The decade that started the trend of television reboots may be over, but that’s not slowing down the networks. The latest classic television show to get a revival is Saved by the Bell, the beloved teen comedy that was a retooling of Good Morning Miss Bliss that ran from 1989 to 1993 that caused spin-offs such as Saved by the Bell: The College Years (1993-1994), Saved by the Bell: The New Class (1993-2000), and two TV movies: Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style (1992) and Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas (1994). The first trailer for the new series dropped this week and showcased the new students of Bayside High as well as their coach, AC Slater (Mario Lopez). The new clip featured Elizabeth Berkley’s Jessie Spano and Zack and Kelly’s now-teenage son. While some people were loving the trailer, other fans aren’t here for the new take created by NBC Universal‘s new Peacock streaming service.

The Memories Are Enough

I have no interest in the #SavedByTheBell reboot. I know it will ruin my memories of the original, classic series. I’ll stick to my DVD box set of those late 80s/early 90s priceless episodes. pic.twitter.com/LtN19F3VkY

Some People Are Jessie-Level Excited

I am SO EXCITED (pun not intended) to see this!! I also can’t wait to see @MPG and @TiffaniThiessen in it (once they film their scenes, haha)!

But 1 thing…the ONLY people who should have the ‘Time-Out’ power are Zack and his kids! #SavedByTheBell pic.twitter.com/dPm2PODOfc

But Others Think It’s an “Abuse of Nostalgia”

#SavedByTheBell is NOT back. This new production is just exploitation and abuse of nostalgia. pic.twitter.com/AN941ObVaU

Too Different

This is missing all the low budget, campy, cheesy sets, bad one-liners, and cheesy-over-the-top-acting…all of which made Saved By The Bell so good back in the day. pic.twitter.com/W5a338ueJ5
