I never knew there was a different version and opening sequence to the credits...I don't even remember this from when it was on Saturday mornings on NBC...this must be really rare!
Yes this is the theme for the first two seasons. for some reason the syndicated reruns use 1991 and beyond theme. Who knows why this show was tampered with for syndication. I think every season of ANY show should have the appropriate theme that was meant for that season, and not be attaching later versions to earlier episodes or vice versa.
@cmulwee001 okay, so what I don't get about Saved By The Bell which I think may confuse others is, in between the time when Good Morning Miss Bliss was on Disney and the version that everyone knows of which is still on TBS and what was syndicated on NBC, when did Saved By The Bell actually come on? Was it always a Saturday morning show because I started watching in fall of 1991.
@cmulwee001 It's likely that when they switched theme songs, they wanted to have syndication be "the same."
As for the DVDs, they actually shift between this and the other, more common version due to the syndicated versions being used (why they didn't use the original edits is beyond me...maybe they were damaged).
I remember this intro when i was 4 years old. This was during season 1, at least that's what i remember. it's too bad they don't show this one anymore where i live
The way I remember it is that this version aired a couple of times during the 1989-1990 season(first saturday morning season), and then for most of the 1990-1991 season. You don't see it in syndication because they tacked the 1991-1992 intro on all the reruns.
well this was back in the day when they took a minute to entertain people with a song and the opening credits before the show started. Opening credits were often my favorite part of some shows.
This original isn't as good as the later version. Michael Damian was a big star back then and on an NBC daytime soap I think, so they probably wanted someone high profile to do the theme. But I'm glad they changed it.
The later version is the original version actually. It was used, then pulled then used again. When GMMB aired in 90' on NBC, the Michale Damian version was used in the opening as well.
True but the other version was first originally then months later, it was pulled and Michael Damian's was used for a year and a half til' september 1991.
i'm glad someone agrees w/ me. even tho michael damian was a "pop star".. i think his version sounds totally silly. plus the guitar solo is better in the other version as well.
This version is from the middle of season one. The version we hear 2day was originally used and then replaced with this one for a year and a half. Fall of 91', the original was used in syndication and in first run.
I think I have 3, 4 different versions of the Saved by The Bell intro? Recorded form the Dutch Nickelodeon in 2004. Now SBTB isn't aired anymore in The Netherlands :(
IVE NEVER HEARD THIS ONE IN MY LIFE!!!!! ive been watching saved by the bell since i was like 10-12 and im 23 now and i actually still watch it sometimes...LOL and i never heard this!...
I thought I remembered a version that was slightly more "rocking," for lack of a better term. When SBTB was on Saturday mornings, this was the version of the theme. Once it went into syndication, it became the theme we call came to know and love.
In 2007, a person named majorcleavagebleach was uploading some fake anime videos on youtube and then suddenly in a blink of a eye he got totally raped by group of rabid anime fans. With his final breath he said "Nah nigga you a bat!", then coughed up some blood and died :P.Now that you have read this message,he will find you and his dead body will haunt your house for 7 years.
You know what? I was wondering why in the opening credits why do they show some clips of them being younger with the clips when they become a little older. This version shows when they were slightly younger. SBTB has edited their opening so much. Now, I understand. It was only done for syndication.
I have never seen this opening, well, at least not to my knowledge. I don't like it.
I remember this opening from 1990 and 1991 on NBC. When the show first started, it used the opening that we hear today in syndication then it was switched to the Michael Damian version during mid season. Almost two years later, we got the original version back which I was happy with to begin with. When NBC aired three Miss Bliss episodes, the Michael Damian version was used as well.
Yeah, during the first season it was as follows: ZACK LISA SCREECH KELLY SLATER then JESSIE. This is the ORIGINAL vesrion of the season two credits, the opening credits they ALWAYS show now are from season three on.
Thanks, i was looking for this version because i like it better. This one was aired with the very first episodes, when they were younger, but later change to the other one that everybody knows when they grew up drastically.
By 1991, of course the clips used in the opening were updated and used throught the rest of the series and even used for seasons one and two in syndication.
The only way to see original openings is to watch the DVDs or view actual episodes taped from a VCR between 1989 and 1991
I wish TBS would start showing more episodes from the other seasons, because I haven't got to see any of them. I still think its stupid that they made a new class though.
When the show was first aired in the UK, and even now on the syndi eps, this version is used on some season 1 and most of season 2. On ITV, Channel 4, TCC, Trouble and Nickelodeon, this version was used on:
And The Babysitters Blind Dates The Prom Zack's War Save the Max Driver's Education House Party Blind Dates Rent-a-Pop Miss Bayside Jessie's Song Model Students 1-900-Crushed Running Zack From Nurse to Worse
This is almost the same as the DVD box set, except on the DVD's a lot of these season 2 eps have the original version. Also, the DVD's use this Michael Damian version on episodes like The Election and Aloha Slater, also.
Right...Same with the ORIGINAL (also "different") Fresh Prince and Full House theme songs. Those ones were just cut, but this one had an entirely different singer. Thanks for the dates and names!!
I don't recall ever hearing this version of the song from the years and years of reruns that I've watched. I have the DVD boxset and they play this version though.
this version is someone singing over the original...it never changed, except from the good morning miss bliss intro to the one we hear and see everytime we watch SBTB...good try tho
You have to consider that when they first went to Bayside none them looked like they did when they were seniors. The intro changed the year Zack and Kelly broke up. And the reason why you see this one on all the syndicated episodes is the same reason why The Simpsons intro is cut short. Cost!
Holy mother, that was almost surreal. I've watched this show billions of times over the past 13-14 years and have NEVER seen this intro. And here I thought I was a SBTB buff. Why isn't this theme ever used in reruns??
