hey everyone so today i want to talk about the fifth episode of the third season of sabrina
pancake madness what are we fanatic waffle people we went out and about again and again in our ford
falcon we went to boot again again now fair falcon you're bruising all my adam's apple ew squared
the money store the answer to the riddle is cakes on the griddle pancake madness is one
of my all-time favorite episodes i absolutely have to admit that i just want to say one thing though
people keep asking me while i haven't done some video reviews in quite a long time and it has been
about two months shocking i know um primarily it's just because times got away with me and
i kind of didn't think to do one but also because a few people have been commenting saying you know
stop reviewing these you know i'm trying to find the episodes so it kind of made me feel
a little bit uneasy about doing them but in saying that it is actually illegal for
the episodes to be uploaded on youtube so buy the dvds they're not actually allowed to be on youtube
i'm pleased they are but they're not actually going to be there so i shouldn't feel that guilty
uh but yeah so this episode is brilliant sabrina finds out that the spelmans can't eat pancakes but
she decides to have a bite anyway just to see what would happen and prove that she's not going to get
hooked and of course she does get hooked and the whole moral here is the fact that you know she's
disobeyed her aunt's there's been consequences to that she's to listen to what she's being told
and not think that she knows better than her than her elders
um there's also the whole thing about gaining self-control and not allowing yourself to become
too obsessed with anything which to be honest that episode clearly hasn't had an impact on my life
because i get obsessions really really quickly but i do like that it has quite a strong moral
there are so many some episodes where it's kind of not as obvious what the moral is but with this
it is listen to your aunties and don't eat too many pancakes you know it's brilliant
it's an absolutely fantastic story there is one thing though which i think i mentioned in the
pilot review years ago that there is a massive continuity error with this in the first episode
in the pilot um there is a plate of pancakes on the table but obviously they didn't think oh in
the first episode in three seasons time we're going to talk about pancake addiction but it is
a little bit annoying when you're walking back to see these pancakes in the first episode thinking
she can't eat them but never mind that's just a little thing that i seem to
get irritated by quite easily many grosses in this which i absolutely love i think she's fantastic
you know jelly green is in this um nate richards obviously and then usually melissa beth carolyn
uh and nick mckay i think salem has quite a lot of entertainment in this i think there's something
about salem in this particular episode where he's not trying too hard to be funny but he just
is and then i absolutely love that salem salem is obviously very very adorable as a character
and one thing about this episode as well is that it always makes me hungry there are two episodes
which make me hungry one is bunt friday and i always want to um come away from that eating
truth sprinkles on a cookie i always want that and with this one i always create pancakes and
syrup which is i guess the point but also it means that you are having to sit there
resisting the temptation of going out and buying just a box of pancakes and hot syrup and i
want pancakes instead of now i love the pancake song the answer to the riddle is cakes on the
griddle it's so catchy and so funky i love the sequins and little dance sequence i think it's
very beautiful and i could listen to it all day and whenever i hear it it just
instantly cheers me up so that's um you know i love the aspect of this as well we
get to bring out a lot of and the canadian elements um salem just fell on the floor no
we get to bring out a lot of the canadian elements in this and obviously because caroline ray is
is canadian to have hilda in this sort of it's not really mentioned as canada but it's clearly
um a party on canada i guess if you like but don't kind of really nicely and really friendly
and i love that and it kind of brings in a little bit more of caroline's personality into this as an
actress so that i think is great uh salem when he's in the stack of pancakes is such an iconic
image there were posters of that in the year in the late 90s in the pack of trading cards there
are many many versions of it just salem in the pancakes is one of the most hilarious things ever
even though i know it's coming every time i just burst out laughing and nearly died in hysterics
it's i'm probably exaggerating but it's so funny and yeah jane austen has mentioned as well which
makes me worried because i hadn't seen this episode in over a year i hadn't i've heard of
gino's but i didn't really know anything about her until we studied it a year ago in my first year
of university and when i was watching this i was like oh i know who wrote pride and prejudice too
i'm with zelda i'd clearly be stuck in in the other realm and yes so this absolute
episode episode is absolutely gorgeous it's entertaining it makes me hungry it's beautiful
it's got strong morals so she casts and acting as top notch as always the song is awesome
the whole thing is absolutely fantastic and i do know that this one is very well received you know
there are some episodes where not everybody likes them and they're not as well received as others
and kind of not as greatly received in the sense that they'll either dislike a cast member of this
like plot or they won't like sabrina's outfit bets outfit well zelda's clothes in this perfect
but yeah i absolutely love it please feel free to leave comments and then your thoughts on pancake
madness i know a lot of you have been missing my sabrina reviews so thank you to the kind messages
asking me when i'm going to be doing them again i just thought i might as well do this one just now
and when i found out that the next one was pancake madness i got a bit excited i did
um yeah but please feel free leave comments let me know if you want me to carry on doing
these more frequently as when i used to and i will see you all next time bye
