Default Tiffani Thiessen Has Some Bad News About That Hypothetical 'Saved By The Bell' Reboot

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/tiffani-thi...192008905.html

Quote:
Like steady waves of blue ocean smacking into rocks and eroding them over millions and millions of years, the trend of television reboots, re-imaginings, and sequels shows no sign of letting up. In just the next few months, we have The X-Files and Fuller House on the way, at which point they’ll join everything from Girl Meets World to the upcoming Twin Peaks update on the list of revived series from the 1990s. NBC was this close to bringing Coach back. It’s wild out there.

One series you shouldn’t expect to see rebooted, however, probably, depending how much pull Tiffani Thiessen has and/or how much you believe her, is the classic ’90s high-school-and-sometimes-vacations-and-sometimes-summer-beach-jobs series Saved by the Bell.

Quote:
“It’s never going to happen,” Thiessen tells EW with a laugh. “You’d never be able to do a reboot of that show and do a good job with it. The best thing we did was the Jimmy Fallon reunion last year. That’s as close as it will get!”
So, there are three things going on here.

1) I think, perhaps, Tiffani could be lumping together full-on reboots — whole new cast playing the same or similar characters — with the kind of soft reboot a show like Girl Meets World got, where a few characters from the original come back as a way to help introduce a new, updated story featuring new characters. The former she can’t really rule out because someone else holds the rights and can do whatever they want with them, no matter how bad/hilarious the idea is. The latter she can control and can certainly shoot down at her pleasure, as she has the dozens of times I’ve mailed her letters that begin with “Zack and Kelly’s 16-year-old son, Dax, is a cool parkour expert with attitude…”

2) I think, perhaps, Tiffani could be forgetting that the series already got that latter brand of soft reboot once before, with Saved by the Bell: The New Class, which starred Mr. Belding and Screech and an ever-changing group of students and ran for seven seasons. More than 140 episodes! That seems impossible.

3) I think, perhaps, Tiffani hasn’t thought through how good my idea about her fictional parkour-loving teenage son could be. Slater and Jesse’s kid is his girlfriend! She does parkour, too! Just hear me out!

Both Tiffani and Elizabeth should still be moving from this all SBTB projects, including the original one, and appear in better projects than this original one also.

Both of these women are doing well in their own both professional, personal and family lives and should reunite in their own reunions and continue on, rather than the original class reunions, for the rest of their lives.

To me, if a reunion of any form is never done, then at least we have the show on DVD and that right there is the most important thing. If the show had not been done at all, then there wouldn't be any reason for a reunion to happen.

God bless you always!!!

I know what you're talking about, JoSweetHeart.

But since Tiffani and Elizabeth, not only are doing well in their own real successful family lives, are not deteriorating like the rest of the original class castmembers and the original class series also grew overrated outside of America, besides underrated in America, there could be chances that the number of original class reunions might become limited sometime in future and both these women will continues reuniting with each other in a small group permanently forever.

Besides, this small group reunion of Tiffani and Elizabeth might do better than the original class reunion for the rest of their lifetime, no offense, IMO.

This original series has been revealed as permanently both ableist and ageist right now.
