Samantha is a witch, an experienced Gummy scientist, and former head of Karamelle’s Marketing Department. She claims to have invisible familiars named Prudence, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. She has two other witch sisters, Endora and Tabitha.
Bewitched is an American fantasy sitcom television series that originally aired for eight seasons on ABC from September 17, 1964, to March 25, 1972. The show was popular, finishing as the second-rated show in America during its debut season, staying in the top ten for its first three seasons, and ranking in eleventh place for both seasons four and five. The show continues to be seen throughout the world in syndication and on recorded media.
A beautiful witch named Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) meets and marries a mortal named Darrin Stephens (Dick York, later Dick Sargent). While Samantha complies with Darrin’s wishes to become a normal suburban housewife, her magical family disapproves of the mixed marriage and frequently interferes in the couple’s lives. Episodes often begin with Darrin becoming the victim of a spell, the effects of which wreak havoc with mortals such as his boss, clients, parents, and neighbors. By the epilogue, however, Darrin and Samantha most often embrace, having overcome the devious elements that failed to separate them. The witches and their male counterparts, warlocks, are very long-lived; while Samantha appears to be a young woman, many episodes suggest she is actually hundreds of years old. To keep their society secret, witches avoid showing their powers in front of mortals other than Darrin. Nevertheless, the effects of their spells—and Samantha’s attempts to hide their supernatural origin from mortals—drive the plot of most episodes. Witches and warlocks usually use physical gestures along with their incantations. To perform magic, Samantha often twitches her nose to create a spell. Special visual effects are accompanied by music to highlight such an action.
Samantha Stephens is a witch. She was born to Endora and Maurice around four hundred years ago. She married a mortal man, Darrin Stephens, and had two children with him, Tabitha and Adam.
She gave up her magical life to live with her husband per the promise she made to herself to give it up for his sake. Yet, try as she might, she invariably resorts to witchcraft to solve the problems her family encounters, but only after she tries every possible mortal way to solve them.
