Twenty-six episodes of Saved by the Bell: The New Class were produced for the series' sixth season. However, only 13 were telecast, with the remaining 13 withheld from view until the series' seventh and final year on the air. Virtually all of the regulars seen in season five have returned to Bayside High School this term. The only "dropout" is Richard Lee Jackson as Ryan, while the sole newcomer is Tom Wade Huntington as Tony. This last-named character figures into one of the series' traditional "problem" episodes, in which the students try to dissuade Tony from smoking cigarettes. Another example of a "serious" issue amidst all the hilarity is the episode in which student Katie (Lindsey McKeon) must fend off the sexual harassment of her new boss. Inasmuch as season six of The New Class has been literally cut in half, the season ends with the obligatory Christmas episode.
