Starring: Melissa Joan Hart, Nick Bakay, Beth Broderick, Caroline Rhea
Continuity mistake: In the first episode Sabrina can't see her mom or she will turn into a ball of wax for the next two years. Then she can't until she gets her witch's licence. Then she never can.
Suggested correction: She was punished, remember?
Other mistake: In this episode, the Spellmens and Salem are sitting at the breakfast table. You can see Sabrina has a stack of pancakes in front of her. But in the episode Pancake Madness, they are forbidden in the Spellman home because of the effects that come from them.
Suggested correction: In the pilot, Sabrina is not a full witch so the pancakes probably had no effect on her. Besides, since she didn't know she was a witch yet, it would be hard for her aunts to justify not letting her have pancakes.
But why were they on the table in first place then?
Hilda: I just haven't turned myself into wind in years.
Salem: Would cabbage help?
Trivia: After modeling in underwear in an issue of Maxim magazine to promote "Drive Me Crazy", Archie Comics threatened to sue Melissa Joan Hart for breach of contract and to fire her from the show, as her contract stated she could never portray Sabrina naked, and the name "Sabrina" was printed on the cover of the magazine. Hart was able to make the situation go away simply by writing an apology letter.
Question: Does Salem ever become human again?
Answer: In the S6 E18, "I, Busybody" Salem got permission from the Witch's Council to be human for one day to meet his pen pal, Roxie. It was all a point of view camera shot.
Chosen answer: No. In the show he was sentenced to 100 years as a cat and only served 25 years at the time of the pilot (all episodes of him being human are flashbacks). The comics did several retcons to change Salem's backstory to fit the show's, and as of 2015, he was still a cat.
