Melissa McCarthy's new comedy, The Boss, arrives in theaters on Friday. Given McCarthy's string of box office successes, the movie seems primed to be a hit.

Late-night host Jimmy Fallon isn't afraid to admit that Saved By The Bell is his personal guilty pleasure and he wants to see the cast reunite.
Saved By The Bell began as a Disney Channel sitcom called Good Morning, Miss Bliss. It revolves around a sensible teacher (Haley Mills) who instructs students like Zack (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), "Screech" (Dustin Diamond), Lisa (Lark Voorhies), Nikki (Heather Hopper), and Mikey (Max Battimo). (Some notable students in the pilot are played by Jaleel White, Brian Austin Green and Jonathan Brandis.) The school's principal is Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) and the maintenance supervisor is Mylo Williams (T. K. Carter).
The show was cancelled after 13 episodes and NBC acquired the rights to revamp the series. A few characters were kept (Zack, Screech, Lisa, and Mr. Belding) and the new show, Saved By The Bell, began focusing on the students. Students Kelly (Tiffani Thiessen) and "Jessie" (Elizabeth Berkley...
