Have met Erin several times over the years, at autograph shows. She is always, without a doubt, one of the nicest people you'll ever meet!

[@PopCultureRetro]

Agreed! Really kind person, and very gracious.

[@LoydKline-uw4no]

Very lucky, ❤️ tabitha

[@UnprocessingWithMamaLi-xn6nl]

So enjoyable! Thank you for co-creating this interview.

[@chrissyknowsitall5170]

She is just simply gorgeous and so friendly. My husband and I loved Bewitched and its a real pleasure finding these on yt. I love hearing her stories about being on the set. So sad all of the actors are gone. When Liz Montgomery passed so young that was really hard for me and I know a lot of other fans. But this was great to watch. Erin is such a humble and nice lady.

[@PopCultureRetro]

Erin was great! Loved hearing her stories. Bewitched had such a great cast. Thanks for watching! :)

[@randymccord5893]

Erin was a blast and so entertaining. Her pets were so cute causing all that chaos in the background with all the chasing and barking. Thank you, lady and gentleman!

[@PopCultureRetro]

The dogs were a huge hit! :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Miss Murphy, Mr. Eisenman, and Mr. Pop Culture Retro, thank you all very much for your time and for your insightful information!

[@PopCultureRetro]

Thank you for watching! :)

I really enjoyed this interview she's a doll and she was great as Tabitha and Bewitched is still is one of my favorites I try to see a favorite episode when I can and she had a great time on the show especially around ENDORA and Aunt Clara and Uncle Arthur she got to work with some of the greatest legends in Hollywood

[@PopCultureRetro]

Yes, so many legends on that show! And Erin was great fun with fantastic stories! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for sharing this WONDERFUL interview. Enjoyed every second of it. Such a lovely lovely woman.😊

[@PopCultureRetro]

She certainly is! :) We had a lot of fun chatting with Erin. Thanks for watching!

[@kerrykeene6471]

I love Erin's point about the tone of the series changing a bit as BEWITCHED went on, particularly in the latter seasons. Liz wanted a bit more of an edge to the stories and depth. BEWITCHED always had themes like accepting people for who they are, love, Sam fought against bigotry, etc. In real life, Elizabeth supported many groups of people that were targets of hate.

[@PopCultureRetro]

You could feel the tone change as the series went on. And yes, she was great that way! :)

[@CoreyChambersLA]

Erin Murphy hasn't aged a day!

[@hfxmusicman]

What a fantastic interview this was. Erin seems like such a nice, level headed person. Great channel guys, just found it this week. Looking forward to more great interviews.

[@PopCultureRetro]

Erin was a lot of fun, and great stories! We're glad you found us! :)

[@darrylruiz2573]

Tabitha was so adorable and Erin was a great little actress

[@PopCultureRetro]

100% agree.

[@ThePopcornpassport]

Heyyyy!!! Great show! I am definitely com8ng back for more 🍿🍿🍿

[@PopCultureRetro]

Thanks for watching!

[@thatjpwing]

I'm so curious about the attempt at Bewitched in the 90s. I remember the People magazine article, it had a still from the 1st episode of the 4th season where Samantha turns Darrin into a goose by mistake. The article said it would take place in London and Liz had agreed to appear in the first episode only. But then I heard about these other ideas, one being "Bewitched Again!" and "Son of a Witch" which was suppose to be about Adam... I'm thinking Erin might be talking about "Son of a Witch"?

[@deetlesbug3008]

Erin is just awesome! Saw her previous interview with the other podcast! BTW Erin, get a doggy fountain! Saves a lot of time of filling the water bowl! Lol🤗

[@PopCultureRetro]

But the dogs were an integral part of the interview! :)

[@deetlesbug3008]

@@PopCultureRetro but of course they were! Any dog lover knows that your dog is just an extension of you! Lol

[@hirumbiffidum9145]

@@PopCultureRetro Yes I hear a little kid with furry satellite dish ears and a wet nose with sweat glands making barking sounds too ! That's cause doggies and Kitties are not animals they're people they're living creatures that have feelings 👍🐕🐈

[@PopCultureRetro]

@@hirumbiffidum9145 Agreed

[@larryshaver3568]

some articles stated Bewitched as starting in 1963, what year did it actually start?

[@PopCultureRetro]

shows as having started in 1964

[@1223steffen]

I like both Darren’s

[@matthewhildebrandt1901]

Great interview! It was really fun to hear her stories and memories. I was interested to hear if she's had any contact with little brother, Adam, but we didn't get there. Sorry to be "that guy," but the description above says, "Erin Murphy from Happy Days." Would be great if that could be changed. Thanks again for a great episode!

[@PopCultureRetro]

We fired the intern :)

[@ericjay6021]

Happy Days? Maybe he got confused with Erin Moran?

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

Tammy Grimes was a Tony Award winning actress. She played the title role in the original Broadway production of Meredith Willsson's *The Unsinkable Molly Brown* (1960).

[@PopCultureRetro]

Definitely could've seen her in the role as well

[@harperstacey9604]

Tammy grimes was married to Christopher plummer who starred in the movie,the sound of music. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@scottrap]

“Escape to Witch Mountain”!

[@terracelady]

Just watched the episode today called Samantha Fights City Hall, it's about the removal of the children's park and you can clearly tell that Tabitha is played by Diane Murphy not Erin Murphy and I was wondering why? There is a definite difference in their looks

[@PopCultureRetro]

Agree totally! Only started looking for it after the interview. :)

[@CandidoRicardoRicardoVieira]

Ela continua muito linda !!! Tabata, very good enterview !

[@PopCultureRetro]

Thank you, and yes, she is!

[@hirumbiffidum9145]

Speaking of Ike Eisenman What a coincidence Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan is going to have a 40th anniversary showing in cinematic theaters ! I swear I've never seen a performance by anyone on this show that I didn't like :) Disney movies with the magical harmonica. Guest appearances on Wonder Woman, CHiP's among others :) I feel sorry for people that don't tune in to this ...

[@PopCultureRetro]

Wrath of Khan was soooo good! Would love to go back and see it in theaters!

[@PopCultureRetro]

And thank you for the kind words! :)

[@chuc5o]

If I could ask a question. I would ask why she did not da a little house or Walton's or love boat.

[@kerrykeene6471]

There's an interview with Bill Asher here on YT. He discussed the reason why Dick York had to leave. It's like Erin said here, he suffered a seizure onset and was taken to the hospital. Asher said that York had not only suffered a seizure, but he went into a coma, one the doctors had trouble bringing him out of, so they called Asher. He came and talked to him, until he came round. Scary. I've always considered Dick Sargent's Darrin and Dick York's Darrin of the first two seasons similar. York's Darrin in seasons three thru five I find angry and aggressive, and almost abusive. That was fault of the writers. I also find York's Darrin a bit more chauvinistic. Dick Sargent and Elizabeth, from what I've read, hit it off when they met and stayed friends until his death. Agnes Moorehead mistreated him for two years, which angered Liz.

[@PopCultureRetro]

Will definitely have to check out that interview! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@terracelady]

I wondered if it was agreed upon not to discuss the twins playing Adam being Tony Curtis sons

[@harperstacey9604]

The twins were a result from a one night stand between Tony Curtis and a playboy model. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@lisawintler-cox1641]

Dharma and Greg is Bewitched without magic.

[@PopCultureRetro]

That was a good one!

[@robertanthony5010]

It be great if .She could play Tabitha in a new TV series as a adult. ???

[@PopCultureRetro]

Would love to see that!

[@robertanthony5010]

A new Bewitched TV series. As Tabitha in 2022 or 2023

[@KOSMICKEN09]

She's very attractive I hope I look half that good when I'm 58

[@chekkygurl182]

She looks a bit like Elisabeth Montgomery herself. Good choice playing her daughter then.

[@larryshaver3568]

Frank Sinatra recorded the theme once too

[@PopCultureRetro]

Not sure if I heard that one. Will look up

[@waynesmith3908]

You had The Lovely Erin Murphy there and You did not talk more about the cast and Tabitha/ Erin !! Why? You had Erin right there and you missed out on asking her soooo much !! Like lets Talk about Tabitha interacting with Maurice Tabitha's Grandpapa No one ever talks about him, Marian lorne Aunt Clara, Uncle Arthur, The Apothicary, Dr. Bombay, The two Leprechauns, Auntie Serena, Aunt Bertha, Aunt Hagatha, Aunt Enchantra all the sisters of Endora, Many characters How about how old was Endora and Maurice Uncle Arthur [brother] says Endora was OVER 4000 years old so just how old was she ? Did she ever find out what the last name of Maurice was? Endora says to Darin Oh you never be able to pronounce it and that was that. Does Erin speak with Adam her TV brother? how is he? Working with the Animals could of been expanded a bit Like the monkeys the Unicorn, The Elephants, The Dodo bird !! How about asking Erin if that Bedpan by her fireplace is the same prop from the Salem Trip to the House of the Seven Gables? Lets Talk about Cousin Henry Uncle Arthur's Protege Like why did they introduce him was Paul Linde busy or passed away at that point? The fact that in that Episode Tabitha got to tell Mommy and GrandMama the Transendental spell to save the Store salesman from being a Mannequin forever. Does Erin own a DVD Collection of Bewitched ? She has mention in other interviews she has not seen every episode. The DVD collection is only around $35 Dollars. Why does she not have a copy ? Seriously I could just go on and on. I have tons of questions to ask !! How can I get an Autograph or Autograph Photo of Erin Murphy ?
