The Saved by the Bell Saturday Morning Cartoon Preview

“Who Shrunk Saturday Morning? (September 9, 1989) Strange as it may seem, most people’s first experience of Saved by the Bell occurred on the Friday night before the show started airing in earnest on Saturday morning, but it wasn’t technically an episode of Saved by the Bell. It was NBC’s 1989 Saturday morning cartoon preview special, which featured Zack, Screech, Lisa and Slater (but specifically not Jessie and Kelly and CERTAINLY not Tori) getting beamed into a TV, where they meet ALF, John Candy and more in a promotional adventure into the new cartoons airing on the network this new season. Ironically, the success of Saved by the Bell would push NBC to cancel its cartoons altogether, so this is an extra weird bit of TV history, but then again, Saved by the Bell is a really weird show.
