Rating: - Lisa Hartman's Old Nose!
Lisa had her nose done after this series; she is more beautiful now at age 50 than she ever was then. I had her on my flight (I am a Flight Attendant), and she looks twenty years younger than she is.
Rating: - Tabitha
I remember watching the show when it was on in the 70's and I do remember how disappointed I was when it was quickly cancelled. I thought it was a cute funny show, but it was just never given a chance, much like the networks do to shows these days (i.e. Book of Daniel, DAYBREAK) I think if the network had given it a chance and had more Bewitched stars "visit", the show may have gotten better. I was so happy when Lisa Hartman moved to the cul-de-sac community of KNOTS LANDING in 1983 though--I love Lisa Hartman-Black. I think she got major talent in singing and acting and loved her as Singer Ciji Dunne and doppelganger Cathy Geary.
Rating: - Lisa Hartman has what it takes to do anything!
Lisa Hartman has what it takes to to do whatever she darn pleases! I love Lisa and have all her albums (too few in my opinion!) She is an excellent singer and it's a darn shame that she doesn't record anymore.
As for her acting, she's a darn good actress too! But, you have to take TABITHA for what it's worth - pure entertainment. When I've had a rotten day, I like to put my feet up, with my cat on my lap, and watch this.
Try it, it must be magic, it works!

Concededly there was a lot of room for improvement, unfortunately ABC never gave the show a chance to develop further. For a 1970s show, it was par for the course. Lisa Hartman definitely had what it took to carry her own show. And she and the actor who played Adam resembled their TV parents enough to make it seem plausible. "Tabitha" is charming in its own way. And yes, the guest appearances of original characters like the Kravitzes and Dr. Bombay were welcome delights (only wish Ms. Montgomery and Uncle Arthur showed up too). The original pilot included on this DVD is just a dull re-telling of the original Bewitched pilot. Too bad this show wasn't given the opportunity to turn into what could've been another classic.
Rating: - Entertaining
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!
