Saved By the Bell, the 1980s/1990s teen sitcom, is getting the reboot treatment over at Peacock – and the new streaming service seems to be taking a page out of the Brady Bunch Movie playbook and making this a self-aware, meta show that explicitly comments on its previous iteration. Check out the newest trailer below, which features a whole bit about Jessie Spano’s famous “I’m so excited!” caffeine pill fiasco. Saved by the Bell Trailer Elizabeth Berkley and Mario Lopez are back as Jessie Spano and A.C. Slater, respectively, and it seems like both of them may have clung to their high school experiences just a little too much in the intervening years. Slater works as the gym teacher at Bayside, chaperoning a dance and ...

Disney’s recently acquired 20th Century Fox TV studio is the latest to have the “Fox” name dropped, with the company announcing today that it’ll be rebranding the studio to just 20th Television, as part of a larger rebrand for all of Disney’s TV studios. Additionally, Fox 21 Television Studios is getting renamed to Touchstone Television (a TV brand that Disney stopped using in 2007), as the company works to remove the last traces of the Fox name from its assets. Disney is also using the rebranding to merge ABC Studios and its subsidiary ABC Signature under the ABC Signature banner. New logos and end cards will appear on TV shows this fall, including on episodes of The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, and Bob’s Burgers. Existing episodes on streaming and digital libraries will...
