One of the most iconic "kids shows" of the late 1980s-the early 1990s was "Saved By The Bell."  The live-action Saturday morning show dealt with the adventures of "Zach," "Slater," "Jessie," "Kelly," and more at a fictional Bayside High School in California.

The show made stars of Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez (pictured above), Elizabeth Berkley, and Tiffani Thiessen.

And now, they're returning to their iconic roles (along with a new cast) for a "Saved By The Bell" revival series on NBC's new Peacock streaming service.

The official synopsis is:  "When California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the highest performing schools in the state – including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the over-privileged Bayside kids a much needed and hilarious dose of reality in this comedy inspired by the classic late ’80s/early ’90s sitcom of the same name."
