Saved by the Bell: The New Class - Season 02

The second season of Saved by the Bell: The New Class marks the return of (arguably) the most popular character from the original Saved by the Bell: Dustin Diamond as the estimable Samuel "Screech" Powers, now a college student doing his academic internship as administrative assistant to Bayside High School principal Richard Belding (Dennis Haskins). Of the students introduced during season one, only "Tommy D" (Jonathan Angel), Lindsay (Natalia Cigliuti), and Megan (Bianca Lawson) remain; gone are Scott, "Weasel," and Vicki, replaced by Bobby Wilson (Spankee Rogers), Swiss exchange student Brian Keller (Christian Oliver), and Rachel Myers (Sarah Lancaster), a recurring character elevated to regular for season two. Highlights this season include a cycle of "summer" episodes in which Mr. Belding and Screech manage the Palisades Hills Country Club, hiring the other regulars as temporary help. Also worthy of mention is the episode "Breaking Up," featuring Kim Baranof's one and only appearance as Brian Keller's sister Kate; and the two-part season finale, in which it appears for a time that Bayside will be closing its doors -- prompting return guest appearances by Saved by the Bell alumni Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies), and A.C. Slater (Mario López). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
