Melissa Joan Hart 27 List

    Melissa Joan Hart has her own 27 list:

    BTW: TV Witch Day (formerly Sabrina/MJH Day) is on the Friday before Halloween in October. 
        This has become an accidental tradition itself, due to her show "Sabrina" 
        airing an annual Halloween episode on Friday nights. 
        The day is yearly, not monthly.
    September 27, 1996, "Sabrina" premiered on ABC.
    "Sabrina" was on two networks during her seven year run.
    David Lascher's birthday is April 27, 1972.
    Melissa Joan Hart spent $2.7 million at age 27 for a ranch with a two story
        guest house in June 2003.
    On July 27, 2003, Melissa Joan Hart appears on ABC Family as the cameras follow
        her in the six day miniseries "Tying the Knot: The Wedding of Melissa Joan
        Hart and Mark Wilkerson"
    On Oct 27, 1998, "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" soundtrack album was released.
        It went platinum on 12-7-98

    Her "Sabrina" CD soundtrack went platinum on 12-7-98
    Her real-life series premiered in 1996...27 years after the cartoon version did in 1969. 
        (note: Sabrina's cartoon shorts were featured during the Archie Comedy Hour
         Saturday mornings on CBS for the 1969-70 season.)
    On Feb 27, 2003, the 27's continue...The WB moved "Sabrina the (amlost 27 year old) 
        Teenage Witch" on Thursdays at 8 p.m.
    Oct 27, 2000, Sabrina celebrated her 100th episode (a Halloween show no less!)
    Oct 27, 2000, Sabrina/MJH Day fell on October 27th. The holday has since been
        rechristened as Witch Day, which falls on the Friday before but not on Halloween
        in October (date range from 24th to 30th).
    Her off-network strip "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" began on Sep 18, 2000.  That's 9-18, 
        so 9+18=27. Exactly 52 weeks before that, "Weird Al" guested in her daily cartoon 
        version of the show.
    Her TV band "Clarissa & The Straightjackets" has 27 letters in it. Spell it like this:
       "Clarissa and the Straitjackets", the wrong way, and it still has 27 letters!
    "Sabrina" ceased airing new episodes in April 2003 just after Melissa Joan Hart 
        turned 27.
    Melissa Joan Hart turned 27 on 4-18-2003. 4 + 18 + 2 + 3 = 27.
    The last episode of "Sabrina" aired on 4-24-2003. 4+24+2-3 = 27.
    Douglas Sheehan played her father on the "Almost Wedding" and "Britney Spears"
         episodes. His birthday is April 27, 1949, almost 27 years older than
         MJH! Sheehan was a regular in General Hospital and Knots Landing.

    From: "boingo freak" (9-27-00)
    I was driving home from my music lesson while listening to the radio 
    yesterday (the 27th) and Mellisa Joan Hart was being interviewed.  )For you 
    Southern California people, she was on Star 98.7 with Ryan Seacrest and Lisa 
    Fox about 6pm.

Sabrina has ties with Weird Al:
    * on "Sabrina" episode from Spring 2000, Amanda (Sabrina's bratty cousin), Harvey, and Sabrina
      play a game of Twister, a game Weird Al sang about.

Melissa/Sabrina 27's
    * HotSMP reports that there was an episode of "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" that mentioned 
      27. It was when her friends were over and they suggest astonishments. Sabrina suggested 
      the #11 thing to be astonished with. Anyway, they did some quick math and said something 
      like, "Wow, and that makes 27."
    * On the February 20, 1998 evening's show, Sabrina showed the new girl in school to her locker:
      Sabrina: "What's your locker number?"
      New girl: "27."
    * On the February 27, 1998 show, Melissa sang a Blondie cover "One Way or Another", which
      was later released as a CD single and part of an album.

Melissa 27's (connectied with Weird Al)
    Melissa appearred with Weird Al on the AMA awards 1-27-97.
    * At the "American Music Awards" on January 27, 1997, here's the conversation that happened.
      Sinbad: He's the funny man who changed "Lump" into "Forrest Gump" (sic), and "Gangsta's 
      Paradise" into "Amish Paradise", and she's the star of "Sabrina The Teenage Witch". Here 
      to present the next award are "Weird Al" YankovicH (sic) and Melissa Joan Hart.
      Al: I'm here tonight....with my hot muffin of love
      Melissa: *laughing*
    * Weird Al Does a "Parody" of Sabrina on His "Weird Al" Show
    * On "The Weird Al Show," while Al was surfing channels, he came across a show called "Sabrina 
      The Teenage Fish."
    * Melissa's birthdate, April 18, and Weird Al's birthdate, Oct 23, is a 27-week gap!

Select Connections Between "Sabrina" and Weird Al
    * Both Weird Al and Melissa Joan Hart released albums or videos with the titles
      of "Running With Scissors" and "Peter and the Wolf".
    * JawaHutt reports that on the December 12, 1997 episode of "Sabrina," Libby says, "Well, anyway, 
      I checked out the 'Weird Al' Yankovic website and I'm thinking of linking it on my page."
    * Sabrina's boyfriend's name is none other than Harvey (Weird Al's hamster's name)
    * Orion Bob notes that in the 1997 Chrismas episode of "Sabrina," Sabrina dressed up like Santa 
      and gave a young boy a spatula as a Christmas present.
    * Amanda Cohen did some investigating and found out that Al might have a "friend" on the show. 
      Frank Coniff and Joel Hodgeson, both formerly of MST3K, work for "Sabrina." Coniff is a 
      story editor, and Joel is a "magic consultant" for about half the shows. There are 
      TONS of Al references on MST3K.
    * Jon! "Bob" Katz reminds us that on Melissa Joan Hart's old show ("Clarrisa Explains It All"), 
      in one episode they were driving and you see a sign that says "Lake - 27 miles."
    * "Sabrina: The Animated Series" was bound to have a large wackiness quotient also. The show 
      had Savage Steve Holland as executive producer. He's the man behind "Eek! The Cat" which 
      had a celebrity voice cameo by "Weird" Al Yankovic.
