Amanda Tucker - Apprentice witch (Catherine Hicks)
who uses her clairvoyant skills and supernatural spells (which sometimes went
awry) to help solve crimes on the detective drama TUCKER'S WITCH/CBS/1982-83.
Amanda and her detective husband, Rick Tucker (Tim Matheson) live on a farm in
Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles with a Himalayan cat named Dickens (with whom
Amanda communicates telepathically) and a goat named Myra.
Together, the Tucker's operate the Tucker & Tucker, Inc. detective agency. Their
business office (555-6111) is located on 7000 Vista Del Mar Drive in Los
Angeles. Marcia Fulbright is the firm's secretary. Amanda's mobile car phone
number is 555-8734. Her home phone is 555-4616. The Tucker's first case involved
the high-rise elevator murders of three women of which Amanda saw in her dreams.
Amanda's mother, Ellen Hobbes, who lives with Amanda on her farm, occasionally
helped out her daughter on a case. Although Ellen was born into a family of
witches, she is not a witch herself because such powers skip every tenth
generation. Her daughter, Amanda, however was the first in the next cycle, so
she inherited the abilities of a witch. Abilities that Amanda had not yet
perfected.

TRIVIA NOTE: Amanda named her cat "Dickens" after
her favorite writer, English author Charles Dickens. Kim Cattrall (late of Sex
in the City fame) played the role of Amanda in the unaired pilot for the series
which was originally titled "The Good Witch of Laurel Canyon." Art Hindle played
the role of Rick Tucker. The show's theme song was composed by Brad Fiedel.
