Review by DKosty123

Saved by the Bell

1/10

Not Saved By The Screech

I know this show has fans, but as you can see from my vote, not me. Whenever I watched this program it appeared to me that it could be cute but not funny. What I saw with every character on the show was that they were all drawn as stereotypes of students. I thought all the characters were too plastic and the actors & actresses playing the character were nothing special.

Each show seemed extremely predictable to the point that this could have been a 1950's sitcom. While I have seen worse sit-Com's, to me other than My Mother The Car, & Happy Hour, this one has little that I like about it.

I used to kid people who watched it that the show should have been called Saved By The Screech since his character was the only one who had any spontaneous action in the show. The only thing was his playing off the cardboard stereotypes around him really wasn't even enough to save it for me.

Teenage comedy is something that is never done real well, but to me anyone who thinks this one is funny should pick up on some episodes of the series HEY DUDE which was running on Nick during this era. To me, even that show is a step above this one.
