That was the worst fake product placement I have ever seen. The story made absolutely no sense with it! Scrooge lauds Moody's store, and then doesn't know where his own dapper duds come from? And Slater's accent was atrocious. And was Mr. Moody really happy that his store was called the perfect place to shop for misers? It all just made little sense.<br />

And here. Lisa kisses Screech in the last episode. Now she's undressing him. What is going on in this show?<br />
<br />
We have to move on to the guest stars, because I could just harp on this episode for days.<br />

This must have been quite the catch for SBTB. Stephen Mendel plays Frank, the down-on-his-luck father who has no home. He had a lengthy role on "Night Heat" in which he played Lieutenant Freddie Carson. He brought some experience to this young cast. And then this episode happened and he floundered. His longest gig after this was as the voice of Splinter in one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons.<br />
<br />
His daughter seems to have faired better.<br />

Laura is played by Jennifer McComb. Jennifer is the sister of Heather McComb and the two worked on the TV series "The Outsiders." The sisters also acted in different episodes of "Cracker: Mind Over Murder." Why do I mention these curiosities? Well, these are about the only things that make her stand out. She was a model in "Zoolander." She had parts in other movies, but nothing really giving her staying power.<br />
<br />
Bummer. That's how this ends. Meh.<br />

I'm not sure if he stepped on something or if he bumped into Jesse. The only reason I saw this is because I was lamenting how tight his pants are. Yikes.<br />

Speaking of "yikes," how about that boss?<br />

Mr. Moody is aptly named, as he is a moody little man. He is played by Lew Horn. Sure, Lew Horn has some solid credits behind his name, but he also has some strangely sexual ones as well. For instance: "Date Rape: No Means No," a TV movie. Also, a sketch movie called "If You Don't Stop It... You'll Go Blind." Also, another TV movie called "Cry Rape." I guess you take the roles you are given. Especially when one of the roles is in SBTB: The New Class. That's right, Mr. Horn reprises his role in the red-headed step-child show a few years down the line.<br />
<br />
Now, Lew Horn isn't the only guest star in this episode, but since this story is a two-parter, and since no other guest star appears in the next episode, I'll save the Bentons for the next blog. For now, would someone please tell the kid in the background to stop staring at Screech's tragic hair?<br />

Just by his face alone, it seems like he's thinking: <i>Oooh,</i> y<i>eah Screech. You get yours. Just lean on over and oooh. Dat's nice.</i> He can think those creepy thoughts; we know what ours are: Shut up, Dustin Diamond!<br />

This poor sap is played by David Kriegel. I didn't know a male-Jesse could be so lame. Mr. Kriegel seemed to be destined for greatness in his early career. In the early 90s he had roles in "21 Jump Street," "Quantum Leap," "Growing Pains," and "90210." Movies included "Speed" and "Leaving Las Vegas." But, alas, roles became a bit more scarce. In 2006 he tried to jump over to the other side of the camera by producing and directing an episode of "VIP Passport." This stint lasted one episode. He now owns a dance studio with his wife called Creation Station.<br />
<br />
But let's focus more on Graham. Graham was a dolt and a magician all at once.<br />
<br />

Wait, is that a butt? What did I just say!?! This is a kiddy show! Why is a butt in this shot? Yes, there is a swimsuit on that actress, but it is clearly covering very little. I recall this being another instance of my mom walking into the room at this very wrong moment and declaring that "Saved by the Bell" is of the devil for glorifying immodesty.<br />
<br />
Lastly, how blind is Mrs. Cunningham? Well, she thinks Nigeria is in North America. Worse: She looks closer at the map and realizes she is in North America but thinks she is pointing at Las Vegas, Nevada.<br />

You may recall him from the very first SBTB episode "<a href="http://epicsavedbythebell.blogspot.com/2013/09/0201-dancing-to-max.html" target="_blank">Dancing to the Max</a>." Mr. Kasem is a legend. He is probably best known for hosting the "American Top 40" radio show. In fact, he is a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame. He was also a producer and voice actor. I've switched to the past tense here, as Mr. Kasem recently passed away. But his unique voice will always be remembered.<br />
<br />
Not a legend: Brian Fate.<br />

Brian Fate, the across-the-pond music producer that just happened to be running by the Zack Attack practice space, is played by Nick Brooks. His resume is sparse, to say the least. The thing you would recognize is a stint on "Quantum Leap," though I guess he should get some credit for his role as Paratrooper Joe from "Saving Private Ryan." (I haven't seen the movie, but I'm pretty sure it's not a major character, as I can't see Tom Hanks shouting for Paratrooper Joe to join him behind enemy lines.)<br />
<br />
His music-producing counterpart is just as bland:<br />

Stacie Foster plays Mindy Wallace. (Doesn't it sound like Mindy Wallatzer in the show?) She had very small roles in some things, like being a doll mom zombie in "Night of the Living Dead," and better roles in the baby brothers of bigger shows. (What does that mean? She had a role in "Baywatch Nights."Not "Baywatch," but it's gimpy little brother. Also, "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" - not as Mindy.)<br />

Johnny Dakota is played by Eddie Garcia, one of the members of Guys Next Door. Both shows ran on NBC; I guess we shouldn't be surprised to see some crossover. He makes other appearances on screen, but I am more interested in the roles he has filled: "Miracles Dancer," "Dancer," "Mexican Dancer," "Hot Traxx Dancer," "Hip Hopper," and "Lotus Land Dancer." It should be pretty clear that he is a dancer. Even better, he is a choreographer, which means he tells people how to dance.<br />
<br />
Hopefully Eddie Garcia didn't choreograph the dancing in the final video or else I would think way, way less of him. What dancing, you ask? Well:<br />

Notice here how Zack and Co. are out of the shot with the NBC executive and then they all mosey in after his speech. This is supposedly the take they like.<br />
<br />

<br />
The final program shows Zack already in the frame as the NBC executive waltzes in, and then the rest of the cast shuffles in after his speech. Shoddy continuity work, fellows. Shoddy.<br />
<br />
But who is this NBC executive? Would you believe that this is the tried-and-true CEO of NBC at the time, Brandon Tartikoff?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Of course you would. It is. This man helmed NBC during its heyday, when NBC released long-running, memorable shows. Examples: "The A-Team," "Knightrider," "Cheers," "The Cosby Show," "ALF," and many, many others. And, because it deserves to be in a class on its own, he also was around for "Seinfeld." We owe this man so much! Sadly, Mr. Tartikoff would die at 48 from cancer, but we can remember him for being a great television business man who okayed our SBTB.<br />

There is an uncomfortable shuffling of hands that results in the two basically just intertwining their arms on the other guy's knee. The dude's facepalm is very appropriate, as this was probably his onscreen big break and he ruined it. In this dude's honor, let's get the Troll out of the way:<br />

There she is atop the bleachers uniting alongside the "nerds." Nerds? Well, that chubby girl with glasses is behind the coach, but everyone else on those bleachers seem normal, including Slater (behind Kelly). Just who exactly is the nerd girl uniting with? Nobody! Molly the Troll gets a pass.<br />
<br />
So who is this girl the "nerds" (read: entire population of Bayside?) is uniting for? Ms. Kristy Barnes, played by Krystee Clark.<br />

Krystee had the regular on and off again relationship with Hollywood. She appeared in most of the good 90s shows: "Step by Step," "The Wonder Years," and "Roseanne." She also pulled my favorite stunt of appearing multiple times in a show but as different characters in one of my all-time favorite shows "Boy Meets World." Lately? Krystee ran for government in Hollywood. Her goal was to bring back the Hollywood dream. She lost. But she'll always be a winner to me, because she boasts on her LinkedIn page that she was Trish Putterman in the old Duracell commercials.<br />

Christina is played by Eva Loseth, a girl with a few credits to her name. She had a two-episode stint on "Doogie Houser, M.D." and a role in "Deep Space Nine," along with a few others. She also expanded her Hollywood repertoire and co-produced a little film called "Art House." It now appears that she is a realtor back in her home of Illinois.<br />
<br />
Let's take a quick peak at some background action:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwx9Sbn-3fbTdmcX2bl9hfrwKj3w0VIn7rDBnxHF3-LOr4OTOwsegpKeS0ttRt4O8YOq418689qgYFC18j6WYcLVJoLwMf9666tkXgkHKZzClCX8l9ruppzcM2F204KFErKFJfhaYwKKWx/s1600/hardlymoving.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwx9Sbn-3fbTdmcX2bl9hfrwKj3w0VIn7rDBnxHF3-LOr4OTOwsegpKeS0ttRt4O8YOq418689qgYFC18j6WYcLVJoLwMf9666tkXgkHKZzClCX8l9ruppzcM2F204KFErKFJfhaYwKKWx/s1600/hardlymoving.jpg" height="327" width="400" /></a></div>
Notice Captain Odd Shorts/Captain Weird Hair/Captain Woefully 90s Shirt? He isn't really moving on that treadmill, just treading steps, if you will. That lovely gal next to him seems to be helping him get his machine going. When she leaves -<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMbdtmL7FUVOKaxrPhm3zugWFLf8sk9HJW3NOY5_NzP6tvehyphenhyphenx6q5K3O-MAqITBimp1njDCnERTfUwSy2uqEoqIx1CbWSWTtQGFY1OS7_UtJL6Ibg-CM5lq8bkCEKR8CXQ1yxWZ1Nfh_m/s1600/girlgonenotmoving.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMbdtmL7FUVOKaxrPhm3zugWFLf8sk9HJW3NOY5_NzP6tvehyphenhyphenx6q5K3O-MAqITBimp1njDCnERTfUwSy2uqEoqIx1CbWSWTtQGFY1OS7_UtJL6Ibg-CM5lq8bkCEKR8CXQ1yxWZ1Nfh_m/s1600/girlgonenotmoving.jpg" height="365" width="400" /></a></div>
- he seems to keep standing there while leaning on the machine and simply bending his legs. No wonder she left, Captain No-Pain-No-Gain! She was appalled at everything about you, including your workout ethic.<br />
<br />
Lastly, how about a mild Shut Up, Dustin Diamond?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yup, this is way more from Kelly Kapowski than I ever got. So mildly shut up, Dustin Diamond.<br />

Blergh.<br />
<br />
With this being a two-parter, we'll tackle some things here and some things in the next blog.<br />
<br />
First things first, notice the eyes as the pretty lady walks by:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTpRPj8aR6-nSLTQRy98KXazsgrP-dHbE7fMIvEEk1juWWlP8Adu8mMJcbDx_ixQRlAVkZoukn_EALPqYoB-3QZLh6ua5LafIcSy4g03Y8roFaet7beYXwfZEQ_eH1_iY86ZuA_MdMJfD_/s1600/eyesup1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTpRPj8aR6-nSLTQRy98KXazsgrP-dHbE7fMIvEEk1juWWlP8Adu8mMJcbDx_ixQRlAVkZoukn_EALPqYoB-3QZLh6ua5LafIcSy4g03Y8roFaet7beYXwfZEQ_eH1_iY86ZuA_MdMJfD_/s1600/eyesup1.jpg" height="301" width="640" /></a></div>
Everyone is being very respectful of this workout-ready lady as she walks by. Everyone except for Jessie. Look at her stare at that woman's chest as if she were sizing her up as some piece of meat! Does this ogling not look like the very thing she condemns chauvinistic man-pigs for doing, like her boyfriend Slater? (Which, by the way, doesn't seem to be a relationship for this episode.) Eyes up, Jessie, and respect that scantily-clad woman as you preach she should be in every other episode of SBTB. I'll go one further: respect her as much as everyone else, including the boys, is doing right now.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kelly! Come on! I just spouted about how noble you were in not checking out that workout chick! Well, at least the boys (and Lisa) could keep their eyes up.<br />
<br />
But what is it that Kelly just had to check out? It couldn't have been this, could it?<br />

Yeah. That's probably it. Two questions spring to mind. 1) Why is this okay to show in a children's program? 2) How did we go from Lisa's aerobics outfit (seen <a href="http://epicsavedbythebell.blogspot.com/2013/10/0212-mommas-and-pappas.html" target="_blank">here</a>) to this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have never exercised in a thong but I can't imagine that it would be comfortable. Not in the slightest.<br />
<br />
So who is this lady that tantalizes females with her bawdry workout ensemble?<br />

This is Barbra Brighton - playing Leslie - and she did practically nothing else beyond SBTB. A stint on the "Harry and the Hendersons" television show (it was a television show?) and "They Came from Outer Space," mixed with one movie appearance - "The Forbidden Dance" - and her career was over. She was about as legit an actor as Zack was as the Aerobics Club President. Boo yah!<br />

This is George McDaniel, Jessie's onscreen father. He is older, yet is going to marry that younger lady. Good for him. He's had a hand in plenty of productions: "Three's Company," "Knighrider," "This is Spinal Tap," "The A-Team," and other such notable old shows. Work has been a bit more scarce in recent years, though he did have three appearances on three different "Law and Order" shows. Kudos!<br />

Besides James, we had a Mrs. Helen Billingham as a guest on the show.<br />

Susan Osborne plays this austere woman, and it is the only role she seems to have ever landed. She did, however, produce some documentaries from inside different factions: the State Department (movie), the Detroit Gang Squad (TV), and polygamy in Bountiful, Utah (TV). Hooray, lady.<br />
<br />
But what is she looking at so intently? It must be S.A.T.s, since that is what this episode was about. Check out Kelly's bubble sheet.<br />

The picture is grainy, but you can see by my superimposed graphic that Kelly had only filled in three answers. This makes sense, as her character admits as much. Take note of the page, though. You see all that space up top for personal information? Now check out Lisa's answer sheet from this exact moment in the test:<br />

Uh, that's the back of the sheet. And Lisa already has an entire row filled in. We have a few options here: 1) Lisa is a genius, 2) Lisa is guessing so she can go shopping sooner, 3) Kelly is a dumb, dumb brick. I refuse to believe that sweet Kelly Kapowski could be dumb as a brick, so the answer must be one of the first two options...<br />

That's better. This is Christine Taylor, the gal who plays Heather Brooks. (I'm bummed that no other still could do her justice.) Do I even need to explain who she is? Alright. She has been in "Dodgeball," "Arrested Development," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and "Seinfeld." She is married to Ben Stiller, which gets a big demerit in my book. Regardless, she is nice to look at.<br />
<br />
Let's get back to James. The scene with him in Mr. Belding's office is a huge curiosity. His beard is clearly falling off; why didn't they just redo the scene?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can see from the yellow line, his beard was super loose. So much so, that it falls off in front of Zack. This causes Zack to break character.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWflimP6F_WCdX7YMgcaWyZsNzwS7jmjqBKEBHiJ3sx19-saijTqKrH0WNlMXyy_r38En2JnPFEXKYR2WJDqYuMTID8gNRN4ivs7DeXAQYWI6JapPkE_ChjeFoT9CkLHCqIU6CBpQu32lX/s1600/breakenstein.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWflimP6F_WCdX7YMgcaWyZsNzwS7jmjqBKEBHiJ3sx19-saijTqKrH0WNlMXyy_r38En2JnPFEXKYR2WJDqYuMTID8gNRN4ivs7DeXAQYWI6JapPkE_ChjeFoT9CkLHCqIU6CBpQu32lX/s1600/breakenstein.jpg" height="306" width="400" /></a></div>
And Zack breaks hard. He goes from a super serious student to an obviously tickled student, which would have been incredibly out of character in the moment. So why not reshoot the scene? Well, the producers must have looked at this and deemed it far too funny to cut. Despite Zack's breaking, it actually adds to the absurdity of James's beard. I agree with the inclusion, even if it "taints" the "pristine image" of SBTB.<br />

This time we "missed" Jesse. Did we though? The cast certainly didn't. They don't even mention purchasing a U2 ticket for her.<br />
<br />
The episode is pretty light on content, but I'll give you what I can.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It technically shouldn't count, but it has been so long since I have seen a boom in a shot that I had to include this one, even though it is absolutely supposed to be in the shot. So, boom? Sure.<br />
<br />
Now let's look at some character breaks and call it a day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once again, Screech is the one breaking. The window was literally just shut in his face, yet he can't help hamming it up before getting a look of shock on his face.<br />
<br />
Next:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one is almost understandable. The group has just engaged in a pretty comical fight - but it was still a fight! Slater and Lisa make eye contact and then have to make that stupid teeth-in-chin face to pull themselves together. At least Screech could keep a straight face.<br />

Edit: I just found something else out concerning this episode. Remember the sports store salesman? Remember how terrible his acting was when he recognized that it was time to close? Well, it seems as if this actor - Tony Sabin Prince - got into doing puppeteering. He was Fran Dinosaur.<br />

This girl Wendy Parks, who thought she would have a great time with Zack since he always made her laugh, is played by Judy Carmen. Ms. Carmen does little else with Hollywood. She has one role on "Married...With Children" and gets shot in the head in the movie "Cyber Bandits." Who knows what she is doing with her life now. Hopefully something fulfilling.<br />
<br />
Just real quick, let's talk about those new cheerleader uniforms. The school needs $600? Where have we heard that figure before, besides the <u>very last episode</u>? As you'll recall, Slater and Zack needed $600 to fix Mr. Belding's car and they very quickly raised the money by doing a raffle. In this episode, the school suddenly needs another $600 and a quick way to earn it. Raffle, anyone? Nope. Let's pimp out the boys of Bayside.<br />
<br />
What is the beef here? Well, the old uniforms certainly needed to be updated.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But I'm sure the reveal would have been more effective had we not already seen the new uniforms in the episode "Check Your Mate."<br />

But why gripe? I mean, this is pretty par for the course. We've seen Season 1 episodes air in Season 2, and Season 3 has been a nightmare with school episodes intermixed with summer episodes. Clearly "Date Auction" should have aired before "Check Your Mate," but the producers probably didn't want the current episode to air so closely to Zack and Kelly's "big" break up. So, we are stuck with an odd continuity error.<br />
<br />
Speaking of errors, how about that tool Brian Watkins?<br />

Seriously, what a tool! Brian is played admirably by Patrick J. Dancy. How do I know the role is admirably played? Because I've seen his other job. Just prior to this appearance, Ol' Patrick was a part of another NBC show that aired on Saturdays. You may have heard of it: "Guys Next Door." What? You are like me and have never heard of this show? Well, here's a video:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the intro to the show, which consisted of skits and videos, much like this one:<br />

As you can see, Patrick has played a prancing boy band member. This is how I know that he acted admirably in our SBTB episode. Sure, he had other acting credits, but really, what is going to compare to "Guys Next Door?" Nothing. We move on.<br />

No Kelly? How can any teenage boy enjoy this episode with no Kelly? By Jesse accentuating her cleavage? I guess that works. (It really doesn't.)<br />
<br />
Let's forget that Kelly was missing and turn to more important things: Eric getting punched. I have heard chatter that people are upset that Jesse seems to punch Eric in the left eye, yet it is his right eye that turns black.<br />

I find this to be a very dumb thing to focus on. The scene goes so fast that she really could have punched his right eye instead of the "naturally closer" left. Haters gon' hate, I guess. (Honestly, had she punched him in the right eye with her right fist then he would have still fallen that way, nerds.)<br />

Mr. Sonski is played by comedian Monty Hoffman. (No relation to Joshua Hoffman, the kid playing Eric.) He had been around the comedy scene for a long time doing standup. ("Had" because he died in 2013.) He was respected enough to be invited by Judd Apatow to sit in on the scene in "Funny People" where Adam Sandler's character is talking comedy shop with other comedians. This relationship with Sandler is probably how Monty ended up in the Sandler-produced "Bucky Larson." Sad. He seems like he was a decent enough guy, though I will have to go Youtube some of his routines.<br />
<br />
Now let's enter the Troll Zone.<br />

It seems like Molly has taken up permanent employ at the Max. My guess is that the Troll segment will often be littered with that red shirt. It's too bad, it was fun trying to find her around school (though that still happens from time to time).<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that we are in the Troll Zone, allow me to troll on the algebra teacher.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJjq0vsWdaQjD7h_NnJf9UfAd2MnT2zPUvMMqfGZkNayLIQUr2_h9m_ukNYN3aw1wqIAAedJEWyP0jd9WeVdJFrxy0JraK_Eei5RBZZjRr4PXE8h7024FQKBu7XN1_63TOsMh9btgtJpAM/s1600/mathishard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJjq0vsWdaQjD7h_NnJf9UfAd2MnT2zPUvMMqfGZkNayLIQUr2_h9m_ukNYN3aw1wqIAAedJEWyP0jd9WeVdJFrxy0JraK_Eei5RBZZjRr4PXE8h7024FQKBu7XN1_63TOsMh9btgtJpAM/s1600/mathishard.jpg" height="206" width="400" /></a></div>
What in the world is that problem?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Since when does 1,969/1,372 = 8,496? </li>
<ul>
<li>It equals 1.4351311.</li>
</ul>
<li>What is that second equation? A = 84,961,372/1969? </li>
<ul>
<li>That would make A = 43,149.503, not the 59,472 written on the board.</li>
</ul>
<li>Maybe the equation supposed to be A * (1,969/1,372) = 8,496 and the lower equation uses basic high school algebra, in which both sides are multiplied by 1,372 and then divided by 1,969 to isolate A on the left. </li>
<ul>
<li>The problem should then read A = (8,496 * 1,372)/1,969, which would equal 5,920.016.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>
If you didn't follow any of that - I don't blame you - just note that I have given this math teacher as much benefit as possible yet could not figure out how any of what is written on the board as being math. It is all wrong.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
More trolling. Mr. Belding is super excited to listen to some CDs on his newly installed car stereo. One album he admits to Zack and Slater: Bo Jackson Sings the Blues. Why is this funny? Because Bo knows everything.</div>

I know that it isn't (it wouldn't be released until the next year) but trolling doesn't have to make sense. I'd like to think that Mr. Belding would be excited to listen to the Indigo Girls.</div>

I guess that's enough for now. Trolling is over.</div>

She didn't even wait to make us look for her. Opening credits - Molly the Troll. Well, now that that's out of the way I guess we can proceed.<br />

I ask because I swear that I've seen him before. This is Joshua Hoffman and he plays the terrible Eric Tramer. I have scoured the interwebs for any information on him outside of his scant early-90s appearances but I cannot find anything that would make me go: "Bingo! That's how I know him!" Nothing. I'm beginning to think that I only know Joshua Hoffman from this story in this one show. Maybe. But doesn't he seem like an underbitten, sleazy Mark Ruffalo?<br />

This guy is another in-and-out of Hollywood jobber and I am not going to go into detail about how dull his career has been. I will note, however, that he seems to be a legitimate Jewish man, as he has taught Yiddish to actors on sets of movies. Cool.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the Jews, how exploitative is Zack in this episode? He uses a sacred Jewish holiday to skip school and selfishly attend a baseball game. He also hawks a special symbol of that noble people and uses it as a joke, substituting the Menorah for the "idea lightbulb."<br />

For being a minority - remember, Zack is part Native American - he sure is insensitive.<br />

Finally: Hey Dustin Diamond! Shut up!<br />

Look at Screech playing it off like it ain't no thang. It should totally be a thang.<br />

Normally I like to highlight when Screech gets some preferential onscreen treatment from the ladies. So, while this looks like it fits the mold -<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

- it isn't why the feature is showing up. No no no, the reason Dustin Diamond needs to shut up is because he has kissed, been kissed, or rubbed up on so many good looking ladies by this point in the series that what happens to Slater is downright unjust.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For all the hate Screech feels like he gets from his SBTB cohorts, he definitely schmoozed more quality ladies than the rest of the cast. So hey! Shut up, Dustin Diamond.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure about everyone else, but I was enjoying the Malibu Sands episodes. The previous five were a nice, fresh take on the crew and their relationships (which actually seemed to hardly exist). That all changed within the first few minutes of this episode. I don't know why, but the magic of this location is dead to me. I'm glad this little arc is over.<br />
<br />
Maybe it is the gimmicks. Gimmicks like - "Oh, the Carosis are mad at each other and we'll trick them into showing up for a picture and then making really lame excuses to leave the stage so that it's just the two of them left so they make up."<br />

Gimmicks like - "We made a sand castle, just try not to notice it bouncing around behind Screech because it is absolutely fake."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6gJCRoGFe5poivCIQpBT4liiUQCzKD3fj4LDGJaPhKO1-I2Ba1f1b9hvPY2rCWgIrGU9n3VXp9USt6z_jwVyTiAjKexEa9bffo_nR8bs2T1GMWIOMWvqwG5LpriLrWyzR_SIjbHPgs_J4/s1600/absolutelymoving.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6gJCRoGFe5poivCIQpBT4liiUQCzKD3fj4LDGJaPhKO1-I2Ba1f1b9hvPY2rCWgIrGU9n3VXp9USt6z_jwVyTiAjKexEa9bffo_nR8bs2T1GMWIOMWvqwG5LpriLrWyzR_SIjbHPgs_J4/s1600/absolutelymoving.jpg" height="330" width="400" /></a></div>
And if the perfect form of the castle didn't alert to its fakeness, maybe the lowered door made out of magic sand proved it.<br />

Guests last. It seems that while I didn't like this episode it still packed in some star power. First off, Jordan Christopher Michael.<br />

Do you know this kid? This is Billy. He hits on chicks and gets them to touch his knee. He is eleven. He also had a role on "Full House." (Remember Rusty? That precocious little prankster and Stephanie-kisser?) Hollywood was done with him at an early age. No worries, he now does freelance photography around L.A. and his stuff looks really cool. You can check out his Instagram handle <a href="http://instagram.com/someonesleeping" target="_blank">@someonesleeping</a>. Very worthwhile.<br />

</tbody></table>
This is Denise Richards, who has the looks to be asked to stage the worst drowning ever. She did it marvelously as the character Cynthia, who is supposedly going to attend Bayside. That never happens. (Maybe this Hollywood slight is the reason she made the 'best' decision of her life and marry Charlie Sheen...) There isn't much to know about Denise Richards outside of "Wild Things" (guys will know what that means), "Undercover Brother" (white guys who think they understand black culture enough to laugh at a movie about why white guys should not laugh at black culture will know what this means), and "Seinfeld," where her cleavage prevents Jerry and George's show to get picked up by NBC.<br />
<br />
All that paragraph and Denise Richards wasn't even credited. Nice.<br />
<br />
Feel free to share what stood out to you in the comments below.<br />
<br />
<u>Edit</u>: Here are some further, lesser-known Denise Richards appearances.<br />
<br />
1) In 1991, Denise appeared in a "Doogie Houser, M.D." episode called "Doogstruck." She plays a terrible date named Alissa who hits on the waiter instead of Doogie.<br />

Boo yah! Molly the Troll. Two on-campus episodes in a row. This makes me very happy.<br />

Do you recognize this man? Maybe not, but he is a regular showman. This is Hiram Kasten. He's been around. Not only has he been on some of the funniest shows on television (do I need to say more beyond "Seinfeld?"), but he has also had Vegas shows, most notably the "The Rat Pack is Back." His comedy act has opened for Jerry Seinfeld. He also tutors on showmanship. Nice.<br />
<br />
How about the other guest star? Can he live up to the hype of Mr. Kasten? Maybe.<br />

</tbody></table>
This is Gary Lahti, the man who played Dan Grayson, the oil man. His resume seems less impressive, but only because it is pretty short. Mr. Lahti made some uncredited appearances on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" in the early days, which gave him exposure to then-writer Louis C.K. This exposure earned Mr. Lahti a spot in Louis C.K.'s indie movie "Tomorrow Night."<br />
<br />
Speaking of comedians, did anyone get a 90s movie ping when they heard Screech claim to be an H2O Distribution Engineer? Yeah, Adam Sandler claimed this title as a team's waterboy in "The Waterboy" (though I think he just claimed to be a Water Distribution Engineer). Ah, SBTB continues to influence pop culture.<br />
<br />
One thing I do want to note/applaud is the stronger - albeit cheesier - writing of this episode. Normally we get a pretty straight forward problem and Zack-genius solution. For this episode, however, things are strung out a bit. First, Zack makes a connection with a duck when he takes it home for the weekend. Then, the school finds oil. Then it all comes back to the duck getting hurt by something Zack was totally supporting. It's not until then that Zack is able to hatch a plan and save the school/ducks. Kudos, writers. But let's not be so sober next time. I don't watch SBTB for morality lessons!<br />
<br />
To end, let's examine the final scene's high five. You have seen this numerous times in the show's opening. The one thing that has always stood out to me is the person who misses. For the life of me, I could never tell if the hand was Kelly's (perish the thought!) or Screech (serves him right?). Having finally reached this episode, I thought we could take a moment to analyze the high five and come to a determination as to who missed. Here is the scene:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Oi7nI-hzRdhCPdVyB-g1v9pqhJ5aoXgrsoWltLf2q5ftK-IfWB4cXueMd7FwornjaDioFUZeUub6ZppihXyNfMd1DDtCKlcOHzQWWB4KoDADQOKOb_GC1-vHpvDmYCoedTfivwrfD8It/s1600/highfive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Oi7nI-hzRdhCPdVyB-g1v9pqhJ5aoXgrsoWltLf2q5ftK-IfWB4cXueMd7FwornjaDioFUZeUub6ZppihXyNfMd1DDtCKlcOHzQWWB4KoDADQOKOb_GC1-vHpvDmYCoedTfivwrfD8It/s1600/highfive.jpg" height="311" width="400" /></a></div>
Let's take a look at the pre-five:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUB3BBwdMstSQSnRGh_YJq9KofRZmN09DJN3I-NMDVd1_W17lsvkl-UJ_SWO0so67qdhP6MAz7bdNmWf_3IiuRpFUEMCoHu4GXat8KyeKu3zAEysaNiw9TdoZ7DzrMx084rtGtXWhwdwlt/s1600/before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUB3BBwdMstSQSnRGh_YJq9KofRZmN09DJN3I-NMDVd1_W17lsvkl-UJ_SWO0so67qdhP6MAz7bdNmWf_3IiuRpFUEMCoHu4GXat8KyeKu3zAEysaNiw9TdoZ7DzrMx084rtGtXWhwdwlt/s1600/before.jpg" height="277" width="400" /></a></div>
Note that Screech is wearing something on his wrist while Kelly's is bare. Now the high five in action:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBI_rY95Xk07E44t-qBHhSh9xwE3v5isbnKUvk6fr5a2AkEdVT-_UWJfxCO0qfYEvZ5cHRs0kqBVeV3RWPh2i-Y94JimIHDRw1EWIzCQYVxBEtrdFGVedMaxDTt6K5j96OA2ULL7EFHhT4/s1600/after.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBI_rY95Xk07E44t-qBHhSh9xwE3v5isbnKUvk6fr5a2AkEdVT-_UWJfxCO0qfYEvZ5cHRs0kqBVeV3RWPh2i-Y94JimIHDRw1EWIzCQYVxBEtrdFGVedMaxDTt6K5j96OA2ULL7EFHhT4/s1600/after.jpg" height="400" width="296" /></a></div>
Is it just me, or does the goofy hand have something on its wrist? Furthermore, if it were Kelly's hand that shot too low then why is she looking up as if her hand were sky high? I think it is safe to say that Screech is the one that misses the high five. This almost makes me feel bad for picking on him in all my other blogs. But not really. If it is any consolation to Screech, it seems that Kelly's hand has also missed, as it isn't actually fiving anything but just sticking out the back. Her's just made it close enough for us not to make a big deal out of it.<br />

Check it out on Spotify (under her name) or <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/larkvoorhies" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

That is really what was in her heart that she just had to share with the world? Amazing.<br />
<br />
Back to the issue at hand. As in, this episode.<br />
<br />
Why oh why did Mr. Fletcher get a credit for this episode? Well, I guess it's because he had plenty of Hollywood work before this episode appearance. After? Not so much.<br />

John Welsh plays the do-anything-for-daughter father Mr. Fletcher. You may recognize him as the sometimes recurring white guy "Big Earl" Barnett from "What's Happening!!" Or the smattering of other things he'd done before this episode seemingly killed his career. But that's all I got.<br />

We are supposed to believe that Screech (and everyone else in class, for that matter) can develop pictures in the light? I don't think so.<br />

Zack's mom is played by Melody Rogers. She had a small load of Hollywood work but mostly made her name as a broadcaster, earning some Los Angeles Emmys for a show she hosted called "2 on the Town." She and her husband, Pat Kelly (another broadcaster), have recently written a book that chronicles Pat's struggles with dealing with MS. The book is called "And There Will Always Be Termites." She is currently a real estate agent.<br />

I assume that she was recognized by savvy media watchers when the episode initially aired, but I don't recognize her at all. She later went on to act in every episode of "A.J.'s Time Travellers," a Saturday morning show on UPN that I never saw. (Remember UPN?) Then, between other acting jobs, she did something that I love: She acted on the same show as a different character. On the terrible "V.I.P.," she had a role as Carmen and then two years later as a character named Mona. But give her credit, she also stepped behind the camera to direct "The Legend of Cryin' Ryan." Right...<br />
<br />
Our last dame:<br />

Is that...? Could it be...? It is! Troll! Molly the Troll has made a triumphant return! It has been so long since we've seen her. Maybe even the whole season. Welcome back, dear.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I'm sure Zack was going for the arms, but he missed. Badly.<br />

<u>Edit</u>: As with other attractive ladies, I'll use this space to show off other appearances.<br />
<br />
1) In 1989, Julie costarred with another SBTB alum in an episode of "Freddy's Nightmares" called "Do You Know Where Your Kids Are?" (That other alum is Suzanne Tara. Her write-up is <a href="http://epicsavedbythebell.blogspot.com/2013/09/0111-stevie.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) Julie's role is that of the best friend named Heidi who mainly just makes out with her boyfriend. She ultimately dies of a scissor wound and her body is dragged down a flight of stairs by a crazy girl.<br />

It was an ATV model made by Kawasaki in 1990. This is an instance in which product placement didn't hit the viewer over the head.<br />
<br />
I normally like to harp on the poor production quality of Saved by the Bell, but these Malibu Sands episodes are pretty well done. The writing is fun and there are no booms in the shots. (Yet.) So, I'll tell you about Craig Strand and we'll call it a day.<br />
<br />
Craig Strand! Wow.<br />

Craig Strand is played by Benjamin King. Homeboy is the perennial eastern citizen: Rich in Boston and a frat boy at Yale. Tall. Good looking. Stuck up. (Yup, that's how we westerners look at you loafer-wearing easterners.) Benjamin King has a laundry list of appearances in shows and movies, but his most notable(?) gig - at least his longest television job - has come recently on "Liv and Maddie," a Disney show about twin girls, one a pop star and the other a jock. So good job, Benjamin King. You could be the next Miley Cyrus, <i>sans</i> wrecking ball.<br />

So, guess where this brilliant idea originated...<br />

That's right, Lisa and Kelly were inappropriately used cheerleaders before Will Ferrel and Cheri Oteri began their Spartan Spirits routine. Granted, the SNL version was far funnier with better cheers, but the SBTB girls had midriffs. So... no contest.<br />
<br />
This episode focussed on chess. Too much so, in that it forgot that guys like me would be too focussed on other aspects, like this little continuity conundrum:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGQczHMPYdyTPkKPxmZLt_EbEOuQup8YFKMIJN9p71Ru8gRD3QNpVqv_KfRRWMfnTWkcte-qOEWZ-PCf0IwnSAQZoUl35bngKqnZ3b6gP2Ne-cv45LgHC-PFHWAHTf6us4h1VSN3jGqYWC/s1600/chess.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGQczHMPYdyTPkKPxmZLt_EbEOuQup8YFKMIJN9p71Ru8gRD3QNpVqv_KfRRWMfnTWkcte-qOEWZ-PCf0IwnSAQZoUl35bngKqnZ3b6gP2Ne-cv45LgHC-PFHWAHTf6us4h1VSN3jGqYWC/s1600/chess.jpg" height="271" width="400" /></a></div>
As we look down upon the chess match we see that pieces have been won by both Screech and Peter the Russian. Screech has four and the Peter has three.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-60lGSNWcyG-pwxblTJFXvKa52HBjbiw6V36CpkuBtuYDXeBGE2oauFjJ-BSRigdGg3crx_C-fQnJPZHkMX3b0tljU-5rrJTP6NoYJu5tgOLXrKegbAN4zISOomln8OszgKL9U4jPiJtG/s1600/chess1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-60lGSNWcyG-pwxblTJFXvKa52HBjbiw6V36CpkuBtuYDXeBGE2oauFjJ-BSRigdGg3crx_C-fQnJPZHkMX3b0tljU-5rrJTP6NoYJu5tgOLXrKegbAN4zISOomln8OszgKL9U4jPiJtG/s1600/chess1.jpg" height="235" width="400" /></a></div>
As Screech wins, there are no more pieces to the side. I don't know where they could have gone. Maybe the producers know.<br />
<br />
Something else the producers may know is how the nerds of Bayside are so prepared. Peter Breschnev asks for his pants. Zack looks down and sees that he is still wearing Peter's pants. "No problem," we pretend an off-camera nerd says.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMZlS6ao0CYwgrH9k2kGvvjtBVj73iYrXZQrKmsA9lakF8UJCte3t2BAeLT6Yzd0uMl_AIajUPqLrtPzpVnszQ_pgr9YalMBo9aANrsyMVeOruc4K4vrh8Ec40E3mOKboVwpPSVKGT99c/s1600/pants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMZlS6ao0CYwgrH9k2kGvvjtBVj73iYrXZQrKmsA9lakF8UJCte3t2BAeLT6Yzd0uMl_AIajUPqLrtPzpVnszQ_pgr9YalMBo9aANrsyMVeOruc4K4vrh8Ec40E3mOKboVwpPSVKGT99c/s1600/pants.jpg" height="256" width="400" /></a></div>
"Here are some pants." Problem solved! Peter wears the mystery pants and then loses.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Peter Breschnev, the actor isn't credited for the episode. So, while I don't technically have to give any information about him, I will say that he pops up as Travis in "Saved by the Bell: The New Class" in the "Wanna Bet?" episode. Maybe he'll get covered there...<br />
<br />
Who does get the credit? Why, that would be Miss Hilary Hayes, the actress who plays Allison Fox.<br />

</tbody></table>
Why is she standing like that? Well, for all the charm she brought to the show, the only other notable acting she got was as Ruby in "Star Trek: First Contact." Other than that, she is a complete Hollywood wash.<br />
<br />
Now, I have some of my favorite segments. This next one is not one of them. I hate character breaks, but Season Three seems to be rife with them. And is it any wonder that they usually involve Screech?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Screech, you just got hit with a lady's bathroom door. Stop stifling that smile and act like you just got hit by a lady's bathroom door.<br />
<br />
Also:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Screech turns away from the camera just as he breaks into a big grin. Zack, however, can't turn away from the camera to hide his goofy grin because his character is supposed to avoid Mr. Belding. What we get is an awkward face, like Zack has just conquered a bout of explosive diarrhea, but a little bit still slipped out.<br />
<br />
And now (hooray!) we move on to one of my favorite segments: Shut up, Dustin Diamond!<br />

All-in-all, this was a good episode for Lisa. These Malibu Sands episodes have really seemed to let her character breathe a little more.<br />
<br />
Stacey Carosi is obviously becoming a bigger character in these episodes, so let's finally take a look at the person playing her.<br />

</tbody></table>
Stacey is played by Leah Remini. She has always seemed to have work, but never in something all that great. She has had recurring roles in many series throughout her career, but the only one that seemed to last was on "The King of Queens." She played the hot wife of a fat guy. Yup, that's where you've seen her. As of now (2014), she is in "The Exes."<br />
<br />
As to the other guest star on this episode, Jacquelyn Hyde plays Madonna Schwartzkauf. Uh, she does? Despite being credited in the credits, there is no Madonna named in this episode. There is no prominently shown old woman in the episode (because Jacquelyn Hyde would have been old in order to be in this episode). I wonder if she had a scene that got cut at the last minute. Oh well.<br />
<br />
And now for the triumphant return of my favorite segment:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2RQ3qDlhcpqycGe5lxZuyp22oRsd-4gwwV3VJyN28TleKpk3__iC3RROiP_PWlQwvSvmPJls000XbfzM_WuX1g08l7vboX140lG8pxC73Xi3nveVgOxmgSwLZLcPcrPg2hZb0hQpYIVP/s1600/gettheball.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2RQ3qDlhcpqycGe5lxZuyp22oRsd-4gwwV3VJyN28TleKpk3__iC3RROiP_PWlQwvSvmPJls000XbfzM_WuX1g08l7vboX140lG8pxC73Xi3nveVgOxmgSwLZLcPcrPg2hZb0hQpYIVP/s1600/gettheball.jpg" height="357" width="400" /></a></div>
This was obviously a terrible blow to the Bayside Tigers basketball team. Zack tears some cartilage in his knee and needs surgery. Mr. Belding causes this mishap. Chaos reigns. But there is more to this scene than just this horrible accident. Do you recall Slater holding a basketball? Of course you do; you watch the show and soak in every detail. So then you will recall that he tosses the ball to the side before heading out for layup drills. (An odd decision, as the team needs a ball to do the drill.) Despite the importance of this scene, the extra on the far left of the frame decides to go after that loose ball. I don't know if he thought it would add to the scene by recovering the ball or if he just wanted something to do since he wasn't getting paid a ton for this non-speaking part. Knowing of the import of the scene, however, he should have ignored that ball to be more readily at his captain's side when the knee gave out. For shame, Extra. For shame.<br />
<br />
More shame? How about Zack being unable to keep a straight face while Screech dangles a frog leg in his face?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Don't you smile, Zack! You are in incredible pain.<br />
<br />
And who will help him fight this pain? Why, Dr. Turtle, of course.<br />

Lisa's mom, a.k.a. the best surgeon in L.A., is played by Susan Beaubian. Not only does she do a great job on Zack's knee, but she dispenses motherly advice to her daughter like a true champion. The only thing I want to say about Ms. Beaubian is that of her 28 acting credits on IMDB, 11 are medically related. She plays doctors and nurses 39% of the time. Saved by the Bell was her first.<br />
<br />
And now for the most inappropriately hilarious moment of the show:<br />

A woman grabs fake-doctor Zack and proclaims: "Heal me with your kisses!" After which he is dragged into a room and made out upon. This was terrible and funny all rolled into one.<br />

Dark Sevier? What does that mean?<br />

That would be this guy. This guy with the tragically short pants and even more tragically short shirt. Granted, he is 6'10" and won't fit in most uniforms when hired so brashly. The tallness, however, is no excuse for the hair.<br />
<br />
Dark Sevier tried to be an actor. Tried. You may have noticed from this episode that his performance is a little wooden. You may not have to teach seven feet in the game of basketball, but six-ten still needs acting lessons. Hollywood didn't need this guy and he didn't end up doing anything else of note.<br />
<br />
So, what has a man named Dark done since this episode? Well, he emceed in Hawaii at the rRed Elephant in 2006 for a string of shows featuring comedy, drama, and weirdness (their words). Also, it looks like he is trying to be a photographer and filmographer. Yet, check out this insanely boring <a href="http://vimeo.com/38179557" target="_blank">video</a> and judge for yourself if things are working out for him. It's said he shoots from the hip so as to get more in-the-moment type shots; to catch people when they are least expecting it. Right, he's just adjusting so as to shoot on a more normal level. Good luck, Dark. May your career be better than the other guy with a similar name - Darko Milicic. That shouldn't be too hard.<br />

Hello, Leon Carosi, you short, fat, convincing actor guy.<br />
<br />
Ernie Sabella: You know this guy. You probably saw him in the last Malibu Sands episode and tried to place him. He's been in a ton of stuff, but you should mainly know him for two reasons. First, he is the voice of Pumbaa from "The Lion King." He and Nathan Lane team up to make one of the greatest comedic tandems in movie history. Second:<br />

He is the naked guy on the subway on "Seinfeld." You cannot unsee this.<br />
<br />
I'll tackle Stacey Carosi during the next Malibu Sands episode so that I don't overload you with person after person since there have been fewer production gaffs as the series matures.<br />
<br />
Then again, how do you explain this?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Standing that close to the net, Tad should not have been beaned and defaced in such a way. Not unless Zack has such wicked spin on his serves. I don't think he does. Sorry Tad. You got served? (Nope, I couldn't commit to that slight.)<br />

Right? Why did they do this? As far as I can tell, two episodes aired on the same day. The first of the set was the regular school setting where all the Zack and Kelly drama unfolds. The second episode seems to be a summer experience shared by the gang. These episodes switch off for the first half of this third season, so every other episode will be a Malibu Sands one. Confusing? Indeed. But so is the rest of the Saved by the Bell chronology.<br />
<br />
As for this episode, the only curiosity I found was the guy behind Screech at the Max. Either he is taking four consecutive bites of his burger or he is totally making out with that thing. You decide?<br />

Due to the tenderness with which he holds that burger, my vote is for a burger make out.<br />

Something doesn't make sense here.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>We just went through the tragic break up between Zack and Kelly in the season premier and were told that the story would continue, but then we get this episode next? Saved by the Bell obviously had episode-order issues, but this was the start of the Malibu Sands arc (which comes later) so why did it show here?</li>
<li>Now that I think about it, wasn't Zack and Kelly's magic relationship very, very short lived? If you take away the Season 1 episodes that were sprinkled in with the Season 2's when Zack and Kelly were an item then you have maybe four episodes in which they act like they are a couple. That really takes away from the magnitude of this break up.</li>
</ol>
<div>
We are just going to have to deal with this super odd chronology. Chalk it up to another snafu, like moving the cast from Indianapolis to SoCal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, I'm going to save the Malibu Sands cast for the arc. But, while I've got you here, allow me to take you back to this moment in the episode:</div>

<div>
If you will recall, Zack has just reamed Stacey for being a robot. If you listen closely, you hear somebody remark "busted" from the audience. I really hope this voice is canned so that it can show up later. I'm tagging it just in case.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, I'm going to watch the next episode so I can finally see what happens with that stupid Jeff.</div>
