If you grew up in the ‘90s, or you like watching old TV shows, chances are that you know the words to the Saved by the Bell theme song by heart. Teens had the chance to watch his popular sitcom from 1989 to 1993 and keep up with the Bayside gang every Saturday morning.
For many teens, Saved by the Bell was the ultimate way to start their weekend off right. Before this sitcom, Saturday mornings were usually reserved for cartoons. However, Saved by the Bell, originally named Good Morning Miss Bliss, paved the way for future teen TV shows such as Dawson’s Creek, Beverly Hills, 90210, and The O.C.. It was the first show for teenagers ever that dealt with topics such as illegal substance abuse, peer pressure, as well as anxiety. But, the show also had its fair share of cheesy ‘90s moments, colorful clothing of the age, and some remarkably funny scenes.
If you ever get nostalgic and want to remind yourself of the past, just watch one episode of Saved by the Bell. The cast portrayed everything we love about the ’90s: the fashion, the lifestyle, the music, the hair, the colors… In addition, the talented young actors rose to fame after becoming the students of Bayside High.
Although the boys of Saved by the Bell are absolutely incredible, the show would have never been the same without the girls. The young ladies portrayed strong, smart, athletic and talented women during a time when beautiful women were admired only for their looks.
Time to see what the lovely girls of Saved by the Bell are up to today >>>

Bridgette Wilson-Sampras (Ginger) Then
Ginger is the incredibly sweet, but slightly ditzy blonde girl, who sometimes tends to be a bit too happy. Her relationship with Zack was quite short due to the fact that the two had nothing to talk about except whether Ginger had lipstick on her teeth or not only thing she ever wanted to talk about with Zack was whether or not she had lipstick on her teeth. Well… at least she is pretty.
