Spoiler space....

I was surprised to see the season four premiere on SMTV before it starts
on Nickelodeon on Monday but I wasn't complaining.

There are a lot of changes which will take time to get used to.. no
Valerie (which means Sabrina has no best friend anymore), no Libby
(sadly!!), new opening titles (they obviously ran out of ideas), Kraft
is now Principal and Harvey has a new friend. I don't know if these
changes are a good or a bad thing.

I'll slide over the whole Britney Spears thing by saying she was there.

Not a brilliant episode but at least Salem was on top form.

As well as, or instead of, Sabrina?

Sorry - thought this was a place to discuss and debate shows. I'm more than
happy for you to put forward those US shows you dislike, and I will give you
a list of reasons why I think Sabrina is poor TV. And no, I haven't just
seen one ep and thought this is crap, no more - I have seen a few, and all
are as terrible as each other.

Why is it that you think the show is worthy of repeat viewing ? Educate
me...

A new character will be introduced who is supposed to fill the "best
friend" role, but she never really does . . .

There is an actual plot reason behind it . . . a kind of silly plot
reason, but this is Sabrina . . .

IMHO, they turn out to be "change for change sake" and don't add up to
much in the long run . . .

It is, though that seemed to have been temporarily forgotten. :)

Technically, you cannot repeat-view an episode that you've never seen
before. :)

Oh right, now I see - this is the reason people are not prepared to start a
proper discussion on this forum - picky, pedantic, anally-retentive comments
kill everything stone dead.

You got it! :)

Actually though, this NG has been more active in the past month or two
than it has been for a long while. At best it gets 20-30 posts a day,
but it has been down to just 1 or 2.
