Being a teenager is always difficult, but imagine how complicated things must be for a teenage witch trying to fit in at a mortal high school. In this first (1996) season of CBS Television's live-action Sabrina The Teenage Witch series, Sabrina's aunts Zelda and Hilda have provided their niece with a happy, relatively normal life following the divorce of her parents, but her 16th birthday brings a big surprise--it turns out that her aunts are witches who have known all along that Sabrina is half mortal and half witch. Now that she's turning 16, Sabrina suddenly finds herself in the possession of special powers which she must develop and learn to control. Even Sabrina's cat Salem turns out to be a witch imprisoned in a cat's body. After the initial shock and denial wear off, Sabrina discovers that there are some definite benefits to being able to turn back time and cast the occasional spell on her classmates. Essentially your typical teenager, Sabrina struggles with popularity, labels, and love along a journey toward personal growth and an understanding of the value of rules, the importance of self-esteem, and the universality of guilt and making mistakes. Sometimes magic eases Sabrina's way, while other times it seems only to complicate things. Whether hanging out in the world of high school and American suburbia, the red planet Mars, or the surreal Pleasure dome where a witch can have absolutely anything she wants, Sabrina is really just an average teenage witch struggling through adolescence. (Ages 8 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

This tv series is awesome. I watched it years ago and was thrilled to find out that they were putting it out on DVD. I can't wait for the remaining episodes. : )
The Magic Begins July 28, 2008

Sabrina Spellman's (Melissa Joan Hart) life is changing. She's just moved in with her aunts Hilda (Caroline Rhea) and Zelda (Beth Broderick) and is starting a new school.
But that's not all. On her sixteenth birthday, Sabrina learns that she is a witch who is just starting to get her powers. So not only does she need to fit in at school, but she needs to hide her powers for fear of being labeled a freak. And there's the fact that their cat Salem talks (voiced by Nick Bakay).
On her first day of school, she quickly makes friends with idealistic Jenny (Michelle Beaudoin) and develops a crush on Harvey (Nate Richert). Unfortunately, she also draws the distain of head cheerleader Libby (Jenna Leigh Green). And she has to survive biology with Mr. Poole (Paul Feig).
This school year will be anything but easy as she turns Libby into a pineapple, learns that messing with her friends lives can cause terrible things to happen, makes a magician invisible, gets trapped in a mirror of her own bad mood, turns Harvey into a frog when they kiss, and faces her own worst fear when Libby accuses her of being a witch while on a field trip to Salem, Massachusetts. Who ever said being a witch was easy?
I actually started watching this show with season two, but have caught season one multiple times in reruns. Maybe it's because I started later, but I've never found this to be one of my favorite seasons. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of laughs. But it just seems a bit like the show is still finding its feet. Of course, that is pretty normal for many shows in their first year.
This show definitely falls into the fantasy category, and it creates its magical world well. I do laugh quite a bit at the situations Sabrina gets into over the course of the season. The acting is good. Most of the special effects work, although a few are a little obvious, especially the puppet version of Salem in the early episodes.
This set contains all 24 episodes from the season on four discs. There are no bonus features, although the full frame picture and stereo sound look and sound great.
There isn't anything serious about this show, but it isn't trying to be serious. Instead, you'll get a funny show set in a creative fantasy world.
ah yes. brings me back to the good ole days June 8, 2008

I regret to say that I didn't buy these DVDs sooner (still haven't but I'm planning on it!) I actually didn't even really think about it until today, when I was flipping through the channels on TV, and I came across an episode of Sabrina on ABC Family. My sister was the original fan of the series (although she no longer is; she now feels the show is stupid ) but I still can't help but love the series. Sure its not one of my favorites anymore, but it was back in the day when it was airing originally, and its one of those TV shows that brings me back to my childhood. I remember watching it every Friday night with my sister, on TGIF, along with Boy Meet World and whatever else had been on.
It'll be fun revisiting each of these episodes, seeing as how I haven't seen so many of them in so long.
The only thing I'm disappointed about is that, from what I read, the episodes on this season are edited or something? Hm. I guess its a good thing that I don't remember all the episodes and what they contain ;)
