Saved by the Bell (1989–1992)
7/10
Beautiful to look at but unrealistic storyline
13 August 2014
It's definitely a lovely show to look at at. The 80's and 90's fashion and all that is eye candy for me and reminds me of my childhood even though i'm born in the mid 90's. It reminds me of a happier time. But i gotta say, the script and the storyline is pretty horrible most of the time. I mean sure, it's all happy and it always ends happy. It's a bunch of kids having fun in school dealing with very minor problems sometimes. The group is obviously a quite popular and normal gang. Parents barely exist. It's the perfect show to watch if you wanna relax for a bit and see a happy side of high school. A very unreal side unless you actually are popular, but still. But if you wanna watch something that you can actually relate to, look elsewhere.

Personally, i prefer a show that shows a more realistic side of life. Like Boy Meets World or Lizzie McGuire for example. Boy meets world handled almost every problem and life situation you can think of in a beautiful and natural way. Poverty, middle-class family, young love, death of loved ones, height difference, marriage... Their actors and actresses weren't super skinny without flaws, they looked natural. Same goes with Lizzie. OK, the movie was pretty damn unrealistic, but some parts of it and the show dealt with some serious and realistic stuff.

Don't get me wrong, i love saved by the bell. It's eye candy in many ways and i love watching it. But the script...it's pretty awful. It just gets a bit too plastic sometimes like modern Disney shows. But it's a great classic and it's still a billion times better than most modern crap that kids watch on TV nowadays.
