You're probably right, the writer might have plucked that from "Bell, Book, and Candle."Jacqueline T.

In the first story, Sabrina explains she cannot cry or fall in love (because she'd lose her magic). I'm guessing writer George Gladir was probably influenced by this movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-31984424558056858602009-10-22T21:43:21.598-04:002009-10-22T21:43:21.598-04:00Hi, Tom.

This is one of my favorite guilty pleasures- for some reason I always look forward to watching it around Thanksgiving, it gets me in a holiday mood :) (I know it has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, but I'm odd I guess! lol)<br /><br />And I really want to name a cat Pyewacket.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026961018017690353noreply@blogger.com
