America is Still Obsessed With Saved By The Bell

Reservations for the "Saved by the Max" pop-up diner opening in Wicker Park this summer are sold out.

The demand was so high that the “Saved by the Max” run that was planned for just the month of June was extended through August 31.

But even by adding two months, if you haven’t got your ticket yet, you likely aren’t going.

Walk-ins will be welcomed on a first-come first-serve basis.

The high demand is not a surprise, as “Saved By The Bell” was popular throughout the country during its 1990’s run, with fans even following the Bayside 6 through the “College Years.” To this day, character names like Zach Morris, Screech, Mr. Belding and others are still household names.
