Background
As you may have gathered, at the start of 1998 there was a change
of policy in the Sabrina headquarters. The Animal Makers designers were
unceremoniously sacked, and a new company (Chiodo Brothers) were hired
instead. Opinion has been split, with some thinking the new cat is
better and some thinking it is worse.
Latest News
A new contender has joined the race!!! Someone voted for the real
cat actors, so I have added a new category! Does that change
your view?
Vote Breakdown
Twenty people prefer the original, against
Fifteen who have supported the new design team.
One person actually voted in favor of the cat actors,
which I thought was a novel idea. Ironically, I would have to actually
agree! I have therefore added a category to the voting options.
More information
The background page
has pictures and info from people of the show (namely, Jim Boulden,
Nick Bakay, Paula Hart and Edward Chiodo).
If you have the
episodes on tape, compare the new cat in any episode from
"The Band Show" onwards to the original cat in
any of the episodes before it. But you probably want to get right to
the juicy stuff - read other
people's comments!
You can get more information about Salem in general at
Ian Hickson's Salem Site. There is
also lots and lots of stuff about Sabrina the Teenage Witch at
Donald Lancon's Sabrina Site.

NOTE - I personally haven't seen
the new Salem, and I don't have an opinion for or against the change.
Once we eventually do get to see season 2 episodes in the UK, I will
be able to voice an opinion, but until then I'm staying neutral! Your
comments may be edited for length or accuracy. You will be informed if
this occurs.
