There were huge slapstick elements which caused genuine laugh out loud moments along with funny, culturally relevant scripts which although have dated slighted now, are delivered to perfection.
She was initially believed to be the daughter of Edward and Diana Spellman, making her half-mortal and half-witch.However, it was later revealed that her actual father was the Dark Lord. She is portrayed by Kiernan Shipka, who reprised her role during the sixth season of The CWs Riverdale. It aired Friday nights on ABC, alongside Boy Meets World, Family Matters, and Two of a Kind. Sabrina Spellman was the main character on Netflixs Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. It was filled with great strong female characters who were not written into the usual, ‘girl next door’, ‘love interest’, ‘friend’ but as educated, funny and independent women, something which felt lacking back in the genre then and in some ways even now.Īs great as that was, the real reason I tuned in every week was because it truly was just very funny. Sabrina the Teenage Witch dominated the TGIF lineup when it premiered in 1996. Sabrina, although very much in line with the winning formula set out by the above mentioned shows, had the supernatural twist of the lead being a witch and not only trying to get though being a teenager but also handling her powers while in many ways reining in her aunts who, unlike other shows in the genre, end up causing more chaos then they solve.
Navigating her way through high school and college with powers proves not to be an easy feat but with her aunts behind her and major love interest Harvey to keep her busy, nothing too disastrous can happen, right?Īfter the success of Saved by the Bell in the late eighties and early nineties, there seems to be a very quick succession of teen based sitcoms filling the airwaves, some were more successful ( Boy Meets World, California Dreams) than others ( USA High, Saved by the Bell: The Collage Years) but they were mostly all in a similar vein: a group of friends getting into trouble, fixing it while getting sage advice from the adults involved. Sabrina Spellman (Melissa Joan Hart) finds out on her sixteenth birthday that she is a witch and has been sent to live with her aunts not because her parents are away working but to learn the art and responsibility of magic.
