From adultswim.com:

Adult Swim has done it again! Following hot on the heels of Fox's Family Guy, Saved By The Bell has been pulled from cancellation with an order for 30 all new episodes taking place at Bayside High.

"We were ecstatic when we saw the early numbers on Saved By the Bell on Adult Swim," said Matt Laster, the VP of Turner Entertainment's newly created 80's Reclamation Department. "We knew this had the potential to be big, but we never thought it would be this big. The fans have really shown their support and come out in droves on the adultswim.com website."

According to Laster, the new series is still in development but he did say that almost all of the original cast would be returning, minus "Showgirls" star Elizabeth Berkley. The series will follow the events after Saved By the Bell: The New Class and find Screech as the new principal of Bayside and a retired Mr. Belding as the proprietor of the Max, the hangout that the Saved By the Bell gang frequented. Screech is overwhelmed by the new group of students and puts out a call for help, and soon, all of the old regulars are back at Bayside. Laster would not elaborate on the status of Zack and Kelly's relationship, though the couple were last seen walking down the aisle.

"I've spoken to the crew and they really can't wait to get back together," said Laster. "We think this will be a fun and exciting new direction for Adult Swim and we can't wait to find even more great 80's comedies for Adult Swim."

It sounds like a joke, yet apeshit crazier things have happened. I mean, "80's Reclamation Department?" And this was all thrown together after a week of being on Adult Swim?

Thoughts?

they should really just all come back for high school, and totally ignore the fact that they did all that college business and are now in their 30s. That's the only way I could picture this being a good idea.

I hope they can get Dustin Diamond for this--do you think he's available?

Fuck Saved by the Bell. Bring "Blossom", "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago?", "Adventures of Pete and Pete", and "Ghostwriter" back.

[thrillho]

Fuck Saved by the Bell.

Bring "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago?" back.

SERIOUSLY.
only, the cheif died a few years ago and she's all that mattered. unless you're talking about reruns, then i'd be cool with that. carmen sandiego was one of the best kids shows ever.

I owe all of my world geography knowledge to obsessively playing the "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" computer game when I was 8. I'd be cool with re-runs, but really...if they did bring it back in a new form it would also be cool. Anything to get kids learning. It was only about five years ago that I realized how much that damn computer game taught me (ie. someone told me that the majority of people didn't know where Iraq was).

That's the first time I've heard someone say that in a long while.

[Hewletts Daughter]

possibly the best episode of SBtB is on in like, well, now. The one where the Zack Attack forms. If you do not watch this and get a tear in your eye, you are a fucking heartless robot.

I thought I was the only one who knew about this show.

Anybody else notice that Zack, Screech, Lisa, and Mr. Belding were living a happy life in Indiana for their junior high school years, then all transplanted to California for high school? What happened there?

[Undercooked Sausage]

"did you see the lights?" "how could I? I was blinded by them." that's a hoax anyway, no way would they make a 30 episode committment that quickly.

I was just reading up on STTB. Apparently it used to be called Good Morning, Miss Bliss? WTF?

I remember those OLD OLD ones. As a kid, I never noticed, but later on it hit me.

I heard AC, the real AC, was castrated. He may not work as the School hunk anymore.
