    Whether this will be any good is anyone's guess, but I will definitely check it out. I mean I liked the college years so it stands to reason I'll at least partly enjoy this one.

    Ok so Kelly and Zach's son and Tori's sons are the main kids? Interesting. Hope we don't get Screech's kid.

    Peacock's Saved By the Bell Reboot Is 'Edgier, Hipper,' Says Mario Lopez

    Mario Lopez believes the Peacock revival of Saved by the Bell is "edgier and hipper" than the original, but still "a lot of fun."

    "It's not shot in front of a studio audience. It's shot on film this time and Tracy Wigfield, who's the showrunner who did 30 Rock ... she's there this time around," Lopez told The John Roa Show on iHeartRadio.

    "It's a little edgier, not like dirty by any means, but a little edgier and hipper and a lot of fun. We have a great young cast. And some of the old cast is back. And it's pretty clever the way they've sort of set the characters to where they are now."

    I liked what we've seen.....till this. Not sure I like it now, it feels awkward and forced.

    Looks like it'll be every bit as nostalgically cheesy and enjoyable as Cobra Kai for all the same reasons. I just hope this one doesn't pretend it's actually a 'serious' quality show like Cobra Kai inexplicably does, though.

    I hope Belding gets at least a cameo. And I hope someone just states outright that Screech is definitively dead because he was super murdered, does the fourth wall timeout, and tells the audience "so stop asking if he's ever showing up... he's not". I'm indifferent to how or if they'll bother addressing Lisa's absence.

    I feel like Cobra Kai had an organic flow to bringing up things from the past but this feels more obvious and forced, kind of in your face. We'll see how it goes. I had my issues with the trailer for CK and I love the show now, so.

    Kind of wish they’d go along with the joke that Screech’s actor “died”, but just have that apply to the character for laughs and giggles. Could even go as far as copy-and-paste the hoax story where he was decapitated in a motorcycle accident in New Zealand.

    Just wondering how or if they will address Screech and Lisa's absence.

    Saved by the Bell Reboot Announces Lark Voorhies' Surprise Return

    In a shocking announcement, Peacock's Saved by the Bell reboot revealed that original franchise star, Lark Voorhies, will return to reprise her role as Lisa Turtle.

    According to Entertainment Weekly, Voorhies' Lisa Turtle will be a fashionista when fans tune into the revival. A statement from Peacock states, "when the show picks up with Lisa, she is thriving with a successful career in fashion." It is not known at this time how many episodes Voorhies will appear in. With her return, the only original cast member not confirmed for an appearance on the new Saved by the Bell is Dustin Diamond.

    Man they must have tried hard to find some one that tone deaf.
    Original is a classic.
