Surprising Stories from the Set of Bewitched

Tabitha Stephens is widely recognized as the first magical child to appear regularly on a prime-time television sitcom. From the moment she arrived, her uncontrolled powers created mayhem, often revealing Samantha’s secret at the worst possible moments.

Instead of serving as background scenery, Tabitha became an active source of stories and laughs. Her magical mishaps added a new dynamic to Bewitched, expanding the show beyond newlywed comedy into family life. It was a groundbreaking step that influenced many later fantasy and supernatural TV families.
