Jessie's Song

It is only right to start from the top. One of the most loved and mocked of episodes, Jessie's Song, is Saved by the Bell at its most "very special". The episode, which premiered November 3, 1990, focuses on Jessie Spano, our favorite Mama, and the mounting pressure she is undergoing from school, specifically geometry, because everyone knows women suck at math.

Adding to her inevitable breakdown Zack insists she sing in his, no doubt Grammy Award winning, all girl group Hot Sundae alongside Kelly and Lisa. I personally liked the Zit Hit machine, but that's another story. They shoot a music video and sing in the locker room and then their big break, a gig at the Max.

In order for Jessie to keep up with it all of her responsibilities she turns to drugs, of the over the counter variety (gasp). She of course becomes hooked as well as SOOO EXCITED, SOO EXCITED, SO SCARED.

BEST QUOTE:
Mr. Dewey: (Announcing Grades) Kelly B+, Lisa B+, Jessie C.

Jessie: C? C?!

Mr Dewey: Si, senorita, but this is geometry, not Spanish.

MR. NITPICK:
In this episode Kelly has a great singing voice, but in the Miss Bayside Pageant she
sang Bluebird and her voice was terrible.

I LOVE THE 90S:
Kelly: Who are you?

Screech: (Dressed as a cleaning lady) Oh, I'm, uh, I'm- Sinead O'Connor!

Kelly: That's a very famous name. You have a hit song in the charts, you know...?

Screech: Oh, uh, that's the other O'Connor. She's my niece. She learned from me.

Lisa: You taught her everything she knows!?

Screech: Oh, that I did. Now she can clean toilets with the best of 'em.

Ahh who doesn't love the Pope!?

WHAT THE F*** MOMENT:
For one thing Jessie get hooked on the junk in like four days which is a totally believable amount of time and this results in psycotic, violently aggressive behavior. Thank the stars she gets counseling at the end...nut.
