Saved by the Bell: The College Years - A Thanksgiving Story
Description
🦃 This Thanksgiving in July, I’ve put out some extra table settings for some old friends.
Previously, on the Advent Calendar House, we watched Zack Morris be trash but still manage to find a girl and her dad a Home for Christmas. Now, thankfully, we get to see him a tiny bit more grown-up as we get wheeled directly into a wall back to 1993 for a special Turkey Day episode of “Saved by the Bell: The College Years” that’s packed with last-minute surprise celebrity guests.
🎙️ Adam Pope and Chad Young swoop in to save this Turkey Day, plus we left open a 4th chair in memory of our friend, William Bruce West.
📺 You can watch “Saved by the Bell: The College Years” on Tubi. “A Thanksgiving Story” is Episode 11.
