Actors from "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" are brought out in abundance for the Halloween episode "Good Will Haunting",

Playing themselves as such are Dick Clark, Mary Hart, and Monty Hall, while Jerry Springer gets to lampoon his edgy daytime talk show in a more extensive and plot-tailored manner. Season 3 skews towards stunt casting, employing the most famous individuals in a limited capacity for the recognition factor. Most of these surely meant less to the teens tuning in than their parents. Joining her this third season is Gordie (Curtis Andersen), a go-to geek and short-lived love interest for Valerie.Ĭontinuing to be more remarkable than the recurring cast pool is "Sabrina"'s vast collection of one-time guest star appearances. Quick ("Saturday Night Live" alum Mary Gross). Once again leading the tiny pack of recurring characters is the amusingly timid teacher Mrs. High school frequently challenges Sabrina in her junior year, though such adventures are almost always carried out with a small speaking cast that includes snobby cheerleader Libby (Jenna Leigh Green) and oft-perturbed Vice Principal Willard Kraft (the reliably wry Martin Mull). Sabrina's boyfriend Harvey (Nate Richert) and friend Valerie (Lindsay Sloane) continue to provide support and obstacles, while never knowing of their pal's mixed heritage. There, in the fictitious Massachussetts suburb of Westbridge, she lives with an odd couple of witch aunts in their mid-600s, the whimsical Hilda (Caroline Rhea) and the more rational Zelda (Beth Broderick). As always, the show fixes its attentions on Sabrina Spellman (Melissa Joan Hart),Ī half-human, half-witch teenager whose magical powers regularly have an effect on her life in the Mortal Realm. Little changed for "Sabrina" in moving from Season 2 to Season 3, especially compared to the cast and design shake-ups that would later come. Their inspiration, however, the Archie Comics-spawned "Sabrina", remained strong in 1998-99, now serving as the 9:00 PM Eastern/Pacific anchor, neighbored by new shows and longtime Friday night staple "Boy Meets World." Two other sitcoms that tried to balance normal teen life with fantasy elements ("You Wish", "Teen Angel") were both cancelled before completing a single season.
