Jimmy Fallon is Working on a "Saved by the Bell" Reunion!!!

Growing up, one of my favorite shows of all time was Saved by the Bell. The original show was where it was at. The College Years and The New Class were both well and good but none compared to the original. (We all know that sequels, prequels, spin-offs never can never really compare to their predecessors. For example: We all know the movie Grease but how many people have ever even heard of Grease 2 starring a very young Michele Pfeifer?)

It has been 20 years since the show began. (I can't believe it's been that long already!!!) In honor of this fact, Jimmy Fallon (host of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) has decided to try and put together a Saved by the Bell (SBTB) Reunion on his show. This is pretty exciting for anyone who was as avid a fan as I was!!! (While I was in college, someone gave a speech and referenced SBTB. Everyone bonded over it. That goes to show how popular the show was when we were growing up.)

Now, those of you who weren't fans may be scoffing at this idea, wondering, "What's the big deal??? It was just a show!!!" My response is, "Didn't you have something in your life when you were growing up that you would love to have again, even if just for a moment?"

Actually, you know what? I don't believe I can put it any better than Mario Lopez did when he recently showed up at The Late Show. Watch the clip below (which is actually a tribute to an episode where A.C. Slater gives a speech of a similar sort) and you'll understand:



If you couldn't before, I hope you can now relate. Please, sign the petition and help us put together a full
SBTB Reunion!!! (Jimmy Fallon calls it "The Impossible Dream". So, let's go ahead and) "Dream the Impossible Dream!!!"
