I'm afraid this original class will be aired in low publicity because, right after the 20th Anniversary Reunion incident, the brawl, between normal fans and mental disabled fans, cannot end at all.

The mental disabled fans of the original class do not like the original class continuing its appraisal because they appraised too much difficulty too fast at the same time.

mets82 · 03-27-2014, 03:49 PM

I remember around 1991 and 1992 that Saved by the Bell was huge. It seemed like it was on all the time.

What exactly does this have to do w/ the various local stations that aired Saved by the Bell when it first entered syndication!?

irehtman · 03-27-2014, 05:33 PM

It was largely popular back in 1991 and 1992, but now it will not get some more popularity.

The normal fans were supporting Zack, Kelly, Slater, Lisa and Jessie.

The mental disabled fans were supporting Screech.

If the original class has to be that difficult, then Screech should not have been included in the original class too soon.

If they include Screech in it to make it more popular, then the original class should not be made difficult at all.

If Saved By The Bell wants to continue getting entering syndication, then this syndication channel has to be a low-public type, IMO.

Nothing that I can tell ... "mental disabled?" What????
I remember watching SBTB reruns on WGN (well before it was WGN America, back when most of the Chicago programming was shown nationally) after school. I think it aired around 3:30, so 2:30 in Chicago.

irehtman · 03-29-2014, 01:09 PM

Schmave, what's your concern against "mental disabled"?

It truly was. Around this time, Saved By the Bell was airing new episodes and reruns. And Saved By the Bell: The New Class and Saved By the Bell: The College Years would be added in 1993, while the original series was still airing in syndication. Add to that a few knock-off shows that were similar (California Dreams, Hang Time, Running the Halls, Hey Dude, etc), and you're talking an entire Peter Engel empire.

In the mid-1990s, TBS aired two or four episodes back-to-back Monday through Friday. At the same time, it was being shown on local stations. It was everywhere.

irehtman · 03-30-2014, 08:08 AM

I used to be a fan of SBTB, but now I retired from watching all SBTB class shows, including the original one. I am currently a fan of Hang Time right now. You might think Hang Time will not beat the original class, but I prefer Hang Time instead, unfortunately.

ThomasE · 05-18-2014, 10:54 PM

I remember when it came to weekday on WFTS 28 in 1991...but it aired at 5am E/T in the morning!!! I'd catch it in the mornings and then catch it on WGN 9 at 3:30pm E/T and then again at 6:30 pm E/T. Then what WGN would do is air Bayside eps on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays while airing Miss Bliss eps on Tuesdays. Then the next year, my local station WFTS 28 began airing it at 5pm in the afternoons, then four months later, TBS picked up the series as well and it aired on TBS until 2013 (or 2012, I think).

Yeah I call those the peak years, and the reruns were on all the time, since I didn't know about the Miss Bliss episodes I kept thinking who this lady was anyway?

TMC · 10-28-2020, 07:40 PM

There's a debate going on right now elsewhere concerning when exactly did SBTB entered syndication. On the "Zack to the Future" podcast, Mark-Paul Gosselaar said that show went into syndication in 1996.

Mark-Paul is definitely wrong about the year. Saved By the Bell was already in syndication at least by the 1994-1995 TV season (and likely far earlier); both WGN and TBS were already airing two back-to-back reruns of Saved By the Bell by that time. Here's the January 26, 1995 TV listing:

Here's an excerpt from the April 30, 1991 edition of Variety regarding SBTB's entry into the syndication market that coming fall.

Quote:

Variety has announced today that “Saved by the Bell” will be launched into syndication by the recently-formed production-sales firm Rysher Entertainment this Fall, while finishing out its last season on the network. According to John Agoglia, president of NBC Enterprises and executive vice president of NBC Productions, “Bell”’s ratings were strong enough to qualify for syndication.

Production will begin in early July on the final 33 episodes. That will bring the tally to 88 episodes at the end of the season, since “Good Morning, Miss Bliss” is going to be included in the syndication package.

“If it plays well, we may have found a nice little business here,” Keith Samples (Rysher’s president) says.

I think that Dennis Haskins said on The E! True Hollywood Story that Saved by the Bell really didn't become "popular" (or this iconic teen show if you will) until TBS started rerunning it around 1992.
