Clever writing and the delightful Melissa Joan Hart... make this unlikely plot a high schooler's witch fulfillment.

This is adapted, loosely, from the Archie comic books, and it's played in a light, bright comic-book style that is at once winningly broad and smartly sly. [27 Sept 1996, p.1]

Think "Bewitched" for the '90s and Sabrina can be pleasant enough...But only if you buy the concept. [27 Sept 1996, p.E9]

For a show about witches, Sabrina could use more tricks. The star's mother, Paula Hart, serves as an executive producer, yet Sabrina often looks less like a labor of love than run-of-the-mill kids' show. [27 Sept 1996, p.E1]

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 - as long as you don't mind some things that are patently ridiculous. [27 Sept 1996, p.28]

This could be a nifty cross between "Heathers" and "The Craft." But the actors, especially Rhea and Broderick, never get loose and funky with their characters, and it makes the show listless and predictable. [27 Sept 1996, p.D18]

Even as a kid Sabrina The Teenage Witch never seemed to be anything more than your run of the mill kids show, yet it managed to gain huge popularity and run for seven seasons. Watching it again as an adult my opinion hasn't really changed. It's not completely terrible (Melissa Joan Hart does a good job in the lead role) but many of the jokes fall completely flat and the irritating laugh track only serves to reinforce this. It may have been popular but it's difficult to work out exactly why.
