Line 53:
* [[Chained to A Railway]]: Parodied: Sabrina even does the scream-and-struggle seizure, but quickly stops as she realizes that screaming is pretty pointless if you're in a silent movie.
* [[Channel Hop]]: Moved from [[ABC]] to [[The WB]]
* [[Character Development]]: Over the course of seven seasons Amanda goes from being a [[Bratty Half -Pint]] to a decent person, and her and Sabrina are on much better terms. Roxie also starts season 5 as an anti-social moody bitch and ends the series as one of Sabrina's closest friends.
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Ms. Quick certainly shows shades of this.
** Some fans will agree that Miles does too.
Line 87:
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Pretty much the whole "teenage" cast but notably Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina) (b. 1976), Jenna Leigh Green ([[Alpha Bitch|Libby]]), (b. 1974) and Lindsay Sloane (Valerie) (b. 1977).
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Salem.
* [[Did You Get a New Haircut?]]: Played with in an episode. Jenny really does get a horrible (and dramatically shorter) new haircut:
{{quote| '''Harvey:''' You look different. Are those new earrings?<br />
'''Jenny:''' Actually they are.<br />
Line 138:
{{quote| '''Sabrina:''' Hi, Aaron's told me so much about you.<br />
'''Aaron's Dad:''' Then he obviously didn't tell you I hate small talk. }}
* [[Heh, Heh, You Said "X"]]: Salem loved doing this.
{{quote| '''Hilda''': Now, obvious fact number one. Willard hasn’t asked you to marry him yet and obvious fact number two...<br />
'''Salem''': Hee hee hee! You said 'number two'! }}
Line 167:
{{quote| '''Hilda''': "You wanna talk about frightening, you should see my mother-in-law. They said she was ugly as sin. Sin sued."}}
* [[Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery]]: Valerie once tried to imitate Sabrina...because of Sabrina misfiring, of course.
* [[ItsIt's Fake Fur, ItsIt's Fine]]: In one episode, Salem has a huge gambling debt to a guy (who later turned out to be a cheater), and the Spellmans are forced to work for him to pay it off. At his gambling hall, we see women wearing fur wraps. The furs are later stated to be fake when the Spellmans try to make a potion, and a hair from a fake fur is an ingredient.
* [[Jedi Mind Trick]]: Often used by Sabrina, especially on Harvey and Roxie. A good example from the episode 'Sabrina and the Candidate':
{{quote| '''Sabrina''': I have a question for one of the candidates.<br />
Line 179:
** Later on, Morgan came and averted the rule. She always ended up with the short end of the stick, despite being mostly an airhead rather than a bitch.
* [[Kryptonite Is Everywhere]]: Plastic, one of the most common substances in the world, is the weakness of magic. [[Subverted]] though, as only certain types of plastic affect magic and only to prevent magic from working on them. In other words, a witch could theoretically be surrounded by plastic and still be able to use magic. However, this would limit their powers to whatever could be done inside the plastic. (Teleportation and conjuring might still be viable options though, depending on the particular rules of the Sabrina universe.)
* [[Last -Minute Hookup]]: Sabrina returns to first love Harvey instead of getting married when the network refuses to allow an hour-long finale.
* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]] / [[Genre Savvy]]: "It looks like the spell went wrong in an unexpected way. How unusual."
* [[Leprechaun]]
Line 252:
* [[Retool]]: At least ''twice'' in seasons 5 and 7, and arguably seasons 4 and 2 as well.
* [[Rich Bitch]]
* [[Romantic Runner -Up]]: Harvey Kinkel in later seasons{{spoiler|, but in the end he got the girl.}}
* [[Running Gag]]: In the first season, Sabrina's notes never went beyond 'Mitosis is...' in several episodes. She finally managed to get the definition out in the season finale.
* [[Sadist Teacher]]
Line 258:
* [[School Clubs Are Serious Business]]: Especially in the episode ''Geek Like Me''.
* [[Sealed With a Kiss]]
* [[Secret -Chaser]]: Notably absent, much to the surprise of all. Until Brad showed up.
** Libby played this role for an episode. (Sabrina was allowed to tell one friend she was a witch and chose Valerie, who told Harvey. One of them later inadvertantly mentioned it in front of Libby.)
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Harvey Kinkel in later seasons.
Line 266:
* [[Series Continuity Error]]: In the first season, when Sabrina kisses Harvey (a mortal), he is turned into a frog. In the following seasons, Sabrina and Hilda kiss several other mortals without them ever turning into frogs.
** It's stated to only happen the first time.
* [[Shout -Out]]: At least a couple jokes and references to ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', possibly because one of the producers is Frank Conniff, who might be better known as "TV's Frank" of MST3K.
** The first episode to feature Dreama is called "Dream A Little Dreama Me", which is reference to an old love song.
* [[Sit Com]]
