Baby Makes 5 For Melly JH

I am an unashamed fan of all thing Melissa Joan Hart which means not only am I excited about the new Sabrina The Teenage Witch movie and the imminent return of the best show on telly -'Melissa & Joey', but I am also thrilled about the news that Melissa and her husband are pregnant with their third child.  Massive congrats to them . (and how cute are those boys!)

Sabrina At The Movies!!

We have two shows in our family that are loved by every family member - Dance Academy, liked by Surfer Boy but obsessively loved by the rest of us, and the fabulous Sabrina The Teenage Witch which has been a family favourite for years and is on constant rotation we own every season and on any given day of the week there will be a Sabrina episode playing.  We even have a black cat, scarily similar to Salem, who watches with us!

Imagine how excited I was this morning to discover that Sabrina is going to become a MOVIE!!!
Sabrina began her life as a  precocious teen witch in the 1960s comics, and was famously played by Melissa Joan Hart in the 90s sitcom.  In the movie version Sabrina will be recast as a superhero.

The film will be “an origin story in the vein of Spider-Man, about a young girl coming to terms with her remarkable powers.”
Everyone’s favorite talking cat Salem will be back for the film, who here is “a transformed prince creating unique love stories for Sabrina.”
Sony Pictures is helming the film with Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, who wrote the upcoming flick Die in a Gunfight, writing the script.

My main concern, of course, is who are they going to get to play Sabrina?  How do you follow up from the wonderful Melissa Joan Hart?  And please God don't forget Harvey - Sabrina is lost without Harvey. Who would be your pick to play the lovably crazy teen witch?

My Latest TV Gem.

Anyone who has spent any time with my family knows that one of our family favourites is Sabrina The Teenage Witch - well I have very exciting news....
Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina) is back doing sitcom and not only that... she's doing it with Joey Lawrence! Just in case you were asleep or not born in the 90's, Joey starred as Joey Russo, the guy with the luxurious mullet who said "Whoa!" a lot when he was on "Blossom."
Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence were teen sitcom stars in the 1990s. They were huge -- huge!

In a retro TV dream Joey and Melissa have teamed up to star in the new sitcom - "Melissa & Joey"
Here's the deal - Melissa plays a harried city council member who finds herself taking care of her teenage niece and nephew. She has to do this because her sister is in federal prison and her brother-in-law has vanished after a dodgey scheme has imploded.

Joey  plays one of the people who lost all his money to the missing brother-in-law. Now he's living in his Porsche, which is about to be repo'd. He hunts down Melissa at a city hall news conference, thinking she'll know where her brother-in-law is hiding.

Melissa is so busy and scatterbrained that she's failing to connect with her niece and nephew and therefore needs a manny: someone to whip the kids into shape, lend structure, cook dinner etc. And Joe needs a house to live in and a job. There you go!

It turns out that this is actually a pretty good show - It is the ABC's biggest comedy debut on record EVER


I know what I'll be downloading tonight!!! (plus a few eps of Blossom)
