Saved By The Bell: The New Class
Saved by the Bell is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from 1989 to 1993. A retool of the Disney Channel series Good Morning, Miss Bliss, the show follows a group of friends and their principal. Primarily focusing on lighthearted comedic situations, it occasionally touches on serious social issues, such as drug use, driving under the influence, homelessness, divorce, death, and environmental issues.

Saved by the Bell: The College Years
Saved by the Bell: The College Years continues with several of the characters as they deal with college life.
Saved by the Bell: The New Class
Saved by the Bell: The New Class continues the story of Bayside High School, after the original cast has graduated. The series, which aired on Saturday mornings, features a new set of students anchored by Dennis Haskins, and later Dustin Diamond. Diamond’s character "Screech" becomes Principal Belding 's administrative assistant on a work-study program from California University . While Saved by the Bell: The New Class ran for seven seasons, it endured numerous cast changes and never gained the popularity of the original series. Many of the New Class episodes were actually recycled plots from the original Saved by the Bell. Slater, Lisa, and Zack make cameo appearances in one episode in season two while trying to keep Bayside from being bought and destroyed. The Max remains as the hangout for the Bayside High students, although a fire burned it down in one episode, and it is given a new look.

    The Diploma Mill episode signifies that an entity has the authority to confer degrees, but there is no campus, faculty, laboratories or curriculum in which to earn a college degree. In the situation with John C. Bennett, he received a license to practice medicine after only shadowing a relative who was a physician. Bennett was known for his dishonesty and during that time, individuals were being awarded degrees who had never attended class or stepped foot onto a college campus. Today, we do not have “Diploma Mills.” Individuals must do more than shadow to receive a college degree. They must attend class, complete curriculum (Coursework), service learning hours as well as other requirements to graduate from an institution.…

    For me, the show still feels a bit like a platform for ABC to showcase their stars. This episode featured Josh Groban, Jay Leno, Laurence Fishburne, and Lea Thompson, which is a lot of stars for thirty minutes. However, there is promising upward trend from the pilot to this episode. Here is hoping that it will continue to improve and…

    Television network ABC Family’s breakout comedy series, Modern Family, is a show full of life lessons and hidden meanings. Most television shows nowadays are all about sex, alcohol, and the dramas that occur because of them. Modern Family is not an exception, however it focuses more on the family aspect of life’s many dramas. On the surface, it is similar to the sex and drugs filled television shows that consume the media these days, but underneath that surface each episode has a moral to be learned, and the show overall represents many different assumptions America makes on what a “typical” family is.…

    It is 8:30 Monday night and the whole family is in the living room watching the Fox network's primetime hit "Ally McBeal". Suddenly, just after the program resumes after a painstakingly long commercial break, you see a man and a woman lying in bed talking to each other after having a night of hot, passionate sex. You look down and see your ten year old son or daughter lying on the floor just staring at the TV, taking it all in. You begin channel surfing, and end up on channel 3, CBS. There is a brand new sitcom being aired called "Some of My Best Friends". Almost immediately after you and your family begin viewing this program, two men, both proclaiming to be gay, begin kissing and embracing each other. Upset by all of this "garbage", you turn off the TV and decide to try and find something a little more "educational" to do.…

Four of the five characters are genius young men whom all work at the same university as scientist, Leonard Hofstadter, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz, and Raj Koothrappali. With their love of comic books, role-playing games and individual quirkiness these characters are examples of “nerds”. The show begins when roommates Leonard and Sheldon meet their neighbor Penny, a beautiful all be it dumb blond whom is aspiring to become a actress, but works as a waitress at The Cheese Cake Factory. In 2011 Sheldon and Howards love interest, Amy and Bernadette, whom previously held supporting roles were promoted to full time members of the cast.
