>Saved by the Bell. I watched that everyday in my teens. The original was great, but the New Class felt like a cheap rip off. When they brought Screech back I knew the show was done.

Like many comedies, good at the beginning but lose their way aftetr a few series. Usuallyt when there;s no mention of the theme or raison d'etre of the show, in later episodes, is when you know it's done for. e.g Frasier toward the end would hardly feature him at the radio station at all.

>My friends in college thought it was funny that they could say one random little thing about SBTB, and I could tell them right off the top of my head what episode it was in and the moral of that episode, and sometimes I could even come up with quotes. And I can't recall right now what I had for supper last night...

Yeah, my grandma, when she went senile, she could recall every detail of life during the war, where she worked, the washhouse she went to with the clothes, but couldn't remember day-to-day things either.
