First let me say that I am the same age as the Bayside gang from "Saved By the Bell". That is right, I am now an old man of 26 years (going on 27 later this year). I was born in 1975 and I graduated high school in 1993, and I always thought this show was one of the dumbest things to ever hit the airwaves. Back in high school I found it completely fake and moronic. These Bayside kids did everything and anything in the world but go to class.
Though it's always been obvious to me, that the fanbase of this show is MUCH younger then anyone my age (or even close to my age). And that is understandable. "Saved By the Bell's" level of stupidity could only be appreciated by people who were little kids in the very late '80s and early-mid '90s. Since I was a teenager back then, I found this show to be completely retarded, and I know most people my age or close to my age (within about 2-3 years of my age) found this show to be pretty idiotic as well. But if you're a kid who likes this show, well more power to you.
Oh and I want to second whoever said that this isn't an '80s show. It wasn't, it was an EARLY '90s show. I graduated high school in 1993, and that wasn't the '80s d*mmit. Anyone who was at least 11 or 12 years of age in 1990 knew that that time wasn't the '80s. You just don't know the REAL 1980s if you think the EARLY '90s were the Eighties. Hardly anything from the '80s was popular in 1990, not even the late '80s. Keep in mind the '80s really ended in 1987, and the very late '80s was like this phase out time that was sorta the Eighties, but not really. I mean is the future graduating class of 2003 a '90s class just because they started high school in the fall of '99? Exactly. Neither were we an '80s class. Though it seems like nearly every kid born in the '80s calls the early '90s and even the mid '90s the "Eigh-ties". If you kids born in the '80s want to learn about the real '80s, focus on stuff that happened in the years 1980-'87. Stop looking at 1989-'95 for your fill of the "Eigh-ties".
