Storyline

Sabrina Spellman, a perfectly normal 16-year-old, is informed by her aunts, Hilda and Zelda, that she (and they, and her whole family on her father's side) are witches. She lives with them in Massachusetts while preparing to receive her witch's license. Along the way, she gets into many scrapes while figuring out how certain spells work. She also has to keep the secret from her boyfriend, Harvey, friends Jenny and later Valerie, stuck-up nemesis Libby, and her ever-suspicious vice-principal, Mr. Kraft.

User Reviews

Great fun!

"Sabrina the Teenage Witch" is an amusing television series focussing on the trials and tribulations of, obviously, teenage witch Sabrina. Sabrina lives with her two (witch) aunts and her talking cat Salem, and in the show she humorously tries to balance her magical life out with her regular one, trying to avoid disasters. I really enjoyed this show. It's a bit silly at times, but overall it is genuinely funny. There is some great chemistry between the two aunts Hilda and Zelda, the cat looks fake but is still very funny, and Sabrina's boyfriend Harvey is very nice. Melissa Joan Hart is engaging and likable as Sabrina. The episodes are fairly short but fairly tightly written, and the special effects aren't very fancy but I still found them suitable. I highly recommend this show.
