If you spent your childhood wishing you could point your finger at a problem and magically make it disappear, we have some excellent news for you: Sabrina the Teenage Witch is officially back on UK screens.
For anyone who somehow missed the series the first time around, it follows Sabrina Spellman (Melissa Joan Hart), who discovers on her 16th birthday that she isn't actually your average teenager – she's a witch.
She lives with her equally magical aunts Hilda (Caroline Rhea) and Zelda (Beth Broderick), who attempt to teach her how to use her newfound powers responsibly. Key word: attempt.
Then, of course, there's Salem. Formerly a warlock with ambitions of world domination, he's been sentenced to spend 100 years as a black cat and consequently delivers some of the show's best one-liners while offering Sabrina advice that is occasionally helpful and frequently chaotic.
Throw in high-school crush Harvey Kinkle (Nate Richert), resident mean girl Libby Chessler (Jenna Leigh Green), trips to the Other Realm and Sabrina using magic to solve extremely normal teenage problems only for everything to go spectacularly wrong, and you have peak comfort TV.
And now the iconic series starring Hart as our favourite teenage witch has returned to Comedy Central, with episodes airing every weekday between 11am and 1pm in the UK and Ireland.
Which, admittedly, isn't exactly ideal timing for those of us with jobs. But thankfully, Sky and NOW customers can also catch up on episodes on demand, so you don't need to start scheduling mysterious two-hour "meetings" into your working day just yet.
The show originally premiered in 1996 – so, yes, technically it's a '90s and '00s classic – and ran until 2003, clocking up an impressive seven seasons and 163 episodes.
And the later seasons saw Sabrina grow up alongside its audience, moving from high school to college and eventually into working life, with Soleil Moon Frye and Elisa Donovan joining the cast as her friends Roxie and Morgan.
But we'd argue those early seasons remain particularly elite. Sabrina and Harvey! The linen cupboard portal! Salem plotting from the kitchen counter! Hilda and Zelda casually having centuries of completely bonkers backstory!
Plus, the show became known for some genuinely wild celebrity cameos over the years. Britney Spears, *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Usher all entered Sabrina's magical universe at various points, making rewatching it now feel like opening a time capsule.
So, whether you watched it religiously the first time around or simply fancy finding out why an entire generation remains emotionally attached to a sarcastic animatronic black cat, your weekday comfort viewing is officially sorted.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch airs weekdays from 11am to 1pm on Comedy Central in the UK and Ireland
