While the Archie comics are the basis for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch TV show, they only provided a foundation. Nell Scovell has only seen a few episodes of ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ However, Scovell admits the newest Sabrina iteration, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, remains hard for her to watch. Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place follow a similar formula, combining coming-of-age stories and tropes with magical twists in each episode. “It was, ‘Be careful of your powers, but we will encourage you to use them.’”Īnd Sabrina did not mark the end of magic women on TV. “That is the difference between a show in the ‘60s and a show in the ‘90s created by someone who grew up in the ‘70s and had Gloria Steinem in her life,” Scovell told Elle.
Instead of ‘hide your power,’ the show leaned more toward ‘use caution with your powers.’
And women usually hold all the magic power.ĭrawing inspiration from shows like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie, the Sabrina the Teenage Witch TV show carried a much different message. Magic and sitcoms have enjoyed plenty of success throughout America’s television history.
“She doesn’t have a date for the prom, so her aunts make one out of man-dough, as one does,” she said ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ was different from older shows like ‘Bewitched’ in 1 key way Scovell said the show took traditional sitcom tropes and gave them an “additional twist of magic.” She, like me, wanted to be good in school, and a good person.” She doesn’t want to be a cheerleader popular. “And the revolutionary idea of Sabrina is she’s a good kid. “I wanted to make a show that I would’ve liked to watch when I was a young girl,” Scovell told Elle for the show’s 25th anniversary.
