TGIF, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and the Andi's Scale

Have you heard of TGIF?!

Well, growing up in the 90s, I grew up watching a ton of great shows on TGIF on ABC.  TGIF took place every Friday night and it was my favorite night of the week. I can think back and easily remember being at school on Fridays and looking forward to coming home and hanging out with my family while watching TGIF. 

Full House, Step by Step, Boy Meets World, Family Matters and Sabrina the Teenage Witch were some of the shows that made the TGIF line up at one point during the 11 years that the original TGIF aired on ABC.

And I love, love, love all five of these shows. In my opinion, TGIF had the best television shows that I don’t think any other line up could ever compare to. 

For my birthday in July, I received all 7 seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. So obviously, I have been watching it every time I’m home. This is the first time I really watched the show since I was a kid when it was on TGIF. It almost feels like I’m watching a brand new show since I can barely remember all the episodes in the series.

Now that I’m in season 6 and there is only 1 more season to go, I feel it to be a good time to write about it.  The show is all about Sabrina…the teenage witch who goes to live with her two aunts (who are also witches) in a mortal realm.  Since she is half mortal and half witch and her parents are no longer together, she stays with her aunts to learn about her family full of witches and the fact that she is a witch herself. 

She starts the series as a 16 year old learning that she is not exactly who she thinks she is and by the 6th season, (which I’m currently watching) she is a college student balancing out her witchcraft and her mortal friends without allowing her closest friends to know who she really is. 

The 6th episode in the 5th season was one of my favorites. It is titled “The Halloween Theme.” In this episode, Sabrina wants to throw a Halloween party for her friends who aren’t into the holiday. Her party makes history as she invites all different classic monsters from the other realm. By the end of the episode, Sabrina even has to counsel Frankenstein and his bride. Watch the episode below.

On IMDb, Sabrina the Teenage Witch has a rating of 6.1 out of 10. I feel it to be fitting to do a rating scale of my own.

We’re going to call my rating scale...the Andi’s Scale. (My nickname is Andi, making it fitting to be called the Andi’s Scale.) Each show will be rated by me and can receive between 1 to 5 Andi’s. 5 Andi’s means that I’ve enjoyed every minute of the show and can’t wait to watch it again. If a show receives 1 Andi then that simply means that its not a favorite and I most definitely won’t be buying it on DVD!

Therefore, Sabrina the Teenage Witch receives 4 Andi’s! 

I love the show, I own the show, I grew up on the show...it has great actors and a plot that keeps me entertained, its very well deserving of 4 Andi’s. I would recommend the show especially to people who grew up on TGIF because it really does bring back some great memories.
