ComedyFamilyRomance23 min per episode

At California’s Bayside High, schemer Zack Morris and his circle turn classes, dates, school dances, and finals into daily misadventures. Mark-Paul Gosselaar is Zack, the quick-talking center of the group, forever cooking up plans that usually land him in trouble. Around him, friendships and rivalries shift between Kelly, Jessie, Lisa, Screech, and Slater as the show moves from cafeteria jokes to teenage breakups and the occasional more serious school problem. Dennis Haskins’s Principal Richard Belding spends much of his time trying to keep the students — and especially Zack — in line.
