This show was one of those rainy day holiday programs along with such other classics such as the original SBTB and (the superior)California Dreams.Even though we were effectively served up the same old nonsense each and every episode (normally Screech helping the students, being sacked and then reinstated with Mr Belding giving us a dose of his fatherly advise on how honesty is the best policy etc etc..) somehow my friends and I enjoyed this show...The main thing that separates this from the original was the fact that in the uk they broadcast out of sequence and you'd never see the same cast two days in a row and they'd age up and down so it was a lot harder to like the leads - except Dennis Haskins who probably looks exactly the same now - 10 years later.If I had to use three words to describe it they would be : Corny, Predictable and Classic.

If the original Saved By the Bell was stupid fluff, then this show is idiotic junk food for kids who had no taste. Why is that? Because it was the exact same show, only with different actors and names for the characters! You had a new schemer, a new bad boy, a new ditz, a new love interest, and a new dork! I think his name was Moose. And if I'm right...MOOSE?! What the hell? I'm reminded of a Seinfeld episode where Elaine meets the bizarro versions of her friends. Kramer's bizarro guy is named Feldman. I mean, Feldman? Please! Oh, AND MOOSE? What is going on in those producers' heads, anyway? Then they somehow convinced that Mr. Belding fella to come back. I don't know how much they gave him, but it could not possibly have been enough. Then they even managed to pull Screech back into the mix! And sorry, but when Screech is no longer a skinny little guy but someone who is taller than Belding, the annoying voice and clumsy antics just aren't funny anymore (if they were at all). I would like to apologize to the guy who played him, however. I've seen his stand-up comedy and it's obvious how much he hates these shows now. Props to ya, buddy! Anyway, they cancelled this show pretty fast, because everyone had moved on to Beverly Hills 90210 or the Smurfs or something. I don't know. But these characters were not interesting in the slightest, and none of them could act. Especially the bad boy/idiot who wore the leather jacket. He went out with the love interest and eventually they broke up in a scene that's so high school theater it made me want to gag. And I don't know what these kids went on to do afterwards, but I hope it was an Ovaltine commercial or work on the radio. They deserve it! 1/4 stars

I've only seen a few episode's so maybe my judgment might not make much of a difference but this show sucked! This is the fourth (and so far the last) show in the SBTB series and it was perhaps worse than "Good Morning Miss Bliss" and that's saying a lot. Once you've gotten used to the cast of SBTB you must make a great follow-up but in the same case as in the College Years they didn't try to and that's why this show sucks! Ignore this show and just watch SBTB. Sure this show might have lasted longer than SBTB but then again NBC doesn't seem to be canceling any of it's Saturday morning line up, especially since nobody is watching. Why doesn't NBC just give cartoons again?!?!

This was a good show, with great characters. I especially liked Katie (red hair, dates Nicky in the final season, played by Lindsey McKeon?). There were only a few characters that got on my nerves, they were Maria Lopez, RJ Collins, and Vicki Needleman. And another thing that bothered me was that there were so many recycled stories - e.g. Lindsey and Ryan's break-up was pure Kelly-and-Zack of the original series, when Maria started smoking pot it was another Jessie-and-painkillers thing, when Lindsey thought Ryan was going out with Rachel it was just like Snow White and the Eight Dorks from the original series. Oh, and just one more thing that bothered EVERYONE - changes! There were SIXTEEN main students in total! They only explained about two - Lindsey and Tommy. And they only explained a few new people! I got used to watching Lindsey, Ryan, Tommy, Rachel, RJ, and Maria, but then they suddenly disappeared. But it was a great show apart from all those things, and I love the episode where Lisa, Zack, and Slater come back. I give this a B+.
