Libby should've followed Sabrina out of high school the same way Paris Geller did Rory Gilmore. Would've loved to see her more.
She'd already left by then. Libby moved away before Sabrina's final year in High School.
Agreed! They should’ve been roommates! And then become unlikely friends. Maybe she could even learn that Sabrina was a witch. 😮😮😮
Jenna hasn’t aged a day! Absolutely stunning 😍
Love this. Honestly even though the character of Libby was meant to be annoying I always sorta felt a lot of sympathy for her.
And still cute
yes same i wanted her to be on the show forever and I wanted her to be bffs with sabrina sooo bad
The Libby puzzle episode blew my mind, helped me put things into perspective and not hate her so much
@@theyoutubeanalyst3731especially with her grandma and it showing her sensitive side. 😢
I have a mad hot crush on JLG so I didn’t mind Libby at all
shes so sweet! it really goes to show how great of an actress she was. libby is definitely up there in the mean girl pop culture pantheon.
Also; I loved the entire cast of Sabrina; they couldn’t have casted a better team to make the show; we all knew a Libby in our school as kids; we all had aunts that meddled a bit; we all wish we had cats that could talk lol ❤❤❤ Sabrina and the 90s as a whole will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
I still want a talking cat😂 Sabrina was one of the best TV shows ever. So much fun and the fashion was iconic
Libby hasnt aged a day since her appearance on Sabrina!
She doesn’t remotely look 48 years old.
Can we say the same about sabrina?
@@dbog5214 absolutely
@@jmwloup5110 Huh?
@@Mike-fk3ie I love her but No!
Jenna is STUNNING
I always enjoy watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch. It's one of my favorite memories from my younger days. It's still one of my favorite TV shows from the 90s.
Thank you for such a cool guest like Libby
This show was an integral part of my childhood and it helped me to cope in a lot of ways with a lot of crazy things I was going through. I’ll never forget getting a book that had fan mail addresses to many popular pop culture celebrities at the time and I remember writing a letter to both Melissa and to Jim Carrey. Both of them sent me headshots with their signatures and it melts my heart to remember that. Thank you Melissa for not only being such a great person today as you were back then but for staying a great example for all of us. I loved Clarissa Explains It All and that was where I originally started to watch your work. I was a teen during these years so I love that in a sense; I got to grow up with you!! Hugs ❤ love to you and yours from NC 💕
Yes, the Geek episode was so good! And I've always loved how they didn't just go the typical route and have the episode end in Libby learning a lesson in empathy etc but instead have Libby LOVE being a geek and the show being like "Oh, no, Libby isn't popular/in charge because she's a beautiful cheerleader, she's actually just excellent at controlling and manipulating others because she's a sociopath" lol.
Thank you ladies! the show is an important part of my adolescence and it's so lovely to see you talking about your experience
Jennifer looks amazing 👏
We need a live episode with Jenna, for now I loved this episode!!!!
Yes Jenna is right, Alias is awesome, and my fav series.
Also Melissa needs to see wicked, ❤❤❤❤❤
I thought I was the ONLY person in the world who hasn’t seen Wicked! My shame is gone now learning I’m in good company with MJH! 😂
It’s so good. Worth watching or at least listen to the soundtrack
I found this super interesting. The fact that Melissa served in a “straight woman”/“anchor” capacity is not something I was ever really aware of, but I knew I always appreciated Sabrina for her levelheadedness in the midst of chaos. As a kid whose life was very chaotic at times, I actually found this super reassuring and comforting while watching Sabrina as a 12-year old. She wasn’t afraid. She figured stuff out when it seemed there was no way out. I think it was genius. It was needed and necessary for the demographic it was meant for. ❤
....... watching it as an adult means realizing Sabrina was a stubborn idiot who should have listened to adults who had experience and knowledge on her, the same as all kids. She listened to her heart, but she made very poor choices bc she didn't think about the long term consequences
@@norabarnes9235 Like all teenagers… If she had done everything adults told her to do, it would have been 1) completely unrealistic, and 2) boring. I think you know what I mean. I can’t remember another show where a teenager approached life with the same confidence and reason as Sabrina. That is all I’m saying… 🙄🙄🙄
@@lakeside4485 tv shows become our parents basically, so we need good role models. Instead of parents who are absent or idiots, we need to see parents respected by the kids. We need to see kids that heed advice and it works. We need to see HEALTHY ways to deal with relationships and situations not drama. "boring" is an excuse the industry uses on par with "sex sells" to push out almost nothing but deviant crap to brainwash the generation watching it. Next thing you know bc healthy relationships and reactions to situations are "boring" you have show after show that only contains drama, boyfriendhopping, bed hopping, teen pregnancy, toxic relationships, toxic reactions to situations. You become an adult and you look back and you realize what you have to unprogram yourself from. Hell, even The Summer I Turned Pretty turned from a non-sexually active girl to her first boyfriend being Bi and kids experimenting right and left. I refused to watch it. Jenny Han herself insisted that it respresented teens "realistically" COMPLETELY shitting on all the teens who read her books and IDENTIFIED with Belly. Who didn't want parties and sex. And will completely groom the incoming generation that sex and partying etc SHOULD be wanted by teenagers bc it's NORMAL. she literally said those words. A subliminal push TOWARD teenage sex and partying, just like every other show. She literally said there wasn't enough accurate rep of being teenagers, and she was happy she could make that change, as if every other show wasn't already going there. Which also, btw, deletes Belly's main motivation and struggle with should she marry Jeremiah (I'll stop here on this topic since it's not about a deep dive into that fiasco). There was a show on NBC called Believe, it got axed after like 10 episodes. It had drama, but it also had strong faith and strong morals and positive messages. They PRETEND they try with positive message shows so they can PRETEND they fail. Meanwhile, they air shows like Dance Moms and talk all about the drama and volatile moms, when 90% of the viewers actually just want to see the girls dance. someone once pointed out to me The Addams Family, as dark as the comedy is, ACTUALLY SHOWS a healthy family that listens to each other, the parents are respected and listened to, and the parents are in love (bc in every reboot the characters didn't stay together even if they find each other again--apparently a happy healthy fulfilling relationship in the meantime would be BORING. They all married other people/had children with other people/ etc. Ravens Home, Fuller House, Scully and Moulder, just think of any reboot or sequel really. THAT drama is more realistic? Or is it okay bc it's DRAMA so it's not boring? Healthy relationships are BORING. Healthy reactions to situations are BORING. So, where is the line between realism and boring? generations were taught to respect our parents, but that became BORING because god forbid we took the advice of people who went through the experience. So, TV started showing dumb parents and disrespect and willful teenagers, because that's not boring, and that became our teacher. So is a defiant teenager actually realistic or is it that the values we teach kids, who grow up via a TV these decades, changed bc "drama sells and happy healthy relationships are boring". I grew up from sitcoms and it took a LONG time for me to learn that's not real life. You could say drama or whatever is more real life, but does the normal person face that much action in daily life? can a doctor watch a doctor show or a lawyer watch a lawyer show without ripping out there hair bc it's so incorrect? We all know reality TV is garbage where they make situations to cause drama bc "thats what people want to watch". As for Sabrina herself, she NEVER listened. Yeah, she went her own way--and the result was things like her Witches license pushed back time and again, she can't she her mother EVER now because of HER OWN actions, instead of just waiting and eventually she'd get to have her, situations were made harder of her own convoluted doing--yeah teenagers make mistakes, even with healthy relationships and reactions, bc they're hormonal AF and impulsive. But sitcoms/drama/whatever goes over the top wouldn't you say? To keep viewers sucked in? Extra horrible things have to happen to "keep engagement" because god forbid she listened and got to experience a reality where she didn't lose her mom forever. that's too happy, it wouldn't sell. And we can't have that into the consciousness of the minds of the kids watching and learning from Sabrina. because learning that better choices lead to happier alternatives would be BORING. and in a land where kids start learning that, and learning healthier reactions and relationships earlier than unlearning them and relearning in adulthood would ax the ability to argue that such was unrealistic teenage behavior, and also, be BORing.
The Violent Femmes eposide had some peer pressure where Libby tries to push Sabrina to ditch what is her aunts who were pretending to be teenagers.
Can we please get Valerie (Lindsay Sloan) next? pleaaase
that would be awesome
And her first friend. Can’t remember the characters name but she had red hair.
Jenny
Such an awesome episode! I have loved Jenna for so many years, not just as Libby but as a musical theatre performer and to have her on your show I loved every minute of it. She’s the sweetest and my biggest dream would be to meet both of you when you come back to the uk!
What ever happened to the character Jennifer Kelly from season 1 of Sabrina? I always wandered what happened to her and Mr pool after season 1.
I believe Mr. Pool’s actor, Paul Fieg, became a producer when he was let go from Sabrina. After Sabrina, I believe that’s when he made the switch from actor to producer. He would produce Bridesmaids years later.
As for Jenny, audiences apparently didn’t respond well to her, and she was recast with Valerie the next season.
I have actually been binging Sabrina with my best friend Lily. Its her first time watching it and i had to fix that. Thank you for the opportunity to grow up with you
so that's why there's always that episode in shows where it's all just the characters remembering old scenes from past episodes.
OH my gosh!!!!!! I'm so excited to find your channel!! Clarissa and Sabrina are near and dear to my heart!!
My second favorite episode!! Such a good one. Thank you!!!
Estoy tan feliz de verte en youtube, hace dos días me terminé tu serie Sabrina, la bruja adelescente, gracias por quedarte con Harvey, aunque era tu alma gemela, las amo, gracias por tu canal :)
Came here by way of those Lawrence brother scoundrels and Melissa really hasn't aged at all! And I am just loving this!
Great interview! So nice to see people being their genuine self together^^ Seems like Jenna has a lot to share and Im here for it all! Hoping for a part 2...!
PS. Im surprised that the theme song of Fresh Prince didnt come up hahha.
I really enjoy your podcast, I also have all your Christmas movies recorded, Sabrina and Clarissa were my kid’s favorite shows to watch. Honestly I enjoyed them as well. Merry Christmas to you and your families ladies 🎄🎄
I grew up watching Sabrina ! Geez it just feels like that was forever ago now ! It would be cool if you and her reacted to the episodes!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH FINALLYYYY I've BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
God I love Libby and Sabrina so this is a great way to rekindle a Sabrina relationship
Super loved this episode!!
oh my gosh, she looks THE SAME. not even like an older version just like THE SAME
Melissa, you and Jenna are absolutely Wonderful! Its great getting to know the real cast behind the characters!
Fan since Clarissa!!
She's Right, Wicked was a great book/series
This and my dogs good health is all i could possibly want for Christmas.... ;) This whole podcast as a fan is just a dream come true. P.S i'd love if u spoke about/even did a watch along of your Are you afraid of the dark episode .
I love Libby, what an awesome show.
Geek like me😭🤣🤣🤣❤ I love them so much. My favorite Libby one was when she turns into a puzzle😈😅🤣 and the volunteering at the elderly home🤭😇🤣
You haven’t age at all Jenna Leigh . Your always Stunning
I have watch this show several times. This show Is wholesome, fun and witty.
loved Jenna on her episode of Ghost Whisperer, such an emotional episode.
This is a wonderful interview. I had heard she had performed in “Tommy“ on the stage, but I didn’t know what production she appeared in. I know my age group is not the intended audience for “Sabrina the teenage witch“, but I love the first season and, so, I was delighted when Jenna referenced that season as her favorite. So many great guest stars including Debbie Harry of the group, Blondie, along with The violent femmes playing themselves. it was never mentioned here, but I am sure that Melissa Joan Hart remembers turning Jenna into a pineapple! So much fun! also, in those first two seasons there were some great late 1980s and 1990s pop tunes, including songs from our. Eat. M. and Chumbawamba and others too numerous to name here. Anyway, so good to hear these ladies talk about their careers. 11:26 11:37
I always loved the battle of the bands episode! I loved the songs both of y'all sang
I love watching your channel Mel I hope u have a great Christmas
I loove Melissa & Jenna's shirts, I want both! soo cute. she'll always be Libby to us but I ADORED Wicked!
Jenna Leigh Green still sounds just like Libby.
That is a shirt that reminds me of Sabrina’s room!
Hi from South Africa🇿🇦 i love this podcast and i love the series Sabrina the teenage witch I'm on season 4 almost on season 5 the show is my ultimate favourite from when i was younger and I'm almost 24 years old🌷❤
*No way she is almost 50!*
People probably think she’s even nicer than she actually is because Libby is the expectation.
I saw Jenna in Wicked and was so excited!
Hooray! Libby was one of my favorite characters on the show. She was mean but added that perfect touch of humor. And wow, she hasn't aged a day; she's as beautiful as ever. It's fantastic to see her doing so well.
She’s aged, but she’s aged beautifully and naturally! It’s actually very reassuring. Very much like MJH!
They all look great. ❤❤ Beautiful girls.luv the interview.
Libby was the perfect nemesis 😂❤
I loved Alias I so happy that show got shout out. Yeah that show could definitely get a reboot.
Melissa Hart, you can sing girl. Great job on the masked singer.
I rewatched Sabrina over and over again since the age of 16 (that's ten years!), but I got to know, what happened to the cast members that were unexpectedly written out? Namely, Lindsay Sloane. All I've seen is that producers have let her go because of popularity, but I feel like it's more than that. This is something that has bothered me for a long time.
my version of binging: only watching something when i eat or clean ; when talking to family we usually talk about we are doing, or what we did, not really what we watched. I like doing, more than watching, but I always have some series I watch to clean or eat, lol! (or just music sometimes) Obviously right now its Sabrina XD
I think Sabrina the movie served as a pilot for the show
Thanks, it was I think 🤔, 1996 , with different characters, but not much, .
Ahhhhh!!! Loved this castpod!!!!! Tee hee!!!
I've always loved Libby lol now we need to get Valerie to come on the podcast 😊
I love that she said Alanis!!
Oh my god the mystery files of shelby woo! I had completely forgotten about that show!
I saw Jenna in WICKED in Chicago...and the day I saw it....Jenna was in as Elphaba
omg I remember the Shelby show! I loved it lol. I agree with the Sydney Bristow option!
Love this podcast so much. Especially episodes like this that give me major nostalgia. You should have harvy on next. That would be really cool. Really anyone that was on sabrina with you.
Jenna (Libby) is fantastic.
YES FINALLY LIBBY ON ❤
I think it’s weird, they seem to get along so well and Jenny played a mean girl and I was shocked to find out she was nice in real life
Jenna is lovely. She looks amazing 😻
Had to go and listen to Jenna singing Defying Gravity. DAMN!!!!! This was amazing! Powertool voice!
JENNA IS SO NICE IN REAL LIFE!
I loved working with you two both .... good times
Who did you play on the show?
Libby was GREAT in Geek Like Me! And its hilarious that Mr. Pool created Freaks and Geeks-- i was watching that episode with my son just the other day and commented out loud how many times this show said "Freaks" and "Geeks" and mentioned that show.
JLG is such an amazing person! I love BARE
Oh my goodness I love you both so much ,you were my lifeline every Friday night 🌙
Omgee I just discovered this show and love Melissa. I’m a subscriber

I had no idea that she was the original The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo (Wink). I loved that show.
I've never seen wicked😹😹heard of it no idea what it was until it was explained!!
Wow an amazing video
I own Sabrina 96 on DVD and am in Series II. I missed the WB era darn it so looking forward to the last 3 series.
kove sabrina always every friday night ty for the memories loved salem
What my sisters are twins are Jennifer and Jessica. Wow. Love that fact about Jenna. Thank you.
Oh my goodness I love her
Good morning ☀️ Amanda & MJ❤️ - also watching STTW on Pluto ch 210 (8-10)
She was in one episode of cold case, sh played an amazing character in that.
well i didnt know she had a youtube channel only time yourubes recomendations worked
The Libby/Sabrina dynamic was the best part of the show and had potential to be something great but they just dropped it and took Libby off the show for no reason.
Las amo...lindos recuerdos ❤
Libby I love her so much!
Hey Melissa joan hart I'm a huge fan of your show sabrina teenage witch and I'm more than grateful you made my childhood.
My favourite Libby was When Teens Collide when they swapped personalities, and Sabrina became so mean and her gold magic became scarlet red. But she found her personality on Libby annoying and the same when Valerie becomes her she finds “Sabrina’s” personality annoying. When she tries to act down like Valerie normally did when Valerie as Sabrina cheers her up she thinks “Am I really that obnoxious”
The show wasn't the same after Libby was gone.
I saw Jenna as Nessarose in Wicked!
my favorite episode is when Melissa sang "one way or another" by Blondie i have that song.
I hated all nicknames for Amanda, though, when I realized its relation to "Miranda" I loved it. And how people from southern america or some other country pronounce it correctly, "AMAnda" not "A MAN da" because its "Amare" shortened, Amanda meaning to be loved in Latin. Amare is love. I have a soul name though to make myself feel "special" - "Amadeus" - loved by God! (Melissa meaning bee or honey is SO on point, you are the pollinator of spring, bringing sweet golden honey bliss to the land!)
OMG IT'S JENNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow Libby looks better than before 👍
i just cant believe sabrina and libby are being nice to each other! this is so cool but so weird!!!!!!!! LOL
