I was able to watch all 65 episodes of this show as an adult. I remember when this was on back in 1999-2000 and it was a very cute show. I was somewhat a fan of the sitcom but since I was a kid animation was what I was most drawn towards.
Reviewing the show today I would say that this was amazing for its time. I love the graphics for today but I do have a few things that wasn't clarified in the show exactly. I will start with Aunt Hilda and Aunt Zelda. Hilda and Zelda's character names could've been switched around it would have been a better fit. I did not like the character voice for Hilda..just did not care for the accent. I did not like the choice in style of clothing for Zelda. Hilda's clothing resembled the outfit of the time. For the aunt's to be 16 in mortal world as referred to on the show, Aunt Hilda looked 25-30 and Zelda looked 35-40 even though as witches they are 600 years old.
The slight mystery behind her parents were covered decently. We did get to see what her mother looked like since she is mortal and her father is the one who is the warlock. Not making the mother a witch was actually a good thing but I am not clear on why her father wasn't around much. Uncle Quigley is another person in question. Is he just Sabrina's uncle because he possesses no magical abilities whatsoever. Now on to Salem the Cat, his sarcasm and loyalty to Sabrina is something that adds to the show he brings comedy to each episode. The mystery in hiding what he looked like before being turned into a cat.... I guess keeps the mystery of what the show is really about. The side characters were the typical grade school type with the Harvey, Pi, Slugloaf, best friend Chloe and Gemini "Gem" Stone and her cheerleader lackeys. Gem's character never really transitioned well no one's character truly made a shift from worst to better or vice versa.
The show's overall layout was very fitting, most of the episodes centered around a Friday evening or the weekend. We did see them at school often but all the scenarios were interesting and fun between the mortal world and the netherworld. It was a cool idea to have her bff Chloe go around on adventures with her and she did not have to hide being a half-witch from everyone in her life except Harvey and the few other kids around her. The show was a nice show and it makes a good binge-able cartoon to watch and have that Saturday morning feel.
