Peter Engel (https://www.mandatory.com/culture/1164261-peter-engel-talks-new-saved-bell-tell-book) you could say, was the closest equivalent to Dan Schneider (https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/08/magazine/08NICKELODEON.t.html) during the '90s (https://forum.dvdtalk.com/tv-talk/620289-teen-tweener-shows-better-now-than-90s.html). What I mean is that they were pretty much the most high profile executive producers (https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/comment/4974451#Comment_4974451) of teen sitcoms (https://www.collegetimes.com/entertainment/8-things-youve-forgotten-tv-show-hang-time-148809) of the era. They in a nutshell, specialized in producing (on a fast turn-around schedule) manufactured "tweencoms" that cast pretty teen actors to be idols with tons of merchandise and even a singing career and. And they prioritized the marketing aspect over the storytelling and character development.

Besides of course, Saved by the Bell (https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1602150/the-big-regret-saved-by-the-bell-ep-peter-engel-has-about-the-franchise)/Saved by the Bell: The New Class (https://web.archive.org/web/20190224073154/http://www.savedbythebellreviewed.com/category/all-the-new-class-episodes/the-new-class-recaps/), Engel (https://www.thewrap.com/peter-engel-hang-time-saved-by-bell) had California Dreams (https://web.archive.org/web/20181224202102/http://www.californiadreamsreviewed.com/), Hang Time (https://www.sportingnews.com/us/other-sports/news/hang-time-tv-show-episodes-wiki-saved-by-the-bell/1ojxt6m2x5bap1ts25blh4vcw9), City Guys, and his non-NBC (http://culturecrossfire.com/movies-tv/remembering-tnbc/) sitcoms USA High (https://rockinatusahigh.tumblr.com/post/164224673402/peter-engels-forgotten-children-obscure-teen/amp) and Malibu, CA (https://variety.com/1997/tv/news/tribune-nbc-ready-malibu-1116680100/). Just like Peter Engel (https://shmaltzandmenudo.wordpress.com/2016/04/12/tidlatv-episode-28-recycled-plots/), it's perhaps easy to argue that Dan Schneider's (https://www.deviantart.com/toonsjazzlover/journal/Discussing-Dan-Schneider-Part-One-826069061) Nickelodeon shows (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GahJBmRhe8) (Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious, Sam & Cat, Henry Danger, Game Shakers) were also derivative and got worse (https://terribletvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Sam_%26_Cat) and worse (https://www.reddit.com/r/nickelodeon/comments/5g1ip5/man_when_did_dan_schneider_lose_his_touch/) with each installment.

Engel is better because Saved By The Bell was his best work behind the camera

Engel. Saved by the bell defined the 90's. I am also a fan of his other shows like California Dreams City Guys USA High Malibu CA. I also do like Drake and Josh from Schneider

I never got into the shows Dan Schneider created, but he was good in Head of the Class. I used to watch Peter Engel's TNBC Saturday morning block when it had Saved by the Bell: the New Class, Hang Time, One World, and City Guys. But today I have no interest in Saved by the Bell, generally a dumb show I don't care to watch anymore. Its theme song is good though.
