Trivia
Originally, Zack and Slater were written as bitter rivals for Kelly's romantic affections. Off screen, Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar were (and continue to be) very close friends. The writers, sensing their obvious chemistry, had the characters re-written as best friends, and they remained that way for the rest of the show.

Obnoxious White Privilege

People who wonder why there is so much racism in America can stop at Saved by the Bell. A bunch of obnoxious white kids who get away with everything they do thanks to White Privilege has to be a red flag in the face of every minority that ever saw this show. Even the Hispanic character was basically a sellout to his people.

Another reason to hate this show is that it brought Skreech / Dustin Diamond to the public eye. Skreech was a walking poster child for free abortions.
