Saved By the Bell – Wall Street
As one of the 8th grade episodes, this was less fun and more lessony. Although I must admit that I absolutely love Hayley Mills, I always have.
In this episode, we get to learn about the stock market through the mistakes and deceit of Zack Morris. The class invests in some airline stock, but because Zack needs $300 to buy a new video camera, he decides to change the stock over to potatoes. All I can think is mmmm, tasty.
Of course, the market plummets and it’s like this huge disaster. Miss Bliss gets stuck footing the bill, since the kids bought the stock on margin and she had to make up the difference. We end with her getting the kids to find new homes for all the potatoes she is suddenly owner of.
While the fashion in the episode isn’t great, it’s pretty average and there aren’t too many noteworthy things. Zack does wear some bright red high tops, bright enough to make my eyes go wonky – definitely something he would not do in the later years. Also, Lisa wears the same headband three days in a row, which I doubt she would really do. I guess this is a little pre-totally shopping Lisa, but still. She talks about fashion enough that she should know better!
On the whole, kind of boring, and we never even get to see Miss Bliss’ new awesome convertible sports car! Since she is so worried she’s gonna lose it because of the potato trouble, you think we’d get a glimpse!
