I loved this series. Just caught a glimpse of it online. This could revived as as a kind of new Bewitched series. Years later, I realize its so cute.

They would have to restart at zero.

Also, meh. We got three good seasons out of this. I doubt we'd get more the second time around.

I've just finished watching the series for the first time and I also thought it would be super cute as a Bewitched spin-off. I always loved Sabrina doing her magic around Harvey and in the later seasons we saw a lot less of her magic in general. A reboot, if done correctly, could have potential in my opinion.

I have big trouble seeing this show in a great reboot.

The problem is, the show itself is actually uber weak, when you think about it. The formula for the episodes was very repetitive, there was no good longer storyline going on, EVER, and it was very moral based and did not even always make sense in that.

The only thing that carries through it is the extremely charming cast - Sabrina, Salem, Harvey, the aunts, all these parts would have to be recast with people that can actually keep up with the originals.

Of course, alternatively we could get script writers with a vision and make a great show that actually has depth ... but then that would be something completely different.

If they did, it would HAVE to be better than the cartoon version on Discovery Family (pka The Hub)!!

Watch Melissa & Joey. Seriously! MJH plays the character exactly the same as she did Sabrina and the humour is very similar. You just need to pretend Sabrina grew up and became fully mortal :-)

Lol, I thought I was the only one who noticed that the character Melissa was no different from the character Sabrina. Melissa from "Melissa & Joey" is no different than adult Sabrina from season 7. The only obvious difference being that Sabrina's a witch & Melissa's not.
