Shows that feel likeSaved by the Bell (1989–1993)

Lovable schemer Zack Morris leads his pals on adventures at California's Bayside High School. The friends navigate relationships, final exams, school dances, breakups and more while frequently frustrating their principal, Mr. Richard Belding, who does his best to keep them in check.

If you loved Saved by the Bell, the closest series we have are The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990), Full House (1987) and The Nanny (1993). All three share Saved by the Bell's warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Bewitched (1964).

For Eric, Kelso, Jackie, Hyde, Donna and Fez, a group of high school teens who spend most of their time hanging out in Eric’s basement, life in the ‘70s isn’t always so groovy. But between trying to figure out the meaning of life, avoiding their parents, and dealing with out-of-control hormones, they’ve learned one thing for sure: they’ll always get by with a little help from their friends.
