The biggest problem with Saved By The Bell is that it has no idea if it wants to be for fans of the original series, now in their late 30s and 40s.

The relative praise of "for a Saved by the Bell reboot, it's pretty good!" has been fairly earned. Still, a show about the subtle patronization of lowered expectations shouldn't be aspiring to little more than exactly that.

The returning cast fits the new mood ably. The younger players are first-rate - even better than one might notice at first, given the general air of nuttiness.
November 24, 2020
A masterful love letter to the original series while presenting a more meaningful, relevant story that holds up all on its own.
November 24, 2020
Not only an irreverent, immensely enjoyable blast from the past, but it's also a worthy successor to the original series.

For all that I've gone on about the smart casting and careful structural strategizing done by Wigfield and her team, I've neglected to hammer home the real selling point of this series which is, it is amazingly, absurdly funny.

Could there have been a more organic way to bring SBTB up to date? Why not simply remake Bayside as a real, diverse school whose student body isn't so wealthy and culturally homogenous?

Though it deserves props for really going for it in a lot of ways, this Saved by the Bell still makes you wonder why it even exists.

The "human cartoon" approach to sitcoms that 30 Rock and Great News had is a great match for Wigfield's take on Saved by the Bell, which fondly skewers the tropes of the original while recycling them with a self-aware wink.

Here we are, in true Zack Morris and Mac Morris fashion, pulling off the kookiest scheme of all: "Saved by the Bell" is now good.
November 24, 2020
"Saved by the Bell" is a throwback that looks forward, embracing the past while living in the now. And it shows that you can teach the old school some new tricks.

Saved by the Bell is surprisingly well-written, genuinely funny, and heartfelt. The new characters are actually well-rounded and can carry the show on their own with very little support from the original cast.
