Bewitched Star: I Never Watched Black-and-White Episodes
15 Nov
Summary
- Actress Erin Murphy never watched the early black-and-white Bewitched episodes.
- She joined the show during its first color season, season 3.
- Murphy spent most of her childhood filming with adult cast members.
Actress Erin Murphy, who famously portrayed Tabitha Stephens on Bewitched, revealed a surprising detail about her viewing habits: she has never watched the show's black-and-white episodes. Murphy and her twin sister, Diane, were cast as the young daughter of Samantha and Darrin when they were just 18 months old.
Murphy joined the Bewitched cast for its third season, which was the first to be filmed in color. She humorously noted that she "brought color to Bewitched." The show, which also starred Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York, aired for eight seasons on ABC, concluding in March 1972.
Reflecting on her childhood, Murphy shared that she spent most of her formative years on set, often as the only child present. She particularly enjoyed episodes where her character attended preschool, as it allowed her to interact with other children. However, these instances were rare, and her typical experience was filming alongside adult colleagues.
