What Parents Need to Know

About Sabrina: The Animated Series

Parents need to know that this tween cartoon -- a spin-off of the live-action sitcom Sabrina, the Teenage Witch -- features similar lighthearted witch humor. Storylines focus on the trials and tribulations of being a tween: friendships, school assignments, and dealing with increasing responsibility. Many of the characters set positive examples of what it means to be a good friend.

    I rate this title iffy for age 8 and give it 2.0

    there are better shows...

    Since whatever magic Sabrina performs usually backfires, I suppose this show could be used to demonstrate that there are no easy solutions to difficult problems. But if education is what you want, keep looking.

    I rate this title off for age 13 and give it 0.0

    This show is not appropriate for children or adults

    I don't believe in magic, it is evil, the show should be cancelled, it difinitely doesn't have good morals or good standards. This program will lead children down a path of destruction and failure. I'm not going to allow my child to watch this, anyone who has good values and morals shouldn't watch it.
