Following in the footsteps of "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Bewitched", this
supernatural sitcom for the 90s has a new twist: the title character is
a typical teenager. In addition to all the normal trials of being in
high school, Sabrina has to deal with her budding abilities as a
sorceress. Unfortunately, she hasn't quite got the knack, and everything
seems to backfire on her. She lives with her eccentric aunts and Salem,
a warlock who was changed into a cat long ago as a punishment for bad
behavior. These wacky members of her family are the only ones she can
turn to when her spells backfire. No one else can explain why so many
strange things seem to happen when she's around.
Her school
life is mainly centered around her best friend Valerie, her boyfriend
Harvey, and her aunt's beau, the antagonistic Principal Kraft. When her
high school woes meet her magic wand, no one knows just what might
happen. Add to that two other witches and a four-footed warlock sharing
her house, and the results are hilariously disastrous. From transforming
a baby into a 60-year-old man to resurrecting long-dead American heroes
and breaking and entering someone else's dreams to switching bodies,
there's always something incredible happening.
As sit-coms go,
this show's not bad. It's utterly ludicrous, but that's most of the fun.
So tune in to TGIF some Friday night and sit back and enjoy the show.
Just remember: do not try this at home!
