Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

rockmt It has been over a decade since I last watched Saved by the Bell: The New Class but remembering how I grew up watching the hilarious series, I was not able to hesitate borrowing the DVD tapes from the library to watch again.After watching several episodes of seasons 3, 4, and 5 again, the first thing I have to say about this series is that true enough, the plots and story lines cannot match the original SBTB series. The acting was very wooden at times, the scripts likewise seemed too scripted, the story lines seemed rehashed from the original series, and there weren't as many serious issues the characters dealt with as compared to the original series that hadn't been covered already. All of this made SBTBNC rather average.Yet there were some things that made SBTBNC very worthwhile to watch. The fashion was definitely better than the original series though that's my opinion because I was teenager myself during SBTBNC's years. Seasons 4 and 5 also hit well with the stepbrother duo of Ryan and Nicky and the hot tempered Maria also being a delight to watch. This series also branches out of the high school and shows what teenagers can do outside of school such as obtaining part time jobs, doing community service at a hospital, and travelling (all courtesy of a good economy during the Clinton years). Surprisingly, the odd and unlikely duo of Mr. Belding and Screech also helped keep the series alive.One may wonder why Screech is not in college but working as Mr. B's administrative assistant and that is because his days as a Bayside student prepared him for this. After being tormented, cheated, used, bullied, mocked, and ignored throughout high school, Screech very likely felt like an insecure loser, and this was his opportunity to relive high school and try his luck again. His emotional outbursts (though sometimes overacted), his obsession with being the save-the-day know-it-all, his off-campus ventures such as an out of control lottery ticket gambling habit and balloon business (season 4) to a second job as mall security guard (season 5) also proved that Screech was more insecure than ever and was trying to come out as a hero and overcome his perception of himself as a loser. Yet there were times that Screech would cunningly outsmart the students or even Mr. Belding himself which showed that he did shed some of the his old timid self. This same goes for Mr. Belding who is always friendly to his students but by this late a time is clearly suffering some sort of midlife crisis and tries to deny that he is getting old by refusing to wear glasses (season 4), trying to prove that he has special abilities in all areas (running a hospital experiment, taking ballet classes, running outside businesses at Palisades Mall, and living in a mock space shuttle) and desperately trying to be the best mentor and friend to his students. Underlying the comedy, the theatrics, and the overacting,these two characters reveal very serious, scary, and at times depressing issues that have to do more with life after high school and sends a potent message to young viewers.All in all, the series is not as bad as one thinks.

insomniac_rod I don't know if anybody else noticed that the episodes in this sitcom were THE EXACT SAME situations as in the original "Saved By The Bell". Yes, the same situations with some slight changes.Heck they could even put more effort in the new characters! most of them were carbon copies of the original cast members. Even Weasel is a sad attempt of Screech. But whatever, I must admit I liked this show for only one reason: NATALIA CIGLIUTI. She was smoking hot, beautiful, cute, and had good acting skills.She's by far the hottest member on the series. Yes, she was that beautiful. I wonder why she isn't more famous. But that's another thing.This new class had it's moments but never matched the charisma of the original series, but on it's positive side, it had elements of 90's pop culture that weren't good capitalized by the original. I really liked how they displayed most of the early 90's craziness.

Catherine_Grace_Zeh I used to watch this show when I was growing up. Anytime it enters my mind, I remember it vaguely. If you ask me, it was a good show. When I think about it, I remember the opening sequence and theme song vaguely, too. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I'm not sure if I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

thespark215 This was a mistake from the very begining! Just a replacement of the old cast. What i can't get over though is Screech. His VOICE!! WTF is that about? He had a normal male voice squeeky only here and there, in the last year of the original show and in the college years. SO WHY ON EARTH DID HE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THAT GOD AWFUL VOICE IN THE NEW CLASS?!! Oh it makes me even madder when i think about it. gotta go before i through something!
