Who did you prefer ?

I liked Jenny, but Valerie was so much funnier.

I liked Valerie better she was much more relatable and as you said funnier and i felt like her and Sabrina had a really good friendship since they're the opposite of each other,Jenny is cool too i have to say !

I preferred Valerie too. I think she was quite funny and probably relateable. I'm sure most people know or knew someone like Valerie at school; awkward and desperate to fit in.

Valerie's insecurity could be annoying at times, but I did prefer her over Jenny.

I liked them both, but I think Valerie was funnier and a lot better to watch with more storyline potential. Jenny was kind of too similar to Sabrina in a way, but I still would have liked her to make further appearances. In all though, Valerie was always my favourite best friend of Sabrina.

Little people? Who decides they are so unimportant?

Maybe I will when I rewatch it, but I can barely remember anything about Jenny's personality, if she even had one, so I'll go with Valerie.

Valerie seemed easier to relate to and was more sympathetic due to her insecurity and such (I'm sure even some of us have had our "Valerie moments" growing up, and maybe still do).

I agree. I think in some way I think Valerie wouldn't be out of place in a lot of teen shows. Awkward, insecure, a follower of Sabrina in some ways, and I think the audience were to react to her with sympathy and humour.

I really liked Roxy as well, though I'm not a fan of that era of the show so much. I think in contrast to Valerie she was sort of the opposite as a friend to Sabrina, like an anti Valerie. Initially didn't like Sabrina or want her around, a tough chick who can stand up for herself, and as she says a post feminist, eco friendly, vegan.

I didn't mind the character of Jenny. I think she was cool and likeable enough, but there is something about her that makes me think I'm not surprised she was replaced after Season 1.

Valerie, no doubt. Jenny was one of the characters I found most annoying through the series.

I liked both, but if I had to choose I'd probably say Valerie!

Valerie. I found it stupid she wasn't in season 4, one year left of high school. At least have her leave after the high school era ended.

They set it up she was going to move in with sabrina then changed it.

I disliked the show for constantly changing her friends and removing characters. Never have a seen a comedy/sitcom show go through this many changes.

Jenny easily. I can't stand valerie. Her and Mr. Pool were the best.
