TEENAGE WITCH HOW TO
She was figuring out how to be comfortable with her real identity through the support and insight of two same-sex guardians who’ve gone through the same thing. As many people have pointed out: she was a young high school student with a secret she doesn’t want anyone to find out, for fear of being shamed. "TV nowadays is so much less silly, which is sad - but I guess it’s not the 90s anymore.”Īlternative reading: Sabrina was a metaphor for being gay in the 90s. Maybe there are witches among us right now, but you’re so closed-minded they can’t tell us who they are.”
I mean, how do you know witches are ugly - have you ever seen one?” She adds, “Yes witches are different from mortals - but different isn’t bad. When Harvey - Sabrina’s love interest - tries to tell everyone that clearly she’s not because she doesn’t have warts or a massive nose or the tendency to melt when doused in a large glass of water, she retorts: “What you just described is a stereotype.
TEENAGE WITCH TRIAL
In another episode, called The Crucible, after the famous Arthur Miller play about the Salem witch trials, Sabrina gets put on trial for being a witch in a reenactment. Basically, it doesn’t really matter if you’re good at twirling pom-poms or rearranging algorithms, if you’re a dick you’re a dick. In one episode, after being mocked by popular girl Libby (again) for joining science club, Sabrina turns Libby into a ‘geek’ to show her what it’s like to be picked on - only to see Libby turn all her newfound friends against everyone else, in the same way she rallied the popular cheerleaders. It’s classic Sabrina: a display of decent morals, and also fucking weird.
She then celebrates by feeding her classmates with a giant flan. But instead of it turning into your typical revenge plot, Sabrina gets locked in a mirror by actual major league baseball player Brady Anderson, who won’t let her out until she makes amends and recognizes she was in the wrong too. The magic was a metaphor for a young girl learning to control her desires and emotions, as well as an excuse to showcase a 6ft flan.” In the episode in question, Sabrina’s mocked by her nemesis, Libby, for getting a massive wart on her forehead, so Sabrina turns her into a goat. “She cared about being a good friend, making good choices, and doing well in school. “Sabrina was my attempt to create a show that I would’ve loved as that weird young girl who grew up to write for Letterman and Spy and The Simpsons,” Nell told the Guardian. Nell’s embrace of genuine female perspectives in all their strange, gross glory filtered into Sabrina.
TEENAGE WITCH FULL
“They showed how a household run entirely by women could be full of power and wonder.” “The problem,” she wrote in her recent memoir, “is that people want to hear about interns in the bedroom, and I want to talk about gender in the writers’ room.” She was the second ever female writer on Late Night with David Letterman, but quit after less than a year in due to staggering, if not surprising, inequality in the writers’ room - an experience she later detailed in a damning report for Vanity Fair. It was written and created by Nell Scovell, a women who’s made a point of promoting diversity within the writers’ room - and by extension, on screen.
And also because the last time it was a television show, it was one of the best television shows out.The OG Sabrina sitcom started in 1996. Which makes sense - partly because it’s being written by the creator of another very successful Archie-comic-turned-teen-focused-TV-juggernaut, Riverdale. Fortunately there’s no Sabrina Spotify, yet.
