Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (4)
ADD TRIVIA
- One of the people in the cat show was a parody of James Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who has the same type of cat as seen in this episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- Sabrina initially assumes Salem's last name is Spellman, then he corrects her by saying he is "her cat, not [her] pet".
  
  Shouldn't it be obvious to Sabrina that Salem's last name would be different from hers, considering he is a man-turned-cat?
  EDIT SHARE
- How could Sabrina (in cat form) be proclaimed winner of the competition? After all, she was never officially entered, she could have just been a stray cat.
  EDIT SHARE
- In this episode Bob Gordan compares Sabrina to Diane Sawyer. Sabrina eventually becomes interested in journalism in later episodes.
