    The fact that I have a copy of Sabrina goes to Rome (I don't know where it came from, for some reason it's just been in an old hard drive we have since I was a kid) makes me feel special now that I'm finding out it's hard to find😅 It's also my intro to the world of Sabrina and shockingly I didn't even realize that there's so many characters just interchanging😂

    I’m very impressed this was only your second video, you sound like you’ve been doing it for a while! This video was a fun trip down memory lane; I grew up with the sitcom and your video reopened the memories I had of played the spellbound video game and I owned a few books (can’t remember which ones though!) and I never finished chilling adventures but it was fun to see how much actually relates to the past comic history. Subscribed - hope to see more of your work in the future!

    I remember when during late at night Sabrina: Secrets of a Witch would be on Cartoon Network during late nights, it was honestly a pretty decent show, I was pretty much a toddler at the time so it is kind of nostalgic to me. Our school library also had most of the Archie comics and the ones where Sabrina was included and I'd say her character impacted my current fashion choices a lot. Cool stuff :>>

    I mad appreciate this in-depth look at the franchise. I always admired the sitcom show as a kid when it was airing and I had a MAD KICK for it a chunk of years ago and did an official rewatch. Yes seasons 5-7 sucked. They lacked ALL the charm the first few seasons had-teenage-dom, magic, and it was just…eck boring. Plus I wasn’t a fan of Sabrina having her drama with all her new bfs (Josh, Aaron, etc) Plus I LOVE how you mentioned that the lack of men-dominance in rhis show appealed to young queer girls like us??? Never thought of it that way!!! FUN FACT!!! When I was a little kid I was like “I want a black cat named Salem too just like the show!” Fast forward 20 years a stray black cat walks up to me off the streets and imprinted on me. My mom said, “that’s your Salem you always wanted!!!” Had to be INTENSE lesbian energy that I manifested THAT and he chose me to be the “familiar” of!!!

    Part 1 of CAOS was really good and I thought the show had so much potential but then the plot just started speeding through things and it felt like nothing ever got a chance to have any real development before it was on to the next thing, especially as they always built it up as "omg this is a BIG deal" and then its just not.

    It was a good retrospective on Sabrina history, the sitcom will always have a special part in my nostalgia memory, didn't watched entirely chilling adventure but i loved the crossover part with the sitcom, ross lynch/harvey is most famous for his role in austin and ally, the sabrina multiverse is real, funny that nick scratch is also the name of marvel witch agatha harkness son, i wish the next iteration of sabrina will once again be a live like comedy with laughter and all.

    As a kid, I LOVED both animated sabrina the teenage witch series (the theme song is a bop and I’ll die on that hill) and the Hub network Sabrina! It played in between episodes of My little pony so I remember it pretty fondly. The art style was really unique. My local library had a copy of the made for tv movie for the earlier animated series and I think I rewatched it 100x. The villian Cassandra and Sabrina’s half-witch best friend were really interesting characters and I wish we got to see more of them :o(

    I had such high hopes for Chilling adventures! I so badly wanted a dark re-interpretation of my favourite show to knock my socks off. There was so much potential, so many cool stories to evolve. And it was extremely mid. Poorly written, boring characters, and it was just barely watchable. I'll go back to writing my fan-fics instead.
