Why is Adult Swim showing Saved by the Bell?

[Emu]

i hated this show in 1989 and i hate it now

[Dr. Boogie]

Because:

A). If it fails, it was all a big joke.

B). If it succeeds, they can keep running episodes and seem like they know exactly what the audience wants to see.

[maggiekarp]

They've gone mad with power

Or the whole programming block is gonna go Family Guy with "Hey, remember the 80's?"

[executioneer]

hey cartoon network let me level with you: as unrealistic-looking as the characters on saved by the bell are, IT IS NOT A CARTOON.

[Dr. Boogie]

When it comes time to take a test, I just copy off the NERDS!


That's identifiable!




Also, they just showed an episode where they treated caffeine pills like they were qualudes.

[ScruU2wice]

I'm pissed they took off the oblongs >:

[Sethomas]

...without finishing the job by killing all those responsible for its existence, and their descendants down to the seventh generation?

[maggiekarp]

Y'know, I don't really like The Oblongs enough to watch it all the time, and there are a ton of other cartoons that would be better suited for such a time space, but it isn't really all that terrible.

MORE ANIME >:

[the_dudefather]

remember dont get mad...get even

they have been repeating saved by the bell on nickelodeon here for a while, usualy every 4-5 years they 'bring it back' while showing ads for it with the style of "look at his oversized mobile phone lol"

anyway, gotta love those pink dream borders they used

[Esuohlim]

MORE ANIME >:

f u

[maggiekarp]

no f u anime is hella cool :(


Sometimes I wish they could show really well-animated, non-Japanese stuff on AS, but there seems to be a huge void in that field between children's entertainment and R-rated semi-porn.

[executioneer]

funny how that works, huh

[Guitar Woman]

i like how hentai makes sex look really really painful

[maggiekarp]

Not to mention the shame!

[Jebus_was_Black]

Dude I am just glad I don't have to wake up early go get my daily dose ov Vitamin A......wait for it....C Slater.

[Emu]

Your name offends me. Hard.

[Esuohlim]

I actually laughed at his post.

[Zomboid]

Me too...name kinda sucks but that was funny :O

[sadie]

wait a sec. emu is old enough to remember a tv show from '89??

[Emu]

I was 3 :(

[Skulhedface]

I was 8! :victory stance:

I seriously hope it's a joke... but more than likely, probably not. Such a shame, too...

But uh, here's a stupid story: I met the guy who played Slater while doing time in a crappy restaurant job. He was married to Ali Landry and she's from around here, and they came in.

I guess I kinda figured something was going on because the girls that worked in the front usually didn't do jack shit, but suddenly they were all busy.

[Jixby Phillips]

is thre honestly any fucking question in the world that this is a joke? Jeesus Louisus

[Emu]

jixby, it's one of those jokes that's so bad that the question needs to be asked

[GADZOOKS]

If only they replaced all anime with perfect strangers.

[Skulhedface]

is thre honestly any fucking question in the world that this is a joke? Jeesus Louisus

Yes. They're just THAT crafty.

I'd begin to wonder if it became a regular thing.

[Emu]

They're showing it for 2 weeks. This week (God willing) will be the last.

Here are some good places to vent your frustration. That is, if you are registered to imdb.

[Jixby Phillips]

you people need to fucking relax

[Emu]

Screech is really good at playing the prerecorded keyboard songs.

[Jebus_was_Black]

I actually think Saved by the Bell is funnier(funny in the unintentional campiness kind of way) then some of the newer Adult Swim shows like 12 oz. Mouse, Squidbillies, or Perfect Hair Forever. Now if only Adult Swim would start showing Family Matters.
I can't believe people are taking this Saved by the Bell stuff so seriously. If you can't tell this is a joke then I pity the fool.

[Esuohlim]

You are awesome.

[wislingsailsmen]

[Fathom Zero]

How many times did you take English 1 in high school?

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Sigh. I used to enjoy the show as a kid, but that was then.

Saved By the Bell - Back In Production!
04/19/2006

Adult Swim has done it again! Following hot on the heels of Fox's Family Guy, Saved By The Bell has been pulled from cancellation with an order for 30 all new episodes taking place at Bayside High.

"We were ecstatic when we saw the early numbers on Saved By the Bell on Adult Swim," said Matt Laster, the VP of Turner Entertainment's newly created 80's Reclamation Department. "We knew this had the potential to be big, but we never thought it would be this big. The fans have really shown their support and come out in droves on the adultswim.com website."

According to Laster, the new series is still in development but he did say that almost all of the original cast would be returning, minus "Showgirls" star Elizabeth Berkley. The series will follow the events after Saved By the Bell: The New Class and find Screech as the new principal of Bayside and a retired Mr. Belding as the proprietor of the Max, the hangout that the Saved By the Bell gang frequented. Screech is overwhelmed by the new group of students and puts out a call for help, and soon, all of the old regulars are back at Bayside. Laster would not elaborate on the status of Zack and Kelly's relationship, though the couple were last seen walking down the aisle.

"I've spoken to the crew and they really can't wait to get back together," said Laster. "We think this will be a fun and exciting new direction for Adult Swim and we can't wait to find even more great 80's comedies for Adult Swim."

[executioneer]

hahahahahaha

[Zomboid]

hahaha oh man if that's real it'll be so terrible that it's something you can't possibly miss :O

[Dr. Boogie]

I think that's what they're counting on, just like the people behind Snakes on a Plane.

Edit: Also, "Turner Entertainment's newly created 80's Reclamation Department."

[Johnny Couth]

That's a myth.

[Jebus_was_Black]

Does anyone know the website where you can pay and get Mr.Belding to call you?

[wislingsailsmen]

well if someone finds that webpage id shit my pants in laffter

[Red Machine D]

According to one of the bumps in tonight's AS, the rating for SBTB, while not that bad, got constantly hammered by those of Family Guy and Futurama. Also, they admitted it was a joke.

[noob3]

12 oz mouse is one of the best shows to hit adult swim ever, and if you don't like it you must be fucking retarded i swear.

[noob3]

i swear to fucking god, asshole

[EverythingWillSuck]

12 oz mouse is awesome

[maggiekarp]

12 oz. mouse is pretty funny sometimes.

It feels like every show on AS is made by the same few guys, though.

[noob3]

yeah the same awsome guys. except for the lame shows, like squidbillies & whatever super hero show that's on that isn't adventure brothers. and baby blues. and all the reruns of everything.

i liked watching saved by the bell while it was on AS, it seemed like they hand picked the episodes. like a bad b-movie that's only watchable because it's so shitty, the saved by the bell episodes they ran were pretty entertaining. if you watched it in that sort of mind set.. or if you really fucking stoned

cough

[executioneer]

i didnt like the ep. of 12 ounce mouse i saw so i haven't watched it since

it just seemed like "OMG OMG LOOK HOW RANDOM AND BADLY DRAWN THIS IS OMFG"
