What's your least favorite episode? I rarely watch SABRINA now, but I remember a semi-recent one where she is at a circus or something & some juggler gives her advice on a spell.
Awful!
And Of course the earliest episodes & the Aunt Vesta one are all terrible. That wammi fammy piece of garbage ... oh God...

There just hasn't been a lot of good episodes this whole season. With the aunts leaving, it just is missin something.

I do not have any least favorite episodes.

trekkie · 08-14-2003, 12:25 AM

Even the final episodes without the aunts? I tell 'ya ... I was literally bored out of my mind during that circus episode. It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow; and it really showed how much of a B sitcom actress Melissa Joan Hart is.

I loved the one with Aunt Vesta. She was a good character and the Pleasure Dome was awesome.

My least favourire episode is Beach Blanet Blingo (or whatever) because it has that beyond cheesy singing crap in it and the 60s thing was just dumb. I also didn't like "Driving Mr Goodman" and "The Competition" either.

The Aunt vesta one was alright, but that whammy fammy stuff is just plain garbage. I mean, which writer risked his/her own reputation for that one?

Berlin · 09-12-2003, 09:38 AM

Oh yeah the wammy fammy stuff was dumb, not gonna disagree with you there. They used that "song" in a couple of first season episodes. Why I'll never know.

trekkie · 09-12-2003, 11:41 PM

The writers were probably rushed; they couldn't secure rights to any mainstream songs; there ya go

LOL. I think Nick Bakay (the voice of Salem) wrote that episode. I agree, that episode was downright painful to watch!

Here are the WORST episodes of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," in my opinion:

1.) "Pancake Madness." [season 3.] This was the episode where Sabrina got addicted to pancakes. The jokes and writing were too juvenile for my liking.

2.) "Boy, Was My Face Red" [season 3.] This was the episode where Valerie burped in front of a guy, so Sabrina put an "anti-embarrasment" spell on her.

3.) "Sabrina's Real World" [season 3.] This was the episode where Sabrina got her own other-realm reality show. This was downright PAINFUL to watch.

4.) "Dante's Inferno." [season 2] The episode where Sabrina goes out with a mortal-hating witch named Dante.

-- In a nutshell, those are my least favorite episodes.

trekkie · 10-08-2003, 04:45 PM

Oh yeah ... that pancake song is about as good as that whammy fammy crap LOL

Along with the final season, I also must add the very earliest episodes to the list.

My problem with Sabrina is that the show was too tame. It's not until the college years that we first hear the first swear word; and it isn't even a real swear. It's "Hell."

If Sabrina was in the '80's or before, it'd be considered the norm not to use minor words like "damn" or "Hell." But now, a mainstream sitcom being so tame is just strange.

Hell ... even "Cosby" uses "damn" once in a while

I know. But it wasn't really the show's fault. Melissa Joan Hart and company wanted to do shows with more "adult" topics, but Archie Comics (which owns the rights to the "Sabrina" character,) wouldn't let them.

That's why I prefer the WB years to the ABC ones - the show became a bit spicier when it jumped networks (the Zelda as "Mrs. Robinson" segment, anyone?)

trekkie · 10-08-2003, 08:43 PM

Oh yeah, that makes sense. It completely slipped my mind that Archie owns the rights; and it'd only make sense that a children's comic book wouldn't wanna risk its reputation.

I admit ... the show does get loads better when Sabrina moves to college; the Aunts aren't as funny, but the show as a whole matures sooooooooooooo much.

Until both Aunts leave. Then it just gets stupid and boring. Although Melissa Joan Hart is the star, she isn't one of the best. The Aunts are the ones that really carry the show.

dupton · 10-27-2003, 05:41 AM

Worst episode..... probably either Magic Joel or My Nightmare, The Car.

I liked that they stayed away from swearing. Even minor swear words can be bothersome if they're used too much. That's one thing I didn't like about the last season. Also, keep in mind the word "b****in'" was on the show in the second season. It was in the lyrics to a song. I don't remember the song, but the episode was "Witch Trash."

As for my least favorite episodes. Hmmmm. I never cared much for "House of Pi's." Even though, I'm a fan of Natalia Cilguiti, who appeared in that ep, the rest of it was kind of dull, well except for Salem trying to appear in Hilda's show. Lol. And I was never that into the last season eps. Especially, "Spellmanian Slip." I thought that one was dumb, though I liked the harmony dance.
