Please Tell me they are Joking [Saved by the Bell on CN]

Adult Swim has done it again! Following hot on the heels of Fox's Family Guy, Saved By The Bell has been pulled from cancellation with an order for 30 all new episodes taking place at Bayside High.

"We were ecstatic when we saw the early numbers on Saved By the Bell on Adult Swim," said Matt Laster, the VP of Turner Entertainment's newly created 80's Reclamation Department. "We knew this had the potential to be big, but we never thought it would be this big. The fans have really shown their support and come out in droves on the adultswim.com website."

According to Laster, the new series is still in development but he did say that almost all of the original cast would be returning, minus "Showgirls" star Elizabeth Berkley. The series will follow the events after Saved By the Bell: The New Class and find Screech as the new principal of Bayside and a retired Mr. Belding as the proprietor of the Max, the hangout that the Saved By the Bell gang frequented. Screech is overwhelmed by the new group of students and puts out a call for help, and soon, all of the old regulars are back at Bayside. Laster would not elaborate on the status of Zack and Kelly's relationship, though the couple were last seen walking down the aisle.

"I've spoken to the crew and they really can't wait to get back together," said Laster. "We think this will be a fun and exciting new direction for Adult Swim and we can't wait to find even more great 80's comedies for Adult Swim."

I don't buy it ether people hear all kinds of rumors about stuff like this and they usually arent true

And if it IS a rumor and they put it on the site for some reason, then this is a sick joke and I have no respect for anyone at Adult Swim.

I hope Zack and Kelly are still together.

I'm sure it's a joke. The whole thing has been one big joke that's mainly funny to the AS guys. I'm sure they're doubling over with laughter at how much they've aggravated anime fans.

I'm pretty sure that this is a joke. They've made funny actions before. If you remember the April Fool's Day stuff, then you know what I'm talking about. They replaced two episodes of Inuyasha with Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos and put fart sounds into Fullmetal Alchemist.
