Favorite Saved By The Bell episode

The poll can only include 10 choices, but I think I've listed some of the most popular ones. If not one of these 10, which is your favorite and why?

My favorites would have to be Cut Day and S.A.T.'s, with All in the Mall and The Gift not too far behind.

However, I think that The Fight (when Zack and Slater get in a fight over the new girl) might be the funniest episode, and perhaps the funniest TV ever. I just saw it yesterday for the firt time in a while. Naturally, it's funny when it's supposed to be serious (but also funny when it's supposed to be funny), which just makes it even more ridiculous and funny.

Here is a complete Episode List:

I voted for Cut Day. The Fight would have been my 2nd choice.

NO NO NO NO

The best episode ever is the Zack Attack two-part episode.

Pure genius. Pure unintentional comedy. Saturday-morning brilliance at its finest.

I've always been partial to Jessie's caffeine pill addiction episode myself.

I liked the one where Jessie pushed that girl down the stairs so she could get the lead in the dance review.

The one where Screech and Zack fight. "Meet me by the willow tree..."

Also the episode where Screech tutors Kelly in Chemistry and they become an item. That's the one where Screech had the insect rodeo, and Kelly wanted to see George Michael.

God damn this show rules!

He gives Zach the crappy team, because Zach gives Slater the crappy team and the military guy tells Zach that he did not say which team he could actually choose!

C'mon.

I chose Jessie's Song for obvious reasons.

My second favorite is when Kelly cheats on Zach and they break up at the prom. Tears in the eyes.

I don't know what's the saddest: That I have a favorite episode, that it's actually on this poll, or that it's winning.

I like Jessie's Song, despite the unbelievable cheese factor.

My favorite's not on the poll. It's the episode where Screech plays chess against the Russian guy. It just shocks me and cracks me up how blatantly prejudice they sound in it.

Oh seriously, this is the most difficult question I've ever been faced with in my life.

Ok, let's open with Artie the Lizard. Slater in the Lizard costume was just too f'n much man. Put her on ice!!

Next, let's run down the evil brother of Belding. Ditch the class and take the flight attendant! Smartest decision that guy ever made. "We got the better Belding." Seriously, shut up Zack.

Then there was the two part tour-de-force with Jessie's wacky brother from New York. How can you just take somebody's room? Do these kids even have parents? Plus, this episode has to go down as a classic because if Lisa was a real person she would've commited suicide by now after realizing that Zack pimped her out for MC (HAHAHAHA) Hammer tickets.

There's one of two defining Screech episodes where he win the Bayside Beauty pagent. WITH a swimsuit contest? Seriously, isn't this like every teenage guy wet dream fantasy that we never ever get? The best part, in all seriousness was that song at the end. "Isn't sh--he charming? Isn't he a pearl? ... The first MISTER Miss Bayside."

The second Screech episode has to be the best school anthem. Home, home at our school! Now, the song on it's own would be enough for a grade A show, but the awesome part is when Zack and Screech have to go on campaign like it was a presidental election, gladhanding with the nerds, dweebs, and dorks. After it comes down to a live performance, American Idol style, Screech tears it up while Zack CHOKES to my eternal pleasure. But despite my protests to my TV screen, Tori et al steal Screech's victory and make up a whole different song. Jerks.

OK, I seriusly have to stop now, because if I don't I'll be doing this all night. Later.

Jessie: Slater, who do you think will come out on top today?
Slater: Call it a hunch, but I think Screech is gonna kick that commie's butt! (Applause)
Jessie: Slater, we're on the air, in this age of Glazunov, you don't say 'kick the commie's butt'!
Slater: Oh, sorry. What I meant was "kick that commie's heiny!" (Applause)



And the ones you mentioned, Triple S, are all awesome, but they all seem to be episodes I haven't seen in years and years. Gonna have to watch them again soon!

Another one great one is the one where they find oil at the football field and Zack takes a stand against the oil drilling. ("Don't worry about Becky, Zack. She's where the oil can't hurt her now.")

And the one with the Fake I.D.'s that they make so they can sneak into "The Attic."

Yeah - the club where they don't serve booze? What's the point of needing an ID anyway. I remember the hot chick on that one - very nice! I also remember the fat beast that kept chasing after Screech because she thought he was someone else.

What? No love for 'Dancing to the Maxx'??? Every kid in the country was doing The Sprain for years after that. Or 'The Will' ... we're bad; we knew it ... you cheated; you blew it. Tori's victory in the limbo was a huge step for women's rights.

I always liked the summer episodes where they worked at the beach resort for Leah Remini.

What about the one where they do the PSA against drugs, where the teen TV/movie star is actually a stoner...

Is that the one where Zack & Co. are Rockstars?

This, IMO, was one of the worst, if not the worst series ever on TV. Someone could blink and they would play the 'laugh tracks.'

My 12 year old daughter liked it though.
