TV: Sabrina the Teenage Witch


Stars: ***
Accuracy: *


Synopsis: Sabrina is sixteen when she learns that she's a real witch. She lives with her aunts Zelda and Hilda. Her dad is in the foreign service and his mom is on an archaeological dig in Peru. As a witch she has quite a lot of powers but she is still getting used to them and also learning what she can't do and when she shouldn't use her powers. All this and trying to lead a normal teenage girl's life! Oh and she has a talking cat!


Review: This show is pretty funny and it's nice to pretend that you have her kind of power. To have the dishes do themselves with a point of your finger or to change your clothes just as fast. I did lose interest after a season or two though because it seemed like the same things kept happening. The storyline didn't leave much room for new plots.


Accuracy: The only thing that is similar is that some witches do spells and that some witches have a book with magic info/spells in it. Real witches can't just point a finger and make something happen (I wish!) They can't travel to another realm through a closet shortcut or create a date with man-dough. Although some real witches follow a rede/creed or other set of rules, there is no Witches Council that oversees all witches like there is in the book. So as far as accuracy goes, this book couldn't really be furthur.
