7. Hang Time

While the show was admittedly conceived with teenagers in mind, NBC’s playful sitcom appealed to Saturday morning TV watchers of all shapes and sizes.

Simply put, Hang Time was Saved by the Bell with more sports and no Screech—the latter serving as the show’s only real drawback.

Through its focus on the school’s basketball team—the Deering Tornados—Hang Time dealt with important issues such as gender equality and also brought star power to the table, creating on-camera acting opportunities for the likes of Reggie Theus and Dick Butkus.

The premise was there, but the show’s cast—which changed far too frequently—was ultimately its undoing. With a little more continuity, however, Hang Time 2.0 could more than work today.

I liked Hang Time. I don't think it was a bad show by any means. A show like that, American Gladiators, MTV Rock and Jock and Two A Days could work. Btw, didn't the coach for the Hoover Football Team on Two A Days get into some trouble?

There is no need for a reboot on this show.

As long as they keep both the main character and the funniest supporting character in this show, that will work without rebooting.
