All of which is to say this class of “Saved By The Bell” is a pleasant surprise. Showrunner Tracey Wigfield’s experience with skewering meta commentary on series like “30 Rock” and “Great News” comes into play here. She and her team of writers masterfully weave all the best parts of the original into this new iteration, while calling out the ways in which the first show’s foundation was cracked.
We've seen many sitcom reboots in recent years and, while it's always fun to watch our old TV favorites again, most shows can't seem to grow past the nostalgia to give us anything new. While nostalgia is a key ingredient to reboots, it's not something that can sustain a series on its own; you need a blend of new and old, character growth, and an awareness that things are different now than they were 30 years ago. We are so pleased to report that Peacock’s Saved by the Bell reboot might be the best attempt at reviving a sitcom we've seen.
If you’re a TV viewer of a certain vintage (like me), Saved by the Bell imprinted on you at an early age, whether you liked it or not. (In our defense, there wasn’t much TV to choose from back then.) Yes, the cheesy ’90s high school antics of Zack, Kelly, Slater, et al do have a certain nostalgic allure… but they were never “good,” really. So it’s a nice surprise that the Saved by the Bell revival — debuting Wednesday, Nov. 25 on Peacock; I’ve seen three episodes — is actually, surprisingly good: a cleverly constructed, highly tongue-in-cheek reinvention that pokes plenty of fun at its inspiration while finding genuine laughs of its own.
Then they're getting ad revenueOk, but how many of those 26M subs are paying, Peacock Premium subscribers though? Because there’s like 3-4 individual accounts in my house alone, but none of us are paying.
That’s assuming anyone actually uses the app. The only thing I ever do is watch some of the “channels”. And we have Hulu, so any next day TV we watch on there with no ads. I more or less have it just in case something cool comes around. I plan on signing up for the Fresh Prince show, but will probably unsubscribe after.Then they're getting ad revenue

Nope. Warner was the production company on the original series, which is why they have Fresh Prince on HBOMax.I thought that was on HBOMax
None of that mattered apparently considering that there was a bidding war between Peacock, HBOMax, and Netflix for the show.View attachment 13633Produced by Universal; distributed by Warner
They should be there, there was news about it back in July (Source)Are all the classic monster movies off of peacock? I can’t find them. What’s even the point then? I mean I have them all on DVD but still lol.
