FREQUEST ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DVDS
__________________________________________________________
SEASONS ONE AND TWO
Is there supposed to be an insert or booklet describing the episodes on the DVD?
No. Although there is a little folder inside the DVD packet, it did not come with any kind of episode description booklet.
It seems as though there are episodes missing for season 2. What happened?
The episode order on the DVD is strictly by "air date", which means they are in order as to when they originally aired on NBC. Since SBTB has been on the air since 1989 and also in syndication since then, there are a lot of versions of episode guides. According to Lions Gate, all records they were provided indicate all episodes from Season 1&2 are included.
When will the DVD be released in the UK?
There hasn't been word as to when it will be available anywhere else besides the U.S. and Canada. Once the official word is available, please be assured you will be able to find the information here.

SEASONS THREE AND FOUR
So, many fans have been wondering "How come season 4 isn't complete on the DVD?" Well, here is a possible, if not the best answer for the time being.
According to what NBC provided Lions Gate Entertainment, Seasons 3 and 4 are complete. What you might be wanting is Season 5. SBTB had 5 seasons. The order in which they are putting them on the DVD's is by air date. SBTB has been in syndication since it first began, so there are many different online episode guides to confuse you. The best episode guide to follow, that can give you an idea of how Lions Gate is putting them in order can be seen at this website, epguides.com/SavedbytheBell/ (But ignore the way they have divided the seasons) I am sure they will be releasing the final season 5 on DVD next. (Which is senior year with "Tori" episodes and the final "Jessie/Kelly" episodes with the graduation, etc.)
Well how come "Video Yearbook" and "Snow White and the Seven Dorks" are missing, as well? Aren't they considered Season 3 and 4?
Again, this goes back to the fact that Lions Gate is putting them in air date order. These 2 episodes didn't air until Season 5, along with the "Tori" episodes, according to the air date episode guide I provided you above.
Why do parts of my DVD seems to lag, or be of poor quality. Is it just my disk?
No, it's everyone's disks. The best explanation I could give you...poor transfer quality.
Why is Mr.Belding's (Dennis Haskins) face copied and pasted in place of the late Brandon Tartikoff's face inside the DVD case?
This most probably happened because there supposedly isn't a descent picture of Dennis Haskins taken during Seasons 3 and 4.
Why does it look like Jessie (Elizabeth Berkley) is seducing Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) on the DVD cover?
The original picture is the one to the right. As you can see, Dennis Haskins was digitally added to the picture, the chalkboard was removed, and Zack was moved to the top of the table. Again, there could have been a lack of pictures of Dennis Haskins during Seasons 3 and 4.
Is the first episode on Disk 1 titled "The Fabulous Belding Boys" or "The Famous Belding Boys"?
It's really titled "The Fabulous Belding Boys". Just another Lions Gate mistake. On the cover it's "The Fabulous Belding Boys" and on the episode selection screen, it reads "The Famous Belding Boys".
How come on the DVD case, "The Last Weekend" is described to have commentary by Peter Engel and Dustin Diamond, but on the screen selection and in the episode, it's only by Peter Engel?
A careless mistake on Lions Gate part.
How come in episodes like "The Aftermath", "Wicked Stepbrother 1 and 2", "Boss Lady" and "Mystery Weekend", there are short scenes left out?
Yes. There are several scenes missing. For some reason, these episodes on the DVD are like those syndicated ones we see on networks like TBS today. They are cut for more commercial time. I don't have an exact reason why they didn't include these (plus more) episodes in full.
