Saved by the Bell: The Complete Collection



Barely Gets A Passing Grade
This review will not focus on the merits of this enduring TV series since anyone visiting this page already likes it enough to possibly buy it on DVD. Rather, this review will hopefully clear up the confusion regarding exactly what is being offered with this Complete Series Collection. Lionsgate originally released Seasons 1 & 2, Seasons 3 & 4, and Season 5 on DVD from 2003 to 2005. This 2013 Complete Series Collection simply repackages the exact same DVDs from the previous sets, with no additional re-mastering done. The picture is in its original full frame 1.33:1 aspect ratio while the audio is in 2.0 Dolby digital stereo, with the episodes arranged in order of air date and not storyline order. There are 13 discs total spanning all 5 seasons of 86 episodes,...

So out of order
So, I knew that the Miss Bliss episodes weren't going to be on there, but this set up was not that good.
The episodes are sooooooo out of order. Even some of the seasons were mixed up. It's an ok set just to have, but annoying as all hell when it jumps around.

Still no Miss Bliss...
I just can't see a reason for anyone to buy this if they already have the individual season sets. This 'complete' collection is nothing more than repackaging in a slimmer case and is missing the made for TV movies. A real complete collection would give us all the episodes from Good Morning Miss Bliss (with or without the syndicated introductions), Saved by the Bell, and the College Years remasted and uncut. Give me that and I won't even need special features, hell, just give us Good Morning Miss Bliss and I'll be happy.
