I created a petition to urge Peacock to bring back every season, every spin-off show, and movies related to “Saved By The Bell". Please sign the petition below if you support our cause.
Just Updated
There are a couple of articles focusing on couples: Zack & Kelly, Slater & Jessie, and even Screech & Lisa. Could someone add ones for Mac and Daisy, Jamie and Lexi, and Aisha and Chloe please?
Hey. I Just wanted to let you all know that I have seen SAVED BY THE BELL: THE COLLEGE YEARS several times (I try to do an entire series rewatch of COLLEGE YEARS every year or so).
I first watched it on HULU and I believe it was true to what we saw when the show aired back in 1993.
But I noticed that first on NETFLIX, and then on PEACOCK, that when I watched it there, I was noticing what seems to be deleted scenes or extended scenes being put back into the show that I have not noticed before. Very small stuff to be sure, I think in the pilot there are two significant scenes probably 30 seconds each restored and I noticed the actual episode for the pilot was longer then it was on HULU.
So if they are indeed putting in 'complete scenes' into the PEACOCK version, well, I am now leaning towards doing a full SBTB rewatch now.
I know we are all stunned and saddened with the cancelation of the Peacock's SAVED BY THE BELL, as it is almost certainly the end of the line of the franchise.
I know we can look back and see where things were done right, done wrong, could have done better. When a franchise is as successful as it was, I think they did just fine. Still, I know a lot of us have ideas and or dreams of what could have been to make it better.
IF I COULD DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT........
If it was clear that in 1992 that Elizabeth Berkley and Tiffani Amber Thiesen wanted off the show for the reasons given, which is totally understandable. I would have started thinking about the next generation and even though the New Class lasted another 5 or 6 years I think, it was clear they never really "caught on".
My answer to this would be, of course, you look at the number of episodes that you have Jessie/Kelly for. Backload them as much as you can, to have them do what they did, and have them go "to the semester at sea" program that they ended up doing to justify them being gone. But by that, you could have them gone in early part of that last season.
I would have then, at that time introduced a wave of characters both at Bayside and at Bayside JR High. You could tie up a loose end of the show, where Zack/Slater/others go to the JR High, meet up with Miss Bliss one more time and take to mentoring a few 8th graders that are going to be coming, as well as some underclassmen at Bayside.
Use a bunch. See what tests well, what the audience reacts to, and then, when Zack and the gang graduated, you have the audience already invested in the new cast of characters. Maybe it would have done better there.
I don't like that they canceled the Revival series so soon. I mean there are reasons,
After all these years, all these years, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS we finally see Jessie and Slater, BACK TOGETHER. They were the 2nd power couple of Bayside behind Zack and Kelly.
We did not see how some of the former characters turned out. Like Tori, Stacy, their collage friends or Jeff (they did mention Patrick Muldoon returning as Jeff in a possibility).
We saw some interest between Mac and Daisy. We want to see them get together, and in homage to the original series, we see them get married.

Did they ever mention how Screech died in The Last Year Dance?
These are why Screech is better then Steve Urkel.
While they are both nerds who are romantically obsessed with a lead girl (Lisa Turtle/Laura Winslow), and would try various methods to get a date with them, Screech showed more self-control and restraint while Steve would go from annoying to desperate.
Screech never barged into the Turtle's home or followed Lisa everywhere she went; while Steve always did, and bordered on the line of stalking.
While they both used pet names even though they did not date, Screech would reluctantly accept Lisa going out with someone else while Steve would follow Laura on her dates and crash them, and whine that she should date him, and go nutty when she would go out with others. Screech did go nutty when Lisa and Zack fell for each other.
Screech eventually let go of his crush on Lisa and accepted being her friend only; Steve never did, and only did so after getting a taste of his own medicine from Myra and eventually began dating her.
There were nice mentions and throwbacks to the old series, in Showdown Zack told Mac and Daisy about all the things he did in Bayside, as did Kelly. In the 2nd season Let the games begin Zack told Mac he lived in Indiana and then Bayside (when the series started out as Good Morning Miss. Bliss), and he did a time out and broke the 4th wall. He did not do that in years.
Not to mention when they reminisced about Screech, and that he became the 1st Mr. Miss. Bayside.
I was thinking about new potential cast members.
Kelly has an absurd amount of brothers and it was mentioned that Slater has a sister who dated Zack. Whether that gets addressed may or may not matter, but they could provide a relative connection to Bayside. This could result in Mac having a familial connection in the form of a cousin and Slater having a niece or nephew who comes to Bayside, in need of his guidance? Thoughts?
I just came onto this wiki to say that zack is cute but uh this is like hardcore theories and everything lol
Did you know Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski-Morris) shares similarities with Baywatch actress Kelly Packard.
*Both were born in California (Tiffani was born in Long Beach and Kelly was born in Glendale)
*Both competed in beauty pageants (Tiffani competed in Miss Junior America beauty pageant in 1987 and won and Kelly was crowned in the Miss California American Pre-Teen 1987)
*Both appeared in different episodes of "Blossom"
*Both became famous with roles in two Saturday Morning teen sitcoms created by Peter Engel (Tiffani played Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell and Kelly played Tiffani Smith on California Dreams).
*Both went other to juicier roles after the end of Saved by the Bell and California Dreams (Tiffiani played vixen Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills, 90210, while Kelly played lifeguard April Giminski on Baywatch)
Season 2 of the revival series begins November. So far, a few things will happen Daisy meets a guy on the student council, Mac tries to step out of his father's shadow, while some connections happen between Jessie and Slater. But I hold on to my theories. Like possible romances between Jessie and Slater (Slater helps Jessie with her divorce, so maybe potential romance rekindling) and Mac and Daisy (the next Zack and Kelly with a little bit of Rich and Dana from Step by Step).
Anyone else has theories and any knowledge of Season 2?
In an interview about Jeffrey Hunter, there was mention of a possibility of Jeff returning to the series. If that happens I see two ways for that.
1. Some time after Kelly ditched him, Jeff finally saw the error of his ways and became a better person, and will be attempting it make amends or peace with Zack and Kelly.
2. Jeff is still the same slime he was back in the day, and will have selfish intentions for the group.
Hey guys did Kelly ever kiss Screech?? We have a huge debate here!!
