Saved by the Bell: The College Years - Wasn't it enough that Zack Morris and company graduated high school and went on to a mediocre and short-lived college series? While their antics seemed endearing, the legend of Dustin Diamond's Screech Powers should have ended there. Instead, he lived on for almost seven merciless seasons with the rotating cast of student characters. Mr. Belding never clicked with anyone quite like he did with Zach and nothing rivals Mark Paul Gosselaar's "Time Outs" to address the audience.


Length of show's run: 7 seasons

Note: There is, of course, a difference between a spinoff and a remake. A spinoff is when a character is introduced on an existing series and spun off onto their own series. Think Melrose Place. A remake is when an older show has been remade with a younger, flashier cast. Think 90210 (not to be confused with Beverly Hills 90210).
