Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Promotes positive behavior, respect toward adults, and taking responsibility for one's actions. Anti-social behavior has negative consequences. Some stereotypes are presented, such as the snobby popular cheerleader.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Some limited mild slapstick violence, without negative results.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Simple kissing and boy/girl social dynamics. Later episodes contain some very light sexual innuendos about female body parts.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    No product tie-ins or placements. Music featured in the show is compiled into a CD.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Sabrina, the Teenage Witch

Parents need to know that this series presents witchcraft and wizardry as an everyday part of life. Also, Sabrina's behavior is sometimes sneaky when she tries to do things without others knowing about them. The problems Sabrina faces are rather innocent in nature, but as she gets older they become more mature, even though they're still highly sanitized. Adolescent kissing is present but not prevalent.

    This is my favorite show in the world! There is some mild innuendo said by the witch-turned-cat, but other than that it is a great watch! I agree with CSM--8 and up!

    Great Show

    When i fist saw the show on my tv guide i thought that i wasnt going to like it. I happened to catch it on one day and since then i watched every show i could watch. My favorite character is sabrina because she is just like a normal teenage girl except for the fact that she is a witch. This is a totaly cool show and you must watch trust me you wont want to miss it
