"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what is going on here?"Saved by the Bell is a sitcom that aired on NBC from August 1989 to May 1993. Heavily inspired by the films of John Hughes, the show centered around the spokespersons from each of the archetypal cliques: The Beefcake, The Cheerleader, The Fashionista, The Revolutionary, The Stereotypical Nerd—and most importantly, The Hustler, as embodied by the fourth-wall breaking, time-freezing Zack Morris. In spite of its achingly outdated (even for the time) '80s fashions and lingo, it remains the archetype of the TV High School, to the point where it is widely theorized that the entire Saved by the Bell universe is contained within Bayside High, and that Zack is, in fact, God.The show began life as a Hayley Mills vehicle titled Good Morning, Miss Bliss (1988-1989), which centered around a junior high school teacher named Miss Bliss as she dealt with her quirky students, among them Zack Morris. Though an NBC pilot, the network rejected it and the Disney Channel picked it up instead. It was not a success, but the series found its way back to NBC and was given a drastic retool: focus was shifted to the student body, and only Zack, Samuel "Screech" Powers, Lisa Turtle, and Mr. Belding made the transition. The name of the school also changed from John F. Kennedy Junior High to Bayside High, but this is possibly less of a mystery than the school's unexplained move from Indiana to California. The new show, now titled Saved by the Bell, was led by Zack and it is this version that is the one most viewers are familiar with.Powered by the Law of Disproportionate Response: characters won't even bat an eyelash at the absurdities of their lives (such as the fact that Screech designed and built a self-aware robot), but will explode over something trivial. Though they began and ended as friends, the Bayside Six had a rigidly-enforced pecking order in which Zack lurked somewhere near the bottom, with only the Renfield-like Screech (imprisoned in a locker at least Once per Episode) to boss around. Most episodes revolved around a Zany Scheme hatched by Zack (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) with 1 of 3 objectives: Cheating/bribing his way up the social ladder, only to get knocked down again. Concocting a get-rich-quick scam to enslave Bayside to his whims. Woo any girl he has his sights on, especially his on-again off-again girlfriend Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani Thiessen).Without fail, Screech (Dustin Diamond) would spoil the plan while attempting to help.His nemesis A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez) also had his eye on Kelly, leading to a tug-of-war between them as "Preppy" tried and failed to discover Slater's nonexistent weakness and break his seduction spell on the school. Slater would repeatedly win Kelly with little to no effort, but would later hook up with the armchair activist Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) once Zac and Kelly officially became an item. Lisa (Lark Voorhies) rounded out the cast as the Token Minority and debutante who acquired an unwanted admirer in poor Screech. Dennis Haskins, as Principal Richard Belding, ended up playing his role longer than anyone else associated with the franchise: he and Vice Principal Screech would form a double-act in The New Class.The show is quite camp, with a high level of rewatchability, though not without its finger-wagging moralizing (which one could argue is part of the joke). The most infamous "message" episode involved Elizabeth Berkley having a conniption as a result of a caffeine addiction. Her ensuing rant has become legendary among fans and non-fans alike, and belongs in a gallery of television's greatest narm moments.The series ran under four titles: Good Morning, Miss Bliss (a.k.a. Saved by the Bell: The Junior High Years; 13 episodes, 1988-89) Saved by the Bell (87 episodes, 1989-93) Saved by the Bell: The College Years (19 episodes, 1993-94) Saved by the Bell: The New Class (143 episodes, 1993-2000)After graduating from Bayside, Zack, Slater, Screech and Kelly ended up at California University for the more adult-oriented sitcom Saved by the Bell: The College Years. Unfortunately, it failed to attract an audience and ended after one season, though it did lead to a television movie that finally saw High-School Sweethearts Zack and Kelly get married. Ultimately, the producers' attempt to cater to both younger fans of the original series and older primetime viewers proved unsuccessful as both demographics felt alienated by the series: The show was too hokey for older viewers and younger fans were turned off by the show's focus on relationship drama instead of wacky schemes.At one point, Cartoon Network aired Saved by the Bell on their [adult swim] block (despite the show's rating of TV-G) as a April Fools' Day prank. The series soon became a worldwide phenomenon as Universal, the current owners of the trademark, started doing a massive product brand revival of their #1 TV show in 2015.In September 2019, it was announced that a Saved by the Bell revival would be produced for NBC's then-upcoming streaming platform Peacock. The revival returned to the halls of Bayside High, facing an influx of new students from lower-income schools after Zack, now the governor of California, scandalously closes too many schools, forcing them to merge into Bayside. Lopez and Berkeley reprised their roles as Slater and Jessie, while Gosselaar, Thiessen, and (in the second season) Vorhees returned in a recurring capacities. (Diamond passed away between the first and second seasons, and a second season episode includes an In Memoriam montage for him.) As for new characters, Josie Totah was cast as mean girl cheerleader Lexi, Haskiri Velazquez as the intelligent Daisy, Alycia Pascual-Pena as tomboy Aisha, Belmont Cameli as Jessie's athletic son Jamie, and Mitchell Hoog as Zack's privileged son Mac, while John Michael Higgins played the principal. Tracey Wigfield (30 Rock, Great News) served as showrunner and executive producer, alongside Lopez, Berkeley, Gosselaar, returning producer Franco Bario, and original series executive producer Peter Engel. After two seasons, the revival was cancelled on May 4, 2022.For the trope described by the "saved by the bell" phrase, see Just in Time or one of its variants.

The Artifact: Leslie in The College Years. She's set up in the first episode for a Will They or Won't They? storyline with Zack. Then in the second episode, Kelly rejoins the gang. A few episodes play with Zack pursuing both of them, but the writers soon settle on him focusing on getting back together with Kelly. Afterwards, Leslie is still around, but she ends up with very little to do for the rest of the season.

Nerds Are Sexy
 Saved by the Bell / int_14a5a8e2
comment
Much to everybody's utter shock and awe, Screech becomes this to Kelly while coaching her for a science exam during their freshman year. Kelly begins to respect Screech for his scientific genius. Then, she actually starts to find it attractive (thus Kelly became seemingly the only person at Bayside to believe in the Nerds Are Sexy). Everyone else is completely shocked to hear about this and treat it as if it's the most shocking news of the century, reacting with a mixture of awe, disgust, and amazement, with people at Bayside openly wondering What Does She See in Him? Screech and Kelly getting together is apparently such a big deal that the news spreads like wildfire around the world, and George H. W. Bush, Barbara Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Margaret Thatcher are actually seen gossiping about it! President Bush himself sums it up by giving an OK sign and declaring "Way to go, Screech!" while First Lady Barbara nods in agreement. Even the crew of the MIR space station get in on the action.

Give Geeks a Chance: Screech had several one-episode love interests, often played by extremely beautiful actresses (Hillary Danner, Emma Caulfield, Christina Moore, and Marnette Patterson). In the "country club" story arc, he had a recurring girlfriend named Alison, played by the lovely Clare Salstrom. Even his "nerdy" girlfriend, Violet, was played by Tori Spelling, although she wore thick glasses and a dorky hairstyle and clothes for the role.

Hypocrite Has a Point: Kelly gets pissed off when Zach brings a date to The Max. It seems pretty hypocritical, considering that she just dumped him for another guy, but (a) She never deliberately threw it in his face, and (b) Even though their relationship is over, she never acted like it meant nothing to begin with.

comment
No Sympathy: Kelly dismisses every single complaint that Jessie or anyone else in the gang has about Eric in "The Wicked Stepbrother" two-parter over what a post he is or how he's disrupting their lives. While on one hand, it was rude for her to immediately side with a stranger over her friends (to the point of her eventually being written out of the second part), on the other hand some of her reaction to their gripes with him (particularly Jessie) is because as someone with so many siblings, she knows how to share better than her friends and probably has more tolerance for annoying siblings/people (which explains why she's so forgiving of Zack's nonsense).

The Prom Plot: In "The Prom", the gang goes to their junior prom. Among the occurrences are Screech (once again) trying to convince Lisa to go with him, Slater and Jessie arguing over the type of music for the prom and Kelly's father being laid off and she not being able to afford the prom, only for Zack to have them go to their own intimate prom. "The Senior Prom" has them combining their poorly-selling prom with their wildly popular performance of Oklahoma!. Amongst the antics are Zack manipulating Kelly's date into dumping her so he can take her and Slater and Jessie getting trapped in the boiler room.

Anti-Alcohol Aesop: One episode in particular shows Zack and his friends drinking at a party. The only one who doesn't take part in it is Screech, and that's probably because he's the innocent nerd. He offers to drive his friends home, but Zack being Zack thinks he can pull it off himself. This causes him to damage the car. Despite his desperate lying, his father eventually unravels the truth and punishes him accordingly.

Cock Fight: Plenty of times and usually involving Zack: The staple of the first season had him and Slater fighting over Kelly. By the beginning of season two, she ultimately chose Zack, but you knew this already. A season four episode had a one-sided scenario. Zack and Lisa fall for each other, but a jealous Screech tries to sabotage a fashion show she held and fight him over her, which ends in him refusing to do so and Screech accepting their mutual attraction. Yet another season four episode has Zack and Slater fighting again over a girl, only this time it's a new student named Joanna which culminates into an actual fistfight. In the end, she refuses to date either of them since she was disgusted by both their immaturity and for ruining her experience at the school.

Token Minority Couple: With the exception of the one-off episodes where Lisa hooks up with Zack (both of which were never mentioned again), the black leads in the original series would never get paired up with any of the white leads.

Lampshade Hanging
 Saved by the Bell / int_2a090d00
comment
Mr. Belding. For example, in Hawaiian Style, when he briefly impersonates a professor, his performance can only be described as this. This is lampshaded by Kelly when Belding starts bellowing a loud proclamation in native Hawaiian while banging a spear into the ground and the camera zooms in on the look of silent incredulity on Kelly's face. This is further lampshaded by Zack when Belding afterward asks "How was I?" and Zack replies that he was "a little hammy here and there."

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: The group (later on Kelly excepted) all come from families that are upper class. They don't have jobs, have cars, and seem to be less than prepared for the real world.

Clueless Aesop
 Saved by the Bell / int_2d8da79
comment
Clueless Aesop: In "Jessie's Song", Jessie becomes addicted to simple over-the-counter caffeine pills. This is fairly realistic, as caffeine is indeed addictive. However, while the withdrawal is minor and usually limited to headaches and irritability, the show treats her reaction as if she were taking cocaine, and she is shown developing a dire, uncontrollable, terrifying craving for what is essentially just Starbucks in pill form. It's clear that the writers wanted to include a drug episode, but didn't want any of the characters using actual illegal substances, and the overall message kind of falls flat given the substance in question.

Angry Item Tapping: In "Screech's Spaghetti Sauce", in a commercial for the eponymous sauce, Zack (playing Jessie's husband) begins to insult her bad spaghetti sauce to her brother Screech and starts to refer to him as "your sister", until she starts to tap a rolling pin in her hand in anger and he then calls her "my beautiful wife" as a save.

Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Melissa, the girl in the wheelchair in "Teen Line", really hates being treated differently. Zack really doesn't seem to get this, and keeps embarrassing her by saying things like "Could you slouch down? My date's in a wheelchair and she can't see the screen," and "Melissa you were amazing in that game! See, even though she's in a wheelchair she did great!" and other cringeworthy comments. One honestly can't blame her when she dumps Zack.

Actor Allusion: The first episode of Good Morning, Miss Bliss has a character ask if she's speaking with Miss Bliss, or her evil twin. This is a reference to Hayley Mills' appearance in The Parent Trap. In the reboot, Jessie makes a lot of references to Elizabeth Berkley's other (in)famous role such when asked where she is from.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In "Palm Springs Weekend: Part 1" Zack tries to impress an aerobics instructor by joining her class.

When Zack and Slater compete over new girl Joanna, to the point of outright fighting, she ends up wanting nothing to do with either of them, thoroughly disgusted by their behavior.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Saved by the Bell / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: While the show never became particularly realistic, the early episodes were much more likely to feature outright fantastical elements like Kevin, a sentient robot built by Screech, psychic powers, Screech in alien makeup being mistaken for a real alien by the U.S. government, or subliminal messages on cassette tapes (which don't *quite* work that way in Real Life). Aspects like the show's famous pink bordered day dream sequences or Zack's use of his "Time Out" ability were also noticeably more common early on. The whole show originally ran under a different title, Good Morning, Miss Bliss. After one season, it was retooled into Saved by the Bell. Episodes of Miss Bliss have aired in syndication under the Saved by the Bell name. Miss Bliss had several notable differences from Saved by the Bell, including, but not limited to: It had its own theme song, which is drastically different from the well-known Saved by the Bell theme song. The titular Miss Bliss was the main protagonist, instead of Zack. Slater, Kelly and Jessie are nowhere to be seen. Instead, it has Mikey Gonzales and Nikki Coleman. The school is not a high school, but rather, a middle school, and is set in Indiana, instead of California. Then it gets even weirder in the Miss Bliss pilot, which only aired once. There is no Zack Morris or Screech Powers. This makes it the only episode in the Saved by the Bell franchise, until The New Class, to not feature Zack or Screech. Screech would later join The New Class cast in Season 2 of that show, while Zack made a one-time guest appearance in the show. The principal in the pilot is named Gerald, not Richard, Belding and is portrayed by a different actor. The Miss Bliss pilot had Brian Austin Green as Adam Montcrief in the Zack Morris role (complete with a full-on suit and tie), Jaleel White as Bobby Wilson and Jonathan Brandis as Michael Thompson. These three would find much bigger TV success soon afterwards. Miss Bliss is also newly engaged in the pilot, while on the full series, she is single.

Slumber Party Ploy: One episode has Zack, Slater and Screech having a slumber party over at the former's house in order to sneak out to an over-18 club called "The Attic". Zack's mother eventually finds out what was happening and punished all three of them. The "All in the Mall" episode has the gang (sans Jessie) camping out at the mall to buy U2 tickets. While Zack concocts a plan for them to call each other's parents and say they're sleeping over at the other one's house, they would all share a tent in a sporting goods store. Unlike the other time, they weren't caught, but still had to deal with plenty of other hijinks.

Plot Hole: The "Tori Paradox", the unexplained disappearance of Jessie and Kelly and the introduction of the new character of Tori Scott, and then her disappearance and Jessie and Kelly's reappearance in time for the graduation episode that is never given any explanation in the course of the show. There never is any real explanation for what happened to all the characters who disappeared in the show's transformation from Miss Bliss to Saved by the Bell.

Both the Zack/Jessie and Zack/Lisa pairings each got one episode devoted to teasing the pairing. The former promptly sank it because they realized they had no romantic chemistry. The latter went all the way and, ironically enough, was never mentioned again. Zack and Lisa were also teased in the Zack-in-hospital episode, the Murder Mystery episode, and several other subtle moments. Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Lark Voorhies actually were dating for much of the series, so that certainly explains the undeniable chemistry between Zack and Lisa.

Gladiator Games: Spoofed in "Zack's War". Mr. Belding dresses as an American gladiator to joust in a battle with Kelly and Zack. Although he was determined to beat both of them, this is ignoring the fact that a) they are fit teenagers and b) he is a middle-aged and none-too-athletic man and they easily win their respective battles.

The Unfair Sex
 Saved by the Bell / int_6ae4dedd
comment
The Unfair Sex: A criticism of Zack and Kelly's relationship, as there were two occasionally-reused plots throughout the high school and college years: (a) "Zack pays too much attention to another girl and Kelly gets mad," and (b) "Kelly sees another guy and drops Zack like a hot potato." In cases of A, Zack having to figure out how to make it up to Kelly (or realizing he needed to) would be the focus of the plot. However, in cases of B, Zack would still be made the villain, for standing in the way of Kelly's happiness for his own selfish needs. Apparently, Negative Continuity is in play and you're not supposed to notice this pattern, but it's hard not to. The Grand Finale of the original students' saga is Zack and Kelly's wedding. What led Zack to pop the question? He was afraid that Kelly would meet another guy on an upcoming trip that Zack wasn't going on.

Jerkass Has a Point: Screech's heart is crushed when he spies Zack and Lisa kiss in "The Bayside Triangle". He may have been more of a jerkass in this episode than any other, but he certainly has a point when he calls out Zack. Screech is Zack's best friend and has been for over a decade by this point. He knows how Screech feels about Lisa and still kisses her anyway, without even talking to him about it.

The Unseen: A really bizarre and glaring example. In some episodes, Mr. Belding is informed of an incoming visitor to his office by a secretary over the PA system. But how? The door from the hallway leads directly into Mr. Belding's office, with no secretary room in between, so unless the guests to Mr. Belding's office first enter a pocket dimension where a secretary works before re-emerging in Belding's office, this seems impossible.

Real Life Writes the Plot: Zack and Slater were going to be bitter rivals for Kelly's affections, as seen in initial episodes. However, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Mario Lopez were good friends on set, and their natural chemistry led to the writers turning the two of them into best friends. Slater's eventual romance with Jessie likely stemmed from this. The infamous Tori episodes in Season 4. The network ordered an additional set of episodes after they had wrapped, but Elizabeth Berkley and Tiffani Thiessen had other commitments. Thus Leanna Creel was cast as a replacement character called Tori.

Opening Narration: Every episode of Good Morning, Miss Bliss opened the first act with a brief voice-over by Miss Bliss. When they were re-packaged as episodes of Saved by the Bell, these would be preceded by a Cold Open monologue from Zack, which usually covered a lot of the same ground; however, since he would always discuss the events from his perspective and Miss Bliss would talk about them from hers, it created an interesting "he said/she said" dynamic.

Large Ham: Mr. Belding. For example, in Hawaiian Style, when he briefly impersonates a professor, his performance can only be described as this. This is lampshaded by Kelly when Belding starts bellowing a loud proclamation in native Hawaiian while banging a spear into the ground and the camera zooms in on the look of silent incredulity on Kelly's face. This is further lampshaded by Zack when Belding afterward asks "How was I?" and Zack replies that he was "a little hammy here and there." James, but he's an actor, so it's understandable.

Didn't Think This Through: In "Drinking and Driving", after the gang decided to drive home drunk, the (totally sober) Screech volunteers to drive them home, only for Lisa to shoot him down, saying, "You can't even walk straight!" And obviously having no concerns that the "incompetent" Screech tried to do the smart and decent thing, they all (including Screech) give into peer pressure, let a drunk Zack take them home and subsequently crash.

Ecocidal Antagonist: In the "Pipe Dreams" episode, oil is discovered on school property. When a representative from the oil company makes a presentation to the PTA showing the nice new campus Bayside will have if they allow the company to drill, Zack places multiple oil derricks in the campus model and announces to the committee that an oil spill already occurred and killed all of the animals his science class released into the wild. The man from the company brushes it aside, noting that "accidents happen". Zack then "accidentally" spills oil on his suit.

Not So Above It All: Jessie when the cheerleaders suggest Screech spying on Valley's squad. Kelly gets annoyed with Zack when - after he's got her a ring - he yells at any boy that talks to her saying "see the ring". After she lectures him about this, a cute girl comes up to Zack. Kelly now tells her "see the ring?" In the mall episode, when Screech asks "which half" concerning a half-off sale, Kelly (of all people) loses her cool with Screech and insults him.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Kelly in the "A Home for Christmas" two-parter. She first blabs to their boss. Mr. Mooney, that coworker Laura is homeless even though she had no right to express such a private struggle in a public workplace, especially since he's shown to be such a grouch. Then she secretly puts away a sportscoat for Laura's father, but Mooney, already suspicious of his homeless employee, accuses her of stealing it. It may have been a comedy of errors that ended up working out in the end, but her decisions made things much more difficult for Laura and her Dad.

The Good Morning, Miss Bliss episodes were originally just Canon Discontinuity after the retool. Only four characters made the transition and all sorts of details were changed. However, when the series exploded in popularity, the Good Morning, Miss Bliss episodes started airing to help pad the syndication package and were retroactively dubbed The Junior High Years. The snarl comes in as with these reruns, new intros with Zack reminiscing about junior high were filmed.

Karma Houdini: A plot point in "The Lisa Card". Lisa charges over $300 on her father's credit card and spends the episode terrified of how he'll react. He actually takes it fine and doesn't punish her. However, after two days of living in fear, Lisa actually begged him to punish her. She ends up having to take a waitress job to pay the money back (and that's after all her clothes have been sold as well). Zack gets away with a lot of sociopathic behavior. Belding gives him detention for attempting to sell the school to the Japanese. Kelly has her fair share. On the occasions where she is to blame for her and Zack's ruined relationships, it's played straight that what she did was wrong. However, when they get back together, it's all whitewashed.

Obfuscating Stupidity: We discover during senior year that Zack has been playing this from the beginning (although it had been hinted at throughout the series) when it comes to academics. Despite his self-constructed image as a slacker, he scores extremely high on the SAT and gets into Yale. The represenatative from one college, the fictional Stansbury University, actually kept showering Zack with attention and courted him to attend their school, much to Jessie's frustration, as the lady kept ignoring her.

While the show never became particularly realistic, the early episodes were much more likely to feature outright fantastical elements like Kevin, a sentient robot built by Screech, psychic powers, Screech in alien makeup being mistaken for a real alien by the U.S. government, or subliminal messages on cassette tapes (which don't *quite* work that way in Real Life). Aspects like the show's famous pink bordered day dream sequences or Zack's use of his "Time Out" ability were also noticeably more common early on.

Foul Cafeteria Food: In one of the weirdest examples of this trope, the students prefer to eat food at their Local Hangout, The Max, instead of their cafeteria, which Jessie even quipping "It's nice being able to eat a burger you don't have to comb".

Retool
 Saved by the Bell / int_b2283870
comment
The whole show originally ran under a different title, Good Morning, Miss Bliss. After one season, it was retooled into Saved by the Bell. Episodes of Miss Bliss have aired in syndication under the Saved by the Bell name. Miss Bliss had several notable differences from Saved by the Bell, including, but not limited to: It had its own theme song, which is drastically different from the well-known Saved by the Bell theme song. The titular Miss Bliss was the main protagonist, instead of Zack. Slater, Kelly and Jessie are nowhere to be seen. Instead, it has Mikey Gonzales and Nikki Coleman. The school is not a high school, but rather, a middle school, and is set in Indiana, instead of California. Then it gets even weirder in the Miss Bliss pilot, which only aired once. There is no Zack Morris or Screech Powers. This makes it the only episode in the Saved by the Bell franchise, until The New Class, to not feature Zack or Screech. Screech would later join The New Class cast in Season 2 of that show, while Zack made a one-time guest appearance in the show. The principal in the pilot is named Gerald, not Richard, Belding and is portrayed by a different actor. The Miss Bliss pilot had Brian Austin Green as Adam Montcrief in the Zack Morris role (complete with a full-on suit and tie), Jaleel White as Bobby Wilson and Jonathan Brandis as Michael Thompson. These three would find much bigger TV success soon afterwards. Miss Bliss is also newly engaged in the pilot, while on the full series, she is single.

Everyone Has Standards: As much of a male chauvinist as Slater is himself, even for him Zack's sleaziness and girl-chasing are excessive, and there are even times when he works with the female characters to teach Zack a lesson, such as in the episode about subliminal advertising. His disgust with Zack's womanising ways is also the main reason why he disapproves of his sister J.B. dating the latter in the episode "Slater's Sister". The principal at Valley was enjoying and even actively encouraging the Bayside-Valley prank war, but even he agrees it went too far when Screech got kidnapped and punished the Cleig cousin for not returning him.

TV Teen: Zack's awkward, uncertain, and initially resistant reaction when he's offered a beer. Mind you, this is Zack, the Lovable Rogue who loves to party and loves to flout the adults' rules for fun; the idea that he would be initially resistant to enjoying a beer seems rather bizarre and inconsistent with his usual characterization. The same can be said for Zack's furious and aghast reaction to the idea of smoking pot; again, it's certainly not impossible for him to abstain from it, but his furious reaction seems at odds with his usual characterization. Bring anger at being offered pot could be related to how the person who did so was currently starring in a series of anti-drug ads with the gang. Zack may have been pissed at being lied to by someone he was becoming friends with, and also was pressuring Kelly to do it.

Take That!: There's one take that at Vice President Dan Quayle (like in most of the TV shows from this period) where during Zack's fantasy about becoming an industrialist, Quayle buys one of Zack's Buddy Band bracelets and tries to wear it as a headband, breaking it in the process. According to fantasy Jessie and fantasy Zack, this is apparently not the first time this has occurred. In "The Prom," Screech, Lisa, and the rest of the gang are watching a zombie movie and Lisa asks if Matt Dillon is in the movie, to which Screech responds "No, Alan Thicke is the zombie. Everybody knows that!" as a not-so-subtle way of insulting Thicke's acting skills.

Freudian Excuse
 Saved by the Bell / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: Several episodes in Good Morning, Miss Bliss implied that Zack's ultra-manipulative personality is the result of his parents being divorced. His father basically ignores him because of work while his mother makes excuses for Zack's delinquent behavior and generally does nothing to punish her son for his actions. In the Saved by the Bell proper, and The College Years, Zack's parents were still married. Furthermore, one of the earlier episodes in the proper series suggests that Zack is a poor student because his father is busy working all the time and never around to keep him focused.

Since in all likelihood the key ring is made of plastic, it doesn't have the strength to turn inside of a metal lock and it predictably breaks.

What the Hell, Hero?: Zack often gets called out by his friends for his schemes and manipulations yet they continue forgiving him and go along with them over and over again. Some of Kelly's actions during her relationship with Zack. For example, she cheated on him twice. In The College Years, Zack's attempts to win Kelly back are disregarded as stupid. One of the people she cheats on him with, a college professor, calls her out on this and when she realizes what she did to Zack, she doesn't blame herself, she blames him.

Food Shove Gag: The Substitute" has Screech attempting to woo Lisa with some Shakespeare-esque poetry, which ends with "So you may dip your French fries in my face". She does just that. "Fake I.D.s" has Screech making fake I.D.s for the guys. When he starts to tell Zack's Mom about them, Slater shoves a brownie in his mouth. "Snow White and the Seven Dorks" has an angry Wicked Queen Kelly, who caught Jessie kissing Zack though it wasn't what it looks like, shove an apple into the mouth of Snow White Jessie during the school play and growls at her, "I hope you choke on it, beanpole."

As for Zack/Jessie, there were definitely a few episodes in Season 1 that seemed to subtly Ship Tease them, such as the one where Jessie trains Zack to dance so that he can take Kelly to a dance, but Zack ends up asking Jessie herself to be his dance partner (many fans like to think of this as an example of Jessie becoming a Sexy Mentor to Zack), and even in their senior year, the moment after Jessie realizes that Zack has orchestrated a hair-brained scheme to get her into Stansbury University, she and Zack share a sweet moment outside Belding's office.

Continuity Snarl: The Good Morning, Miss Bliss episodes were originally just Canon Discontinuity after the retool. Only four characters made the transition and all sorts of details were changed. However, when the series exploded in popularity, the Good Morning, Miss Bliss episodes started airing to help pad the syndication package and were retroactively dubbed The Junior High Years. The snarl comes in as with these reruns, new intros with Zack reminiscing about junior high were filmed. In the Good Morning, Miss Bliss episodes, Zack's father was divorced, and Zack had a sister who was mentioned but not seen. After the retool, Zack's parents were together, his father's original actor had been replaced, and he was now an only child. The Tori episodes in Season 4. Not that the show as a whole is known for its continuity.

Sexy Mentor: The show clearly loved this. Here are some examples: Much to everybody's utter shock and awe, Screech becomes this to Kelly while coaching her for a science exam during their freshman year. Kelly begins to respect Screech for his scientific genius. Then, she actually starts to find it attractive (thus Kelly became seemingly the only person at Bayside to believe in the Nerds Are Sexy). Everyone else is completely shocked to hear about this and treat it as if it's the most shocking news of the century, reacting with a mixture of awe, disgust, and amazement, with people at Bayside openly wondering What Does She See in Him? Screech and Kelly getting together is apparently such a big deal that the news spreads like wildfire around the world, and George H. W. Bush, Barbara Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Margaret Thatcher are actually seen gossiping about it! President Bush himself sums it up by giving an OK sign and declaring "Way to go, Screech!" while First Lady Barbara nods in agreement. Even the crew of the MIR space station get in on the action. Screech repeats this again in The College Years when he plays astronomy mentor to a hot, famous tennis player. Stacey becomes one for Zack during the Malibu Sands arc. Jeff, the sleazy new manager of The Max becomes this for Kelly for a while, becoming the Romantic False Lead in the process until Kelly finds out he's been cheating on her. The lecherous Professor Lasky becomes this for Kelly as well in The College Years, becoming the Romantic False Lead and a fan unfavorite character overnight, as he was throwing a wrench in the Zack and Kelly pairing. In the end, Zack and Kelly get together when Kelly breaks up with Lasky after realizing that Zack truly loves her and that Lasky is just a sleazy Casanova Wannabe. After Lasky's relationship with Kelly was exposed and Kelly dumped him to return to Zack, Professor Lasky was last seen as a broken man, apparently undergoing a nervous breakdown and downing milk at the college food court in an attempt to cure his stress-induced ulcers...

Flanderization
 Saved by the Bell / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: Both Jessie and Slater ended up, by the end of the series, defined mainly by way of Jessie being an ultra-feminist and Slater a proud male chauvinist. Also by this time, Screech's "zaniness" had been flanderized into "blatant stupidity," which is about the time viewers just got sick of him.

Grandma's Recipe
 Saved by the Bell / int_e7f2ed66
comment
Grandma's Recipe: Subverted in an episode where Screech whips up a batch of his grandma's spaghetti sauce, which everyone at Bayside finds delicious. Zack turns it into a money-making enterprise, only to be threatened by a company who discovered "Screech's Secret Sauce" was from a recipe in their cookbooks. Screech says that of course it came from a cookbook because "Grandma was a lousy cook!"

Clingy Jealous Girl
 Saved by the Bell / int_eb5b71fe
comment
Clingy Jealous Girl: In "Date Auction", the boys participate in a date auction, and not one girl bids on Slater, until Kelly does out of pity. This despite him being a star wrestler and being good friends with Zack. That is justified as Jessie threatened every girl in school not to bid on Slater because she was opposed to the idea of a date auction for some reason. Kelly was the only one willing to to stand up to Jessie about it. Jessie initially plays it off as feminist disapproval, but it's quickly made clear she was being jealously possessive of Slater.

Dumbass Has a Point: Screech has so many of these that one would think he's Obfuscating Stupidity. To name a few examples: He's always the one who calls out Zack on his Jerkass behavior. When Zack calling him the dumbest person alive for including Kelly in their dating service whilst dating Zack, Screech responds "Well you hired me, so what's that make you?" When he accidentally grabs a baby doll rather than Kelly's brother, he acknowledges that Jessie and Lisa were the ones who pointed at the wrong crib.

Gold Digger: Lisa had shades of this at times. Coming from perhaps the richest family of the group (both parents being surgeons), she talked much about high fashion and bragged about spending money. Ironically, the one time she showed any interest in Screech is when he was being an actual gold digger, using his metal detector to find a real gold coin on the beach.

The lecherous Professor Lasky becomes this for Kelly as well in The College Years, becoming the Romantic False Lead and a fan unfavorite character overnight, as he was throwing a wrench in the Zack and Kelly pairing. In the end, Zack and Kelly get together when Kelly breaks up with Lasky after realizing that Zack truly loves her and that Lasky is just a sleazy Casanova Wannabe. After Lasky's relationship with Kelly was exposed and Kelly dumped him to return to Zack, Professor Lasky was last seen as a broken man, apparently undergoing a nervous breakdown and downing milk at the college food court in an attempt to cure his stress-induced ulcers...

Confirm Before Reveal: Late in the episode "House Party", Screech manages to get enough money by hosting a party at his house while his parents are away so that Slater can use the money to buy a replica of Screech's mother's Elvis statue that was accidentally broken earlier in the episode. Things take a bad turn when his parents come back earlier than initially planned, as Kelly and Lisa, who are watching through the front window, inform everyone else.note  Sure enough, Screech's mother comes inside within a minute before the party attendants can leave, though Zack manages to convince her the party is held in honor of Elvis.
