In the Saved by the Bell revival series, when California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the highest performing schools in the state – including Bayside High.

Directed and executive produced by Psych creator Steve Frank, Psych 2: Lassie Comes Home will continue to follow James Roday and Dulé Hill’s crime-solving duo Shawn Spencer and Burton “Gus” Guster as they travel back to hometown Santa Barbara to help find the criminal who shot and almost killed Carlton “Lassie” Lassiter (Timothy Omundson, Supernatural).
