re: Saved by the Bell restaurant opened in Chicago today
wow, from the article,
"Can I get a seat? Dinner tickets are sold out through August, with limited walk-ins for dinner accepted. Late night service and weekend brunch will be walk-ins only, so yes, if you are willing to brace a possible line, there is room." |

I'm moving back to Chicago in September. Hoping this gets extended and remains open until the end of the year. If they have the business, I can't see why they wouldn't.

They don't have an item called "Screech's Dirty Sancho?"
That's a missed opportunity. |
re: Saved by the Bell restaurant opened in Chicago today
By the looks of it, they did a pretty good job with the likeness. This would be a cool place to check out at some point.

Not to nitpick (ok, I'm nitpicking), but this show was actually more for Generation X. I imagine most of its audience was between 14-18, which during this show's run means they were born mid 70's
Anyway, it looks pretty cool. I'd check it out if I could. |

What you can't see in this pic above is what's cut off at the right... the bar. :) http://media1.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscm...line-large.jpg |
re: Saved by the Bell restaurant opened in Chicago today
I was born in 1977, which places me in Gen X, and the show is extremely popular with people my age. It was extremely common the find the re-runs on TBS being watched in a college dorm room while I was in college in the mid to late nineties.

Early Gen-X. I was born in '68 and I wouldn't have a thing to do with the show.

I'd say 10-13 year olds were the prime demo. As for which generation lays claim to the show, remember that this has been in syndication for decades at this point. Even if it debuted in the late 80's, millenials growing up in the 90's probably had a minimum of 10 airings a day via syndication to choose from.
Nah, I remember my teenage cousin (she was probably 15-17) being obsessed with this show back when it aired. And as Obi Wan Jabroni points out above, he said it was fairly common to see teens and even college age kids watching this show. |
re: Saved by the Bell restaurant opened in Chicago today
I was a huge SBTB fan as a kid, so was pretty much everyone I know. I was born in 85, I don't know if that puts me in the 'millennial' category or the middle period of 'generation Y'.

10 year olds? :lol: don't be ridiculous. It's a show set in high school, why would 10 year olds have been interested in this? 10 year olds watch stuff like Spongebob.
Show aired when I was in high school and 16- to 18-year olds were NOT waking up at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning to watch Slater and Zack's high jinx at Bayside High. Was definitely aiming for the pre-teen, middle school demo. (The show's first season was even set in a junior.)

Re: Saved by the Bell restaurant opened in Chicago today
On Nickelodeon you'd also have shows with older kids, such as Clarissa, Hey Dude, All That, Are You Afraid of the Dark, which 10 year olds (or younger) would watch, in addition to the Nicktoons. It's not one or the other, you could like both, one or none. But to say that no 10 year olds would be watching is itself ridiculous.

Re: Saved by the Bell restaurant opened in Chicago today
I was born in 82 and watched new episodes of the show regularly.
Although it's funny to be considered a millennial like some people do, since that was never the case growing up. It was always Gen X for me. |

Here's the most relevant quote from creator Peter Engel, but there's other info in there about the "teen tv" phenomenon of the early 90's. “Saved by the Bell owns the 9-14 demographic,” Engel told me. “Teenagers all over the world love us.” |
Re: Saved by the Bell restaurant opened in Chicago today
I was born in '81. This was definitely popular with kids my age. Looking at it today, it seems like that was the audience they were targeting.

I think any male, of any age, was willing to watch kelly kapowski in a cheerleading outfit

The college kids Obi Wan mentions are kids who were in the younger demo when the show debuted. Later in life they watched re-runs because a.)they were everywhere, and b.)it was nostalgic comfort food.
