ThatEightiesGirl I was 12 years old when this show first aired on television in 1989, so I clearly remember watching it. The characters were interesting, and I have to admit, I've always had a small crush on Zack. For some reason, I find him to be the funniest out of all the others, chasing after his dream girl (Kelly) and all that other stuff. Up until now, I still continue watching this show, which brings me back to my youth and fashion in the last two decades. Unfortunately, there are no other TV shows like this nowadays, but then again that is something my husband and I would always refer to as "the evolution of television." This show is truly amazing, and anybody can watch it. You may not like it, but if there's one thing for sure that I want you to know, it most certainly is nothing at all like those reality shows that we now have.
Maniac-9 Most of the story lines on Saved by the Bell were fairly unbelievable but I still have fond memories of waking up early on Saturday mornings when I was 13 to watch the newest episode, so it still has a fond place in my heart. If you're reading this, chances are you too remember the fun adventures high school provided for Zack, Slater, Screech, Kelly, Jessie, Lisa and their principal Mr. Belding in this late '80s to early '90s sitcom.It makes me laugh watching the show now seeing Zack Slater with his cell phone which you can kind of describe as a brick.But SbtB wasn't pure fluff they did tackle a lot of issues that teens deal with like relationships, tested friendships, pill popping, cheating, the new girl, fights, and its detentions. But then the fallback on that is they always resolved those issues in a 30 minute episode.The show was completely episodic with very little that happened in the previous episode carrying over into the next episode.
Jetset971 I guess it is somewhat unfair to rank on this show for its hokeyness. I mean the premise was and has always been about a "G" rated gang of high school kids that date, but never have sex, party, but never do drugs or alcohol, at least without a quick life lesson given by their almost never seen parents. Additionally, A group of kids that are so goody-two shoes that butter wouldn't melt in their mouth. Under these circumstances, This show was fine when it stayed within those confines. HOWEVER, when SBTB went out of these confines and tried to deal realistically with real life problems it always agrivated me. Every real life problem was wrapped up nicely in just under 28 minutes and that person seemed was back to their Sweet Cotton Candy self. Remember when Zack and the gang had a few beers and got behind a wheel and dented his dads car? They all got busted by their parents and Zachs dad gives him a stern but loving punishment and talking to. It rang so hoaky and untrue. But, that was nothing compared to the greatest violation SBTB ever perpetrated. The Episode "Jessie's Song" deals with the fact that the overachiever, Jessie, has got to much going on in her life and has decided she needs a little "pick me up". Does she get hooked on Cocaine? No way. Does she get hooked on amphetamines? Guess again. Does she use any Plausible chemical that could become an reasonable addiction? NO. She gets all strung out on...(Brace yourself)CAFFINE PILLS!!!!!!!! She breaks down, as expected, at the end of the episode and realizes she has a problem. Too bad its a bogus problem. She may as well have been drinking too much coffee. If They want to show the dangers of drug addition, Fine, then use REAL DRUGS! ARRGH! This show is irrefutable proof of how you should not stray from your roots. There is no sin in being a family friendly show centered in a far from realistic world. Just stick with your lame hum-drum non controversial story lines and leave real life and real life issues to "Real TV Shows".
MustacheUmbrella Saved by the bell defines our childhood in the most perfect way imaginable. When you are a kid, you want to be an adult. When you are an adult you want to be a kid again. This stupid, silly, cliché show that we see today is a show we once loved when we were kids. Why? Because we were kids. Who knows why we liked it. Maybe it was an escape from our homework, essays, tests, etc. The sitcom Saved by the bell proves nothing is what is seems. Here's an example. Look in the basement and you might find a video tape recorder of yourself taping the most epic, most coolest thing imaginable, (you know, back then when they haven't dropped yet) You may find yourself thinking "Wow, I remember this sketch, it was the best comedy piece I ever put together with a group of friends when I was a kid." Until you hit the play button, and then all hell breaks lose. At first, as you're playing the tape you smile, but then seconds later that smile is replaced with horror, like that time you forgot to take your Imodium AD. And you're thinking "HOW THE **** DID I POSSIBLY THINK THIS WAS COOL?!" That's the kind of the reaction you will get when watching this sitcom for the first time in ten years. Now, there's no need to go over the premises, who the characters are and what the show is about because just about every living, breathing human being growing up in the 90's saw this show. Would I watch this show again and enjoy it? No. Of course not. Is it unintentionally funny? Yes. Saved by the Bell will not destroy any brain cells, and it most certainly isn't anything better than what we see on the Disney Channel nowadays. We all get nostalgic and we assume that the "old" cheesy sitcoms like these were "BETTER" but their not. This TV show is and will always be a part of your American childhood culture, and it will make you realize your life as a child was not as great as you once thought.
