Bewertung von sprockets86
As a kid born in 1985, I became of a learning age around 1990. At that time, SAVED BY THE BELL was just starting off. Zack, Slater, Kelly, Screech, Lisa, Jessie, Mr. Belding... they were all there. Reruns started about two years after that.
And the reruns messed with my head.
You see, I had no prior knowledge that this Bayside-based high school sitcom actually had roots in a former show entitled GOOD MORNING, MISS BLISS. But apparently everyone else had, so there were no explanations when these episodes were aired under the SAVED BY THE BELL moniker and threw my entire viewing experience off its axis.
It was ve-e-e-ery '80s. Zack was pretty young (around 14 or 15?) and he was aside a prepubescent Screech and two new kids that seemed to be 1989 in the raw. Miss Bliss was weird; and the episode where they invest in potatoes is just damn bizarre.
Like the entire show.

JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK (*** out of **** for Kevin Smith Junkies)
You'll wet your pants at the return of Dante and Randal. Brodie will hit you like a lightning bolt, and you'll go into an overload as Holden flashes onto the screen with a hilarious send-up of Jay's entrance in CHASING AMY.
For those of you who adored MALLRATS and hailed it Smith's best work, this is the movie you've waited for since '95. JAY AND SILENT BOB is the second View Askew movie to not contain a trace of dramatic content, and to those who looked down on 'RATS, well, this one will simply please you because A, it's the Askewniverse, and B, it's got *everyone* you've missed during the years.
A nice end to the series, but one can wish for something more... along the lines of the CLERKS: SELLIN' OUT coming out next year. But until then, this will hold our cravings down.
JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK (** out of **** for View Askew virgins)
It's very simplistic, with no real character development save the two title stars. They live in a world we apparently should know, but any lack of knowledge on Smith's previous works will drop you from this loop in an instant. It's enjoyable from start to finish, but you can tell it's nothing special.
JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK (My final thoughts)
I enjoyed it. Very much so, in fact. But I can see why it got so many mixed reviews, and why many have complained that it honors Kevin Smith's fictional universe so much. However, it should be noted that although this is not considered a sequel, it is the final chapter in a series, and should be viewed in succession to get the full effect.

When the show premiered in 1996, it was good. Craig Kilborn and his staff of oddball reporters showed signs of comedic genius. Five questions were always a pleasure, and the highlight for me had to be the scene from LEGEND OF RICKY in that segment's video opening.
But when John Stewart came, so did the greatness. Mo Rocca, Vance DeGeneres, Stephen Colbert, Nancy Walls, and Steve Corral, as well as the always funny Lewis Black and hilarious Frank DeCaro replaced the correspondence team--and have done very, very well. THE DAILY SHOW has grown from the small, mock news program/night show it once was into something completely new and fun. During the conventions last year, THE DAILY SHOW broke coverage of our current president with an erection while hearing his name nominated. Now this is crude, but in the context of the event, and the fact that it is pretty hard to doctor something like that, this six minute segment was perhaps the funniest in the show's history.
And it just keeps getting better. Its correspondents are better than ever (Colbert especially), and it is gradually gaining respect as a real news program. A reward for anyone interested in news and comedy--I wholeheartedly recommend you check this gem out if you haven't already!
