4.0 out of 5 stars
the start of Sabrina's college years, September 19, 2009
Sabrina starts college (and dyes her hair red) in the fifth season of SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH, which was also the first season to air on the WB network. For many fans, this is where the show began losing it's magic, but I felt that the new mix of characters and locations added a refreshing change, especially after some of the more dreary aspects (Dreama, Brad the witch-hunter) of Season Four.
Despite finally being out of the Spellman house, Sabrina (Melissa Joan Hart) isn't exactly on her own for college; as Zelda (Beth Broderick) joins the faculty as a new associate professor, Hilda (Caroline Rhea) takes over management of the campus coffee shop where Sabrina still works part-time, and Salem (voiced by Nick Bakay) is...well, just along for the ride! Adding a sparky new dimension to Sabrina's world of friends are roommates Morgan (Elisa Donovan), Roxie (Soleil Moon Frye--"Punky Brewster" herself!) and Miles (Trevor Lissauer).
What I find refreshing is that the writers didn't try to include Harvey (Nate Richert) as much into the college stories as he could have been. It's revealed in the first episode that Harvey and Sabrina have broken up--this occurred somewhere between the end of the fourth season and the beginning of the fifth, but we never see it onscreen. The final episode of Season Four ("The End of an Era") concluded with Harvey having exceeded his spell quota and finally discovering that Sabrina is in fact a witch. For the true Harvey/Sabrina fans, rest assured that he still makes the occasional appearance in Season Five, but he and Sabrina are now just good friends. Causing his own ripples in Sabrina's complicated heart--just as he did in Season Four--is Josh (David Lascher), the coffee-shop guy--who instead decides to date Morgan!
