Peacock's Saved by the Bell reboot is funnier and more ambitious than the original show ever was

"The original Saved by the Bell was high school from the vantage point of elementary- and middle-schoolers," says Inkoo Kang. "(Showrunner Tracey) Wigfield’s reinterpretation — with its heavy debts to 30 Rock and the dearly departed Great News (which she created) — seems to be made for Jessie Spanos for all ages: bleeding hearts who don’t mind that their sitcoms skew a tad more toward preachiness than jokes." Kang adds: "The new Saved by the Bell — Peacock’s reboot of the corny Saturday-morning phenom — could be the brainchild of Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley Lauren), the 1989-1993 series’ idealistic, serious-minded teen feminist. The reboot is funnier than the original show ever was, but it’s also a far more earnest and socially conscious (some will definitely say 'woke') affair, tackling educational inequality, bias against students of color and the ways in which willful blindness toward racial and economic privilege have pernicious downstream effects on some of the most vulnerable members of society. It’s what the old Saved by the Bell never was: ambitious."
