A Saved by the Bell Baby

I know you’re all very excited to learn that Tiffani Amber Thiessen successfully delivered a baby girl this week.  What’s that I hear, you didn’t know?  That’s what I’m here for, to provide you with relevant information about our favorite Bayside alums. It kind of made me wonder – how many kids do y’all think [… Read More]

Saved by the Bell – Graduation

Weeee, the gang is graduating!  Jessie says the last final was really hard, but ummmm, I don’t remember any actual high school finals being difficult.  She claims she’s going to be valedictorian!  Not with that kind of attitude lady! In the meantime, Zack who scored wicked high on his SATs, is in danger of not [… Read More]

Saved by the Bell – School Song

Aww, a senior year episode, aka when Zack looked the hottest! I’m going to admit that to an extent, I actually love the bright colors they still wore in this show.  The kids graduated in 1993 (for the record, I already knew that and didn’t even look it up…go go my awesome useless memory!), so [… Read More]

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 [… Read More]

Saved by the Bell: The College Years – Guess Who’s Coming to College

Imagine how excited I was to discover that I have nearly all of the College Years episodes, on account of there are like 18 total.  I *also* have the entire Wedding in Las Vegas special, so thank your lucky stars that you will get to hear all about this gem.  Thank the techno gods for [… Read More]

Saved by the Bell – 1-900-CRUSHED

I very much prefer the episodes before Jessie and Slater were dating, the tension between them when they don’t make out is more fun than when they make out and fight. So in this episode, Zack tries one of his money making schemes by starting a phone line for the kids at Bayside to ask [… Read More]

Saved by the Bell – Running Zack

This episode starts out with two things – Zack is awesome at running (natch!), and everyone is doing a class project on their ancestors.  Zack, of course, hasn’t done his project yet.  Are you shocked? Lisa’s grandfather of many greats was a slave, but escaped and helped run the Underground Railroad.  The teacher announces, right [… Read More]

Saved by the Bell – Cut Day

First, what on earth, Cut Day?  When I was in high school, there was a day when the seniors were customarily out of school, but not everyone!  How did this happen? I love how everyone “crucial” to the episode always has their locker right by the gang.  Interesting how the lockers are conveniently rotated out [… Read More]

Saved by the Bell – Mystery Weekend

Holy Lisa’s outfit!  I wasn’t aware that it was possible to put THAT MANY colors all together in one outfit.  Sometimes I forget how long ago these episodes were filmed…and then I look at Slater’s MC Hammer pants and I remember.  It’s funny to realize how much TV budgets have grown – no way would [… Read More]

Saved by the Bell – Fake ID’s

Surprise surprise, Zack falls for an older girl and lies that he’s in college!  Actually, the surprise is that she doesn’t figure it out, or at least pretends that she doesn’t. The fashion in this episode, once again, is dreadful.  Slater wearing a bolo tie?  Ugh!  The kind of suits they wear to The Attic?  [… Read More]
