message: Should anything be added about recurring guest actors? There are many actors who appear frequently, especially as clients and clients' spouses, but never as the same character (Sara Seegar, Parley Baer, Charles Lane, J. Edward McKinley, etc., check out the cast list on IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057733/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast). Some of them appeared much more than the characters in this article's "Recurring Characters" section. Mupept (talk) 03:16, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Recurring guest actors

message: I used to love this show as a teenager :-). There wasn't a huge amount of magic, and it was often subtle, although I'm sure I remember Samantha turning into a cat at some point. It's surprising that the article doesn't contain any examples of the magic/effects used in the show as they were a significant element of its appeal.Stub Mandrel (talk) 15:56, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Magic? 

message: This article gives well-deserved kudos to some of the show's progressivism. In addition to the elements mentioned (strong and assertive female characters, pro-LGBTQ elements, and anti-racism episodes) there were other, more subtle progressive elements. There are, for instance, several early episodes in which African-Americans portray well-dressed, well-spoken, seemingly professional characters, at a time when Blacks were either invisible or depicted in servile roles on other programs.

thread_title:  Cultural context 

message: There have been some questions regarding the dates the series was aired, specifically the final date of March 25, 1972 being a Saturday.  Yes, March 25, 1972 was a Saturday, and that is the correct date for the last episode (with repeats continuing on Saturday nights until July 1972).  The series was moved to Saturday for the last half of the final season (so all of 1972's air dates except the first in January) to air opposite All In The Family.  There have been repeated attempts to change this to March 24 because that was a Friday; but the show never aired on Friday.  It was aired on Thursday nights until 1971. At the start of the final season in 1971, it aired on Wednesday nights, moving to Saturday nights for the last half of its final season (in January 1972). The McNeil source now cites this in the lead, and is included below for reference. ButlerBlog (talk) 20:32, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Series run dates 

message: There is some text in the article indicating the setting of the show as the Stephenses' house.  This has been subject to somewhat frequent changes by well-meaning editors thinking that the spelling is incorrect (even though there is a comment in the text indicating that it is not).  When a proper noun ends in "s", the plural possessive is "es" + apostrophe: Stephenses’.  It is not Stephens’.  Such a spelling would indicate only one Stephens.
* Mr. Stephens has a wife.
* Mr. Stephens' wife is Mrs. Stephens.
* The Stephenses, meaning Mr. and Mrs. Stephens, live in a house.
* The Stephenses' house belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Stephens.
