This true '90s classic may have a reputation for some of its more cloying or over-the-top moments, but to only focus on that overlooks how big a cultural impact it had. Set among a group of pals at a California high school, "Saved by the Bell" alternates between goofy teenage hijinks and attempts to address some of the more serious issues teenagers face. There are love triangles, strained friendships, family troubles, and all those staples of ever teen show ever, but "Saved by the Bell" does its best to teach a few lessons about what really matters in life. It might be a little cheesy and earnest at times, but that earnestness is also very much part of its enduring charm.
