    Nonureva Really Surprised!
    Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
    Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
    Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
    insomniac_rod Finally a clever show that follows a plot and it's soon canceled. I mean, we have the most popular cast members of the original series in the most difficult student era of their lives: College.The idea was very interesting but producers didn't feel it had potential. Some jokes were funny and clever and so were the situations that had a feeling of maturity towards our characters.Also, the new cast members, including teachers were solid additions to the show. Mike Rogers was a fun character and added some spice to the show. The rest of the cast was clichéd but it's okay, I mean, it displays true life in college.The show had potential believe me, but you can't go against producers. A cult show in the future, that's for sure..
    SamsonDBones No show has captured more of its fans hearts than Saved by the Bell. I love Seinfeld, but that show was designed for adults, while Saved by the Bell is unabashedly aimed at its young teen audience. People who grew up when these shows aired certainly know almost every episode and speak glowingly of them. There is little need to parse character development, setting,and/or humor, it's Saved by the Bell. Whether Zack and company are at JFK, Bayside, or CalU, the same cheesy and morally wholesome story lines are woven into every episode. Savor every moment of Saved by the Bell's unapologetically unfunny but extremely entertaining content. No matter what permutation of this show it happens to be, it sure beats the hell out of the current TV lineup.
    Kristine 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.
    TheTVConnoisseur When The College Years aired on prime time that was a major step for this third installment in the SBTB series. The success of SBTB helped this show make it to primetime but the storylines didn't seem to make the switch. The Zack/Kelly romance was alright but the storylines were too silly for a primetime show. This was their big opportunity to tackle big issue but they didn't take it. Well, the show was entertaining but didn't have what it takes to manage on primetime.
