Talk:List of Bewitched characters

Variations of spelling

I am posting this for any editors (I hope that some of you are still around) who worked on this list. Per the end credits here [1] it looks as though the spelling of Tabitha's name changed during the show's run. If WP:RS's can be found explaining why this happened it might be worth mentioning it in the article. MarnetteD|Talk 17:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

It changed to Tabitha with an I in "Samantha on the Keyboard," her first appearance in season five (1968). It's spelled as Tabatha with an A in the credits for seasons three and four (and I think once in season two). The only mention I've found for why the name changed is from Harpies Bizarre quoting an article by Mike Connolly in "Screen Stories," from February 1967: http://www.harpiesbizarre.com/tabstory.htm Mupept (talk) 07:55, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your research on this Mupept. Do you think it should be mentioned in the article? If not as a full sentence (or two) maybe as a "footnote" - Thanks again. MarnetteD|Talk 18:18, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

I've just come across this page from Bewitched.net

http://www.bewitched.net/tabithaspinoff.htm There was a pilot before the Lisa Hartman Tabitha series. The pilot was named 'Tabatha' and starred Liberty Williams and aired only once. LavGreen (talk) 10:22, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Endora

I thought it might be worth mentioning in the article that the origin of the name "Endora" is "The witch of En-Dor" in the Old Testament. I think that was pretty clever of the writers. Mlavie (talk) 19:13, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Characters table

I've added in the characters table, but the recurring ones need to be sorted by first appearance in the series. Please help rearrange the rows and entries. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:58, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

The Wikipedia MOS for Television says "If reliable sources cannot adequately distinguish between recurring or guest roles, then local consensus should determine their status" so I thought I'd post here. I wonder if some of the characters/cast with mixed "Recurring" and "Guest" should be changed to be completely one or the other. For instance, Mabel Albertson and Robert F. Simon are listed as Guest in season 3 because they appear in only one episode, but listed as Recurring when they only appeared in two episodes each in seasons 1 and 2 (and one of the season 2 appearances was just a flashback). I also suspect that while Paul Lynde and Maurice Evans have a few seasons where they appear in multiple episodes, they were still contracted as guest appearances (although I have no documented proof of this).
