Summary: Growing Up with a Classic
Review: When I was in grade school Save by the Bell was my favorit show after school. Today I watch it over and over on DVD and it still is a classic show with childhood memeroies. The Save by the Bell gang was awsome and I enjoyed the break-ups, fights and adventures they shared together. An old show with a positive setting for ALL ages to enjoy that you can't find today!!!! Thank you Lions Gate!

Summary: Saved By The Bell is The Best
Review: I Don't really care what other people say about the misleading episodes and phrases. I Grew up watchin Saved By the Bell. I purchased Seasons 1 through 4 and Season 1 of College Years at CALU. If you are a true fan of Saved By The Bell. You would'nt care what seasons were on which disc. All That matters is that you have the DVD of all the episodes. That's All that matters to me.

Summary: Just to clarify...
Review: * The Saved by the Bell DVD sets are not 'missing episodes' as previous reviewers have claimed. The episodes sited are not in this set, but there is a reason for this.
* The sets are being released in full seasons BASED ON NBC's PRODUCTION NUMBERING SYSTEM. The episodes are presented not in chronological order, but in the order NBC had numbered them.
I hope this clears up any confusion. There have always been questions about how the Saved by the Bell seasons actually are broken down, because of the show's airing Saturday mornings instead of in a normal prime time schedule, and because of the "Malibu Sands" and "Tori Episodes" season divisions.
* There are, in fact, FIVE seasons of Saved by the Bell according to NBC records, and the seasons do not break down evenly with the years the gang is in high school. For example, there are episodes that take place in the 10th grade, or second year of high school, that were not actually aired until the THIRD season of the show. Because of this, NBC has numbered these episodes as being part of the third season. They were not 'missing' from the first DVD set, but rather considered under this system to be included in the DVD set for Seasons Three and Four. The decision to release the episodes according to this system also accounts for the 'jumping around' in continuity.
* Just know that Lion's Gate has been good enough to bring us Saved by the Bell on DVD. And the improved packaging and commentary overshadow the inconveinience of having the episodes presented 'out of order' in terms of chronology. And wait for a Season Five release before you get upset over 'missing episodes'

Summary: VERY DISAPPOINTED!
Review: ... I am Screechless! Well, speechless actually. I ordered the first two seasons, and enjoyed them, besides the fact that some of the episode orders and seasons were screwed up. But this box set is disappointing! First, the third season contains episodes that actually belong in the second season! But this is where it gets worse. There are NO season four episodes in this box set at all! I Cross-referenced the episodes on the DVD's with those listesd on a few detailed television bible sites, and discovered that none of the season four titles listed on the sites corresponded with those listed in the box set. Those that are listed for the fourth DVD are not from season four, but the last episodes from season three. I am really disappointed, and feel that I did not get what I expected. The title of the box set, "Saved by the Bell, Seasons 3 & 4", as well as the back of the box set, which reads, "For the first time ever on DVD, the complete THIRD and FOURTH SEASON of Saved by the Bell," is very misleading, and is actually fraudulant in their descriptions! I am disappointed....

Summary: It's Alright...
Review: After being very disappointed with the 1st and 2nd season's DVD boxed sets, I purchased season 3 and 4 for mostly archival purposes. I am in a constant state of paranoid fear that someday TBS will stop showing Saved By the Bell in syndication, so the fact that these boxed sets are available at all is reason enough for me to buy them.

The absence of special features, coupled with the shoddy packaging of the first boxed set made me very angry, despite the relatively low price of the set for two seasons. I, as had many other fans, vented my rage on Amazon.com...and Lion's Gate or NBC Entertainment (or what have you) listened!! And good for them.

However, there is still quite a bit of room for improvement. The packaging still leaves much to be desired. Although the cardboard is more substantial, it is still a funky fold-out without an outer box. I commend them on their decision to put any stickers on the outside of the shrink wrap so that upon removal, the cardboard does not rip. Cool beans.

The back cover boasts commentary from cast members and this is somewhat misleading. Commentary is found on only a few episodes by some combination of the following: Peter Engel (producer), Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding), Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle), and Dustin Diamond (if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you). The commentaries that exclusively feature by Peter Engel are unlistenable. He sounds like a retarded old man reading a prepared statement. Those commentaries that feature the actors, however, are well worth the price of admission. On one episode, Dustin Diamond does the commentary solo and the result is pure brilliance. His attitude toward being a formerchildstar is as healthy as I've ever seen-such an attitude translates well to episode commentary. He's loose, he's witty, he's Sceech.

Always frustrating, of course, is the order of the episodes. I'm still very confused about what happened when and who the hell Tori is. The "Malibu Sands" episodes are all out of order, spliced by other episodes that take place at the school-so confusing.

And let me let you in on a funny little secret (I have to give my husband full credit for spotting this). In one of the pictures of the cast on the box, there is a picture with all the kids and Mr. Belding. That picture is actually from the "No Hope With Dope" episode, which featured then-NBC president Brandon Tartikoff. Mr. Belding's head was photo-shopped on to Brandon Tartikoff's body. It's really corny.

Overall, it was a good second try. Hopefully, the third time will be the charm. I really look forward to getting explanations for certain issues that have plagued me and so many others of my generation since seventh grade. In the first Tori episode, why does Slater dance with a tree? Is there any transition whatsoever between the Jessie/Kelly and the Tori episodes that I somehow missed? WHO IS TORI???

Summary: Amazing!!! Builds further on the first set!!!
Review: Alright to start off, I would like to say these episodes are not out of order like everyone is complaining about! They put the episodes based on NBC's airdate order, so thats why they seem out of order. I was thoroughly pleased with the Seasons 1+2 set even though it did not contain any extras, I am just happy to have all the episodes on DVD. This set has the episodes from the 3rd and 4th seasons plus commentaries on multiple episodes by Exec Producer Peter Engle, Dustin Diamond(Screech), Lark Voorhies(Lisa), and Dennis Haskins(Mr. Belding) There are 3 commentaries with just Peter Engle, and these are so bad it's hilarious. Then there are two commentaries by Diamond, Voorhies, and Haskins, and these are really entertaining. However, the best of the commentaries occur when Engle, Diamond, Voorhies, and Haskins get together. Not only are these interesting, they are hilarious! Dustin Diamond spends the whole episode making fun of Peter Engle. Overall, an amazing set and definately worth buying!

Summary: SBTB mi programa Favorito!!
Review: Estoy muy emocionada por la oportunidad de tener estos DVD Season 1&2 y Season 3&4 y pasar horas y horas viendo a Zack, Kelly, Slater, Screech, Jessy y Lisa. Sobre todo que fueron tan amables de incluir subtitulos en español para todos los fans de Latinoamerica.
Algo curioso es que por primera vez en 10 años he podido escuchar la voz de Zack en inglés, ya que en América Latina Salvado por la Campana era doblado al español.
Saludos y Gracias, es el mejor regalo que pude tener.
