Saved by the Bell: The New Class: Season 01 on AllMovie

Debuting just after the cancellation of its predecessor, Saved by the Bell, Saved by the Bell: The New Class begins its first season as Principal Richard Belding (Dennis Haskins) trepidly prepares to welcome the new sophomore class at Bayside High School. This year's crop of newcomers include Scott (Robert Sutherland Telfer), "Weasel" (Isaac Lidsky), "Tommy D" (Jonathan Angel), Megan (Bianca Lawson), Lindsay (Natalia Cigliuti), and Vicki (Bonnie Russavage). As before, the kids deal with the trials and tribulations of teenhood with a heady combination of humor and pathos. Episodes worth noting during season one include "Belding's Baby," which makes pointed references to Saved by the Bell's "sister" series California Dreams; "Good-bye Megan," featuring Richard Lawson as the father of student Megan Jones (played by the actor's real-life daughter Bianca Lawson); and "Swap Meet," which introduces Sarah Lancaster as Rachel Meyers, who would become a regular during the series' second season.
