Why this show failed
No Belding in the main cast. Nuff said. SBTB is NOTHING without BELDING.
sharenah. that is BS.
I liked Belding and all when they were in high school, but he wasn't necessary anymore.
i loved this show as it was. hate it didn't last....
You better understand I'm in love with myself Myself My beautiful self
The reason this show failed is because IT STUNK! Wasn't funny, nothing original, and those "oooooohs" from the audience whenever two people even hugged to so annoying. Awful show, so glad it was cancelled.
shareThe reason why this show failed was because it aired in prime time. The audience was not their at that time.
shareit had to change to much when they got older but they knew they couldnt go to far. they shoulda done it at like the earliest time on sundays which used to be more kids shows, up against 60 minutes. they couldnt decide whether to be mature or high school humor. it past its time.
shareI totally agree with you!!
"I call 'em like I see 'em!"
"I'm here all week!"

Aw, I love the oohs! It's those cheesy moments followed by the constant "oooh!" that made saved by the bell the corny classic that it is! share
its really sad that this show failed cuz I actually think its funny.
alot of the humor was more mature then highschool too.
too bad it didnt work out
Well common, Slater, Kelly, Zach and Screech ALL go to the same college?!?! Ok have the spin off but it was trying way too much to adapt with the high school years. Too bad It was a childhood memory indeed.
shareThe ACTUAL reason this show failed has nothing to do with the show itself. The show Saved by the Bell was successful because it added something new to Saturday Morning television. They ran a series up against the #1 show, which was Bugs Bunny, and were able to forge a new audience and become a hit. They attempted to run a spinoff of that show, The College Years, in PrimeTime. This was destined to fail, and did, thanks to its new time slot.

It is not the same getting up at 5:00 in the morning to watch Saved By The Bell The College Years because those are reruns. I remember watching it on prime time and wondered why they did not put it on Saturday mornings for? The thing is that it was missing things and they changed the characters some even Kelly her personality changed in the College Year's. That is why it failed. Lisa and Jesse was not in the cast either and that is why it also failed.
shareI think what happened was that this show was geered towards the people who were already fans of the original series. While The New Class took hold of new audiences(with recycled storylines) this was meant for the ones(like myself)who didn't want it to end.
When I first saw the show I enjoyed it, but felt at times diappointed that they didn't seem to grow up. I thought we would've had more adult style antics and hijinks instead we get High School type hijinks.
It was still fun to watch Zack, Slater, Screech and eventually Kelly back together, but it could've done better.
Also airing it in the evenings was a bad idea too. They didn't start airing it in the mornings until the show was cancelled...terrible descision by NBC.
the writers have actualy said that it wasn't cancelled or whatever stuff liek that because the last eposide was liek about kelly and zack getting married and then came the wedding in las vegas movie so after them getting married what else was there to put?
shareIt was cancelled but they knew about it in time to do the wedding storyline to wrap up the series and then they did the movie.

It's not unusual for groups of students to all go to the same local college.

A bunch of me and my buddies did it. There was about 5 of us who all went to high school together and we ended up at the same college, too. And it was Penn State, and there's only a handful of schools that are bigger in this county. So, yes, this whole concept is actually pretty likely.
shareTalk about Ironic, I start at Penn State in a few months.
I liked the College Years personally. I wish it'd of lasted longer, but hey to each their own.
Yes but it wasn't a local college. Bayside High School was in the L.A. area, southern California. While their California University was set near Oakland or northern California. It was a few hundred miles for Zack, Screech, Slater and Kelly to go home for the weekend.
