132 free Saved by the Bell trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
51 free Saved by the Bell trivia questions with answers, covering the whole Bayside story from Good Morning, Miss Bliss to the 2020 Peacock revival. The questions dig into the characters (Slater's real first name, Screech's robot, Kelly's enormous family, the substitute teacher who happened to be Mr. Belding's brother), the famous episodes (the caffeine pills, the elevator birth, the Malibu Sands summer), the two TV movies, The College Years and The New Class, and what the cast did afterwards, from Beverly Hills, 90210 to Showgirls and NYPD Blue. About a third of the questions are easy enough for anyone who watched Saturday-morning reruns; the rest climb to production trivia that only a devoted fan will know, like who suggested the show's title and why Elizabeth Berkley lost her first audition. It works as a solo nostalgia test or a ready-made 90s TV round for a pub quiz. Every answer has been checked against a reference page and shows its citation once you have answered, so arguments about Bayside can be settled on the spot.
