The following text about Sabrina appeared in the September 1996 Fall Season Preview issue of "Entertainment Weekly". The small amount of text accompanied a medium photo (Sabrina pointing at someone's tray in the cafeteria, spilling a drink all over the place). There's also an ad from ABC elsewhere in the issue, with "STTW" sharing a page with "Clueless".
Concept: The comic-book witch (dis)embodied by "Clarissa Explains It All"'s Melissa Joan Hart.
The Scoop: Let's get right down to it: How does Sabrina levitate? "It's like they put my body in plaster of paris and they made a mold of my back, the whole back side of me," says Hart. "And they attached it to a pole. They're going to just lift me and drop me and...well, like, I wake up in the middle of the night, and I'm levitating, and I reach over to turn off my alarm clock, and I fall out of bed. Stuff like that." Cool. Additionally cool: Sabrina's dad is played by Robby Benson, who also directed the first episode.
Bottom Line: A smart way to bolster ABC's faltering TGIF ratings.
