Why Pancake Madness is the Best Episode of Sabrina
'Sabrina The Teenage Witch' and the Season three episode Pancake Madness. It is so good, even Melissa Joan Hart herself revealed that Pancake Madness is one of her favourite ever episodes.
You can keep Breakfast at Tiffany's and forget the diner scene from Reservoir Dogs, this pancake day there is only one thing you should be watching: Sabrina The Teenage Witch and the Season three episode Pancake Madness. It is so good, even Melissa Joan Hart herself revealed that Pancake Madness is one of her favourite ever episodes. So start flipping, here what makes it so great.
Pancake Madness is a nodding reference to the 1969 short Winter of the Witch, where a group of children were transfixed by magic buttery blueberry pancakes, accompanied with LSD like visuals. With a walking maple syrup jug and Salem inside a stack of pancakes, it is clear to see the similarities.
The episode starts with Sabrina questioning why the Spellman household never have pancakes for breakfast. After conjuring up a syrupy stack, Sabrina's aunts Hilda and Zelda ban her from ever eating pancakes.
No pancakes, not in this house, not ever- Aunt Hilda
A dark family secret (no not THE family secret) is that no Spellman can resist the taste of pancakes. This being Sabrina, it is clear that the rebelling teenager won't heed her aunt's advice.
One bite and you won't be able to stop- Aunt Zelda
In an additional blooper, Sabrina has been seen eating pancakes in the pilot episode, so when did she develop her addiction?
2. By Season three they just weren't trying as hard with rhymes.
3. Sabrina teaches us the Dos and Don'ts of foraging.
4. Meanwhile Hilda is in trouble with Witch Immigration.
5. Who said love was dead?
6. Nothing like a midnight snack.
7. Libby proving she is the Cordelia Chase of Westbridge High School.
8. The World Pancake eating Olympics.
9. Sabrina goes full Violet Beauregarde.
11. Nuff' said.
12. Meet Mrs. Mapleton.
13. Sound advice from a human syrup dispenser.
14. Even in 1998 Hanson wasn't relevant.
15. Happily ever after Sabrina kicks the habit.
16. But it looks like Sabrina isn't the only one with a problem.
Sadly the episode of MTV Cribs doesn't show MJH to have any pancakes in her fridge, but we do get to look round her palatial mansion (complete with waterfall). Sabrina The Teenage Witch ran for another four seasons, three movies and an animated series, but we never again reached the sugar rush of Pancake Madness.

Suicide Squad: Is It Time Harley Quinn Gets Her Own Film?
Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Jessica Jones... NAH, give us The Clown Princess, Puddin, Harley Quinn, any day of the week! In an ever expanding world of superheroes, and with the Marvel slate full until 2020, it is really time that DC upped their game. The recent release of the brand new Suicide Squad trailer (set to Bohemian Rhapsody) focuses on 'the bad guys', but highlights one very special lady indeed. Isn't it time The Joker's other half got her own moment in the limelight?

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.
