I loved watching Sabrina as a kid although I never did get to see every episode so I decided to watch it all from beginning to end and I am pleased to say it didn't lose any of it's magic now that I'm an adult.
Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina) is fantastic and brings comedy to the show. Her quick exits, 'gotta go' and 'woo hoo' are just some of the things that make her character so lovable.
The big problem I did have was there were too many disappearing characters which were always so easily dismissed. Jenny? Valerie? Miles? Josh? Zelda in the last season???
There seemed to be a common theme among most of the mortal characters of all 7 seasons that they were 'dense' (how Sabrina often described some characters) which I assume is to make it more believable that so much magic can go unnoticed around them. It could also be because (in my opinion) Sabrina seems to think she is superior, a straight A student, deserving of the best - therefore surrounding herself with mortals which feed her ego.
I must admit, while I still enjoyed the seasons after Sabrina left high school, it just wasn't the same and Josh and Sabrina didn't really work for me. I suppose Sabrina being a teenager was key for the show and maybe didn't work so well when she became an adult with a job and responsibilities.
I was however very happy with the ending although I would like to have seen more of Harvey. Sabrina and Harvey's relationship was the very essence of the show and I was constantly checking IMDb to see how many episodes Harvey would be in each season and when he would next be on.
I almost cried when it ended but mainly for myself, that's a chapter of my childhood finally complete.
Woo hoo!
score 10/10
