Saved by the Bell: The New Class
Bayside kept and the pupils replaced, for seven seasons rather more than anyone had expected.
Saved by the Bell: The New Class rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1, 6 and 7, running between 64 and 71 seconds.
At 71 seconds at its longest, it opens well above the 38-second median for comedy sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on NBC in 1993, when Another World, Columbo and Mad About You were also on the network.
Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Saved by the Bell: The New Class did so once.
