Freeze Frame (1990)
tape over it
forget it. this made for TV movie is not worth the time. the plot has something to do with mystery and a pseudo teenaged journalist (played by Shannen Doherty). totals to zero. don't rent it, don't buy it, don't watch it. save your brain cells and IQ points and rent something more worthwhile.
Saved by the Bell (1989)
classic pseudo high school life
Of course this show is highly unbelievable, hence its being on television. However, Saved By The Bell is entertaining...and that's why people still watch it. No one actually believes that this group of friends has that many classes together; nor that they dress nicely to go to school everyday. Likewise, no one has ever claimed it to be "true to life." The characters are thorough, funny, and each represent a facet of a total personality. Thus, together they form a whole person.
This show was also the first of its kind. Before it, all shows were geared toward the adult demographic and excluded an entire generation. So it is a definite possibility that its success was due to the fact that there simply wasn't anything else to watch. However, the situations presented in the show, though hard to believe, do occasionally hit close to home.
Basically, the show is classic. Watch it for its sheer cheesiness if for nothing else, but watch it anyway.
