Another wonderful recap! I just realized that if SBTB was being made these days, Screech would have come out already. That boy loved his drag. It’s no wonder that I have issues as an adult, I idolized the Bayside gang like no other while eating my lucky charms every Saturday morning.

Saved By the Bell S01E11 – ‘The Friendship Business'
Making a grand entrance following behind three dorks, Zack steps into Mr. Tuttle’s classroom and gives the audience a look that makes us realize he’s going to tell us something fun and important. “Our group project for Economics is to start a business. We put our heads together this weekend and all we got was – a headache!” In walks Lisa, giving the girls some bracelets she made in the Fashion Club. I kind of wonder what projects the club would make today – knit blazers? I don’t know. I’m usually a decade behind on that stuff.
The first group goes up in front of the class to present their idea: Team “Surf ‘N’ Fold” creates a cardboard surfboard, which Slater points out will fail to float. Slater should be the one to talk – he doesn’t have any ideas. Mr. Tuttle reminds the surfer dudes that skeptics shouldn’t talk them out of their dream and gives them $100 in seed money to get their idea afloat. Pun intended. (I’m pretty sure I made that up, but Tuttle might have said it. It’s a Tuttle-y thing to announce.)
The Pointdexter group is up next, and they plan on revolutionizing the pocket protector. Let’s be honest – has anyone actually seen a pocket protector in real life? I haven’t, but I trust these nerds in pointing out any issues based on the basic model that they’ve become so familiar with. Tuttle hands over their seed money, and repeats his “motivated” chant once again. (The lyrics are quite complex: “MotivatedMotivatedMotivatedMotivated.”)
Jessie’s group is up next. “Well Mr. Tuttle – I’m afraid we couldn’t agree on anything –“ Zack interrupts and uses Lisa’s bracelets as their idea. The classroom thinks that it’s the coolest idea yet. Not like their competition was that impressive, but… Back at Zack’s house, Screech tells Zack that Lisa could make 19 bracelets in one day without sleeping. Zack doesn’t care about his good friend’s road to insomnia and says that success requires sacrifices. But – they’ll need more than 19 based on the classroom reaction alone. Zack launches into a “get rich quick” fantasy, where his picture is on the cover of FAMOUS magazine and Business Watch, and the border of his fantasy is hot pink. Screech takes on the meager role of plastic-haired “Robin Screech”, host of Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless, while Lisa is a poor bracelet-maker in desperate need of a nap. Mr. Belding has been demoted to the role of chauffer. Fantasy Zack is kind of a jerk.
Back to reality. The Fashion Club says they could make 60 bracelets a day – 80 if they were paid. “60 sounds good then,” Zack states. He then asks if anyone has a name for the company. “We’re selling friendship bracelets and we’re all friends, right?” Slater insists. “So what about ‘Friendship Forever’?” I think the name is dumb, but the gang all seems to like it.
The next topic is, who will be Vice President? Zack figures the Presidency is already his, even though everyone else decided on Jessie. “We have a million dollar idea! I don’t want Jessie to blow it,” Zack foolishly comments, following it up by calling Jessie a “sensitive marshmallow”.
And with that, the group angrily splits up. Slater and Kelly side with Jessie while Zack gets stuck with Lisa and Screech. The war is officially on.
The next day, Zack has his Friendship Bracelet station set up, with bracelets going for $5 each. When he sees his fallen comrades, he comments on how they lack a booth. Zack wins the unannounced booth-off!
Back in Mr. Tuttle’s class, Zack announces that so far, they’ve made $120. The class seems amazed and Tuttle then questions Jessie’s side project. Jessie has a video that will introduce the entire class to her newest idea.
Honestly, words can’t describe how amazing this video is. Please, just watch it yourself.
The dancing! The shirts! Slater’s “I tried everything I could think of” pose! How did they make that whole video in one day?
Zack objects, claiming that Buddy Bands are just like ‘Friendship Forever’ – or ‘Friendship Bracelets’. I’m not sure at this point if Zack officially changed the name. “Yours is a stupid wristband and ours is a clever headband!” Jessie harshly adds. Tuttle is on her side and the project is officially approved.
“How’s ‘Friendship Forever’ going?” Max asks Zack, Lisa and Screech later in the day. Max may be a magician, but he’s also a bloody mindreader! He manages to ask everything I’m wondering, right after I wonder it. I can’t believe his character vanishes in later seasons. Max tries to inspire the kids by telling them there was a restaurant down the street that threatened The MAX, but he won them all back with some magical egg promotion.
“What can we offer with a friendship bracelet?” Screech asks. “A friend with every purchase?” The “something hilarious will happen soon” background riff goes off as Zack and Lisa give each other devious glances.
Of course Screech is the poor sucker who has to be everyone’s “friend” for an hour during school with the purchase of every bracelet. If I bought a bracelet and then got stuck with Dustin Diamond for an hour of my life, I’d probably jump off a bridge. Also – doesn’t he have to attend class at some point? Friendship Forever is going to destroy his grade point average! After a night of dancing and being a “friend”, Screech collapses on Zack’s bean bag chair. Zack decides to replace Screech with Lisa, who gets so outraged that she quits the company. And she’s taking the Fashion Club with her! And Screech, as well!
Back at school, Lisa and Screech become absorbed into Buddy Bands – who are actually willing to pay the Fashion Club. “Zack thought salary was some sort of vegetable!” Lisa quips.
Zack comes down the stairs with a box and decides to close down Friendship Forever. Despite teasing from Slater, Zack says that he admits defeat and buys a Buddy Band. With a wink to the camera, it’s obvious that Zack has other plans up his sleeve.
Now that they’re leading the “Friendship Market”, Jessie decides to buy fabric for 9 zillion more buddy bands, which the fashion club will work on tonight. Forget Screech – doesn’t the Fashion Club have classes to go to and homework to do? Lisa and Kelly seem a bit shocked.
“Lisa, there’s no time for your opinion,” Jessie barks.
Lessons Learned: All Saved By the Bell bosses are horrible people.
Wait, there’s still more episode to go. I just got a little ahead of myself.
In the boys locker room, Belding is lifting weights. That’s normal, right? Zack approaches him, and compliments him on his manly biceps. Zack gives Belding the buddy band, as a gift from him. “I thought you were pushing friendship bracelets?” Belding questions. “Those are out, sir. These are in now,” Zack explains. He’s on the buddy-bandwagon. Belding is touched by the gesture.
Back at the buddy-bandstand, Kelly comments on how Buddy Bands are a huge hit. And just like that, success crumbles. Belding comes down the stairs with his Buddy Band and tries to make Buddy Band-related conversation with an uninterested student. Belding’s use of the product freaks the whole school out in unison and pretty soon, every single Buddy Band is returned. Which is unfortunate, since Slater misses the commotion by two seconds, happily carrying a box of 500 more Buddy Bands. All of their profits are gone!
Back at the MAX, the Buddy Band gang is in the midst of an argument. In walks Zack, sitting all by his lonesome. Max asks him if everything is okay and offers Zack “four friends with a Screech on the side”. With one weird friendship-bracelet-related magic trick, Max disperses a row of bracelets to Zack’s ex-friends, and they all forgive him for some reason.
Zack tells the crew that they can still salvage their grade in Tuttle’s class if they find a way to combine their two ideas. They have now created “Love Cuffs”. A new way for guys and girls to stick together forever. They also sold their buddy band inventory to the nerds to use as book straps. Despite the fact that they have somewhat created an adult-themed toy, Tuttle seems to like the fact that the two groups finally figured out all of their social differences, even if they put friendship in front of business and their class grade.
But they get an A anyway, since it’s Saved By the Bell.
Lessons Learned: Kids in high school will buy absolutely anything.

Oh the hilarity! I used to watch Saved By The Bell with my sister on Saturday mornings while our parents were out shopping. Looking back, the show wasn’t that great (major revelation for me) but these recaps are so funny, and really cheer me up after a tough day at work. Thanks heaps, keep it up!

One of the best one-liners from that season…no, no, the SERIES, is in this episode. “Belding’s wearing one. You can’t GET more defective than THAT!” Ohhh snapple! Makes me want to bust out into Slater’s trademark move from the 0:33 mark.

Saved By the Bell S01E16 – ‘Save That Tiger'
Zack walks into the MAX and announces that this week is the city cheerleading finals. Once again, Bayside and Valley are the favorites and once again, the prank war between the two rivals is so on!
Slater and Screech are sitting down and begin suggesting some ideas. Maybe putting snapping turtles in their pool? Last time they did that, their swim team beat a new record. “Let’s flush all their toilets at once!” Screech announces. Of course, Zack insults him for this idea. (Plus, how would three guys be able to pull that off?)
In walk two nerds, who are bonded together by toilet paper and wearing a sign that says “Valley Rules”. Looks like Valley struck first. Zack’s not worried – they struck first, sure, but Zack will strike best. Max cuts the nerds apart with a sword, even though yet again mentioning the obvious – they can’t struggle their way out of toilet paper? The nerds head out, forgetting to throw the toilet paper away. I’m sure Max regrets taking time out of his day to set them free after viewing this blatant sign of disrespect.
Kelly, Jessie and Lisa enter, in the midst of a conversation about the cheerleading tournament. “You can beat Valley with your pompoms tied behind your backs!” Jessie says with support. “Not if we can’t find a cheerleader who can replace Nancy Zyler,” Kelly sighs. Seems like Nancy came down with a case of the chicken pox. Isn’t that extremely dangerous for someone her age? I bet Nancy’s illness was way more embarrassing – she probably isn’t very good with the art of creating a cover-up story.
Slater suggests Jessie. “Me? A cheerleader? I’m the class President, not some silly schoolgirl,” she hisses. Kelly must feel great right now. Lisa and Kelly call her out and Jessie starts to defend herself with, “I didn’t mean silly in a bad way, but…” Right, Jessie. After Jessie rambles for a bit, she tells Kelly that she’ll help find a new girl for the squad. They decide to have emergency tryouts after school!
Rhonda, the tall lass who seems to obsess over Zack, was sadly one of the 28 girls that just wasn’t fit to be on Team Bayside, which brings Kelly to a state of panic. So far their best audition was a 60-year-old crossing guard. With a bit of snootiness, Jessie announces that she’ll fill the void.
The boys walk in, and announce all of the great pranks they’ve pulled on Valley so far.
They put superglue on the school’s track. “The 100 yard dash has been going on for hours!” Zack announces. This is impossible, right? They pumped helium in the glee club room. The three demonstrate and the canned audience just loves it. They sound like chipmunks! And not people! They stole the school banner. Jessie doesn’t approve of this. Still celebrating the victory, the boys walk out and see the hallway has been toilet papered. Someone from Valley must have a parent who works in a toilet paper factory since these pranks just seem so similar and unoriginal.
Belding walks in and views the scene. “Don’t tell me it’s the prank war again!” he states. No, Belding. Someone’s Mummy costume just exploded in the hallway. The fact that this prank war has been going on for years has nothing to do with it.
Belding wants it to be over with, and says he’ll be meeting with Valley’s principal – Principal Stingwell. In the meantime, no more pranks. While the three seem to sadly agree, they realized that Valley had one more trick up their sleeve – silly string in the lockers! Valley is so cool. We meet Principal Stingwell, who’s lecturing two students over the prank wars. But instead of telling them he’s ashamed of the pranks, he lets them know that their most recent hits were amateurish. Finally, someone agrees with me! I like this Stingwell fellow.
In walks Belding, and Stingwell is quick to “buzz” him with a handshake. What a jokester. I kind of hope that Belding comments on the fact that Stingwell’s office is horrifically similar to his own. Maybe Valley and Bayside hired the same architectural team.
Stingwell then instructs Belding to sit down and Belding senses a prank coming on. “I think I’ll sit over here,” he says cautiously. Unfortunately, Belding’s bum activates a loud horn on the chair and almost gives him a heart attack. “My, my, Richard – noisy panties!” Stingwell laughs. We get it – this dude likes to scare people. Now on with Belding taking control!
“Is this the same Mad Dog Belding who put jumping beans in the chili?” Stingwell says with disbelief. “You started it, pal.” “I didn’t start it – you started it when you planted poison ivy on the football field!” Belding states. On his way out, Stingwell sticks a “Valley Rules” sign on Belding’s back before they conclude that while it was fun while it lasted, all fun things must end.
Back at the MAX, Zack and Slater are dressed in camouflage. They’re not sure what they’re going to be doing but at least they look nice. Screech dresses like a ninja for some reason instead and upon stating he’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Screech”, an audience member screams with laughter. It’s the funniest thing anyone has said all day! Remember the Ninja Turtles?!
The girls get Screech to try and spy on the cheerleading squad in order to figure out what cheer they were doing. Back at Kelly’s house, the three girls emerge. Jessie has a great new idea for the squad, which include ankle-length skirts. “Give them a chance, they’re very ladylike!” Jessie says. She says that they’ll help the squad win, since the judges wouldn’t be distracted by their bodies – they’ll be listening to their words. Actually, the judges will probably be like, “Why is that team wearing such ugly skirts? Did their school not pass the budget this year?”
But that’s not it: Jessie also composed a terrible, brand new cheer for the group:
We are the ladies of Bayside, the best school around. Winning’s not important because our minds are sound. Rah.
When that one gets knocked down, Jessie presents a second cheer. The only fallback is that the cheer is “dangerous for the mascot”. But since the mascot is Screech, nobody cares.
At cheerleading practice, Slater announces that while the other team had a good cheer, they’ll soon be losing their pep. In walks Zack, holding Valley’s mascot – a bulldog with a shirt on.
They state that they’ll return the dog after the competition, but plan on taking a picture of the dog with all of the Bayside cheerleaders. In walks Belding, who has no clue what’s going on. He agrees to be in the picture, unaware that the picture will include evidence of dognapping.
It doesn’t take long for Valley boys – dressed in Bayside gear – to break into the Bayside locker room. Screech enters, fully in tiger-gear, and begins talking up his credentials on the squad. Soon, Screech gets cornered. “Great! You guys stole Valley t-shirts!” he says with enthusiasm. “NO! WE STOLE BAYSIDE JACKETS!” Screech puts two and two together and soon gets kidnapped. This episode is turning really dark.
Zack and Slater break the news to the girls as they hold the remainder of Screech’s uniform – a lone tiger tail. Poor Screech. “No, poor us!” Jessie yells. “We’re doomed.” Really?
Zack asks if they really care about Screech but then says that without his return, they’ll definitely win the prank war. If this episode was filmed in 2014, I’m sure the news of the Screech-napping would have already hit the internet. Zack has yet another hot-pink-bordered fantasy – in this one, they’re awarding medals for the prank war, and Zack has come in dead last. “Jack Norris from Bayside!” Fantasy Stingwell announces, as he hands Zack his prize – a box filled with fake snakes and then a pie in the face. And then water in the face, to clean off the pie.
Back in reality, Jessie states that Zack is being selfish. He only cares about the prank war. What about the cheerleading competition?! Uh. What about Screech’s safety?
The gang approaches Belding for advice. He says he’ll call Stingwell and try to do a dog/Screech exchange. Stingwell says it’s important to take the tiger back and leaves the two Valley lunkheads to interpret that as “You can do whatever with the boy, but the school DEMANDS that tiger costume!”
The gang fails to take off the tiger mask when “Screech” is returned and Jessie – announcing they have no time – drags the tiger to the competition. Valley reunites with their t-shirt dog. Bayside assumes the problems are all taken care of, but I have a feeling something hilarious will happen next.
In runs Screech. He’s escaped from Valley, and announces that Clay’s cousin Dan is in the costume, set to ruin the cheer.
Valley’s team starts to cheer and it’s average to poor if you’ve watched Bring It On as much as I have. Bayside’s up next. Slater and Zack make sure to lace the tiger costume with itching powder that Screech had access to somehow since somehow that will help their team win? Not only is the tiger extremely uncomfortable but the powder forces him to do cartwheels and flips like never before! Bayside wins!
When it’s revealed that Screech wasn’t in the costume after all, Stingwell seems like he may reprimand a student for the first time all year. The gang celebrates their prank & cheerleading wins with a group high five freeze-frame.
Lessons Learned: Itching powder is the best method for advanced gymnastics. The best way to enter a school that isn’t your own is to obtain a jacket somehow. If you go to Bayside or Valley, you will never go to jail.

Saved By The Bell S2E09 – ‘Jessie's Song'
Yes. This is that episode.
Jessie is sitting at the Max, drinking a cup of coffee. In walks Zack, wearing a hip, blue-striped shirt and carrying a soda. Zack tells everyone that the Geometry midterm is this weekend and scores a seat next to Screech.
“Eugh – I hate coffee!” Jessie exclaims. “Susie, can I have another cup please?” The audience laughs, not yet realizing how serious this will soon become. Jessie explains that she’s been up half the night trying to study for Geometry, and she still doesn’t understand it. You said it, sister. I cried every day in Geometry class – since all of a sudden the circles and triangles I knew and loved were confusing and out to get me. Jessie is set to go to Stanford, and she’s known people who have gotten straight As but have still been turned down.
Slater walks in and comments on how guys are great at math. “It’s a shame you weren’t born a man,” he quips. Really? I feel bad for Kelly – her whole arc on this series was figuring out whether or not to take Zack or Slater to whatever dance, and they’re both jerks. “It’s a shame you weren’t born one either,” Jessie responds. Nice! Meanwhile, Kelly and Lisa are by the jukebox. “Jessie, put the books away! The test isn’t till Friday!” Kelly says. Then she and Lisa break out into song. That’s what my friends and I do all the time!
“Tonight’s the night we’re going to make it happen,” sing Lisa and Kelly, offkey. “Tonight we’ll put all other things aside. Give in this time and show me some affection. We’re going for the pleasuresindanaaiii.” (Okay, that wasn’t the last phrase, but I’ve literally rewound the scene about 9 times and can’t figure it out.)
Once the girls are done, Zack lets them know that his Dad knows a record producer and they’re looking for a new girl group similar to New Kids on the Block. Zack, already with dollar signs in his eyes, says that he can be their manager and that they should give it a shot. Spoiler Alert: I’ve suddenly figured out how Zack Attack launched.
The girls deny him, saying that their singing is pretty much geared towards a locker room as opposed to a studio. At least they’re aware that they aren’t good.
Back in Geometry class, Mr. Dewey is handing back quizzes. In typical sitcom fashion, he’s announcing the grades out loud so that everyone can hear. Did anyone ever have teachers that actually did that? I mean, I sneaked a peek at the grades of the people around me but if my Geometry teacher announced all of those Fs I got, I think my crying would have turned into uncontrollable sobbing. And perhaps a caffeine addiction that I just couldn’t shake.
Jessie gets a C, which bums her out. “C? C?!” she says in a panic. “Si, Senorita, but this is Geometry, not Spanish,” Dewey responds. Slater tells Jessie that he’ll help her study and they agree to meet at her house at 7. Meanwhile, Zack pulls Screech aside and tells him to be prepared to record the girls locker room. Since that’s where they sing, Zack needs to get a tape of their vocals despite the fact that they’re clearly not interested.
However, all Jessie is doing in the locker room is studying. “Does anyone know how to bisect the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle?” she asks. Personally, I get nervous. All of those past Geometry fears are coming back to me. I promise I won’t start sobbing uncontrollably mid-recap – or will I?
In walks Screech in drag, pretending to be a creepy, tiny, Irish janitor. Once again, the girls have no clue that it’s one of their best friends. Screech says that when he gets depressed over things, he sings a song. Kelly claims that this is a great idea, despite the fact that it came from a random stranger.
Screech introduces himself as Sinead O’Connor. “Come on lassies, let’s cheer up and sing!” Offkey, the girls decide to sing ‘I’m So Excited’, even though none of them discuss the song choice prior to.
Back at Jessie’s house, Slater is trying to help lecture Jessie. The textbook has a gigantic “G” on it, so it must be for Geography, right? Oh, I hope he’s not accidentally reading her a German book or a book about Gnomes. She’d surely fail.
“Would you marry me and take the test for me?” Jessie says with flirty eyes. She knows things don’t work out that way, right? Slater ignores the comment and Zack pops in through Jessie’s window with great news. The record producer loved the secret tape! Zack has some explaining to do. “You violated our privacy? That’s disgusting!” Jessie states. She’s right – that is pretty heinous. However, she’s also flattered – the producer thinks she’s the best of the three! Zack heads out and Slater says he should be going home soon. They’ve been studying for four hours and he’s exhausted.
With no hesitation, Jessie offers him a pill, called CheapAlert. Slater gets a little concerned – the pills state they’re stronger than coffee and may be habit forming. Casually, he tells Jessie that she shouldn’t be taking them and Jessie agrees. As Slater heads out, the two of them kiss!
But the second Slater leaves, Jessie grabs the book, and pops another pill or five. At the Max, Jessie is sitting down with Mr. Belding. It’s so weird seeing Belding out of the school, I won’t lie. Belding says that he’d write her a great recommendation and comments on her almost-straight-A average. “Almost isn’t good enough for Stanford!” Jessie whines. Belding says that if it makes her feel better, he got a C in Geometry. Stop rubbing it in, you guys. I got a D.
Belding says that no matter what, there are a lot of great colleges out there – even colleges good enough for Zack! “That’s probably where I’ll wind up!” Jessie laments. Actually Jessie, you were one of the few who didn’t sign up for The College Years. Don’t worry!
Jessie has a hot-pink-border fantasy of college or, to be specific, Surf University. Surf University has beach chairs and pretty women and it’s the only place Jessie was accepted after getting a C in Geometry. Mr. Dewey is also at Surf University but his lectures are all about sunblock. This is truly Jessie’s nightmare! A nightmare that only makes her need to ace this test, no matter what.
In the hallway, Zack tells the girls that while the producer loves them, they have competition: Buns on the Run, Spiked Earlobes and the Zit Hit Machine. “What if they don’t choose us?” Kelly asks, with worry. Well, Kelly, your life will probably be just the same as it was before, since you didn’t even know you were taped.
Zack dubs the girls “Hot Sundae” – which they seem to enjoy – but already, the future pressure is getting to Jessie. She just has too much stuff to do. And once the bell rings and the group disperses, she takes another pill.
Wearing leotards and hot pants, Hot Sundae’s music video is … well, atrocious. But I’m sure in the 90s, it was really cool. Using slow-mo techniques, spontaneous costume changes, trampolines and synchronized dance, ‘Go For It’ is bound to be a hit.
And it is! The next test is a live performance at the MAX. Jessie notes that she has to study but the girls convince her after Slater tells her she’s ready. Slater’s about to take a test as well and needs to borrow a pen. Jessie tells him to look in her bookbag and he finds… THE PILLS.
“Jessie, those pills are dangerous,” he says. “Yeah, so is Geometry!” She needs them to stay awake and study, and tells Slater he needs to mind his own business.
Back in class, Jessie is super pumped – ready for the exam and loving Lisa’s earrings. Also, Kelly seems to be wearing a bikini top with a denim jacket. I’m more focused on that than Jessie’s amped and caffeinated personality. Shouldn’t someone give Kelly an intervention on appropriate school-wear?
Jessie is first to finish the exam and she knows she aced it. On the pills, she announces formulas to her pupils out loud. Post-test, Slater brings Zack outside to have a serious talk.
“I think Jessie’s taking drugs,” Slater states. Zack gets defensive, saying they’re probably only vitamins and he’s not going to listen to the debate any more.
After a great rehearsal, it’s time for the live event! Zack walks into Jessie’s room to see her asleep on the bed. Delusional, Jessie mumbles something about the Geometry test and then questions where Zack is taking her. She wants to wash her hair, but Zack claims there’s no time. “NO TIME, THERE’S NEVER ANY TIME!” Jessie screams. She’s so confused!
Jessie grabs for the pills. She needs them – she has to sing! She’s so excited! She’s so excited! She’s so … scared! Jessie crumbles into a pile on Zack’s shoulders and he tells her that they’ll get through this. Remember that time when they sneaked out to see E.T. in the dark? They were scared then, too. Back at the Max, the girls are lipsyching with Screech as Jessie’s alternative. Slater tries to apologize to the record executive but he looks pretty certain that Buns on the Run will be getting the deal.
Back at home, Jessie is in bed, surrounded by friends. Her mom is bringing her in for counseling tomorrow. And Slater brought flowers! He’s still totally into her! Everyone apologizes for the whole Jessie/Drugs incident. Friends forever.
Lessons Learned: Singing in a locker room could land you a record deal. Also, I guess I really should watch my caffeine intake.
