* MemeticMutation: In 2023, behind-the-scenes footage of a male extra in a green varsity jacket became popular on {{Website/TikTok}} and other social media platforms owing to said extra’s rather… hammy acting. Spotted filming a crowd scene, the extra clearly enjoyed his time in the limelight a bit ''too'' much, with social media users commenting that his wide grin and corny thumbs-up gesture made the whole thing look like a 90s Mentos commercial.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The early news that Creator/LarkVoorhies wasn't returning as Lisa sat wrongly with some fans, so they were eventually heartened to know that she'd been brought back for brief appearance in one episode, with the potential for more to follow. She appeared in several season two episodes and also became a producer.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In the last episode of the second season, Daisy is panicking because she feels that if the school loses the spirit games, it will mean that she wasted the whole year working towards it. Principal Toddman, who has so far been well meaning but ineffectual, calms her down and explains that nothing is ever a waste, because it all teaches you something, so even if the school loses they will all be better for it anyway. It's exactly the right thing to say to Daisy and she's visibly grateful and calmed by it.



* LGBTFanbase: The inclusion of Lexi, a multifaceted transgender character, endeared the show to many LGBTQ fans, especially considering the original's lack of any visible queer or trans representation. There's also the HoYay between Mac and Jamie, who are both played by fairly attractive young actors. Aisha also comes out as bisexual in the second season and gets a girlfriend.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Zack calling a time out and speaking to the viewer in the Season 2 finale is very obviously Creator/MarkPaulGosselaar standing in front of a green screen, and looks noticeably worse than any other time the series used the gag.

I haven't seen one person arguing that this is better than the original series. At most, I see it in second place.


* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel:
** Even some of the original series' biggest fans admit the show wasn't exactly top quality in any regard, so many were surprised when they found this one to be a quality series in its own right.
** It's definitely this to ''The New Class,'' which is regarded by most as by far the worst show in the franchise.

Not a YMMV trope.


* HotterAndSexier: Definitely averted with Zack, who has aged pretty badly. On the other hand, Slater is still in good shape, though to say he is sexier than when he was younger would be going too far.

* HeartwarmingMoments:
** Zack and Kelly are still very much in love, over twenty years after getting married.
** When the viewers get to see part of Lexi’s reality television series, it’s a confessional in which she admits to her apprehension over returning to Bayside after coming out as trans; this is is the contrasted with footage of Jamie and Mac’s reactions upon seeing Lexi, making it perfectly clear they accept her for who she is.
