2* ''Manga/SallyTheWitch'' was directly inspired by ''Bewitched'', and led to the entire MagicalGirl genre.
3* ''Anime/OkusamaWaMahouShoujo'' is one such MagicalGirl show, its subtitle is '' '''Bewitched''' Agnes''.

6* In ''Literature/TheresMoreThanOneWayHome'', Anna's busybody neighbor tells her about a meeting she isn't invited to; Anna ends the conversation as quickly as possible. When Val says, "You don't want to find out more?" Anna snaps, "Of course I do! I just didn't want to find it out from Gladys Kravitz. She already thinks I'm a witch."

9* ''Series/TheExpanse'': Avasarala's contact list shown briefly in "Tribes" contains "[[Series/DoctorWho Who, Dr.]]", "[[Series/{{Bewitched}} Stevens, D.]]", and "[[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Clegane, G.]]", among others. All names of characters in shows that had been recast (like her husband's character had been).
10* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'':
11** In Season 8, Mike and the 'bots watched ''Film/{{Clonus}}'', which featured Dick Sargent in an antagonistic role. The riffers spent a good deal of time making ''Bewitched'' jokes, such as Sargent being TheOtherDarrin and references to assorted characters.
12** Later in the season, they watch ''Film/PrinceOfSpace''. When one character tries to get another to look at something, Servo shouts, "Abner, come look!"
13* ''Series/{{Passions}}'': The most extensive reference of the show. A main character in the soap was named "Tabitha", who was a witch with parents named Serena and Darrin.
14* ''Series/WandaVision'':
15** Agatha Harkness lives in the same house as the Stephens.
16** The show was one of many American sitcoms Wanda grew up watching as a child. The premise of the "show" she creates in Westview is conceptually close to ''Bewitched,'' with the added twist that Vision also has something to hide. The second episode also very directly rips off ''Bewitched'', using similar sound effects, a scene where Wanda and Vision [[SleepingSingle slide their beds together]] (alluding to Samantha and Darrin being the first non-IRL married couple to share a bed on TV) and the episode ending with a switch to color (reflecting what ''Bewitched'' did shortly after Tabitha was born).
17* ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'': As a nod to the magic-based sitcoms that came before it, Alex has a teacher named Mr. Larrytate.

20* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': In "Jenny Fromdabloc", Stan watches an episode of ''Bewitched'' and asks Francine to treat him like a man from the 1960's, starting by giving him a martini when he gets home from work. However, Stan CantHoldHisLiquor and keeps blacking out, and by the time he wakes up, things around him have changed [[StopTrick seemingly in the blink of an eye]], convincing him that Francine is a real witch. To cap it off, Stan has a martini-induced dream based on the ''Bewitched'' opening, with Francine in place of Samantha.
21* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
22** In "I Never Met the Dead Man", Peter starts to go mad from TV withdrawal and has a nightmare spoofing the tornado scene from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. A bunch of popular TV characters fly past him, including [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie Jeannie]] transforming into Samantha.
23** In "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire", a ''Bewitched'' parody is featured where Darren becomes fed up with Endora and [[Film/TheExorcist splashes holy water on her]].
24--->"Yeah! The power of Christ compels you, bitch!"
25** A cutaway from "Jungle Love" has Stewie being disappointed by the 2005 film, prompting him to travel all the way to Hollywood just to punch Creator/WillFerrell in the face.
26* ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'': The episode "Samantha" is a crossover with the show, in which Samantha and Darrin become the Flintstones' new neighbors.
