoyed doing things the mortal way but also loved her powers just as much. If it was she who wanted to suppress or hated being a witch and he didn't care but was supporting her in her decision to give up her powers that would be different, but she's only doing it to please him. She acts and sounds like a battered wife a lot of the time, constantly worried and frightened of her Husband coming home and his reaction to his expectations of her and the children not being followed, that is not a healthy relationship. Even when she dealing with some serious magical mishap she more focused on how angry Darren will be, that's classic abuse signals. She makes all the sacrifices and compromises in the relationship, whereas he makes none. His is inflexible and constantly complaining and acting like a bad-tempered, whiney child when it's not how he wants it. She even goes so far as to try and get everyone around them to change so as to not set him off. He treats her very poorly throughout the whole show, not just about her powers and rarely if ever shows any growth or true loving acceptance of his wife. How many episodes do we see her running around alone stressing about how upset Darren will be and putting out fires everywhere, with him getting mad and constantly criticising her time after time. I LOVE this show but I can acknowledge it has major flaws. I know they had to have some form of conflict and each episode was very formulaic, but I just can't like his character. Looking back it should have been him loving her and her powers, but sometimes her powers or a spell uncontrollably go awry or kooky family members turn up that gets a little out of control. Then they both get up to high jinks together trying to keep the mortals around them unaware. That way they are a loving partnership who accept and support each other ending up in wacky, funny circumstances.

[@lanabulmer6360]

@@LadyLocket All true, but it was a product of it's time. Wives were taught to have supper ready and greet your man at the door with his slippers in your hand.

[@adam32492]

Tabitha's powers as described in the episode had great potential but like in a lot of matters, needed lot of instruction.

As I read in the comment below how you people giving Darrin a hard time for not letting his wife and child be who they are You people realize this was made in 60s right. During those times people are not aware of a lot of things as they are today. What Is acceptable today It wasn't during those times.

[@cluvsonj]

They also don't understand that for a show to work it has to have conflict and the conflict where Darrin didn't want witchcraft in their home is what causes all the antagonism between him and Endora and also other members of her family and that made the show funny. It was hilarious to see all the stuff Endora did to him. If there was no conflict then there is no show.

[@trniyyfalldown9927]

I hated Darrin for not allow her to user her powers, as if was wrong. He was so selfish

[@shaalijones3484]

Trniyy Falldown it was really appropriate for the time. Women were just starting to explore their power outside of being a housewife. I think that this show was an allegory for that exploration and that Darren’s reaction to and rejection of witch powers reflected how men of that era reacted to women seeking higher education and meaningful work outside of the home. Darren continually tried to assert his authority over Samantha, was thwarted, and then emotionally evolved with each conflict.

[@LadyLocket]

@@shaalijones3484 The problem was they reset him each episode so it seemed he never learned and just made his character look abusive. It should have had him evolve over time to fully love, accept and support Sam as she is the way she does to him and they sort out the magical mishaps together. Not just Sam each episode running around constantly fretting "what Darren will do when he finds out". Especially once the little ones came along, between the kids, the mortals and Kooky family members there was enough conflict to make each episode funny without him being a whiney child to the very end.

[@shaalijones3484]

Lady Locket true enough, but the writers did continually push his envelope. And, Sam, while trying to be ordinary, always defaulted to her true self. Right from the beginning Darwood (snicker) would tell her to behave like a good little wife/child and Sam would launch shrimp cocktail at a person trying to put her down. Result: Darren would hurumph and then hug her. Sam always, in the end, held true to herself and Darren accepted her, their age difference (300 years 😜) her delightfully kooky family, a witch for a daughter, and chaos all around.

[@belkyhernandez8281]

He wasn't selfish. If people had known they were witches they would have been persecuted.
