“We need Doc Brown to sort out the timelines of this show.” – Jonah Anderson, world’s foremost expert on “Saved by the Bell.”
The “Saved by the Bell” continuity is… confusing. Never mind the fact the powers-that-be want you to think “Good Morning Miss Bliss” is the first season of the show (it isn’t). Things get even more confusing once the gang makes it to Bayside. How long do these school years last? When does the Malibu Sands mini-season occur? Where do Jesse Spano and Kelly Kapowski keep disappearing to during senior year? Do they even know that Tori (Leanna Creel) exists?
Wait, who are you, Tori? And where did you get that leather jacket?Hey, wait, where did Tori go? Did Screech murder Tori? Man, Screech is the worst.
Sitcoms like this always seem to have continuity issues, generally because of behind-the-scenes production issues and conflicts. Jonah and Tyler (with an early assist from Angela) unravel the web that is the Saved By the Bell timeline. You’ll even understand how “Saved by the Bell Hawaiian Style” fits into the equation.
If anybody has Dennis Haskins’ personal cell phone number, we’d love to talk to him. Dennis, if you’re reading this, we’re not creepy. We just want you to come on the show!
