Jenna Leigh Green, who portrayed Libby Chessler on the hit comedy series Sabrina the Teenage Witch, has revealed that she filmed a pilot for Nickelodeon in the '90s before landing the part of Sabrina's arch-enemy!
In a recent episode of Melissa Joan Hart's What Women Binge podcast, Green revealed to the Clarissa Explains It All alum that she played the lead character Shelby Wink in the pilot episode of The Mystery Files of Shelby Wink.
Ultimately, that show didn't get picked up, however, if the name of the show sounds familiar, that's because it is!
Whilst The Mystery Files of Shelby Wink didn't get ordered to series, it got reworked to what eventually became Nickelodeon's The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo! The mystery series starred Irene Ng and Pat Morita and revolved around the adventures of a Chinese American teenage girl who lives with her innkeeper grandfather and works as a non-sworn intern at the local police department where she helps out with odds and ends around the office.
The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo would go on to run for 41 episodes over four seasons, airing between 1996 and 1999, with the majority of episodes filmed at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
Interestingly, Green admitted that if the show did get greenlit, she wouldn't have been available to Sabrina the Teenage Witch, thus missing out on the iconic role!
During the interview, Hart also revealed that Sabrina the Teenage Witch, was picked up straight-to-series without a test pilot being filmed!

Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender started airing in February 2005, over four years before James Cameron’s Avatar opened in theaters and began its run to becoming the highest-grossing film of all time worldwide with $2.9 billion (unadjusted for inflation). And yet, Nickelodeon was blocked from naming the beloved animated series simply Avatar because Cameron already had the rights to the title. Fans have often wondered if a connection between the two titles existed, and now they have their answer courtesy of animator Giancarlo Volpe, who directed 19 episodes of the Nickelodeon series.
“In 2004 we learned that we had to change the name of our show from Avatar to Avatar: The Last Airbender because James Cameron already had the rights to a movie called Avatar,” Volpe wrote on Twitter. “Now the sequel is called ‘The Way of Water.’ If part 3 is called ‘The Firebending Masters,’ we riot.”
Volpe was referring to how the element of water plays an important role in the animated series, and now it’s the centerpiece of Cameron’s sequel. The director, whose other credits include Star Wars: The Clone Wars and The Dragon Prince, won an Annie Award for helming the second season Avatar: The Last Airbender episode “The Drill.”
Cameron started developing the original Avatar in 1994. He wrote an 80-page treatment for the story that year, and in 1996 he announced plans to direct Avatar after Titanic. The motion capture technology needed to direct the film did not advance as fast as Cameron expected, so the movie never officially got off the ground until 2006. Cameron always maintained the rights to the title, however, forcing the Nickelodeon series to add The Last Airbender to its name.
Strangely, when Avatar: The Last Airbender first aired, it was only titled that in North America, with the series getting retitled Avatar: The Legend of Aang internationally.
Both Avatar franchises are now set for major comebacks. Cameron’s long-awaited sequel, The Way of Water, opens in theaters Dec. 16 and will be followed by at least one more sequel. If the box office is strong enough through Avatar 3, Cameron will make good on his plan for Avatar 4 and Avatar 5.
Avatar: The Last Airbender will also be coming to theaters with its first feature film on Oct. 10, 2025. The movie, which will follow the characters from the original series, will be released from Paramount Pictures, is the first project to come from the newly-created Avatar Studios, which original series creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko founded with the goal of expanding the universe of the flagship series and its sequel series The Legend of Korra.

I’ve always wanted to embark on an epic journey and become a mythical hero. Does it matter that I’m the kind of Minecraft player that gets lost without coordinates? No! Does it matter if most of my adventuring ends in flashing hearts? Double no! Because the adventure knocking on our door today isn’t about creepers, or Endermen, or anything you’ve ever seen in Minecraft before. This adventure asks: can you master all four elements? Can you become the hero? Find out in the epic new Avatar Legends DLC* from Nickelodeon and Gamemode One, releasing today!
Discover the power of the bending arts in the new Avatar Legends DLC!
Drawing from both Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar: The Legend of Korra, this immersive DLC sets you on a mission to become the Avatar: the only one who can bend all four elements and restore harmony to the world’s four nations. Explore iconic locations from both series, and meet familiar friends and foes from the Water Tribe, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads on your epic quest!
To become a master of each Bending Art you’ll need to unlock special Bending Techniques! This means summoning your courage and undertaking challenging quests and duelling formidable Bending Masters. An easy task for a great hero like yourself! I will however need some pointers on that “courage summoning” though. Perhaps I should just bring you with me on my epic adventure, and we can tackle it together? The Avatar Legends DLC features multiplayer mode, so you can invite your friends to join you on your journey, just like Aang and Korra did. As I always say: a journey shared is a journey that requires less panicked button-mashing!
Play as yourself or as your favorite characters, as the Avatar Legends DLC comes with 50+ new skins, including Aang, Korra, Zuko, and Katara! And to celebrate the launch, you’ll also find something special in the Dressing Room: a free Blue Spirit Mask! I don’t know about you, but I sure feel ready to set off on this epic quest now to master the four elements. Download the Avatar Legends DLC* and become the hero that restores peace to the four nations!

Developed by Emmy(R) Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman ("Trollhunters" and "Ninjago"), the CG-animated series STAR TREK: PRODIGY is the first "Star Trek" series aimed at younger audiences, and follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered - a first in the history of the "Star Trek" franchise - but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.
In the remaining STAR TREK: PRODIGY season one episodes, as the hopeful crew makes their way toward Starfleet, their dreams are threatened when they discover the U.S.S. Protostar harbors a weapon designed to tear the United Federation of Planets apart. To make matters worse, the U.S.S. Dauntless is on a manhunt for the Protostar as the real Vice Admiral Janeway is eager to uncover what happened to her missing former First Officer Chakotay. With these two ships on a collision course and destruction on the horizon, the fate of the Alpha Quadrant hangs in the balance. New episodes stream Thursdays on Paramount+.
