Way better than the reboot


In every aspect!

Yeah. I didn't care as much for the satanic stuff in the reboot.

Clearly, it is not possible for us to just get light-hearted fun sitcoms anymore.

Exactly. Fun is not allowed

I totally agree. I greatly disliked the Satanic stuff, the creepy aesthetics, I didn't like the look for the new Sabrina, and the SJW/sexual stuff really turned me off when I read up on it.

It's funny that the remake is probably largely forgotten already but this one still generates some interest. I didn't think much of the actress choice for the remake either or the overly dark tone they really missed the point of who Sabrina was but then they did the same with the Archies in Riverdale. Just crap writers destroying things instead of creating something fresh.

I heard about the writer who created that horrible show on Netflix. He's a gay man (and probably a spoiled, rich, Jewish boy who got his jobs handed to him by other connected Jews in Hollywood instead of working for it) who wrote the scripts for the lousy Riverdale show we know now, but back in the early 2000s. His script ideas were rejected back then (with good reason), so he just waited a decade, got more friends, and then the CW accepted his shit work, since the 2010s became the Gays Everywhere decade and it was all the rage.

So then he writes the scripts for the new Sabrina show, though it seems he did as all the other scriptwriters still there in the LA basin did and wrote it to please the people working there instead of anyone outside of the LA basin. They wasted money on it and let his scripts get greenlighted, but honestly, his show turned a lot of normal people off, with good reason. If anything, I think the only real audience for the show was the writer himself, nobody else.

When the 90s show was being created, it was designed to appeal to a large group of people watching (pretty much anyone 12 and up), mostly through the story rather through shallow appearances. It had no religion mentioned (except briefly in passing in one episode), it was not diverse for the sake of being diverse (if someone non-white was introduced, nobody made a big deal about it), it brought in famous people in cameo roles, the stories were funny and kept you interested (at least for the first 3 seasons), the characters were fun and well-written, there was hardly anything offensive in the show (other than it being low-budget with the special-effects).

The CW pushed so much Woke content which is a shame because some of their shows in terms of the basic premise could have been ok.

Yep pre 2010 there were still a lot of TV shows and movies being made purely to entertain. Focus on stories and characters rather than ideology and Woke sermonizing.

I'm still laughing over the fact that so few people were watching the CW that it went broke and had to be sold, lol! Sadly, I have a feeling I know what happened to the "writers" (if you could really call them that) who used to work there. (This would have happened before the WGA strike), they basically went to other studios like Disney, Fox, and WB, since their network used to be called "The WB" anyway.

reply

I agree. My daughter even watched a few episodes of the reboot and couldn't get into it.

reply

Yeah, I enjoyed this one more than the newer Sabrina on Netflix

reply

The reboot was so depressing and pointlessly dark. The actress who played her lacked hot factor too.

reply

Someone also needs to tell Kiernan Shipka that when you're dyeing your hair blond, don't forget the eyebrows, and to grow it long, because long hair is considered far prettier than the short bob she was sporting. Those are two reasons Melissa Joan Hart was far prettier than Kiernan ever hopes to be.

reply

She was completely wrong for the role of what is supposed to be the average girl next door who happens to be a witch. I know Chilliing Adventures is meant to be a mockery of it all but regardless there still needs to be some consistency with the original material.

reply

Yeah, loved this show too. I understand why some people like the reboot, but personally I dislike when they take something like this, which was lighthearted and cute, and darken it without keeping anything from the original that made it so great.
