Just curious how many of you watched the show during it's original run. I did :) I even graduated from high school the same year they did :)

Yes indeed, I was a huge fan of the show during its original run. I watched it every Saturday morning on NBC, and also saw the occasional prime time episode as well. (didn't they air some eps on Friday and Sunday nights?) The show was very popular at my elementary/middle schools, and I'd always discuss the latest episodes with my buddies.

I had a huge crush on Kelly Kapowski...and Kelly Bundy from Married With Children. Naturally, I was excited to see Tiffani guest star on MWC for one episode alongside Christina Applegate. :p At the time, I was also crushing on a girl named Kelly at my school... O_o

and

watching the graduation episode and the college pilot back to back the night the pilor aired.

Wow, another older SBTB fan. From my various lurking on here, it seems most of the fans these days are younger who have discovered the episodes during their youth through re-runs.

Anyways, I was about 3-4 years behind the age of the SBTB gang. Which means that I was a full-blown Saturday morning TV-aholic when the show first came out. So I got hooked, and then grew up watching over the next few years, even as my Saturday morning TV viewing decreased.

I'm only 18...in January I'll be 19. I'm younger than most of you guys, but I still watched through the original airings. The SBTB gang is about 11 years older than me? Yup, because I graduated this year and they graduated in 1993. ;) :D But I still remember watching the episodes for the first time as if it were yesterday.

:lol: You're making me feel old I'm 30, and I guess I am the same age they were since we graduated high school the same year.

In real life Mark-Paul is only 6 months, and 6 days older than me :)

Yup, I watched SBTB during it's original run- I even remember when "GMMB" was on Disney.

No I didn't watch on it's original run, back then I was a cartoon freak and back when NBC used to actually have cartoons on Sat morning I usually would watch those and turn the tv off when SBTB would come on. But I do remember watching it when I think they first started showing it on TBS, back when TBS used to do that 5:05 to 5:35 thing. I remember it used to come on for an hour.

I remember when it came to TBS...the 5 after and 35 after thing is funny. I completely forgot about that. :lol: Didn't Full House come on after it for an hour and then after that, Family Matters or something like that?

Yeah, I remember Family Matters coming on after it for a while, but the most recent show I remember following it was Charles in Charge so I think they replaced FM for CIC after a while.

Hmm I don't remember Charles in Charge coming on in the evening on TBS. I remember it coming on USA in the morning...:confused:

I sometimes watched the original run except the pre-season 1 episodes with Hayley Mills as Miss Bliss.

I was pretty young when it was shown for the first time (I was 6 in 1993), but I do remember my sister watching it (she was 13 in 1993). I even remember buying her a poster of the people on the show for her birthday one year.

Oh, but it's a kid show....it was on the Saturday morning line-up. I was about 4 when I started watching it.

I have very vivid memories of watching "Mystery Weekend" and "School Song" on TV when I was around nine or ten in probably 1993ish. It could've been a bit eariler or a bit later, but I certainly remember watching it on one of the UKs main channels and not on Sky Digital...

But mostly I got hooked on the show when Nick UK began airing reruns a couple of years ago. I remebered seeing the show as kid and how much I'd liked it back then and tuned in. I got addicted right away.

I watched the original show probably beginning with it's third season. Then when it first came to TBS, I watched it all the time. I even taped it and watched it during the day, catching up on the episodes I missed from the first couple seasons. I remember my older sister telling me about the "Miss Bliss" season, and eventually I saw those episodes on TBS.

I remember watching (and taping) the graduation episode along with "The College Years" pilot. During the 1993-94 season, I watched "The New Class" on Saturdays and "The College Years" on Tuesdays. I still remember my sister telling me (from a magazine) the The New Class was coming back for a second season but there would be a few cast changes. I also remeber each season, excited about seeing which cast members left and who the new characters were (What can I say, I liked the cast changes). I watched "The New Class" in reruns on USA.

I quit watching "The New Class" during it's fifth season. That was Liz Miller's first season and Ryan's last. I saw the final episode, but it wasn't very good. That Tony character sucked.
