My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined (of course this happened after the season i think it really came into its own)

#personal #saved by the bell #saved by the bell 2020 #like i’ve tried rewatching the original even if it wasn’t for the sexism the humor is so bad #it’s got the exact same problem every disney sitcom in existence sans boy meets world has it’s just cringe #i don’t care if that take makes me a 90s kid or whatever #also feel like this show would’ve had a better shot if peacock wasn’t a financial dumpster fire

I love all of these flashbacks of Slater and Jessie over the years 🥰

My peak tv Journey *Saved by the Bell*

I loved the Peacock Saved by the Bell reboot. I saw the first season when it was briefly not behind paywall right before the second season. I did not upgrade to a paid version, and it was cancelled. But then there was a special subscription rate that I did upgrade for and the second season was the first thing I watched. Now I really can be disappointed that it was cancelled!

I have started to become interested in how different fandoms are on different social media. A romance popular on Facebook can be derided on Twitter. While when I see posts on here that love the reboot, when I watch clips on YouTube where the original and reboot versions are compared to each other the comments tend to say things like “I only laughed at the scenes from the original, who is the news show even for?” Which made me wonder if the new version is for people who don’t like the original. I remembered a review of the first season on Vox focused author Aja Romano’s bafflement about who the target audience is, which helped create this idea in me. That said, I’m clearly the audience for this show and I’m not someone who hates the original.

I remember being kind of obsessed with the original when in was on in syndication seemingly everyday after school and occasional weekend mornings. It was fascinating. I often wanted assurances that kids older than I were not like that. But I had to be invested enough that I was was shocked when Kelly dumped Zack for Jeff, and generally think it was silly that Slater went after Kelly so much while his real sparks were with Jesse. Also most of the treatment of Screech was mean. And Lisa was often treated as an afterthought. I’m the kind of former viewer that the Funny or Die series Zack Morris is Trash was made for, then you’re right. And realizing that the guy behind that, Dashiell Driscoll, was also working on this was promising for me, if discouraging for others. And I like Tracey Wigfield from her other word from 30 Rock to Great News. Eventually I found a YouTube comment cursing the “wokeness” and “predictability” of of the new show while clearly not having watched even the clip that the writer watched and getting everything about in their predictions wrong. I stopped worrying about what these comments said about who the show was for and filed this to my continual anxiety about reactionary backlash to any programming that doesn’t center on straight, cis, white male characters.

The Peacock SBTB is self consciously a tv series in a way that the original wasn’t. Characters from the original make jokes about the lack of continuity in the old series including family members who showed up once only never to be heard from again and  the fact that it started as a different series set in Indiana then became the SBTB we know and was in CA.  In the new cast of characters, Zack and Kelly’s son Mac is a prankster who is self conscious about living up to the legend of his father. The series’s inciting incident involves kids from the underfunded Douglas High School being bussed to Bayside on the order of Governor Zack Morris, and these characters  frequently comment on how the in world things from the original are weird and a sign of them being very wealthy.

Jesse and Slater are the only members of the original cast to an appear on every episode and they are really well used. They are there to mostly support the new kids who are the real stars. When they had more of the old cast back an were highlighting them, the show was on weak footing.  I really didn’t like the home coming episode in the first season where they wondered where they wonder why their friendships don’t feel real like then. The Screech memorial scene was necessary and sweet, so I can’s judge it. The second season’s career fair episode was slightly better than the homecoming one. There was a whole subplot to make meta jokes Elizabeth Berkley being in Showgirls and its reception. I appreciate that she went there. The jokes were uneven and they mostly left me feeling sad.  

As I said the real stars are the kids, and they as great. I especially like the girls Daisy and Aisha and their aspirational friendship. I love the details like their occasional slipping into Spanish, and that they have had multiple conversations about which pro basketball players cheat on their wives. They’re supportive of each other’s craziness and ambitions. I loved watching them.

Of the Douglas High School students Devonte feels underutilizing. Some of that was about emphasizing that he’s kind of a loner, uninterested in the drama of the other main characters. It made sense that he’d be the one to have a long term romantic relationship with a reoccurring character. Whenever he is in the spotlight he’s a consistent delight, and it made me miss him.

As for the Bayside kids, they’re wonderfully incapable of being self conscious. They’re ridiculous, but worthy of sympathy. I liked them best when when they interacted the Douglas kids. 

The second season had a few message episodes about facing transphobia, racism, financial anxiety. They were notably earnest and not at all like it would have been done on the original series.

The teacher did a double take at the sight of an early Mac Morris. He wanted to commiserate with the man, maybe even apologise for his presence since he’d now be even more insufferable, until a sudden warmth around his hand stopped him in his tracks.

Daisy held it. Daisy held his hand. Right when Jamie and Lexi started dating, Mac had to suffer through an entire enamoured monologue of Jamie’s about how wonderful it felt to hold Lexi’s hand. For Mac, handholding never meant anything. Making out, hooking up — that was important.

But Daisy Jiménez held his hand and it somehow felt like the earth had tilted off its axis in a matter of seconds.

Jamie isn't allowed to have caffeine because Jessie doesn't allow it in her home. 😂 Because of her problem back in the day! 😂
