[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Saved By The Bell & California Dreams

[ultra_fic]

 

Here we have two pieces of my childhood. Technically I think both SBTB and CD were meant for teens, but I started watching them in Summer Holiday re-runs at about age 9.

First I fell for Zach Morris as he terrorised Bayside High in the funniest ways possible, then I fell harder for Jake Sommers, the leather-clad new guitarist that joined the band called California Dreams.

The comedy was funny then, some of its a little lame now, almost 20 years on, but I still enjoy the characters and the moral little stories that might even have taught me something all those years ago.

Its all harmless fun, and these were (as far as I know) the originals and best that went on to spawn SBTB The New Class, Hang Time, USA High, One World, Malibu CA, and a squillion other shows that could never be as cool as these two.

OK. You are officially smarter than me. When I was 9 I was watching Gummi Bears lol

Oh, I was watching the Gummi Bears too! lol I've been part-adult since I was a kid. I don't know why, I was always just a little grown-up in a lot of ways ;)

Oh these two shows bring back so many memories. Loved Zach and all the gang from Saved By the Bell. Loved California dreams as well. I think the station that I watched these two shows on would air them back to back. I still catch the occasional Saved By the Bell re-run when it airs(Thank you TBS.) Looking forward to seeing what's next in your DVD collection!

I have all 5 seasons of SBTB, plus the specials, The College Years, and the first season of The New Class! lol I love 'em. California Dreams ended up being a bigger favourite though. I have 4 Seasons of that so far, waiting for 5 to come out sometime. They were just fun shows, and I wanted to date a guy like Zach or Jake when I grew up... yeah, never happened, and probably for the best! lol
