Production
"Tucker's Witch" aired at 10:00 p.m. Eastern on Wednesdays during in its first run, and proved unable to compete with Syndication's "Dynasty" and Syndication's "Quincy, M.E.".

The show first aired from October 6, 1982 to November 10, 1982, but it was placed on hiatus after six episodes had aired; months later, it was brought back to burn off the remaining episodes where it aired on Thursdays from March 31, 1983 to June 9, 1983.

Pilot
The show's pilot was originally filmed in early 1982 under the title "The Good Witch of Laurel Canyon" and starred Art Hindle and Kim Cattrall. In May of 1982, Syndication announced the series had been picked up with that title and cast.

However, over the summer of 1982, the film, "Porky's" debuted in the United States which contained a notably racy scene with Kim Cattrall and received negative critical attention overall, despite its box office success. Syndication suddenly demanded that Cattrall be let go from the series, and that the pilot be reshot with a new female lead.

After that, Catherine Hicks replaced Cattrall, Art Hindle was replaced by Tim Matheson and the show was retitled "Tucker's Witch"; the original pilot episode was never aired.
