Okay, I'm back with the first of four final posts on Saved by the Bell. Yes, I said for because I am going to reflect on the series as a whole when I am done with Season 5. Now let's get right to it shall we?
Episode 1: The Fight (F):
Need I really have to say anything about what makes this episode so great. Zack and Slater actually get into a physical fight. It was a long time coming too. Yes, they were rivals over Kelly but Zack won her fair and square so there was no reason to fight. But this time it was over a new girl they both liked. And they both did something to try to ruin the other's date with that girl and so it led to a fight. But they did solve their differences and become friends again.
Episode 2: Student Teacher Week (F):
Kelly is the history teacher; Lisa and Screech are the gym coaches; and Zack is the Principal? He is for one week in order to learn responsibility. And that he does folks when he suspends Slater and the other Senior football players for missing Kelly's test. They then take the test during the game and play only after they pass. They then go out and win the game.
Episode 3: Screech's Spaghetti Sauce (F):
The kids put on a "Today" like show for kids for public access Television and there is a segment with Screech in the Kitchen with Slater. He is fixing his grandmother's secret spaghetti sauce recipe which can be found in a Betty Crocker Cookbook. Screech also gets a date with a girl that turned down both Zack and Slater. But she is only using him which he finds out the hard way but with Zack and the other's help he gets back at her by selling her his business of selling someone else's recipe in order to get money to pay Mr. Belding for using school supplies.
Episode 4: The New Girl (TE):
Take special not there is no F by this episode and that is because I call this and several of the episodes that follow "Tory Episodes" and I do not like these episodes and I will tell you why. 1, there is no Kelly or Jessie. Now I know the behind the scenes why but no in-episode mention of where they are is unacceptable. Plus, in this episode Lisa acts like a jerk the entire time.
Episode 5: The Bayside Triangle (F):
In this episode, Screech finally tries to win Lisa's heart only it gets captured by Zack instead. Screech wants a fight but Zack knows its not worth it (probably because of the one he had with Slater). In the end, Zack and Screech remain friends and he gets Lisa for a date.
Episode 6: Teen Line (TE)(F):
This is another "Tory Episode" as indicated above with a TE. This episode is kind of a favorite because it shows Zack trying to help someone and getting carried away not with a get rick scheme but with caring too much about something rather than someone. In this case, it was a girl in wheelchair.
Episode 7: Masquerade Ball (TE):
This is another "Tory Episode" and is not a favorite. Zack and Slater bet on who can kiss Tory first. It ends up with Slater kissing Screech and Zack apologizing.
Episode 8: Day of Detention (TE):
Again, this is a "Tory Episode" and not one I like. Zack tries to win a trip to Hawaii while trying to get out of Detention and gets his friends involved and in Detention, too. Thanks, Zack
Well that ends part one of Season 5. Next time is Part 2 where I will be reviewing 6 favorite episodes including 1 of 3 clip shows. Talk to you then.
