I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so ... scared!
That's right: Time to take a time out, because all nine seasons of "Saved By the Bell" are coming to Netflix next month, as the Big Red Streaming Monolith tries to find the next big throwback hit now that "The Office," "Parks and Rec" and "Friends" have gone elsewhere.
On the topic of throwbacks, Netflix's lineup of September acquisitions and new arrivals is showcasing all of the greatest hits of the past – including the Spike Lee masterpiece "Do the Right Thing," the comedy cult classic "House Party," one of the 47 cuts of "Blade Runner," the imaginative puppet perfection that is "Labyrinth," the kooky kitsch of "Mars Attacks" and the all-time horror hit "Jaws" – thankfully just in time to watch after the beaches and pools have safely closed for the season. And, for something truly terrifying, there's also the "Jaws" sequels to endure.
On the Netflix Originals front, there's another round of reality show hits, including "The Circle" as well as the neon-soaked actioner "Kate," starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead. For fans of "The Haunting of Hill House," modern horror master craftsman Mike Flanagan is back with a fresh set of chills with the spooky new series "Midnight Mass" and – as for scaring up Oscars – Netflix's awards push will start rolling with "The Starling," an emotional dramedy starring Melissa McCarthy from the director of "Hidden Figures," and "Worth," which teams up Stanley Tucci and Michael Keaton for a 9/11 legal drama.
And that's just the start of September's fresh supply of movies and TV shows – so here's the full lineup of new arrival next month.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
