Saved by the Bell

I've always loved the original series and the college years series that followed. Sadly this new series is too modern and cool for me. However I'm 38 now so let's face it I'm not the target market for this show. I'll stick with the originals.

So I'm a huge fan of the original show. However I knew this wouldn't be the original. If you can't get passed that, don't just give 1 star reviews because it's not that. In its own its a decent enough show. The show uses a lot of sarcasm, and I'm a fan of that.

This show isn't meant to be the same as the original. It's more satirical and introspective. It makes fun of how ridiculous the plot and storylines were while laughing at itself for even exists.

I don't think the pilot for the show was good. The only reason I watched past the first episode was because I was bored and didn't have anything else to watch, but I'm glad I did. Not only was the second episode stronger but I found myself laughing as each episode went on. It took a minute to find it's groove, but I find it enjoyable. While very different from the original, this show still manages to show it's heart as time goes on. I think if this show was made earlier it would've fit well on alongside shows like Awkward and Faking It. It's not without it's flaws but I wouldn't mind seeing more of it.

Corny? Definitely. Cheesy? Absolutely. Funny? Of course. So were all the previous incarnations going back to Good Morning Miss Bliss. 11 Year old me still enjoys the 2020 iteration. (Although not a fan of the new theme)
