Adapted from the Archie Comics series of the same name, Sabrina the Teenage Witch combines elements of fantasy, comedy, and coming-of-age storytelling.

It is based on the beloved Archie Comics series of the same name. The show made its debut on September 27, 1996, on ABC as part of its "T.G.I.F." lineup and drew in a massive audience of over 17 million viewers.

While the animated comic book series is set in the fictional town of Greendale, the television adaptation takes place in the fictitious Boston suburb of Westbridge, Massachusetts.

2. The Comic Book Character Has Always Known Of Her Magic

Melissa Joan Hart takes on the lead role of Sabrina Spellman, an American teenager who discovers on her 16th birthday that she possesses magical powers. This differs from the original Archie Comics series, where Sabrina has been aware of her powers since a young age. 

3. Hilda And Zelda Are 600 Years Old

In Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Sabrina resides with her 600-year-old aunts, Hilda (played by Caroline Rhea) and Zelda (played by Beth Broderick), who are also witches.

4. It Switched From ABC To The WB

The series initially aired on ABC for its first four seasons, with its final episode on the network airing on May 5, 2000. The remaining three seasons were then picked up by The WB and ran from September 22, 2000, to April 24, 2003.

5. Sabrina The Teenage Witch Is Similar To Bewitched

Sabrina The Teenage Witch's premise and its quirkiness drew comparisons to the beloved 1960s series Bewitched.

Sabrina frequently references contemporary icons like Britney Spears and the band No Doubt. The series also intertwines human history with witch history, touching upon events like the Salem witch hunt. However, Sabrina's aunt Zelda enlightens her that it wasn't a quest to unveil real witches. Hilda mentions that there was a time when a bunny ruled England for two months, prompting the witches' council to manipulate time, subtly highlighting the ignorance of mortals. Additionally, an episode playfully suggests that talk show host Jerry Springer is a witch while hosting The Jerry Springer Show in the other realm.

7. Sabrina The Teenage Witch Spans 7 Years

Spanning seven seasons, the show chronicles Sabrina's journey over the course of seven years, although each season does not necessarily correspond to a single year.

Season 4 revolves around her 18th birthday and that year. Season 5 starts a summer later, with Sabrina being 19, and she spends three years at college studying journalism, which is depicted in Seasons 5 and 6. 

By the beginning of Season 7, she has graduated (as she's living in the Spellman House with Roxie and Morgan and working), indicating an age progression to 22 over two seasons, covering three in-universe years. In the final season, Sabrina is 23 years old.

9. Sabrina The Teenage Witch Had Iconic Costume Change Titles Until Season 4

In the opening titles of the first three seasons, Sabrina is seen posing in front of a mirror with four different costumes and outfits, while the names of the cast members quickly flash at the bottom of the screen. The first three outfits remain the same, but the fourth one changes in each episode. Towards the end, Sabrina would deliver a line related to the last costume, often a pun or a joke related to the episode's content, before magically disappearing from the frame, starting from her head and moving downward.

For the fourth season, the opening sequence underwent a complete change. It introduced a new theme song and showcased the main characters of the show. The sequence featured Sabrina and the others floating in bubbles, with their names displayed in golden letters, accompanied by a background chant of "Secret."

10. Season 5’s Credits Included A New Song To Reference Sabrina’s New College Life

The opening credits for the final three seasons featured a new vocal theme song and showcased Sabrina at various locations around Boston, including Harvard Bridge, Boston Common, Union Oyster House, Massachusetts State House, Quincy Market, Newbury Street, Harvard University, Tufts University, and Beacon Hill. 

In the credits for Seasons 5 and 6, Sabrina is shown leaving Newbury Comics on Newbury Street, walking down a flight of stairs, and then being transformed by computer graphics into her room, where she lies on her bed next to Salem.
