The First Trailer For ‘The Saved By The Bell’ Reboot Is Here And It’s Going To Suck So Good

Mario Lopez


I don’t want to jump the gun and judge a series by a teaser, but the Saved By The Bell reboot teaser is weaker than the cell phone reception in the Sahara.

No Zach Morris. No Kelly Kapowski. No Belding. No Screech Powers. No Lisa Turtle.

Just a bunch of teeny boppers trying to revive a show that aired when they were just a twinkle in their fathers’ eyes.

Enjoy. Or at least try to.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar is expected to reprised his role as Zach Morris in a limited capacity, but Dustin Diamond aka Screech and Lark Voohries aka Lisa Turtle have been snubbed from the cast.

Neither is happy about it.

Voohries, who has admitted to being diagnosed with bipolar disorder after giving a string of confusing interviews, claimed two months ago that she feels “a bit slighted and hurt” over her omission.

Speaking with TMZ in February, Dustin Diamond shared the same sentiment.

“I’m one of the rare people who was in every episode . . . And that’s not the case anymore, if I’m not in the new one,” Diamond said at the time. “And how do you have Saved by the Bell without Screech? Right? It seems like there’s a missed opportunity there. What’s the old saying about cutting off the hand? Cutting off the finger to spite the hand? Or, cutting off the nose to save or spite the face? Something like that.”

No release date for the show has been announced, but Peacock is expected to begin offering content in July.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
