Being born in late ‘84 (exactly when it started), I only remember it’s final season on prime time syndication. I saw this original episode in 1990 on a rerun on local tv & saw it again for the first time since then a few weeks ago on Peacock after learning about the revival that airs this February. This show is the most hauntingly nostalgic & touching show I’ve watched throughout my entire life.

@@nolongshots Yeah you're right. It's disappointing because it should have been kept in syndication so younger generations could discover it and enjoy it like you and I were able to. It's odd that Punky Brewster was never really rerun that much yet Saved by the Bell has practically never been off the air in over thirty years. Maybe it's because Saved By the Bell had a campy quality that appealed to teenage and an older audience while Punky Brewster mostly appealed to children.
