Dear Cartoon Network:

When I saw ads in the last couple of weeks announcing that Saved By The Bell was being added to your Adult Swim line-up, I chuckled. There had to be a catch - there could be no way that SBTB reruns would fly in the ultra-hip Adult Swim line-up. Maybe you were going to mess with the dialogue, or....something.

Alas, from last night's inaugural viewing, SBTB was aired with no alterations and it sat there amidst the Adult Swim lineup like the proverbial turd in the punch bowl.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MINDS? Is this supposed to invoke some feeling of warm nostalgia a la Full House reruns on Nick At Nite? It doesn't!....not for me, anyway. I was in my 20's when SBTB began its original run, so I didn't watch this putrid bag of crap. (I didn't watch Full House, either....those of my age group were Brady Bunch people...anyway.....)

Saved By The Bell (1) ...isn't a cartoon, and you are the Cartoon Network (I know, I know; MTV set a very bad precedent....in the old days, the M in MTV actually stood for music.....try finding music on there now...) and (2) IT ISN'T FUNNY!!!

Please remove this offensive blight from your lineup at once, or at least put it somewhere else in your lineup and GET IT THE HELL OFF OF ADULT SWIM!!!

Thank you.

ooo, I agree it does NOT belong on adult swim. I did; however, grow up watching it and occasionally find it amusing to watch at 6am on tbs. Provided it is all the original cast. What is with cartoon network anyway, I saw where they had movie night and showed "Dumb and Dumber"??? While I like this silly movie, it does not belong here. Here I was applauding cn for showing the miyozaki movies and they show dumb and dumber. Just doesn't make sense. Did you know I was trying to dvr cowboy bebop and got "Mr T" cartoon instead?!?! It was funny to watch again, but not a full 30 min worth. Plus my bebop was the 2nd part of a 2 parter which I will never see!!!
