It’s [on its way](https://www.vulture.com/2019/09/saved-by-the-bell-revival-elizabeth-berkley-mario-lopez.html).

I looks like Lark Voorhies won’t be back, unfortunately, but Elizabeth Berkley will be. I’ll admit I used to have a crush on both of them back in the day. I won’t be watching though.

That’s a sequel not a reboot.

So Zack is the governor of California and he’s in political trouble for closing too many low-income schools? What a wonderfully hilarious premise!

The actual premise is “poor kids get shoved into preppy highschools”, that’s just set up.

Looks like the only old cast with a real role are Elizabeth Berkley and Mario Lopez. I guess no one wants to hang out with Dustin Diamond these days anyway.

I already pay Comcast for cable/internet/phone service, and they own NBC Universal. So I’m wondering if they’ll bundle the Peacock streaming service into the same monthly fee I’m already paying, or at least offer a substantial discount.

In other streaming news, you may have heard that Netflix bought the streaming rights to Seinfeld starting in 2021 (for something like $500 million) and HBO Max (yes, they have a streaming service too) bought the rights to The Big Bang Theory for something in the neighborhood of a billion dollars. (HBO Max also will have Friends.)
