Saved by the Bell: The New Class	comment	Saved by the Bell: The New Class is a Spin-Off of Saved by the Bell that aired on NBC from 1993 to 2000. Focusing on a new group of students, Mr. Belding is still the principal, while former student Samuel "Screech" Powers works as his assistant.Launched at the same time as The College Years, The New Class might be classified as more of a spin-off than a continuation; with one exception, the entire old main cast has left and are replaced with new students. Unlike the original show, The New Class regularly changed its core cast over the seven seasons. It was also the longest lasting incarnation of the series.All seven seasons of the series are available to watch on the NBC website.Now has a character sheet under construction. Please help add to it!

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_12e2a068	type	Alone Among the Couples
Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_12e2a068	comment	Alone Among the Couples: Katie spends the early part of the Season 4 episode "The Fifth Wheel" feeling left out when Eric is away inside the simulation space shuttle while everyone else is paired up. She ends up asking Gordon, the guy for the episode, out for a meteor shower picnic together despite having no romantic feelings for him, just so she wouldn't feel alone.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: For the most part the series was no darker than the original but in stark contrast to the original series "No Hope With Dope" (where Zack and the rest of the gang are completely appalled at even the idea of smoking pot and even the school bully is aghast at the suggestion he smokes) the 'New Class' episode "Highs and Lows" has Maria explicitly get stoned. Pot is still depicted negatively and by the end of the episode Maria has vowed never to do it again, but the fact that one of the main characters willingly took it up briefly, even if they regretted it, is a big shift from the original series.

Cue the Home Ec class teacher showing up to inform the boys that they'll have to bake a pie to pass the class and concludes her announcement with a question before walking away: "Did you think all you had to do was show up and eat?" Cue the boys scrambling to cram for the test. In another Season 4 episode "Karate Kids", Screech decides to fortify Mr. Belding's office for security purposes. Ryan talks Eric into volunteering alongside him as Screech's assistants, claiming that they would have no responsibilities to handle. After they volunteer, Screech tells them that they will have a lot of work to do.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_1994ba0b	type	Gone Horribly Right
Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: Some of the episode plots end up being this. Below are some examples: In the episode "Squash It". When Screech and Mr. Belding make the announcement for the annual school carnival, in which the winners, being the ones to sell the most tickets for their respective section of said carnival, get to share a fancy dinner and tickets to see Whitney Houston, Brian tricks the students in charge of the dunk tank into bailing out so that he and Rachel take over, with Brian being the target, with the intention on Brian's part being that he intends to win the prizes in order to impress Rachel with said dinner and tickets. When he and Rachel realize that they won't get many sales due to Brian being too nice, Brian adapts a jerkass act that helps to increase the ticket sales, eventually guaranteeing that he and Rachel win the prizes. The problem? Brian's facade works so well that the entire student population sans the other main characters turns against him, resulting in him getting dunked so many times that he develops a fever by the end of the carnival and must stay home to recover, while Rachel shares the prizes with her boyfriend from college instead. In "Tommy the Tenor", Megan, Rachel, and Lindsay join the Glee Club after Mr. Belding introduces the handsome new music teacher. When the girls realize that they all harbor a crush on said teacher, each of them secretly and separately buys a gag product from a peddler selling them and uses them later on the other girls before and during a Glee Club rehearsal. It wouldn't have been too disastrous, except for the facts that A) Mr. Belding and the school board director are also present during said rehearsal, and B) one of the gag products gets unwittingly passed around and used by most other Glee Club members as well, so that the Glee Club performance ends up much worse for it. Mr. Belding calls the girls out on it after the fact. Screech and Eric run into this problem in "Unequal Opportunity" when they try to help Mr. Belding run a yogurt vendor. At first, they make the yogurt sugar-free and fat-free, only to end up with bland-tasting products, as evidenced when others taste-test it. To counter the tasteless flaw, they then add a lot of sugar into the machine, but, as Mr. Belding points out, they now can't sell the product at the risk of false advertising.note They eventually bypass the problem by advertising the products on taste while claiming the deliciousness of the yogurt will make all the sugar-induced weight gain Worth It. In the episode "Mind Games": Mr. Belding, fed up with Screech's shaky organizational skills, has him attend an efficiency seminar. It works and Screech becomes more organized in his role... until he becomes obsessed with efficiency, prompting Mr. Belding to get Screech to dial back. Belding ends up using this as he claims Screech has done such a great job that there's no need for him to keep working for Belding and "fires" him. The idea of leaving Bayside is enough to shock Screech back to his old self.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_1c445e86	comment	The Season 5 episode "Liz's Choices" has a mutually-agreed-upon version of this trope. Maria and Katie drag Eric into being their date after Maria and Katie are dateless for the formal dance due to Eric misleading them by accident. Eric goes to the formal with Katie, while Maria is with "Derrick" — Eric with a dread-lock wig and a different outfit. This fails when Mr. Belding announces for a special dance for the members of the dance committee, which Maria and Katie both are, with their respective dates. Katie and Maria start to fight over Eric/Derrick, and Eric's wig falls off (he's still in his "Derrick" outfit at the moment) in the ensuing struggle as the result, much to the embarrassment of all three of them.

Here's the dialogue following his demonstration about his singing skill in "Tommy the Tenor": Rachel, based on her performance in the Season 4 episode "Vote Screech". Oddly, her singing skill is more decent in the Season 2 episode "Tommy the Tenor". Nicky, in the Season 6 episode "The Young and the Sleepless". Similar to Rachel, his performance is better in the Season 4 episode "Renaissance Faire".

The New Class had three black male leads and Eric, the longest-running black male lead in the franchise, was the only one who was romantically linked with one of the female leads and it wasn't until the final episodes of the final season. Even then, it was with Maria, the only other minority on the show.

It's only near the end of the episode, after Katie convinces her to hear him out, that Maria mellows out and warms up to him, especially after Tony finally gets to explain to her what happened.note He failed to show up at the Max when he was being interviewed for a job there and the process ran much later than he thought. As for the junior prom, Tony had to wear the outfit from his brother because his family couldn't afford a new one for him. Unfortunately for him, the outfit didn't fit him, and he became too self-conscious about it when he showed up at the school to let anyone else — Maria included — to see him in such a state, so he left.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_43ff290e	comment	Revolving Door Casting: Season 1 began with Mr. Belding, Megan, Weasel, Vicki, Scott, Lindsay and Tommy D. For Season 2, Weasel, Vicki, and Scott were dropped and replaced with Screech, Brian, Bobby, and Rachel. This was due to the six students in Season 1 merely being Expys of the original cast, and The College Years getting cancelled led to Dustin Diamond returning. For Season 3, Megan, Brian, and Bobby left, and R.J., Ryan and Maria arrived. For Season 4, Tommy D, Lindsay, and R.J. were dropped and Eric, Nicky, and Katie arrived. For Season 5, Rachel was replaced by Liz. For Season 6, Ryan was replaced by Tony. Seasons 6 and 7 were filmed concurrently so there were no further cast changes on the show. Only Mr. Belding was on the show from beginning to end.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_455c710d	comment	Gag Echo: From the Season 5 episode "Private Peterson": "I was born on a cold October day." Mr. Belding says this sentence earlier in the episode when Nicky expresses interest in becoming a school principal, leading to a Nap-Inducing Speak (see the entry below for more details) for Nicky. Near the end of the episode, Liz asks him how he became a principal, and Mr. Belding utters the sentence again while escorting Liz into his office, presumably to give her the same speech that he delivered to Nicky earlier.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Season 1 is quite distinct from the later seasons, even allowing for the frequent cast changes that ran throughout the show's run. Screech is entirely absent as he was still on The College Years meaning that Mr. Belding's role was much closer to that he had in the original series than the comic duo he was with Screech for most of this series. All the episodes were fixed at Bayside as against subsequent seasons where up to half the episodes could be focused on the mall or other out of school locations like a ski lodge or cruise ship. Scott is much more obviously the protagonist in a Zack Morris sense as against the more ensemble feel later on and like Zack he would regularly address the audience, a device later abandoned. Also Mr. Belding's office is the same as in the original series while from Season 2 on it is completely different.

In the end, he gets an F from his essay, fails to stay focused for the game, resulting in the team losing the game, and, worst of all, Drives Like Crazy when picking up his girlfriend (falling asleep behind the wheel at one point, barely avoiding collision with a vehicle from the opposing direction as a result) and crashes his car to the wall at the school ground when he fails to brake soon enough due to exhaustion, which, combined with the fact that he's already late for the dance to begin with, means that he won't be able to perform at the dance, though no one suffers from serious injuries or worse. Mr. Belding mentions at the end of the episode that thousands of teenagers die per year in car accidents due to sleep deprivation.

Discouraged, Nicky hands the balloons he's holding to Screech, and the sheer amount of balloons Screech is holding causes him to take flightnote (since they're indoor at the Max, however, Screech's safety isn't threatened).

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_72d30083	comment	Cheaters Never Prosper: When cheating takes place, expect the whole scheme to become undone before the end of the episode. Below are some examples: In the Season 2 episode "Tommy the Tenor", Brian decides to join the Glee Club after seeing Rachel getting accepted into it. Unfortunately for Brian, he's Hollywood Tone-Deaf, so he gets help from Tommy, who shows no desire of entering it, by lip-synching his piece during his audition, while Tommy, hiding in the nearby hallway, sings for real, resulting in Brian not only being accepted into the Glee Club but getting a solo part as well. When the school board director comes to hear the Glee Club rehearsing, Brian enlists Tommy's help once again, but this time the plan fails because Mr. Belding and the school board director encounter Tommy in the hallway on the way to said rehearsal and, assuming Tommy is there for moral support, drag him into the Glee Club classroom, forcing Brian to do his solo part, well, solo. It goes as well as one would expect. In the Season 3 episode "Driving School", Maria is failing her Driver's Ed class as she's getting her car for her 16th birthday, so she gets Screech to tamper with her Driver's Ed test score to get her passed. Later on, she hits Mr. Belding's car while driving her own with the other students, and Mr. Belding finds out at the end despite the best efforts from Screech and the students to cover it up. In the Season 5 episode "Her Brother's Keeper", Ryan and Eric learn of a movie trivia contest where the winning prize is a jet ski. Ryan can't enter due to being an employee of the sponsoring franchise that's behind the contest, so he gets Eric to enter in his stead, training him via having Eric watch many movies to get him prepared. When that fails to work, Ryan resorts to cheating by having Eric wear a concealed ear piece while Ryan, hiding out of sight, whispers answers on a coordinated device for Eric to repeat to Nicky, who serves as the contest host. Too bad for them Screech spots Ryan in the act on his mall security guard shift as the scheme is ongoing, prompting Screech to stage an Engineered Public Confession using the same means Ryan uses for cheating, before he proceeds to bust Ryan and Eric on the spot, which gets Eric disqualified.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_8409a385	comment	Screech suffers from this in the Season 4 episode "Balancing Act". To recap: Mr. Belding is planning to give a surprise birthday party to Screech, but Screech keeps nosing in for any trace of a birthday celebration. When he gets prematurely close to finding out, the students organizing the birthday party tell him that said party is for Mr. Belding instead, prompting an outraged Screech to volunteer to "help" — when, in truth, he's out for revenge for Mr. Belding's neglect for his birthday celebration (or so he thinks) — by ordering a cake from "Mr. Pie in the Face". When Screech learns the truth near the end of the episode, he's happy about it — except he forgets to cancel his order from Mr. Pie in the Face amidst all the joy. The episode ends when the birthday cake delivery guy shows up and asks for the birthday boy and Screech claims himself as such... splat

Saved by the Bell: The New Class / int_99ddfcec	comment	Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Some of the plot developments get hit by this. Here are some examples: In "Tommy the Tenor", each of the girls, upon realizing that they all harbor a crush on the Glee Club teacher, secretly and separately buys a gag product from a peddler selling them and uses them later on the other girls before and during a Glee Club rehearsal. Unfortunately, one of the products gets passed around to and used by the other members prior to said rehearsal as well, causing the overall performance to be much worse for it. Mr. Belding calls the girls out on it after the fact. In "Karate Kids", when Nicky feels that his manhood is threatened because Maria, as his girlfriend, appears tougher than he is, Ryan and Eric seek help from Screech for a scheme to restore Nicky's ego, which involves Ryan disguising himself as a burglar and Eric getting Nicky to the rescue, with Screech himself as a victim. Too bad Maria happens to be passing by at the moment the scheme is ongoing and, not knowing the "burglary" is all just a scheme, beats Ryan up before Nicky can act. Screech blurting out the whole thing to Maria, completely forgetting that Nicky is right there as well, only helps cause the whole scheme to fall apart. Maria and Katie drag Eric to the formal dance in a a mutually-agreed-upon version of a Two-Timer Date (see above) in the episode "Liz's Choices" to make themselves look better. It fails when Mr. Belding announces for a special dance for the members of the dance committee, which Maria and Katie both are, with their respective dates.

Katie, who doesn't appreciate being pressured like that, counters with a bluff of her own by claiming she asked another guy out for the dance and telling Nicky to say "yes" to the other girl. Fortunately, Maria helps Nicky to realize his mistake, and Nicky manages to apologize to Katie and rebuild the bridge in time for the dance. In the meanwhile, Eric tries to get a Girl of the Week to invite him to the Sadie Hawkins Dance, but the girl pays him no mind. At Maria's suggestion, he pretends to share the same interest as the girl's (in this case, it involves coin collection), which succeeds in getting her to ask him out for the dance. Unfortunately for him, she's so fanatical about the subject that she spends the whole time during the dance talking about it, making Eric regret being her date as the result, as the following dialogue illustrates:

To recap: Mr. Belding is planning to give a surprise birthday party to Screech, but Screech keeps nosing in for any trace of a birthday celebration. When he gets prematurely close to finding out, the students organizing the birthday party tell him that said party is for Mr. Belding instead, prompting an outraged Screech to volunteer to "help" — when, in truth, he's out for revenge for Mr. Belding's neglect for his birthday celebration (or so he thinks) — by ordering a cake from "Mr. Pie in the Face". When Screech learns the truth near the end of the episode, he's happy about it — except he forgets to cancel his order from Mr. Pie in the Face amidst all the joy. The episode ends when the birthday cake delivery guy shows up and asks for the birthday boy and Screech claims himself as such... splat Late in the Season 5 episode "Her Brother's Keeper", when Ryan decides to resort to cheating in order to win the prize for a contest he has Eric enter in his stead since he himself can't enter, he has Eric wear a concealed ear piece while he himself whisper the correct answers on a coordinated device so Eric can hear the answers and then repeat back in the contest proper. Screech spots Ryan in the act while the contest is ongoing and stages an Engineered Public Confession via the same means Ryan uses to cheat, before he proceeds to bust Ryan and Eric on the spot, resulting in Eric getting disqualified.

Lindsay and Ryan fall in love with R.J. and Rachel, respectively, and they're brought back to normal when the hypnosis instructor snaps his fingers the second time, but, unbeknownst to anyone, Tommy falls under the effect of the suggestion without being instructed to do so, and, therefore, is not cured of the hypnosis effect for the rest of the entire episode, unlike Lindsay and Ryan. As the result, Tommy falls in love, however briefly, with several people he sees under the hypnosis effect: Mr. Belding, a cafeteria lunch lady, a college guy he happens to be arm-wrestling against, and, finally, a Frat Bro.

He holds a raffle at the gym towards the end of the episode, only for the winner to turn out to be the very teacher Mr. Belding wishes to avoid parking next to -- worse yet for Mr. Belding, the prize is the guaranteed parking spot lasting throughout the school year. When Mr. Belding turns to Screech at this turn of events, Screech, who feels at his wit's end, decides to run out of the gym instead. Screech gets Ryan, Nicky, and Eric to bake a cake for the party he's throwing for Mr. Belding in "To Tell the Truth" after tasting their cake they present for their Home Economy class and feeling impressed by them. Unfortunately, Screech doesn't know that they merely bought the cake for the class and, therefore, can't bake. After Mr. Belding and Screech have a taste of the cake samples Ryan, Nicky, and Eric give to Screech (and run straight for the toilet as the result), the three of them decide to hightail out of there themselves.note That being said, they still remain inside the school ground, so it doesn't take long for Screech to find them and scrutinize the truth out of them.

When Eric shows signs of stage fright upon realizing a record producer will be present, Ryan tricks Eric into believing said record producer won't be there after all, which succeeds in relieving Eric of his stage fright, and, determined to make sure Eric doesn't lapse into his stage fright again, asks Screech to help keep the record producer hidden out of Eric's sight while Eric performs. The problem? Screech spends the same whole episode looking for someone to fix the broken air conditioner in Mr. Belding's office, and he sends the record producer into Mr. Belding's office for the repair once he finds out that said record producer knows how to do it, the result being that the record producer ends up repairing the air conditioner, injuring his hand in the process, throughout Eric's entire performances, meaning that, while Screech DOES manage to keep the record producer out of Eric's sight while Eric sings, it also means that said record producer never gets to hear Eric's performances at all, much to Ryan's immense dismay.
