The running time of an episode might be a clue that something’s missing, but I can’t guarantee that. Just be aware music and footage are missing from various episodes. … Almost all musical performances have been cut from the DVD release.” IMDb has a partial list of songs, and there are also the songs on the official soundtrack album, but I can’t find a full list of songs. According to Wikipedia: “On the DVD sets, most sequences featuring music has been altered, seeing as it would have been costly to obtain the rights to many songs used in the series. There were a lot of popular songs played on this series, and there were also performances by various artists. Also, y’know, witch country and Lovecraft country.įinally, I need to make a note about the music. This was probably done to avoid questions of why Archie and the gang weren’t showing up. One more change made for the series was the relocation of the family from Riverdale to the fictional town of Westbridge, Massachusetts (in the movie, Sabrina had moved from an unspecified town in Massachusetts to live with her aunts in Riverdale it’s unknown, as of this episode, where Sabrina was from in this universe).
It’s also an Anglicization of the Irish surname, O’Spealain, meaning “the scythe”. Spellman is a real surname it means “writer of spells”. Spellman is actually their last name in the comics I don’t know why the movie decided to change it, other than maybe it was too “obvious”. Other establishing shots were shot in Boston, Massachusetts.Īnother change made for the series was changing the family’s surname from Sawyer to Spellman. Most of the movie’s cast (except Melissa Joan Hart at least) was Canadian, but the TV series was shot at Universal Studios in Universal City (season 1) and Paramount Studios in Hollywood (seasons 2-7), so that’s probably the reason why most of the cast was swapped out.Įstablishing shots of Sabrina’s house were shot at 64 E. Somehow (again, there’s little in the way of Archie television information available on the Internet), the Showtime movie led to ABC greenlighting a weekly television series for the fall.
Original Air Date: Friday, September 27, 1996 So expect a review of episode 02 eventually, because fucked if I’m letting that work go to waste.
So I got over three minutes into reviewing an episode and then realized it was the wrong fucking episode, because the episode order is out of whack on the DVD set. I took more screencaps than I’d planned on.
