Tiffani Thiessen Admits She Never Saw A Single Episode Of "The New Class"

[Brian Damage]

Tiffani Thiessen dodged a serious bullet ... 'cause the former "Saved By the Bell" goddess tells us she never brought herself to watch one single episode of the abomination that was "The New Class."

If only the rest of us had that kind of will power ...

Tiffani -- who was out in NY yesterday -- also told us she was flattered when Justin Bieber rocked a Kelly Kapowski shirt to an award show in Canada last year ... saying, "I highly doubt he's ever seen the show ... but I thought it was super cute."

As for "The New Class" ... seriously, that show was terrible.

I have never saw a single episode either.I am shocked that it lasted that long.Wow! Had a huge crush on Kelly back in the day

My niece used to watch the original show back when she was young, so I had a passing familiarity with it. I remember the laugh track was so loud it really irritated me. They also seemed to think it was necessary to use it after nearly every single line of dialogue.

Am I to assume that "Screech" stayed on as a student teacher or something for the spinoff (I see he's pictured in a suit and tie)? And that the principal was the only other returning character?

Screech joined in season 2 (since he was doing "The College Years" during the first season of "The New Class"). He was Mr. Belding's Administrative Assistant. I think it was supposed to be a temporary thing at first but he never left. Zack, Lisa and Slater all made guest appearances through out the show. Mr. Belding was the only character to appear in the whole show. Mr. Belding and Screech became a wacky duo and Screech got so much more annoying towards the end it's embarrassing to watch.

The picture posted in this thread is from season two.

The New Class would have only made sense if the Principal was the star of the show. LOL

I want to clarify something I said. Zack, Lisa and Slater all guest starred in one episode together. Slater came back a couple seasons later and guest starred in an episode. That's it for their guest appearances. Reading it the way I originally wrote it would make someone think those characters appeared here and there throughout the run of the series and that is not so.

Were they still in college when they made a guest appearance?

[catlover79]

I think they were already done with college by then, but I'm not positive.

They appeared after "The College Years" was over, in a season two episode. Although I would imagine the characters were still in college, if that's what you meant.

Slater even asks Zack "So how's the Mrs.?" Zack replies with a smile and "Good." I think. It's been a while since I've seen it.

Slater reappears in the season four finale when The Max burns down. He shares memories of The Max, which obviously, include clips from the original Saved by the Bell.

I was in college by time the new class started in 1993 so I never saw the show. I did watch the college years because I was freshman just like Zac and the crew and it came on Tuesday Nights on NBC

I don't really see why she would watch it. Not because the show was supposedly bad (I never saw it, either), but she had no involvement with it, so I don't blame her for not watching it.

Ahhhh, I must have missed that. I DID see the episode where Mrs. Belding made an appearance. I'm glad she was once again played by Louan Gideon, who had given birth in the elevator in an episode of the original show.
