"Saved by the Bell" turns 20

We're going to take a break from blogging about "serious issues" - you know, like Wolverine and Jessica Simpson - so that we might touch on something frivolous that brought joy to many of our generation.

According to the annals of television history, the 20th anniversary of "Saved by the Bell" is upon us.

We know what you're thinking. We feel really old too.

Remember how Zack Morris would stop time, or talk on a cell phone the size of a brick?

Remember how much of a crush all the guys had on Kelly Kapowski?

Remember Screech's unrequited crush on Lisa Turtle - quite possibly the only black student at Bayside High School?

Remember when they all started a band called the "Zack Attack" which, despite the fact that none of them could play instruments, rocked the house? (And by "the house" of course we mean "The Max.")

Remember the "very special episodes" when the guys got drunk at a toga party than crashed a car, or when Jessie Spano started taking pills because she was over committed at school than crashed into a sobbing, emotional heap shouting, "THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH TIME!!!" She was, of course, "so excited...so excited...so...scared!"

Because this was brilliant television, Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night" created an online petition you can sign if you'd like to see the cast of SBTB reunite on his show. We're proud to admit that we were numbers 26,582 and 26,583.

You know you'd all tune in to this, so sign it and show some love for the most awesomely bad Saturday morning sit-com of all time. Even Mr. Belding would do it.
