In celebration of this show’s 25th anniversary this year, Saved by the Bell, which aired on NBC from 1989 to 1993, includes everyone’s favorite Bayside High characters — Zack, Slater, Kelly, Jessie, Lisa, Screech and Mr. Belding. The digital comic returns to freshman year in all-new, present-day adventures.

Do you remember watching Saved by the Bell, in syndication, for the entire decade? Do you? Though the original show only lasted four seasons (before the abomination known as College Years), SBTB was syndicated relentlessly. It was on for two consecutive hours, every day, right after school, forever. And, we didn’t know we wanted it, but here it is.
