Peacock Television and the Saved by the Bell Reboot
Peacock Television will debut a cheeky reboot-meets-remake of Saved by the Bell this Tuesday, fulfilling one of New Jersey native Rebecca Bloomwood’s wishes: she started out working as a green assistant on 30 Rock, co-writing its series finale with Tina Fey and then receiving an Emmy nomination.
The Mindy Project and Tracey Wigfield’s Contribution
Tracey Wigfield made waves during her run on 30 Rock, winning an Emmy alongside Tina Fey for its series finale episode. She then found a home in The Mindy Project on Hulu, quickly becoming a cult classic thanks to its fantastic cast and Wigfield’s writing.
30 Rock’s Legacy and Availability
30 Rock’s fourth and fifth seasons and farewell episodes are now available on Blu-ray. The series brought an irreverent take to network television, winning four consecutive Emmy awards and drawing comparisons to shows like Frasier and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Great News: A Smart and Funny Workplace Comedy
Great News initially divided audiences due to similarities with 30 Rock and The Office, but it stands out with its large ensemble cast and intelligent writing. The show explores power structures within the industry while offering an appealing young actress and great comic timing.
The Innovative Reboot of Saved by the Bell
With this reboot, Tracy Wigfield has created an innovative and fresh take on Saved by the Bell. The series parodies its predecessor without becoming a parody itself, and the cast delivers impressive performances.
