love it
Adam should inherit magical powers from Samantha because she is a Witch just like Tabitha did because of their magical Mother .
I wonder why Sargent played Darrin so angry and downright mean. He had none of the charm and baffoonery of York that made his dislike of magic workable.
York was THE best.....
We don't know if the writers started scripting it that way. Having Darren be angry all the time is a one-track theme, and much easier than coming up with humorous dialogue. It could be that there was a change in writers, which seems to happen in all sitcoms... sometimes for the better but usually for the worst.
I wouldn't wanna point at Sargent's perfomance right away, it could've been something to do with the writers or the director, and maybe Sargent was just excecuting as told.
I heard that York was supposed to be the original guarantee but somehow he couldn’t take it on at that time so they gave it to
@@stevenj9970
I agree with you and I second that.
Little Adam looks genuinely delighted when the snail shell finally ends up in his hands! He's so cuuute.
I just love when Samantha uses witchcraft in Endora’s presence.Endora just loves it and is very proud of Samantha!😁
Maurice was the best grandpa ever 👏🏻
Maurice is the coolest. This much is obvious.
And his wardrobe is always impeccable.
The actors at that time had a small budget in with a small wardrobe; so they had a choice of using that small, theatrical wardrobe at hand or thrown clothes from home to wear.
Maurice and Endora always had their grandkids' back, and loved them before any magical powers were confirmed.
Yes!!!!!
Typical grandparents 🥰💖
Duh
So Adam had powers after all
I love it when Sam explained the importance of nurturing a natural talent, unlike Darrin 1 (writers choice) freaking out in SAMANTHA, THE SCULPTRESS. Darrin gave Adam the OK. He did levitation and made his relatives proud, even Darrin.
I also love Sam testing her son and then Adam popping her into the kitchen. Darrin: "Did you pop Mommy into the kitchen?"
Adam: "Yes." 🙂
Elizabeth Montgomery was so beautiful 😍
She wanted out of the show, too. She was a dramatic actress. If you've never seen her in a film, it's a delite.
Witchingly
Tabitha should have been learning witchcraft for years, hopefully after this both of the kids could learn witchcraft. Sam should just explain to Darren that if they don't learn it now then their witchcraft will be like Esmeralda's.
Yes, and or their magic could be dangerous to themselves and others.
Or it stores up and causes plugs and illnesses for which they need to call Dr. Bombay.
I think you meant Aunt Clara's not Esmeralda's.
Ha,ha,ha@@
I know this is a sitcom, but I was in a situation just like Darrin: my ex-fiancé's parents got in the way of our relationship for some reason and I had to end it. So for all the witches and warlocks to mock Darrin brings back those memories.
I really wished Darrin would have been more accepting of his family's powers
He was afraid for his family, just imagine what would have happened back then if it was discovered that they had magical powers.
It was one of the main premises of the show, if Samantha didn't have to hide her powers and her family's witchcraft it would have made the series more boring. Still she ended up doing things almost every episode anyway. He also liked Aunt Clara but unfortunately was afraid of her being around because he felt her mistakes made her dangerous
If only Darrin has accepted that logic the whole series,!! He could’ve saved himself some embarrassing transformations, but I like that he mellowed with the series and his kids!!
I know, right?
He was too stupid. He’d mouth off to Endora knowing she could end him. Just chill out. Especially this Darrin.
He had the spine to answer back even though he knew what was coming. Imagine if he kowtow'd to the mother in law every time. He'd look like a huge wimp. Gross.
@@TheLightFish he was a jerk from the beginning. Demanding Samantha not use her gifts and denying her heritage. That’s why Endora didn’t like him. He was a jerk.
@@Kagaines Right….you hypocrite. The witches/wizards/warlocks viewed all humans as inferior. When Darrin objects to anything; you people hate him. But you play mental gymnastics games to defend the behavior of the magical people. At least Darrin had a spine unlike you people.
They wanted to take Tabitha away too and Maurice had to intervene.
I second that.
@@ameliadiaz8040 I third that!
I fourth that!
Yeah they were recycling plots
@@memahselfni No, it actually made perfect sense.
Maurice is so much like my grandfather, when he spoke, you listened, and his word was final.
The series was supposed to run 1 more year. But Montgomery and her husband bill Asher were divorcing and Liz was growing so bored with the role. Hope that clears up why Adams powers were made public so late in the last season. That storyline probably wouldve been developed more for the 9th season
Absolutely I said the same exact thing. That's why when they did the spin off of Tabatha the pilot episode Adam had his powers. But the network didn't pick up the series, so then other writers had revisited the idea of the spin off which Lisa Hartman starred and Adam didn't have powers and they must of went off the idea Adam didn't use his powers anymore after this episode assuming he was mortal. Many people didn't like the series spinoff for that reason.
I never knew Adam had powers
When Endora said why do you keep saying no when I tell you yes.. Reminded me of my mother lol
Right here is where it shuts down the theory Adam had no powers. Mic drop. One part that wasn't shown was where Adam kept summoning Samantha to him. And considering the fact that Adam was old enough pass the stages of wishcraft they had to explain to him he couldn't use his powers like the way he wanted to. That is probably why it was written but he wasn't active with his powers like Tabitha was. Plus not only that the way the show had a properly ended that's another reason why.
What a beautiful child.
Son of actor Tony Curtis (twin boys by a fling with an actress) 🌸
The quote he mentions:
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptered sway.
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings;
It is an attribute to God Himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this:
That in the course of justice none of us
Should see salvation. We do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea,
Which, if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.
- Portia, in William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene 1.[1]
He says he gave Shakespeare permission to quote him, lol!!
Comedic actress Julia Louis Dreyfus did a poignant rendition of the first few lines of this soliloquy during her acceptance speech of the Mark Twain award recently.
@@SWLinPHX Oooh! I'll have to find that. Thanks!😀
@@Kit.E.Katz45 So you're more excited about finding the Julia Louis Dreyfus version than the Shakespeare version.....hilarious!
Yep, practically same episode only with Adam instead of Tabitha. Too bad Darrin didn't have that attitude from day one. Everybody would be so much happier.
He doesn't let her use magic, not to be a controlling asshole, but because he wants to be the man of the house and support her with his powers which, since he's mortal, is earning an income and supporting his family. He doesn't want to mooch off her powers and be a bum. That would be old and unattractive real quick for Sam.
Let her? You do realize she choose to marry him, right? And that she wanted a normal life and to only use magic sometimes, right? And you do realize that she didn’t tell him she was a witch until after they were married, right?
Was never into Bewitched as much as I was the other shows, now this clip has intrigued me to go have a marathon of it for this Halloween,.
The kid was scarred for life 🤣
In the Tabitha tv show , they made Adam mortal, and older then Tabitha which was wrong! They should have left that Tabitha was older( like the tv show.) And made Adam use his powers . in a caution way!
sure did.
the show could being a hit if they written it in cannon way
Interesting and true, proper talents are born to be nourished and used for good.
This was Adam’s final episode, so people who haven’t seen it think Adam was a mortal.
This was when Bewitched ran out of ideas. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
It didn't help that "Tabitha" also had the adult Adam as a mortal -- never mind that it was not only established canon that he was a warlock, it was also genetically impossible for him NOT to have been one. As a full-blooded witch, Samantha could only give Adam her witch genes. He'd only be half-mortal at the most, and since children inherit their parents' dominant characteristics, he'd naturally inherit her powers just as his sister Tabitha did!
@@harperstacey9604 oh yeah I just binged it. I had seen parts of it but never every episode. I thought he'd mortal until that episode. During the last season I felt like wait have I see this already? Oh no its just the exact same story again for example the truth spell. The last episode was an exact copy of an earlier one only reversed roles (female client and her husband, season 1 it was wise versa) but some dialogue was even word for word the same
@@legaleagle46 I thought maybe Adam chose to keep his powers secret I'm "Tabitha"
@@jonnaking3054 No, in "Tabitha," it was expressly claimed that only Tabitha had inherited Samantha's powers, and all Adam inherited was Darrin's allergy to chocolate. And that's why I reject that series as canon. Adam couldn't possibly have been fully mortal for reasons that I've already explained, and he was also too old. He shouldn't have been more than 19-20 and still living at home or away at college, not 27-28 and hanging out with his "little" sister (who is actually six years older than he is) in Los Angeles!
Haha! "If I explain things in mortal terms" just call him an idiot to his face
If the shoe fits..,
I love this show
What a beautiful little baby in the roll.
Adam to Harry Potter? The little wizard child phenom.
The things that people argue about here. 😂
The episodes with the children are the best.😍😍🥰🤩
Maurice was always so good wi th h Adam.
Yeah, Stef, after all he's Maurice's very favorite maternal grandson.
So, Adam turned out to be a warlock?
Yes.
They did the exact samething when Tabitha was tested and Maurice had to save her
😆😆😆😆
I wonder why so many of Samantha's relatives dressed like they were living in the 1800s.
They were probably born and raised in the 1800s
@@DinosaurNick I guess that makes sense...since they're "immortal".
Love It 💖. Are you allowed to put a little more full episodes?
Donna, are you a real psychic? From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Here, Samantha says it wasn’t wise for Adam not to use his hidden talent in witchcraft. But when Samantha found out about Tabitha’s powers, she encouraged her not to use it, especially in front of Darrin, who forbade any kind of magic in the household.
Really Sam? Then Darren should accept you from the beginning , Tabitha and Adam , I understand because they are children , but Sam is grown , Darren would have accept her witchcraft as a gift in the first place , as they should teach their kids witchcraft as gifts too! Darren stop Sam from being herself, that why Adam didn't use his powers because of his dad.
I never understood why they came up with this Grimaldi character so late in the shows run. When they tested Tabitha it was Enchantra and Hagatha, who appeared numerous times. They Should have used Hagatha again here for continuity sake. Nice episode though. Glad it was settled that Adam was a fledgling warlock.
Yeah, right... not bad for an amateur warlock. 🧙♂️
Was the actress still alive?
@@MrAudienceMember2662015 there were 4 or 5 actresses who played the part of Hagatha, including Reta Shaw who showed up again as Aunt Hagatha just a few episodes later
When I first saw this. I thought Grimelda was Hagatha
@Draper Scott yes. It was stated in dialogue that Hagatha and Enchantra were sisters. They were probably sisters to Endora also, or maybe Endora's aunts and thus Samantha's great aunts. It was never made entirely clear.
The comment section is so funny,, it's very dramaish too......,,,just enjoy the show,,gezzzzzz.,
sadly, continuity didn't remain with Lisa Hartman's "Tabitha" series. in her series, Adam was older and 100% mortal. He was also defiant against witchcraft like his father
Tabitha the series would most likely have been a hit if they had kept the Bewitched continuity , magic noises etc.
Lisa hartman was the wrong choice to play Tabitha. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 Lisa was perfect for the show. I just think they should have waited longer than just a few years for a spin-off since Tabitha aged about 20 years in that short amount of time. TV incontinuity makes no sense
@@davidcochran9753 did you know that Elizabeth Montgomery didn't want anything to do with the TV show, Tabitha. She felt the series shouldn't have been made.
@@harperstacey9604 yes i did. i also feel the movie with Nicole Kidman was a farce
This is David and Greg's ( Madel-Bloch) favorite episode
David and Greg were rumored to be the illegitimate sons of actor Tony Curtis. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 They where he Acknowledged them Years before his Death when they where in there 20's back in the Early 90's
@@gwb7875 I didn't know that he actually acknowledged them because for so many years he denied that he was their father. The boys have his eyes. Maybe it was a blessing that the boys weren't raised by him. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Somebody must have been helping him since Adam had no powers in the series .. I guess Maurice did it to keep them from ending Samantha's marriage
That was the entire point of this scene. Adam had always HAD powers, but he had been put under so much pressure from birth not to use them that he actively suppressed them until Darrin finally gave him permission to demonstrate them. We never saw it, but Samantha later gave him the same talk that she had to give Tabitha a few times about the importance of learning and using discretion in the use of witchcraft when Tabitha was his age and experimenting with HER powers.
He DID have powers
Those two crones in this clip are fabulous
Very CUT 🥰 Very Nice Love TV show 😁 classic
I still wonder if Adam's magic was his own. Maurice was holding his arms. Just saying.
At that bit yes but he was with Sam when a glass of milk appeared in his hands just after this and after that popped sam into the kitchen so i think he always had powers he never used them because he knew darrin didnt like it the latter bit when he pooped sam into the hitchen Maurice was gone
He does have powers... Maurice was just saying that he did it with his help so that they won't take him away for "training"
Reminds me of the scene with Grogu and Ahsoka. Or is it the other way around, and that scene was based on this one (which of course preceded it by almost half a century).
Say what you want but people were happier back then and that is a fact. People knew who they were and what they had to do. And they were happy. Now everyone’s depressed on drugs and the whole world seems fucked
Depending on what side of the divide you were on!
Very very true.
Maybe Adam had only "wishcraft" powers, maybe his wishing Sam into the kitchen was the last of it. He made at least one more appearance; in School Days, School Daze+" and he did NOT use any powers.
Adam might being a late bloomer for magic
Remember this episode from Bewitched is my favorite one
The twins who played Adam grew up to be very g-looking young men, but I believe they changed their names.
You mean the fraternal twin boys.
@@ameliadiaz8040 Where did you read they were fraternal? From pictures and what I read they seem identical.
too bad the writers of the short ran series of Tabitha didn't follow the original series and had adam a warlock
These season 8 episodes are so interesting; Endoras look, Samantha’s look, the hit or miss season 8 episodes. I LOVE that DARRIN lovingly( for dick sargeant) gave Adam his permission to use magic “ it’s o.k” . It was quite touching. Never paid attention to Darrins new and very late attitude. Need to see season 8 again.
I think he also realized that his powers are part of him and nothing will ever change that
They did the same thing to Tabitha!
The show was rehashing old episodes. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I'll bet Darren later REALLY had a tough time with Adam's teenage rebellion [forget the later spinoff show]!
Darrin was jealous that he himself was not a witch
Darrin didn't like witchcraft. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I thought only Tabitha has powers not Adam. Is it that both have powers?
Yes, and the point of this scene was that Adam had ALWAYS had powers but had suppressed them until this scene because of the "no witchcraft" rule that he had been raised with since birth.
My understanding is that this little guy is completely mortal and no magic.
I didn’t remember Adam ever having real powers.
He apparently didn’t use them only because he knew Darrin didn’t like it.
No… Adam was mortal. This must be an episode from an alternate universe. 🤔. Mandela Effect?
@@potsdam28 Tabitha knew Darrin didn’t like it, too but it didn’t stop her. No, Adam was mortal. This is a bizarre episode.

Particularly his very own magical powers.
wait! he's not 11 yet!
You mean Adam's not 11 years old yet, right, Kristi C?
@@ameliadiaz8040 he's not 11 years old yet, so he's too young for Hogwarts, and so he's not allowed to do magic yet, just ask the Ministry of Magic...😉

The same Dick York episode was made in tabatha Dick York same copy pasted
If they were sure the series was ending that year they should have left Adam's status (as either a mortal or warlock) ambiguous. It was strange to introduce it the couple minutes of one of the last episodes and never have had it addressed before or afterward. There was no time to develop or confirm that aspect of his character to just drop it like that at the very end one time.
By the way, where's Adam's big sister Tabitha anyhow?
The actress who played her was recently seen on a recent episode of To Tell the Truth wherein the celebrities tried to guess who played Tabitha on Bewitched (Tabitha was spelled Tabatha during the end credits of Bewitched, only to have have her name spelled differently when her own series debuted in the late 1970's)
In the spin-off , Tabitha , Adam has no powers .
🤔
Enchantra in this episode is Hagatha in season two! Both parts played by Diana Chesney.
Adam has no powers because his dad is cursed because of Darin the great
There was no chemistry with Darrin 2.
Preferred the original Darrin
I don't remember a son on this show only the daughter Tabbitha. Which season did he appear?

I kinda like Tabitha better than Adam. And who likes Samantha hair?
Tabitha is iconic! Samantha's hair is beautiful longer.
Of course! I’m sure most of us do like her more.Tabatha doesn’t hold anything back.I just know she would’ve been one powerful witch when she grew up.
Me too, I second that.
I had no idea Adam became a warlock. Why couldn’t they have left him a normal boy? Must have been undue influence from the Witch’s Union. 🧐
Or just Genetics 101. A full-blooded witch and a full-blooded mortal can only have children who are HALF-mortal at the most. And since children tend to inherit their parents' dominant characteristics, it was simply impossible for Tabitha and Adam NOT to have inherited their mother's powers.
@@Flyboy1953 Say, WHAT?
@@legaleagle46 Does that mean Tabitha’s powers are diluted?
@@Flyboy1953 When did Samantha say “they’ll dissolve the marriage by dissolving him

Dick york was so much better Samantha & Daren really looked like the loved each other sargent played him to up tight. The ironic thing is in real life Montgomery & sargent were good friends her & york didn't care for each other.
I never liked this replacement of Darren. I didn't feel the same chemistry. Almost felt the the characters Samantha n Darren woukd head for divorce ALL TO SAMS BENEFIT but since the divorce issue would have been a added no no on too of a witchy show...they just kept the semblance of the threads of original show idea...

My sister wore bell bottom pants with a wide belt. I wore chokers, the hair style is consistent for the time. She wore clothes that others wanted to emulate. Shirley Jones wore worse styles. Elizabeth always reminded me of my aunt. She looks fine. I’d love to have Endora’s wardrobe today.
