What kind of watch this is
Saved by the Bell ran for 4 seasons, totaling 86 episodes and roughly 33 hours of viewing time. Created by Sam Bobrick, the series centers on Zack Morris and his friends at Bayside High. It is a 1989 family comedy. The show leans on the friction between the students' schemes and Principal Belding’s attempts to maintain order. It is the kind of program that feels like a warm bath, though the water is slightly too hot.
How it did with audiences
The box office data is missing, which leaves us with the only metric that matters for a show about teenagers: the TMDB user score. It sits at 7.8. That is a solid number, though perhaps a bit generous for a series where the main plot device is a bell that goes off when someone lies. Viewers clearly cared more about the quip than the accounting.
