An Introduction to "Bewitched" Quiz

Answer: Adam

Adam was the name of Darrin and Samantha's second child, but only son. It was originally believed Adam was a mortal but was later shown (in the final season) that Adam had magic of his own. While Adam was a warlock on "Bewitched", he was a mortal on the spin-off series "Tabitha".
The births of Adam and Tabitha were a result of Elizabeth Montgomery being pregnant while filming episodes of the show.

Answer: Gladys Kravitz

The Stephens' nosy neighbor Gladys Kravitz was played by two different actresses. She was played by Alice Pearce for the first two seasons and by Sandra Gould for the rest of the series. Gladys was married to Abner, who didn't believe his wife's stories about the strange things surrounding Samantha.
Louise Tate and Frank Stephens were also played by multiple actors. (This excludes Tabitha and Adam, since they were young, and it's common to have characters that young played by multiple people, usually twins, due to child labor laws.)

Answer: Christopher Columbus

Thanks to the presence of magic, sometimes historical people would appear in the present day.
One such person was Benjamin Franklin. He was zapped when Aunt Clara was trying to zap an electrician. He became fascinated by all the new inventions. Esmeralda conjured up Paul Revere after failing to send a Paul Revere teapot back to its rightful spot. A witch used her magic to send Samantha back to the time of Henry VIII where the king tried to have Samantha as his wife.
Other historical characters included Julius Caesar, George Washington, Leonardo da Vinci, and Sigmund Freud. Sometimes, imaginary or literary characters would appear. Examples included the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, the Artful Dodger, Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk, Sleeping Beauty, and Hansel and Gretel.

Answer: Advertising executive

Darrin worked as an advertising executive for the company McMann and Tate. It was owned by Howard McMann and Larry Tate; however, Darrin would work with Larry more often than Howard. Several episodes of the series involved the clients of Darrin's jobs. Samantha would try to help Darrin by using magic.

Other times Darrin would believe the client was a witch. Larry's wife, Louise, was one of Samantha's best mortal friends.

Answer: Serena

Serena is Samantha's cousin, who, like many other members of Samantha's family, loathes mortals. Due to Serena's physical similarities with Samantha (in almost every way but hair color-Serena had black hair; Samantha was a blonde), she would often impersonate Samantha. Serena was portrayed by Elizabeth Montgomery, who was credited as Pandora Spocks (a play on the phrase Pandora's Box).

Answer: She got along with Darrin quite well.

Aunt Clara was unique among Samantha's family in that she got along with Darrin better than other family members. Likewise, Darrin did not dislike her unlike other members. Clara liked to collect doorknobs (something she shared with Marion Lorne, the actress who portrayed her).

However, Clara had a poor memory and often forgot the spells she performed leaving Samantha to clean up the mess.

Answer: Twitched her nose

Samantha twitched her nose to perform magic. The twitching was done by wriggling the upper lip and not the nose. Originally, magic was going to be done by a hand movement, but William Asher (the director) wanted something different-something special.
Other characters performed magic in other ways. For example, Tabitha placed her finger on her nose. Endora, on the other hand, didn't do anything when she performed magic.

Answer: No

Darrin's parents appeared in quite a few episodes (the first being "Samantha Meets the Folks") but neither parent found out Darrin had married a witch. However, just because they were around didn't mean something magical didn't happen. One example was when Endora cast a spell to be charming around them and it caused Darrin's mother, Phyllis, to think Endora was trying to fall in love with Darrin's father.

Another example was when Tabitha caused a doll to fly across the room, and Darrin's mother believed she was the one who caused it to happen.

Answer: Samantha

Samantha Stephens, played by Elizabeth Montgomery, appeared in all of the episodes. Dick York was the first Darrin and played the role for the first five seasons. Several episodes during the last half of the season did not include Darrin because of the switch. Dick York had collapsed on set and would eventually become unable to continue the role.

He was replaced by Dick Sargent, who played the role for the final three seasons. Endora and Tabitha had recurring roles on the show. Endora first appeared in the first episode of the series while Tabitha made her debut appearance in the second season in the episode "And Baby Makes Three".

Answer: Yes

Endora never got along with Darrin, since he was a mortal. The feeling was mutual on Darrin's part. She would often mispronounce his name, with some examples being Dorian and Darwood. Although it was rare, there were times in which Endora pronounced Darrin's name correctly; there were only eight such instances.
