The show concerns teenager Zack Morris (Mark Paul Gosselaar) and his eclectic group of friends. Zack himself is a complicated fellow: he's a vain hound for the girls and a screw-up who sets attendance records for detention. But as the series progresses, he also demonstrates that he's a thoughtful kid, underneath it all, with insight and loyalty to others. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen plays Kelly Kapowski, a cheerleader and mall rat who gains seriousness of purpose and dignity over time, and who ends a rivalry between Zack and good-natured sexist jock A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez) by choosing the former--after he cleans up his act a bit. Jessie Murtle Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) may be the most interesting character: smart and given to alternative-lifestyle values, an unabashed feminist yet self-conscious about her height. (She towers over most boys interested in her). Samuel "Screech" Powers (Dustin Diamond) is the show's token nerd, but he defies the stereotype in many ways: In "Dancing to the Max," Kelly develops a crush on Screech after he tutors her in science, while in other episodes he wins a beauty contest and comes to the heroic aid of a chum more than once. What's nice about Saved by the Bell is the way these sundry friends all get to know and accept each other, creating unexpected bonds and encouraging honest support when the chips are down. Highlights include "The Election," in which Zack, typically, runs for class president against Jessie on a lark, then has to face real responsibility when he wins. In "The Prom," Kelly gives up her dream of attending the school prom after her dad loses his job; she's rewarded with Zack's own sacrifice to make sure she's not alone. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of Saved by the Bell - Seasons 1 & 2
One of the best series of the 90's I loved this show as a kid and I'm totally surprised it's on dvd now. I had no idea they were even putting the seasons on dvd. Anyway looks like there's no special features and that's too bad but it's still nice to be able to watch the episodes whenever I want.
Yes you can watch the show on TBS like one reviewer here points out but on dvd can watch any episode you want. Can't pick which one you want to watch on TBS and not everyone gets up early in the morning when it's on. Think it's on in the afternoon too around 1:00 or so but not everyone is even home then.
So I think owning them on dvd is worth it because you can watch them anytime you want. Anyway go back to the early 90's and relive watching your favorite Bayside students Zach, Kelly, Slater, Screech and Jessy do things their way. Saved By the Bell is a charming high school comedy that is funny but has some heart and real life issues it deals with as well.
My favorite TV show ever, but...
I need to start out by saying that there are few people in the universe more qualified than I am to write this review. This has been my favorite show since it was broadcast on Saturday mornings. When I saw that the DVD was available, I almost had a heart attack and bought it right up. I don't mean to sound like a DVD nerd, this series is very important to me and I have to say I was disappointed.
First, the positives. It's Saved By the Bell, which makes the collection more priceless than gold and I thought it was very considerate of them to pack two seasons on to one boxed set. As a grizzled veteran of the Simpsons DVDs, I found this very nice. The price is also pretty amazing. It comes on 5 discs and has (almost) all of the episodes from seasons 1 and 2.
Unfortunately, I find several things dissatisfying about the collection. While I don't regret buying it, I wish the distributors would have spent a little more time putting the collection together. The packaging is very cheap and flimsy. When you try to remove the security label on the top of the box, the box tears off with it. Also the spine is very fragile in the fold-out and will tear easily. I am very careful with my DVD boxes and had a few close calls from handling it the first time.
Related is the fact that there are NO SPECIAL FEATURES!!!! I find this absurd. What would be better than a grown-up Dustin Diamond providing voice-over commentary?! They totally missed the boat on this one. There are myriad tidbits they could have included, but didn't. TV spots? None. The True Hollywood Story? Sorry. A cast photo gallery? No way. Not even the cheap stuff! This was the most disappointing absent feature on the DVDs.
Finally, and this isn't really disappointing, more confusing than anything, but they didn't include the pilot episode on the first season discs. Why? I understand that it isn't technically part of the first season, but in spirit it is. Additionally, the Good Morning, Miss Bliss episodes aren't included either. Logic seems to dictate that they won't release it or it will come out later...which means we'll have to buy another season on its own.
So I suggest that any die-hard fan like myself take the plunge and invest in the collection, if only to reliably have the "entire" series in case they take the show out of syndication. I also want to stress that the 3-star rating has nothing to do with the quality of the show. That would be six stars out of five. But don't expect anything too fancy, or else you'll be sourly disappointed like I am.
Saved By The Bell
I was dissapointed at first because the first three episodes where bad quality on the first disc although after those first three episodes the quality was perfect. It deals with every day issues, self esteem and self beliefe e.t.c I like Screeches robot. I wish I had one myself!
It's sad that these programs aren't still played on normal t.v. but it is good that you can buy them on dvd instead.
