What SAVED BY THE BELL taught me!

[LeftNutOfGowd]

Everytime I watch an episode of Saved by the Bell I see that E/I icon at the bottom of the screen. That, of course, indicates that it's an educational program. Yet...after all these years I'm still not sure what I was supposed to learn from this show. That is why I decided to make a list of everything I did learn and see if there is anything there to convince me that SBTB deserves to be an educational show.

What I learned from Saved by the Bell:

1. No one will find it disturbing that SOMEHOW I managed to get poster of my school crush.
2. My friends will kill my pet Lizard.
3. High School has a population of 20 students.
4. All my teachers are either deaf, blind, or an annoying fat guy!
5. My friends will be in all my classes.
6. I'll have enough time to participate in every school activity and sport.
7. The Principal will not only be a sub for my class, but will trust me to install a CD player in his expensive car and deliver his baby when I'm trapped in the elevator with his wife.
8. If I get in trouble enough times my mother will have her own parking space.
9. I can hire an actor to pretend to be my father.
10. I can throw birthday parties in the Prinicpal's office.
11. The entire school will go out of their way to teach me a lesson.
12. My enemy and I will become best friends.
13. Caffeine pills will turn me into a crazy person.
14. My 15 yr old girlfriend will dump me for a college student.
15. At 17 I can go on a vacation to Hawaii by myself and hook up with a young MILF.
16. Even though I'm a D-student I can still get a 1500 on my SATs and get accepted into Harvard.
17. When I get to college I will finally realized that I'm hispanic!

Feel free to add more!

Such a good show. Zack was always scheming.

19: No matter what time of day, you will always find the entire school hanging out at The Max.

At least it was a show about morals and not growing up too fast. Look at all the shows today, back then they didn't use sex and violence to appeal to kids. They taught you something without boring you, same thing boy meets world and all those shows did. May be stupid to you now, but not growing up

never to buy fake gold graduation rings

I totally agree. I have a conversation about this with people all the time. We had soooo many shows growing up that basically taught kids valuable lessons and morals.

Saved By the Bell
Fresh Prince
Full House
Family Matters
Boy Meets World
Step by Step

and on and on.

The TV for kids today is really pathetic.

[HyperTek]

^true, all you see today is sex and homosexual activity and kids with cell phones driving mommy and daddy paid benzes.

i remember seein a clip from jimmy fallon where he had zack morris on there and hes tryin to do a reunion. i cant find the clip they must of took it down from youtube.

[drift freaq]

Nothing I never watched Saved by the Bell, because I felt it was a lame show.

Now Fresh Prince of Bell Air? That was cool.

+1000000

Tv for kids nowadays is extreme garbage....

[LifePlazaCircuit]

kelly yes please

[HyperTek]

if this show came out today, it would at least have one gay couple =(

[murda-c]

I think there may be a disproportionate number of gays on teenage TV these days. It's like 1 out of every 3 people on tv is gay. Which is weird because it seems that only 10% of the population is gay.

Then again it's probably on par for the people making the shows, so it's not really that weird.

[bboyswoosh87]

I lol'd so hard when i read this, haha. Its true tho

[dert420sx]

ahh the memories this has just brought back! lol....

22. in high school, there's a day where the students become teachers and principals. when zack became prinicpal he had a sweeeet guns n' roses poster in the office.


23. i also learned not to let my gf become a model because they'd ship her to france for a week.

[ESmorz]

if this show came out today, it would at least have one gay couple =(

Yeah. We should take all of them collareds and women out of tv too.

:dead:

[exitspeed]

Yeah. We should take all of them collared people and women out of tv too.

It would be colored...

I don't think he was saying to take them off, just saying much how times are different.

A little defensive there huh?

[ESmorz]

Collared Greens. The Racist Vegetable.

^true, all you see today is sex and homosexual activity


Two posts about the same thing in a thread with 20 posts. Cool.

A failed teenage sitcom career leads to a failed Game Show Network career.

[Flicktitty]

[J90lude]

i honestly feel the same way.. stuff is slowly getting more acceptance now a days that its ok. Things are not shown as being taboo any more because media shows who is doing it *like celebs gettin knocked up by losers etc * and its ok for it to happen etc.

Do they still show SBTB on tv? what channel?

[FRpilot]

if saved by the bell still was airing today, they would probably keep up with pop culture and what's new such as gay and lesbian couples, goths, skinny jeans, etc.

i guess we have southpark for that, except for the fact that southpark isn't meant to be educational like saved by the bell

[VIPDRFT]

South Park is pretty educational IMO.

[dert420sx]

...

Do they still show SBTB on tv? what channel?


yup.... 9:30 am on KDOC.

Schedule (http://www.kdoctv.net/Schedule2.html)

[BustedS13]
