This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Saved by the Bell originated as a show called Good Morning Miss Bliss, based around a popular junior high school teacher named Miss Bliss played by Haley Mills. Mark Paul Gosselear was there as Zack, Lark Voorhies as Lisa, Dennis Haskins as Principal Richard Belding and Dustin Diamond as Screech. Miss Bliss taught history at JFK Junior High in Indianapolis, Indiana, with the show following her students' interactions along with some glimpses of Miss Bliss' home life. The show was made for the 1988-89 TV season and appeared on the Disney Channel but didn't last long. Since it was originally produced by NBC, the show was retooled as a teen sitcom focusing on Zack Morris, a fourth wall breaking popular guy who attended Bayside High School. The show was moved from Indiana to Malibu, California. Mr. Belding, Screech, and Lisa were all there but Mario Lopez as Slater, Elizabeth Berkley as Jessie and Tiffany Thiessen as Kelly were all added. Zack's character was based on Ferris Bueller from the 1986 film with him being the most popular kid in school, though he doesn't have the adversarial relationship with Mr. Belding that Ferris did with Dean of Students Ed Rooney. Zack wasn't a slacker academically, seeming to at least do well enough to pass his classes and played basketball and ran track as well. Jessie, was an obsessive high achieving academic, class president and feminist. She seemed like she believed the school's self-appointed social conscience at times. Screech was a prototypical supernerd, he invented weird and useless things, excelled academically, was a chess champion, and always seemed hang out with the popular kids despite those things. The wardrobe always seemed to emphasize the nerdiness of Screech by dressing him in the worst clothes-rainbow suspenders, tie-dyed shirts, and ugly Chuck Taylor Converse were his typical costume. Lisa, she was the pretty girl who was into fashion, make up and seemed to be the most interested in dating despite rarely being shown with a boyfriend. Slater, he excelled as a star football player and wrestler, his dad was supposed to be an Army officer, and he had an on and off again relationship with Jessie. He was also shown as a dancer and enjoyed cooking. Kelly, she was the pretty girl next door, cheerleader, athletic, and the most popular girl at school. She and Zack were the main couple on the show and had on and off relationship too. All the other kids on SBTB seemed to come from wealthy or well-to-do families but we do see Kelly's family struggle financially at times. Kelly was also the oldest in a large family with her babysitting her younger siblings as part of her responsibilities. Sometimes the show got a little ridiculous in trying to teach a moral lesson, with the infamous caffeine pill episode where Jessie was using them to stay awake so she could study and get into Stanford.

I watched Saved by the Bell religiously as a kid. I was five when it hit the air, and probably started watching it regularly in syndication not long after that. I've seen every episode numerous times. You could call it one of my childhood favorites.However, it was truly a pretty bad show. SBTB set the bar LOW since it's inception. The writing was VERY cheesy, and very far-reaching in many aspects. The acting (especially in the early seasons) was pretty sub-par. Though, it did get better in later seasons, as the actors and actresses grew in to their roles more. And well, probably honed their acting skills better. But even for a children's show, it was pretty painful at many times.What SBTB had no shortage of were those "cringe worthy" moments. You know, the moments when you just feel BAD for the actors for having to take part in it. Or for that matter, yourself for having watched it. It bears repeating, the writing on this show was pretty bad. I honestly feel that many family/children's shows nowadays do a much better job with realism and writing. They're funnier, and adults can actively enjoy them as much as their kids. Few people outside of it's key demographic AND era would ever have gotten in to SBTB.It wasn't ALL bad. Perhaps it's the nostalgia speaking. But some of the episodes had decent plots, and it had it's comedic moments. It's not the worst show out there by far. It doesn't however, stand the test of time. This is a niche show that only those with an appreciation for late 1980's/early 1990's styles and cheese could appreciate. Think of it like those drug PSA's from the same time frame. Many were just HORRIBLE, but you love to watch them because they're 1) Hilariously bad 2) Nostalgic 3) Both. I occasionally like to watch a SBTB rerun when I catch one. It was part of my youth, and it had it's moments. However, I wouldn't expect a young one nowadays to like it all all. And I understand that completely. I think they have better options on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel.Now, the College Years I think was a much better show. Really, of the three incarnations of Saved by the Bell, that's the one that I would actively enjoy watching. Shame that it only lasted one season, I think it had much better material than the original, or The New Class.

Lets face it, this show isn't very good.I laugh sometimes, usually never, and its really corny, predictable, and everything most mediocre sitcoms are.But for some odd reason, I love watching this show. It's not particularly good, bordering on bad, but I just love the show. Which is why it gets a 6/10.I don't really know...how to explain it...this show, and my affection for it, truly is enigmatic. Well, the only thing that matters is I enjoy the show I suppose. I'd recommend it, if I didn't think people would hate the show. But I like it, so...whatever.

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.
