Surely most everyone has seen this show at least nine times. I know of only one friend of mine who has never laid eyes on Zack Morris and crew and it breaks my heart. Alas, when I look back on shows like this (and the other TNBC hits like California Dreams, Hang Time, and even the short-lived Boogie's Diner [Yeah, it's a real show. Wiki it.]) I can't help but wonder how many people, like me, went into high school expecting it to be totally different than it truly was.Why wasn't there a burger joint right next to my school we could all go to willy nilly? Why wasn't I in a love/hate relationship with my principal as he constantly caught me in the midst of shenanigans. Truth be told I only spoke to the principal a handful of times. During the summer I never got to work at a Beach Club. EVER. My campus never struck oil. Hell, even the semi-realitic option, my school having a radio station, wasn't the case.
And for some reason I actually believed some of it to be true. See, when I was young I was followed all of those teen shows. I watched theme very Saturday morning. And as I wasn't in high school yet, who was I to say it wasn't the case? You see, I'm gullible. I believe everything at first. It's sad, but true.
The sad truth is I WISH it was like it was on Saved By The Bell. My high school experience was FAR less entertaining than the hijinx we got from Zack, Kelly, Screech, Slater, Lisa, and the chick from Showgirls. And Belding. And Max The Waiter.
Their version of college was even badass. Man.
Alright, I should get ready for work.

I was never a big fan of Saved By The Bell, but as you know I'm a huge fan of Degrassi, and certainly my school experience was not remotely as entertaining & crazy.
I still don't understand how anyone who has seen Saved By The Bell doesn't love it. You're weird, Tim.
