If you were a child of the 80s, NBC's TV sitcom series Saved By The Bell is sure to have a special place in your heart. With its upbeat plotlines that addressed darker moral issues such as drug use or divorce, SBTB entertained millions of teenagers during its airing from 1989 to 1993. After the show's cancellation the high school sitcom quickly became a cult favourite with many in their twenties or thirties reminiscing about the life lessons they learned as well as the hilarious hijinks of mischievous Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), nerdy Samuel "Screech" Powers (Dustin Diamond) and all-American cheerleader, Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen).
