Sabrina's Time Ball Goes Missing!

[@averymerrick]

On November 7, 1997, all four TGIF shows that night had a storyline (TGIF Time Machine, "Time Goes Insane Friday") in which Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch (voiced by Nick Bakay) caused the characters in each show to travel back to a different point in time - *the result of the warlock-turned-anthropomorphic cat having swallowed a "time ball".*

You know what's crazy here: "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" is actually based on characters from the Archie Comics which came out in the 1960s.

[@mariaskabardonis8353]

I loved this episode and the boy meets world 40s episode it shows the good and bad of the 60s

[@RaySchwarz.]

The only thing wrong with the "Boy Meets World" episode is the time continuum. At the beginning of the episode it was December 1941 and the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor and by the end of the episode it was 1945 and the war ended. How does four years go by all in a matter of 30 minutes not to mention one U.S. President dying (FDR) while in office and his Vice President (Truman) succeeding him?

[@RaySchwarz.]

@@mariaskabardonis8353 4 years over 30 minutes? Didn’t seem like it. Crazy how they just glossed over the fact that FDR died while in his fourth term in the midst of a war and how Truman had to become president and drop the atom bomb. Nothing like Disney to romanticize and whitewash the past.

Sabrina is so stressed for someone that can live for literals centuries, maybe forever.

[@mechadoggy]

Hmm, as a half mortal, can she even live for centuries to begin with? Or maybe she gets to choose a mortal life with Harvey, just like how Arwen Undomiel chose to be mortal with Aragorn

[@efaristi9737]

@@mechadoggy It's not lotr XD I remember when Sabrina wanted to get a piercing or a tatoo, her aunts told her she was "built for the long haul" (I think that's the word) and that she had to think long term. That does implied she is going to live longer than a mortal at least.

[@mariaskabardonis8353]

She’s a teenager who hasen’t comprehended the passage of time plus I don’t think she wants to pull an Edward Collin and be in high school forever lol. She wants to get high school and college over with

Peace out Sabrina! 🐈‍⬛✌️☮️

[@firxanza5172]

Sabrina actually enjoyed the 60's till she realized that women had little to no rights in that time period she couldn't apply to college, since only men could get into college in that time period

[@jimbearone]

People in those times did not even know what those terms meant. This representation of the 1960’s comes from the minds of people who were not even alive in the 1970’s.

[@pumpkincat4594]

This show was made in the 90s, Im sure there was at least SOMEONE in their 40s working on this show lol

[@jimbearone]

@@pumpkincat4594 l was Born in 1961 and the “1960s” represented here actually occurred between 1965 and 1975 so I am well aware of how things were during that period. What you saw was what the media - Television, Magazines and Newspapers put out about the youth counterculture which was primarily in large metropolitan cities like San Francisco, Boston, Chicago and parts of New York these were the kids of High Society for the most part or disenchanted upper middle class kids. Being in a smaller suburb near a major city ( San Francisco ) means I saw DIRECTLY how most of the youth dressed and thought and it was not represented in this episode and absolutely NO ADULTS of that time ( Hilda and Zelda ) would have looked or behaved that way, as I said elsewhere, most people still looked, acted and dressed like the 1940’s or 1950’s. This was an Exaggeration of 1960’s culture which quickly evolved into the Disco Era.

[@pumpkincat4594]

@@jimbearone An exaggeration was kinda the point but I get your general point, its just weird that if that wasnt accurate no one pointed it out

[@jwoolman5]

@@jimbearone- yes, all that was something very financially comfortable people could do. Not the rest of us.

[@VinnieMack]

I literally forgot this episode lol

[@UMBR.]

That's because it happened in the 60s, before you were born.

Aah, Hollywoods 30 year cycle 🤗

[@MisterMarin]

Spoiler alert: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Salem ate it because it smells like insolence. O'Neill: No, tuna. Me: No, sardines. Uh, sorry about that. I had a Stargate moment. 😛

[@stephensheridan1279]

That’s wrong! It’s spelled with TWO ‘L’s! The O’Neil with ONE L is too serious!

[@MisterMarin]

@@stephensheridan1279You're right. How on Chulak did I miss that? 🙂

[@LesbianDrag0n713]

O’Neill is the best I love watching humour compilations of him on KZbin so many amazing one liners and his delivery is always spot on

[@KyleTriola]

It might be just me but when watching this episode at first Sabrina is perfectly happy about living in the 60's cause of the reasons she gives in the episode but as soon as she finds out that women had little to no rights in that decade she then wants to come back to the 90's.

On one hand the fashion and music would be fun to experience, but on the other hand you'd have to deal with racism, sexism and homophobia. Hmmm

[@jimbearone]

People in those times did not even know what those terms meant. This representation of the 1960’s comes from the minds of people who were not even alive in the 1970’s. The magazines, newspapers and Television news focused on 1960’s “Counterculture” and made it look Twenty Times more prevalent than it really was THE MAJORITY of the country still looked and acted more like the 1940’s to 1950’s only major cities had even a small percentage of counterculture misfits.

[@mariaskabardonis8353]

It’s also magic and magic exaggerates things fun fact when this show aired in the 90s. It showed Salem also going to 4 other shows and them changing time periods you had Boy Meets World go to the 40s this other show Teen Angel that was canceled in a season go to the 70s and a other I think called you Wish go to the 50s it was a fun Friday night seeing all those shows cross over. I wish Hulu or Paramount would put episodes of Teen Angel or You Wish on their platform but with the way they like to disappear current shoes I doubt it

[@pantherz9103]

It’s not like those ism’s have gone extinct even today

[@PhoenixsArt]

At least women were actual women and did not have to share spaces with cosplaying dudes.

[@jwoolman5]

I was in high school in the 1960s and it wasn't anything like that.... Sorry.
