Sabrina Spellman is a teenager with magical powers who comes from a long line of witches. Until going away to college, she lived with her wacky aunts, who would teach her to use her witchcraft wisely, and Salem, the talking black cat, who always has a scheme up his paw. As a high-school student, Sabrina is less judicious about using her powers than when she enters adulthood. The series is based on a 1960s comic-book series of the same name and an animated TV series that originally aired in the 1970s.

The show would fit snugly into the Saturday-morning lineup. Go to Full Review Phil Kloer Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sep 4, 2026
At least it's not smarmy in its view of adolescent girls, as so many sitcoms are. Neither is it funny or well-made. Go to Full Review Henry Mietkiewicz Toronto Star Sep 4, 2026
Hart's engaging style should help snag young viewers and maybe even a few adults. Go to Full Review Robert Bianco Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Sep 4, 2026
"Sabrina" isn't designed to appeal to adults, and isn't likely to do so. But if you're looking for family entertainment to watch with your kids, you should be able to sit through "Sabrina" fairly easily... Go to Full Review William Leith Observer (UK) Sep 4, 2026
Here, there's another election for class president, and a bit of waspish schoolgirl humour of the "There's nothing like losing to say you're a loser" type. Go to Full Review Tony Purnell Daily Mirror (UK) Sep 4, 2026
She is far too sugary for British taste with her long blonde hair and sickly toothpaste smile. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kelly H @RT44088900 Sep 9, 2026 A childhood favourite that never gets old esp Salem the cat See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Oct 5, 2025 A smart teen show with magic and a talking cat, Sabrina the Teenage Witch won our hearts and went on to be a 90s TGIF staple. See more Mar 22, 2022 90's nostalgia sitcom with a teenage witch. I admit I am only watching this because I loved watching the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. If the CAOS is like going to the prom with the prom queen and sleeping with her, then this show is going by yourself and ending up with your hand. Not as satisfying but still gets the job done which is to entertain you. The tones are totally different and besides both being teenage witches with magic, they both almost have nothing else in common which I suppose is a good thing since you're not retreading the same stories and boy are the stories different. It's more interesting then Degrassi Junior High, so if you like that, then give this a go. See more Oct 28, 2019 I love Sabrina The Teenage Witch because it follows the comics' personality of comedy and magic! I love this show so much!
