2. Why?
:shrug:

Thought Adult Swim was for, well, adults. Or at least people comfortable with dirty humor.

7. Not a Cartoon. Not Adult. No swimming.
:shrug: There have to be a hundred other shows that they could have picked over Saved By the Bell.

15. I thought Adult Swim was for cartoons. Aimed at adults.
Saved By The Bell isn't a cartoon OR aimed at adults (unless its once-child fans have now grown up and still want to watch it).

18. The original, or "SBTB: The New Class"?
Guess it doesn't matter, they both sucked anyway.

Except for the chicks. They were hot, in a big-hair '80s kind of way.

22. Is that why they've put the brackets in the bottom right corner...
that say something along the lines of "crappy old live action show network"?

24. I see this situation as humorous. I think that they might be...
intentionally putting a shitty show on their line up that doesn't fit the proper criterea for even being on that channel as some kind of joke. The ultimate fuck-up and shirking of duty.

Fans Embrace "Saved by the Bell"

AdultSwim.com fans have been quick to share their feelings over the two-week trial run of Saved By the Bell on Adult Swim. Message Board users have come together in an uncharacteristic display of good tidings and cheer to send out helpful messages and memos to the Williams Street staff.

"...this has to be a joke..if it isnt.... someone at Williams Street Must DIE!" - lazerhaze

"This SBTB **bleep** had better be a joke! Or there'll be a jihad for the next two weeks!" - Real AirCooledMan

"How can you taint the best few hours of my life with such crap! By crap I mean Saved by the bell, weak move adultswim." - Kanluga

"If it's a joke it's nowhere near funny." - Zahaaticus

"Yes!!!! We're one step closer to getting Murder She Wrote on . Excellent move." - Hong Kong Phooey

"...what is with putting Saved by the Bell on the network? c'mon, did you guys get taken over by a bunch of 40 year old child molestors?" - Aqua Link

"So this is what TBS gives back to AS for AS giving them Family Guy, Oblongs, Mission Hill and Futurama." - thephantom22

"...if I wanted to watch washed up shows that were cancelled years ago, I'd just turn on G4." - SpamMePlease

To join in the love fest, head to the message boards now.


So hopefully, they'll be done messing with us soon.

26. Weird...
It really doesn't fit at all, if true. Although besides "Family Guy", I don't watch Adult Swim anyway. Too many "weird for the sake of being weird" shows.

28. WTF? That's not even a Cartoon!
And WTF was with all the live-action movies over spring break!

If they wanted something good, they should bring back Batman: The Animated Series.

36. Isn't that the truth about marathons though.
I remember sitting up with my sister once, all night, watching that stupid Mtv reality show about WWE wrestlers. Neither of us had seen it before, but we were compelled to watch the whole season in one sitting. WTF?

40. Adult Swim has been going downhill lately
they canceled the best shows, Home Movies and The Brak Show, put on some real bad amateur looking crap, and too much anime.
