I'm not sure if every TV fan would want this to happen, but Late Night host Jimmy Fallon wants to reunite the cast of the Saturday morning program Saved By The Bell.The show will have its 20th anniversary this year (it actually started under a different title, Good Morning, Miss Bliss, which starred Hayley Mills - just that bit of info I have off of the top of my head means I know more about this show than I want to), and Fallon has started a petition to get the cast back together.
One cast member is already involved: Dennis Haskins, who played Principal Belding in all of the show's incarnations. He showed up on Fallon's show to give support for the effort (you can sign the petition at the link above).
So, should the cast get together on Fallon's show, or is it something they want to put behind them? I can imagine Mark-Paul Gosselaar wanting to put the show behind him, though I bet the other cast members wouldn't mind. It would be a better idea than many of the other things that Dustin Diamond has done during the past few years.

I don't think they actually had all of them. But they did have Mark-Paul, Mario, Lark and Dustin. Seems like getting Tiffani and Elizabeth shouldn't be that hard.

Just more proof that Jimmy Fallon is much better at this Late Night gig than any could have imagined.
Not to mention this marks the 2nd time in his first month that Haskins has made a Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon appearance. He's the show's Abe Vigoda.

That's not even the original cast, that would be much easier to get as none of them have worked in over 20 years almost. Is it ironic that screech and lisa are the two that have had no further success after the show? Even belding has some funny stuff every now and again, check out It's always sunny in Philadelphia.
