The plot of the series opener features Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s character, Zack Morris, now the governor of California, who finds himself in hot water when he decides to close down some low-income high schools and send the students to higher-performing schools, including Bayside. And the tone of the show, while updated for modern tastes, is likely to still contain the wholesomness its fans loved. Mario Lopez, whose character, A.C. Slater, is now Bayside’s gym teacher, told People “the show is a little edgier” but “not naughty.” So what are fans thinking as the premiere approaches?

There are, however, plenty of fans who are simply excited to see what the cast and creators have come up with. One fan tweeted, “You had me at mom Kelly Kapowski,” while another exclaimed, “Kelly Kapowski is back. 2020 might end up alright,” and a third said, “It’s from the writers of 30 Rock. So it probably is actually funny. That is probably the only reason they all agreed to come back.”
