A Repair to Remember

Wanting to get her car fixed, Maria gets ripped off by two sleazy car mechanics.

Aired: 01/08/00

Show Summary

The season after the original Saved by the Bell series ended, Peter Engel Productions and NBC rolled out Saved by the Bell: The New Class , also set at Bayside High School but featuring a new group of young actors, with original cast members Dennis Haskins (Principal Richard Belding) and DustinMore Diamond ("Screech" Powers, who came along in season 2) providing some continuity. Although it never was as popular as the original series, The New Class had enough staying power to last for seven seasons, providing an anchor for the Saturday morning "TNBC" (teen NBC) lineup, even with its necessarily revolving-door cast, which featured a lot of bright and attractive young actors. Reruns have been shown on the USA Network for a number of years, but as of August 2001, they are not scheduled anymore.

  • Should you date Screech?

    IN the new class I would say YES because Screech was more popular in the new class than in original. The original was too strict on him, but he did better in the new class.

  • Dustin Diamond as Screech

    I understand that some of you liked him in the New Class and some of you don't. But some of you don't understand why he came to the New Class. The reason why is because that his role as Screech in the original class wasn't popular to his own level. IN the original class, his role was popularMore to the people under his level. IN the new class, he started okay in seasons 2 and 3 of the new class, but starting in season 4, he was reduced to a virtual cartoon character. The New Class may not be as popular as the original, but Dustin did a better job in the new class than in the original class and his role was popular in the new class.

    Just horrible. hide show

    Oh god. What have I gotten myself into. Saved by the Bell: The New Class is just plain awful. I watched the show to say how bad it was, and oh I didn't know how bad it could get. It's not funny. Screech is clearly lacking a penis he's incredibly annoying and his voice sounds like Alvin the Chipmunk in the middle of anail. The rest of the characters are purely one demensional and just suck. The only one is the stupid guy, but after hearing his lines I'd almost rather have people how don't have any personality. But the worst part is the studio audience. Every attempt at comedy they laugh. Of course that's not too bad, 90% of sitcoms have that problem. But oh god, the screaching they do. Every form of sexual contact that is made, even in the most platonic matter, THEY ALWAYS G0"WOO-HOO". I hate this show. I really, really hate this show. I no longer wish to discuss it.

    Even if this show was not as great as the original class, the new class has Dustin Diamond as the star onto this show as Screech. He was not popular in the original, but he was better in the new class. The new class is popular because of Dustin Diamond. hide show

    The show may not be great as the original class, but Dustin Diamond saved the show from being terrible. He was not popular in the original class, but when he came into the new class, he gained more popularity. If they are going to rerun the original class episodes on air and Dustin's popularity is still going down in the original class, then it might be a chance that the new class should be brought back into air because of him. The new teen actors are horrible and the cast changes are worser. Seasons 6 and 7 are the worst.

    The second spinoff to 'Saved by the Bell' about the next generation of Bayside High. hide show

    Who thought of this? The College Years was more than enough!! i hate the whole idea of this because it's Saved By The Bell, all over again with a less funny storyline, less hot charectars, and a less younger Mr. Belding. The people who thought this would be a good idea, were horribly mistaken. No wonder it was so bad, and cancelled after like two seasons? Nothing will ever live up to the original Saved by the Bell. Worst Idea Ever. I mean, who really needs to bring back the amazingness of Saved by the Bell in some cheap knockoff version.

    Ok, not great hide show

    It was allright. Not as good as real 1st series. The cast kept changing every season way too much. i liked Linsday and Rachel. Too many episodes were away from Bayside, at mall and places. Mr. belding and screech were clowns and took away from main story and were distracting. There was some real good eps, but not too many. Plus the show went for 7 seasons, how come they were in HS soo long ? and they werent even all in the same class. It was cool whenever some old class like Slater and Zach stopped by once or twice.

    i dont know what to right so i'm not going to right anything hide show

    it was'nt very bad but not very good at all either what were the directors thinking. the orignal saved by the bell cast were fab. i wish saved by the bell was still on.
    they should have never even thought of making a mew saved by the bell.
    who would watch it.
    apart from some old crook who had nothind else too do.
    i can't belive i even watched it before. the only person i know that would proably like it would be this girl called dammy and i'm not sure shell even be able to afford the channel they do it on.
