saved by the bell

sadly, i don't really have any interesting points to mention about saved by the bell. thanks to sham & wikipedia, i did learn that it's actually a spin-off/re-packaging of an earlier show called good morning, miss bliss. but that's about it.

i mean, this show's not great. there's almost NO back story (probably due to the whole spin-off thing) & i can't really figure out if any of the characters actually LIKE each other.

but it's all fun & quite enjoyable, as long as you can sort of space out or multi-task while watching it. i like to catch this one on saturday/sunday mornings when i'm hungover & there's nothing else on TV. i even own the high school seasons on DVD, & i admit this isn't the first time i've watched them.

but really, there's not much to this show. perhaps i only like it cos it reminds me of my childhood. i'm not really sure.

it's a good time, definitely, & i do like watching it. but it's honestly no gem.

edit: actually, i did think of one other thing to mention. normally, i can't stand tiffani-amber thiessen, & i would never consider her a "good" actor. but here's something to consider: from saved by the bell to beverly hills: 90210, she seems like a completely different person. in fact, i have trouble believing that kelly & val ARE the same actress. so, my hat is off to you, tiffani. perhaps i underestimated your television abilities.
