"Sabrina, the Teenage Witch": It's Valentine's Day, and Sabrina, the heroine in this sprightly, kid-aimed series (8 p.m., WLS-Ch. 7), is being a-courted. There's a problem, however: The boy, a mortal, wants to kiss her, and when witches, even half witches like Sabrina, kiss mortals, they stand a chance of turning them into frogs. In the same way that "3rd Rock from the Sun" cleverly imagines how Earth customs might appear to visiting aliens, "Sabrina" creatively envisions, on a less complicated level but with a sharp sensibility, the dilemmas of a magical teen trying to lead a normal life with her witch aunts. Melissa Joan Hart sparkles in the lead, and Penn Jillette has a dandy recurring role as head of the Witches Council, the most powerful man in the universe.
