Center
Primary
Saved by the Bell is rated as neutral/centrist because its central focus is on apolitical themes of adolescent life, friendship, and personal growth, consistently avoiding explicit political commentary or ideological promotion.
The original 'Saved by the Bell' series featured a diverse main cast with prominent Hispanic and Black characters, who were integral to the show's original concept. The narrative maintained a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities and did not explicitly center on DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
Judaism is depicted positively through Lisa Turtle's character and the respectful exploration of Hanukkah traditions, promoting understanding and inclusivity among the diverse group of friends.
The original 'Saved by the Bell' series did not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative remained entirely heteronormative, resulting in no explicit portrayal of queer identities or experiences throughout its run.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1989-1992 series of "Saved by the Bell" is an original show, not an adaptation or reboot of pre-existing characters. All main characters were introduced with their depicted genders within this continuity, thus no gender swaps occurred.
The 1989-1992 series "Saved by the Bell" did not feature characters whose race was changed from a prior established canon or historical record. Characters carried over from its predecessor, "Good Morning, Miss Bliss," retained their original actors and races, while new main characters were original to this iteration.
