I know this show had a ton of continuity errors, but I was wondering: Did it ever explain why Zack didn't go to Harvard (or Yale or wherever). I remember a high school episode about him getting into an Ivy League school, and obviously his parent's could afford it.
shareHe was supposed to go to Yale in the "series finale" they had filmed months before and saved for the end, to air in primetime. Then the next half-hour was the first "sneak peek" episode of The College Years -- how weird and lame was that? They never really explained. Screech was supposed to go to Princeton but also decided to stay back with his friends, and in the premiere episode it's Kelly's unexpected presence at the school that surprises her three friends.
shareI remember that episode. Zack said his mom made him apply to Yale when she found out he got a 1500 on his SATs.
It kinda seemed to me that the writers made it so Zack, Screech, and Kelly all had decided to go their separate ways but it didn't work out (or they went and it didn't work out) and transferred back to college at home.

And wasn't Slater going to University of Iowa on a wrestling scholarship?

It really was't exlpained why Zack and Slater changed their minds, I do remember a promo for the series or it may have been the very beginning of the first episode where Zack tells the audience, "Over the Summer, Slater and I decided to go to Cal U with Screech." It went something like that.
There's no "I" in team, but there is an "m" and an "e."

Very little about this show makes any sense from a story perspective. It seems like they were just hammering elements together in the hopes something would work out. When Tiffany Amber changed her mind at the last second they fired the black girl so as not to have too many principles, none of these people should be at the same college anyway (poor Screech will never be his own man), the needlessly hostile dorm supervisor always in everyone's personal life would likely get the school sued eventually, and at a college like that you wouldnt be able to skip all your classes like in high school. After the first semester they'd boot you from the dorms and cancel your enrollment.

I'm guessing they were doing it just in case the spin off wasn't picked up so the original show can have some closure.

Love Les Miserables!!!
Everyone knows these are 2 completely different shows right? Just like Good Mourning Miss Bliss is a different show as well. Continuity issues galore between the shows but as far continuity issues go, The college years had the least.
