Mark-Paul Gosselaar is speaking out after Peacock canceled the "Saved by the Bell" reboot after two seasons, per Deadline. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said he was "upset with NBC for canceling that" and called it "premature, especially on Peacock." He also said the cast "really helped expose that network."
NBC. Peacock. Same sentence. Same company. It's like getting fired by the restaurant and then filing a separate complaint against the dining room. Comcast is the restaurant.
But the real story is the word "premature." The reboot got two seasons. "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" didn't get one in 1993. "Found," the 2023 NBC show he starred in, got two. Zack Morris's career is a montage of cancellations, and every one of them ends the same way: the bell rings, and nobody shows up for class. Gosselaar says the show "brought people" to the network. The network agreed. It just moved them somewhere else. The only thing saved by the bell here is the residuals.
YOUR TURN: Which of his next two-season runs gets canceled first?
