So Hulu 'ed this a few weeks back. I had only watched a few episodes back when..hell hardly anyone else did either. It of course is dopey as hell, but entertaining. Though for some reason the silliness isn't quite as endearing when they're adults.
But my random thought is this, while no one beats the smokeshow that is Kelly Kapowski, the Alex character is low key sexy as Hell. They played like this goofy, quirky weirdo to sorta be the Jesse character, but honestly that only added to her attractiveness. I dunno, just didn't see it at the time.
I also choose to believe that it's the same character who stood on top of a building with a sign in Independence Day. Vivica tried to warn her, but once Goldblum said checkmate and the alien laser fired, the building and Alex were, much like Terry Funk's knee, smashed to obliticry. You may say "they didn't call her Alex. Not even related to Saved by the Bell the College Years." To which I say, if you watched the whole season like I did Alex moving to LA yo work at a strip club and the getting vaporized by aliens was totally in character. I bet Slater was sad for a while till he found that princess or whatever she was in Hawaii. (I've seen too much Saved by the Bell).
RIP Alex.
Also that f***in theme song ruled. I too am standing on the edge of tomorrow. Today.

Great theme song, but it lacked the charm of the original SBTB.

College Years suffered from being too down to earth (well at least compared to the original SBTB), to the point where it just became closer to your typical young adult sitcom rather than a silly school farce.
They should have pulled a Boy Meets World and given Belding some university role in the show.

The show was too adult to appeal to the kids and not adult for the older, prime time audience.
Personally, I prefer Leslie.

I will always love Slater's surprise that he's Chicano. Then his 20 minutes of being really into it. Then it never being mentioned again.

Did they ever explain where Danielle went after the pilot?

Random ass college thought: You can't be Saved by the Bell because there aren't any bells denoting the end of a class.
I will concede this point if military schools like the Citadel or West Point or a religion based institution employ bells for this purpose. My alma mater had a bell but it didn't coincide with any scheduling and, in actuality, it was a recording because the bell's old.

No, it was explained Danielle transferred in the second episode.
Slater forgot he calls his grandmother Abuela and speaks fluent Spanish.

As a kid I liked it due to how much I loved Saved by the Bell. I remember one weekend they had a marathon on for it and I just watched them all in one go as I ate Hot Pockets. I say that to say the show was good if you liked the original Saved by the Bell. If you didn't then well I don't think you'd enjoy it.

Never watched it when it was airing. Then in 2005 or so caught it as part of TBS 2 hour block of SBTB each weekday morning.
Kelly looked so much better with the shorter hair.

I tell you between this, the original series, Good Morning Miss Bliss, the Tori episodes, the two first days of senior year, this shows as many canons as DC or Marvel. Someone needs to make a chart of Saved By The Bell timelines. If they someone did, much respect.

Did they ever explain where Danielle went after the pilot? She returned home to her dad Floyd & her brothers T.J. & Marcus. |

Mediocre followup show but it does have one of my favorite Saved by the Bell Episodes ever. The one with the Ethics test.
