I'm not a fan of Bewitched. It's just okay. I'll watch it if nothing else is on. It doesn't make me laugh all that much compared to I Dream of Jeannie. It's a boring show. Samantha was a housewife, and although the humor came from the nutty situations her magic got the people around her into, the jokes were bland, and the characters one-dimensional (except for her mom). Tabitha, her daughter, inherited her magical abilities. She was a funny little girl. Bewitched stayed on for quite a long time, and should've ended right where it did. But Hollywood loves to do spin-offs. Many of them are awful. There's no other explanation I can think of for spin-offs being made besides money. Judging from the crappy shows that have came out of Hollywood - and still do - money is placed over quality.
Four years after Bewitched ended, the public was introduced to Tabitha. The series follows her life, living as a witch in a mortal society. This had the potential to be a cute show, but its flaws are too prominent to ignore. Did the writers do any research on the original series? Or at least know how to do basic math? Tabitha was born in 1964, which would make her 12 in 1976. But in the show, she's a woman in her 20s, living independently with a full-time job and car. She works as a production assistant at a TV station in LA, along with her brother, Adam, who's older this time around, and not younger like he was in Bewitched. Also, Samantha and Darrin aren't in the story, so I guess her and Adam hatched from an egg. The acting is cringe. Everyone's conversations sound rehearsed. The only positive thing I can identify is Lisa Hartman sounding just like Elizabeth Montgomery, so she was believable playing the part of her daughter. Otherwise, fans will be greatly disappointed with this spin-off. It was a missed opportunity. It made no sense not to include Samantha and Darrin. And changing the ages of Tabitha and Adam was just plain dumb. I'm surprised it stayed on for more than one season. The lack of continuity and the absence of logic just make it unenjoyable.
