Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (s02e08)

Inna-Gadda-Sabrina


In a crossover involving all four of ABC’s Friday night family-friendly shows, Salem eats Sabrina’s time ball, sending their world back to the 1960s and sending each of the other shows’ characters to a different decade as well. You could argue that the time ball causes the whole culture to experience the world as if it were back in the 1960s rather than producing actual time travel. —Inmate Jan
You hold it and your surroundings become whatever decade you think of.
On the set of Sabrina’s house, Caroline Rhea (as Hilda), Melissa Joan Hart
                (as Sabrina), and Beth Broderick (as Zelda) flash peace signs in sixties clothes.

One Dog Night


The final part of ABC’s Friday night crossover took Salem the cat to Teen Angel’s house where he transports Teen Angel and the family back to the time of disco and, apparently, altered the course of the 1976 presidential election. —Michael Main
Oh, honey, you can go any time. Disco’s gonna last forever.
