That series gave Sabrina an origin story: The opening narration states that Hilda and Zelda were attempting to create a wicked witch but accidentally knocked “beautiful girls’ stuff” into their potion, inadvertently creating Sabrina, the “grooviest teenage witch.” The series ran until 1974. The Goolies were later spun off into their own series, and Sabrina’s show was retitled as the first “Sabrina the Teenage Witch.” In 1970, Sabrina received a spinoff, “Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies,” in which she encounters wacky situations involving the Goolies, a group of monsters based on Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, a mummy and a wolf man. In 1969, Sabrina was introduced to new audiences in an animated TV special titled “Archie and His New Pals.” Soon after, she appeared in recurring segments on “The Archie Comedy Hour,” in which the character tries to use her magic to solve problems while hiding from Archie and his friends that she is a witch.
