Saved By The Bell is a little show many kids growing up in the early 1990's remember. It is set at a fictional high school, Bayside, and features six teenagers going through the motions that most teenagers do on shows such as this.
There are no curve balls tossed at the viewers here. Most of the shows are straight forward, and deal with the sort of things kids of that age deal with - dating, peer pressure, the obvious. Some episodes are "message" episodes, but are played very simply, while others are episodes that are done strictly for laughs.
I will say this - the show, while enjoyable, always seemed removed from it's particular era. The show caught the tail end of the 1980's, and ended in 1993. About halfway through this, the "90's" that everyone came to know, started up. Watching the show gives one a reminder of the giant gulf separating the world of corporate youth culture (if such a thing exists) and the world of the moment (the "grunge/alternative" culture). They really do seem to exist in two different realities.
Saved By The Bell was still a fun show, though, & it continues to be, even in reruns.
