This is filled with a lot of stereotypes which I don't like specifically mean and popular girls and stuff like that and the acting isn't special but the story is kind of interesting so I give it a 5/5

I absolutely fell in love with STTW when I was in junior high school. I had the soundtrack on CD, I had the books, I had the DVD sets, some episodes taped on VHS, everything (which these days leads me to believe that the show was used mainly to sell merchandise that nobody would give a damn about ten years later). Being a kid, it was my first real experience with one of the "cool" shows since the only other that aired in my small town was The Secret World of Alex Mack, which was very hokey. I guess STTW wasn't terrible for kids, but going back and watching it as an adult, it just looks like it mimicked every fad of its time in all the worst ways, all while subjecting its viewers to its sea of whiny, spoiled, immature and self-centred characters. Melissa Joan Hart especially, watching her as an adult I've realized now more than ever that she could never even act worth anything, and her character of Sabrina was a lazy, shallow and coddled brat who never seemed satisfied with anything or anyone. She was sick of her mundane life and kept complaining about it. Then she finds out she's a witch with magical powers. Then she whines and complains about how she hates being a witch and wants to be normal. All she seems to care about is her own self-image, clothes and boys. She puts down everyone, from her doting albeit eccentric aunts, to her talking cat. She's supposed to be this insecure semi-geek type girl, and yet she's just another queen bee who just happens to do all the judging and teasing of others in the privacy of her own home. She's hardly a likable character at the best of times, so for the main lead it perhaps wasn't the best way to go about it. I've gotta say that the only characters I truly liked or cared anything for were Sabrina's funny and quirky teachers, from Mr. Poole to Ms. Quick, and of course, the jerky but not entirely bad guy Mr. Kraft. The show did bring on some good guest characters too, but rarely did they make more than one appearance overall.The show's "special effects" (and I use that term lightly) have never been realistic or convincing, from a repairman with a fake raccoon tail tied to his behind, to the Salem puppet which terrified me when I initially saw the show as a kid because it looks almost like a ventriloquist's dummy (at least Salem was at least somewhat tolerable compared to Sabrina herself). To be fair though, we're talking about a comedy show, and Season 1 was when it was only just trying to get off the ground. I had hoped that it would progress as it continued but actually it got worse, especially when Sabrina entered her college years, got a bad dye job and the element of crass humour and innuendo jokes entered the picture, too. It had hit a point where it was too adult for children but too childish for adults. It became one of those types of obligatory shows that you would put on every day after school simply because there was nothing else on. So I'm honestly not surprised that it ended when it did. Its very campy performances, lame dialogue, predictable episode plots and annoying soundtrack by various 1990's pop bands of the time all seemed to drag it down to the point where it could go no further.

This American sitcom is about young witch named Sabrina. During much of the show's run, Sabrina is a high school student who lives with her two aunts, Hilda and Zelda, as well as a warlock-turned-cat named Salem. Towards the end of the series, the two aunts depart from Sabrina's life as she enters the working world.The show was originally part of ABC's Friday night "TGIF" line-up, which featured sitcoms targeted at younger audiences. Episodes of this show often featured Sabrina getting into ethical dilemmas because of situations created by her magic. The problems were usually resolved through a combination of magic and an application of morality. Sabrina's two aunts usually offered her advice as she was learning about life as well as about the rules and limitations of being a witch. Much of the show's humor came from Salem, the wise-cracking talking black cat.The show's earliest years were probably the best. During Sabrina's high school years, her interactions with her aunts were enjoyable to watch. This period during the show's history provided a nice balance between Sabrina's home life in the world of witches and her school life in the world of mortals. Once her aunts were gone, Sabrina and Salem were forced to live in secrecy in a world of mortals. Without the presence of other witches, Sabrina seemed more solitary and perhaps more lonely.This sitcom was probably the best of ABC's "TGIF" shows. It was one of the last comedy shows to be featured on "TGIF." The series remained in production beyond the end of the "TGIF" line-up, switching networks from ABC to the WB. Like a lot of "TGIF" shows, this series tended to focus more on storytelling than on in-depth character development.The series is a great family show which is always kid-friendly. The characters and the special effects are always a lot of fun. The series is recommended for the entire family.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear. I don't really watch this show. My mother does and she likes it. So I sometimes sit down and watch it as well. Again, this is a recycled premise that has been done to death (all coincidentally coming out in the 1990's). I can see an audience but it's honestly not for me.The premise for the show is that a teenage girl living with her 2 aunts and cat finds out that they're witches and the cat talks, and she will be one too. She has to keep it a secret from everyone around her and sometimes gets into adventures. It's not bad but to be honest by this point it was boring and tiresome.Now there is one thing I just HAVE to compliment on. Salem's dialogue is spot on. I haven't read the comics but I have a couple of cats and if they could talk what Salem says wouldn't be that far off what I think they'd really be saying.All the other writing however is sketchy at best. I get that it was meant to be funny but most of the time every stereotype on this show (and believe me there are a lot of them) is so over the top and exaggerated that to me it comes across more as bad writing then trying to get humour there.The acting isn't bad. I can tell that some of them were trying to pull something off with their performance but others such as Jenna Leigh Green aren't that great. Sure with some of these actors they only play one note stereotypes but they don't really look like they're trying to pull anything off, with the others I can see something.So that was Sabrina The Teenage Witch and it isn't really that great. I can see the audience behind the show and there are a few things that they do right but there are also a lot of other things that in my opinion they didn't. It's okay but it could have been a lot better than what it is.
