Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Christmas Amnesia (1998)
I watched this show back when it aired, and I remember enjoying it. So, it's true, you can never go home again.
This incredibly long-feeling half hour had a unnecessarily complicated plot. I'm going to sum up.
I guess we'll be back later.
This incredibly long-feeling half hour had a unnecessarily complicated plot. I'm going to sum up.
- Sabrina, being a teenager, isn't feeling the whole happy-family Christmas vibe
- Her aunts decide to double down on cheesy Christmas activities
- Cue montage that starts funny and goes on too long
- Sabrina is invited to a Christmas Eve party in the magical realm
- She goes, only to find out that it's an anti-Christmas party about mocking the holiday (The fact that she doesn't seem to know anyone there doesn't make much sense either.)
- She stops them from spying on and mocking people celebrating on Earth and storms out
- Only to discover that she has inadvertently deleted the holiday entirely
- She tries to convince people to remember Christmas
- Cue montage that doesn't start funny, only goes on too long
- She finally visits Santa/Father Christmas, only to discover that he's having a nice vacation and tells her that enjoying time with family is important.
- Sabrina and her aunts end up snowed in and enjoy each other's company
- Cue montage that starts funny and goes on too long
- Sabrina says something about love of family being the most important thing anyway
- Christmas reappears! (Even though Sabrina 'learned' this lesson halfway through the episode when she stormed out of the party. There is really no reason for any of this plot.)
- Erin and I cry because we discover there are five other Christmas episodes in this series, but I missed them initially because this is the only one with Christmas in the title.
I guess we'll be back later.
