For fans of particular TV shows, Wikis are a means of making sure everything you love about a series is out there for the world to discover. It helps others learn about the show, while simultaneously providing a wealth of detail you may have overlooked. And while messing with Wikipedia is kind of annoying in general, what’s happening to the Saved By The Bell Wiki (http://savedbythebell.wikia.com/wiki/Saved_by_the_Bell_Wiki) is a thing of genuine beauty. Some good samaritan has taken it upon themselves to start improving the show by making it the darkest, most existential howl of despair ever seen in a multi-cam teen sitcom. It starts in little ways: For example, in the description page for the season one episode “Screech’s Woman,” everything is normal, right until you hit the bottom of the page, where the “Quotes” section lists a single sample:
Screech: I think we are just insects, we live a bit and then die and that’s the lot. There’s no mercy in things. There’s not even a Great Beyond. There’s nothing.
