Some things I liked some I did not.

One of my all time favorites.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A spin off full of laughs. I never laughed so hard in my life as I did the one lonely season this gem graced the NBC airwaves. I still have stacks of VHS tapes labelled "SBTB:TCY," which stands for "Saved By the Bell: The College Years." The gang is back: Mark Paul Gosselar, Mario Lopez, Dustin Diamond and Tiffani Amber Theissen are the original members in the show. Too bad they brought in Bob Golic, who is unfunny. Still the show is pretty good and it's a really too bad that it only lasted for a year, 1993-94. I'm giving this one a final rating of 7 out of 10 because while it wasn't perfect, it was entertaining and pretty solid.

I was not a fan of the College Years, even though I religiously watched Saved By the Bell. Here, Zach, Slater, and Screech (and soon, Kelly) joined forces in a fictitious California college. Initially, the guys shared a dorm section with three girls: a drama major, a stuffy brain (the Jessie replacement, I suppose), and Kelly. While Zach and Slater appeared to be slightly more arrogant and altogether, too hung up on the "what a college student is supposed to look like and act like" conventions, and Screech became even more hopelessly doofus than he was in high school (and so willingly so), I did like the brawny fellow, Mike, who was the floor monitor. He was a genuinely amusing character in a show that often tried too hard to be funny (although the drama major girl was often pretty funny because she was so neurotic).For your Saved By the Bell viewing pleasure, skip all the post show remnants, and stick with the original series (even the Good Morning Ms. Bliss series).

I know that many Saved by the Bell fans were not as excited about The College Years. But you know what? I love Saved by the Bell and I also enjoy the College Years as well. It was a different kind of humor and more grown up for the kids of Bayside High. While there were some crazy questions like how we thought that Zack was supposed to go to Yale and Slater was supposed to go to Iowa, it was still nice seeing the gang back together once again for some more goofy adventures through the new experience of college.Zack, Slater, and Screech are back and they're grown up and in college! They now share a co-ed dorm with three other girls: Leslie, Alex, and Danielle. Danielle soon "transfers" and Kelly comes back to join the guys and moves into the same dorm. They experience the life of being a freshman and having to be the small fishes in the big pond. We have somewhat of a replacement for Mr. Belding with Mike, the dorm manager. They once again experience different pressures of homework, romance, drugs, and trying to fool the scary Dean McMann.We had a few interesting stories like the love triangle that happens between Zack, Leslie, and Kelly. The love story of Kelly and Professor Lasky, the sexy bachelor who all the college girls have a crush on. Screech has some sexy ladies after him. Slater isn't on top in wrestling any more and has a new girlfriend, their drama queen dorm mate, Alex. And one of the most wanted things by the fans, Zack and Kelly falling in love and getting married.While the College Years is once again unrealistic, like how the dorm mates seem to have all the same classes together, which is a lot harder to believe in college. Slater, Zack, Kelly, and Screech sharing the same dorm was very unrealistic. The whole way the situation between Kelly and Professor Lasky was handled. But then again the Saved by the Bell series was never that realistic.Now in my opinion Saved by the Bell: The College Years was never given a fair chance. I really enjoyed some of the humor in this season, I loved the relationship between Dean McMann and Zack, these two always killed in laughter. I think people are too harsh on this show, it's not Saturday morning any more, kids, it's prime time, get over it. Give this show a fair chance, it's a lot of fun.

drunk so I actually watched it. It was much funnier than the original which usually sucked even though I would watch it and actually once skipped a baseball game to watch it which cost me an all star appearance one year in little league. Anyway, I laughed my ass of of course I had been drinking a lot. I'm just getting a kick out of how many people miss this show, get over it, it was like 9 or 10 years ago. Hopefully you all are in college or have jobs now or something. Oh well, keep the fight, they might actually bring it back, and do Saved by the Bell: The Out of Work Years. I think it would be hilarious.
