tabatha became tabitha

I wonder how many people (or Bewitched fans) knows how 'Tabatha' became 'Tabitha'... The story started in Hong Kong, where stealing, cheating and faking original products was (and still is, as in China) a way of life. They started to manufacture a doll (stealing the ideea from a Bewitched episode with the clown and 'Tabatha Doll' ideea) adn puting it on the (international) market as 'Tabitha' in order not to get into (legal) trouble with the rights about the name 'Tabatha'. The americand public (which hardly reads the actor names at the end of the episodes, esspecially when these are hardly shown beacuse of the disturbing comercials), seeing the doll in the shops with the name 'Tabitha', asumed that this is (and has anything to do with and represents) the girl in Bewitched. Soon everybody started to talk about her (and call her) 'Tabitha'. The Bewitched producers, also knowing about this doll and how the people call the girl in their series, in order to attract as bigger public as possible, started to give the public wat they want (and HOW they wanted) and started to mention 'Tabitha - Erin Murphy' at the end of each episode in place of 'Tabatha - Erin Murphy' as it was in the first seasons (and as the REAL name is/was). Wrong decision! (in place of correcting the mistake, they deepend it). Soon everybody was 'sure' that the name is and allways was 'Tabitha' and never 'Tabatha'. Even the fake/imitation series made much later (imitating Tabatha from Bewitched as grown woman) was called 'Tabitha'. So, here you have it. Like the saying: 'One retaard throw a stone in the river and 10 rocket scientists are not able to take it out' (because in the river all the stones are the same...)
Conclusion: The series are the best series ever (and allways makes you happy when you watch it, forgeting about the hushness of life, like ABBA music does) and it should get a legend-status, but at least the fans should get it right when they talk about it. (The name is TABATHA! Not 'tabitha')
