  • "oh so your trying to sugarcoat the fact the other realm took a SHORTCUT?" - Sabrina to Zelda

    9.5
    "Superb"

    This is the best episode of season three and perhaps the best one of them all.

    Sabrina is way slow... i mean behind on the family secret. however because she is a teenager she takes all measures to take a shortcut to an east solution. Zelda warns her against this.
    Mrs Quick inadvertantly solves a clue for Sabrina and reveals her addiction to quizshows. sabrina brings her to her house and zaps in Guess The Family Secret (and Monty Hall) to trick Mrs Quick into solving the family secret. unfortunately Zelda catches her (just in time for the bonus round!)
    Sabrina is sent to the old town by the other realm and must learn to cope the old fashioned way. however it soon turns out the other realm took a shortcut and sent sabrina to a tourist attraction in westbridge. sabrina learns not to take shortcuts. Loved every minute - my favourite Ep!moreless

    It's election time in the Other Realm. Sabrina is excited, because witches in the Other Realm get to vote at the age of 17. However, they must have discovered their family secret. Sabrina is behind on that department, so she asks Mrs. Quick for help. That is considered a short cut, so Sabrina must spend a whole day without any modern conveniences. When Mrs. Quick tries to tell her the answer to one of the clues, Sabrina can't resist and they are sent to the Other Realm praire, where Sabrina discovers the answer without short cuts. Meanwhile, Hilda and Zelda take opposite stands on some political matters.moreless

    • Mrs. Quick: I'm addicted to game shows. Sabrina: Well, at least it's legal. Mrs. Quick: I was in a 12-step program once. It was fun; they'd give you clues and you had to figure out when and where the meetings were held. Didn't help to kick the habit, though.

    • Zelda: Sabrina, don't worry. You'll figure out the family secret in time to vote. How many clues have you solved? Sabrina: Wait a minute while I add them up... One! Hilda: Sabrina, we had no idea you were so slow. I mean, behind...

    • Valerie: I need you for one more fitting. Please? Harvey: I can't! I have plans, and they all involve me wearing pants.

    • Mrs. Quick: A cat... eating a banana... how strange... Sabrina: Oh, well he's part chimp on his mother's side.

    • Sabrina: Harvey! You'd do anything for me, right? Harvey: I'm not feathering my hair again.

    • (After going upstairs when they hear a marching band play.) Salem: It's election time in the Other Realm! Uncle Roy (handing out a voting pamphlet to Sabrina): I want you to vote. (Hilda) I want you to stop calling me! (Goes back to the closet to the Other Realm) Sabrina: Was that Uncle Sam? Zelda: In the Other Realm he's known as "Uncle Roy". We're not sure why.

    • Hilda: Stupid crossword puzzle! Zelda: This is not gonna turn out ugly like that tic-tac-toe incident, is it? Hilda: You know, despite my dating history, I can't think of a word for a male turkey. Sabrina: Coffee... Hilda: No, something with three letters.

    • Salem: Did you hear the good news? Sabrina: What? Salem: Thank God it's Frigyah!

    • Mrs. Quick: What a wonderful dream! Alone with Harrison Ford, dancing in the gardens of Versailles... go back to sleep...

    • Zelda: So how was life on the prairie? Sabrina: You knew about that? Hilda: We had to sign the release form. Zelda: Lucky for you the Witches Council was so busy with the election they didn't have time to send you back to the real prairie. Sabrina: Oh, so you're trying to sugarcoat the fact that they took a shortcut?

    • Sabrina: Stupid embers... Hey, that clue wasn't fire, it was ember! M plus ember equals member! Mrs. Quick: That's really good Sabrina. That makes much more sense than what I had: m'fire.

    • Sabrina: 'M' plus fire? I've got it! M'fire! Salem: Right! M'fire! That makes so much sense. Let's use it in a sentence. Run! Run! The house is on m'fire. Sabrina: I've got a better one. You're m'fired. Salem: You can't m'fire me! I m'quit!

    • Salem: Hello, I'm Mr. Saberhagen and you may refer to me as Mr. Saberhagen. Sabrina: How did I end up with you as my tutor?
