Why Were There Two Darrins On Bewitched?

In the earliest episodes of the series, two Secret Square games were played on each show with a different prize offered for each game. The Secret Square was played in both the second and third games of the day, but after two weeks the Secret Square prize only carried over to the third game if neither contestant had claimed in it the second game. From the second season forward, the Secret Square was only played in the second game. Hollywood Squares was always played as the second segment of the show, and featured the winner of the Match Game match played in the first half of the program facing off with the show’s returning champion.

In this game, a randomly selected Secret Square is shown only to the home audience by the shot of the television camera. A contestant who picked that panelist during the game won a bonus prize package if they correctly agreed or disagreed with the star. The question for the star was sealed in a special envelope and was almost always multiple choice. Tabitha Stephens’ birth in the season 2 episode “And Then There Were Three” featured infant Cynthia Black in the role.

The nighttime versions featured the same two contestants playing for the entire half-hour with each completed game worth $300 or $250 . The contestant with the most money at the end of the show won a bonus prize, which for the first seven years of the syndicated series was a car. From 1978–80, the endgame described above was utilized with each prize worth at least $5,000 including a new car; cash prizes of $5,000 and $10,000 were also available. If the match ended in a tie, one final question was played with the star of one contestant’s choosing; if the contestant agreed or disagreed correctly, he/she won the match; otherwise, the match went to the opponent.

For the remainder of the season, Tabitha was played by twins Heidi and Laura Gentry, followed by twins Tamar and Julie Young. Fraternal twin toddlers Diane Murphy and Erin Murphy were cast for the role at the beginning of season 3. In time, they began to look less alike, so Diane was dropped during season 4. Diane made several guest appearances in other roles, and filled in as Tabitha one last time in season 5’s “Samantha Fights City Hall”, because Erin had the mumps. Tabitha was played by Liberty Williams in the 1976 pilot and by Lisa Hartman in the 1977 series of the same name.

This version of Hollywood Squares saw several different variations on the gameplay. Second, the questions followed either a multiple-choice or true/false format. Third, for each square a contestant claimed $25 was added to his/her score with each game win starting at $100 for the first and increasing by that amount for subsequent games until time ran out and a winner was declared. In contrast to the original version of the show, players could win games by default if the opposing player incorrectly agreed/disagreed with a celebrity whose square gave the other player a completed row or five-square win. On all other version of Squares, the player had to earn the winning celebrity on their own.
