Melissa Joan Hart teases the possible return of ‘Clarissa Explains it All’
Clarissa may have been the one to explain it all back in the 1990s but actress Melissa Joan Hart has been explaining plenty herself during a recent string of interviews.
Hart, who played a precocious teen girl in Nickelodeon’s “Clarissa Explains it All” and a precocious teen witch in ABC and the WB’s “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,” made headlines recently when she told People that she not only was supporting Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson, but she was working as the campaign’s Connecticut chairwoman.
The actress has been making publicity appearances for the 20th anniversary of “Sabrina,” which debuted Sept. 27, 1996, but the juiciest tidbit from Hart’s latest spate of interviews isn’t about “Sabrina” but about “Clarissa.”
When asked by Us Weekly about the possibility of a reboot of either series, Hart waved off the thought of returning to her teenage witchy ways. But when it came to “Clarissa,” Hart said, “There is some talk about ‘Clarissa,’ so we’ll see which way that goes.”
For those of you keeping track, that’s a yes for Gary Johnson, a maybe for “Clarissa Explains it All” and a no-go for “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.”
No word yet on the possibility of a remake of Hart’s sitcom with Joey Lawrence, “Melissa & Joey,” which ended its four-season run in 2015.
