What do you mean nostalgia? You’re telling me this show doesn’t still hold up?
No guys, I think they’re on to something. I have never understood the love for this show. Perhaps I was just too young to relate to high school problems in 1994 (I was 5 by the way). Since that is likely the case perhaps my rose colored glasses can’t even spin “Saved by the Bell” into something I want to watch on MTV2 in the middle of the day. I think some of the love for the program may have started out as irony but people just forgot that and started actually liking the show again. I’m not here to tell you what to like, you can do what you want. I would say the acting on this show can be judged on their post SBTB work on “Showgirls” and “H8ters”.
(sigh) and of course haters will also hate.
I spared you a picture of Screech doing porn. You should be thanking me. Oddly enough (speaking about actors from this show) I still see Leah Remini and think of her as “that girl from the beach episodes of “Saved by the Bell”. That’s just a throw away aside. You don’t have to pay too much attention to it. That statement is a lot like the college seasons or the new class. Just don’t pay any attention to it.
Let’s dive into the characters shall we? Zach Morris and A.C. Slater were pals. Like teenage boys tend to do, their friendship had ups and downs because of testosterone driven competition. Sadly for little miss Kelly Kapowski her polish behind is the prize. Of course the blonde handsome one eventually wins over the dream girl. Slater finally settles for the less attractive brain Jessie. She ends up being a stripper so it’s cool. That leaves the super popular Lisa to never sleep with Screech. This is sounding a lot like “That 70’s Show” when you replace the names. Like FEZ, I’ll never know why Screech was allowed in the gang. Whatever we had mainly sexy teens doing sexy things; loving, losing and does it get any better?
I don't see how.
The real star of the show (to me and my friends who yell “HEY HEY HEY! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE” at each other) is Prinicipal Belding. The man had no time for these kid’s shenanigans but he was always there to help out. He had to put up with more than most men would have. I mean he got dunked in a dunk tank by Zach’s dad for god sake.
It appears here though he's trying to be Zach's daddy.
I know this is short but I’ve recently been told that people don’t like reading anymore so my usual 1000 words has been cut exactly in half and I told myself I’d stick to that limit. So I’ll go ahead and recommend the show if you’re in the mood for some corn ball Saturday morning teen show. And why wouldn’t you be?
Right?
