Save The Max!

KKTY - Bayside!

Today, the gang discovers that there's a radio station in the basement of Bayside High. They report their findings to Mr. Belding and beg him to let them start it up again. He refuses and tells them that he was responsible for the radio station being shut down in the first place over 30 years ago. See Zack and Mr. Belding actually have a lot in common, you see, it is all makin' sense!

After seconds of kissing Dick's ass, KKTY is back on the air and the only kids who get a chance to participate are, you guessed it, the gang. Each person gets their designated assignment, though some a little more substantial than others, we're looking at you Kelly Desire, WTF?

So Zack is the head bitch in charge, Lisa does gossip, Jessie the news, Kelly does whatever it is that she does, Screech tells scary stories and Slater, naturally, wants to do sports. Slater has the radio personality of a wet mop, but his friends don't know how to tell him that he stinks (scroll down for one fine suggestion in the BEST QUOTE section) and then it is too late. The newspaper reviews are in and they are not good, so Slater quits... like a pussy.

While all of this is happening, things at the Max are falling apart. Our favorite Magician/Waiter/Restaurant Connoisseur/ Max is going under and the only people who can help him are five high school kids with a dream. Until he tries to feed them his dog or something like that.

Needless to say the gang bands together and holds a radio-thon to save the Max. Things get off to a great start, but then quickly go to shit. When they have just about giving up, Salter returns and is able to band everyone together at the last minute with one of the most heartfelt speech's of all time. You see Slater was just a lost little boy before he moved to California and found the Max, without the Max he is nothing, NOTHING! As for the radio station, well it was never heard from again.

WHAT THE F*CK MOMENT: So the school board owns the Max? Whyyyy?

BEST QUOTE: Nerd #1: (After hearing Slater on the air) Boy, that guy stinks. Nerd #2: Yeah, somebody should wave a skunk in front of him! Brillant!

AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO... Most of the music on SBTB is simply without words. Most notably A12, Zack and Kelly's song. On this episode we finally hear a song with lyrics and they do not disappoint, enjoy...
"I need your money/I need your love/I need you honey/When a push comes to shove/I need your mo-ney!" OH YEAH.

DID YOU NOTICE:
Mr. Belding agrees to bring back KKTY on the condition that he have the final say on what goes out on the air. That means he should’ve pulled the plug after Jessie went on and attacked the school board for threatening to close the Max. Even the valedictorian can't follow the rules at this crackpot school.

REALLY?:
You're telling me there's a Bayside newspaper and there was never an episode where the gang is in charge of the newspaper? Really? Really?

BLATANT SEXUAL INNUENDO ALERT
Screech: "98% of our listeners want it short, fast, and often."
Must be a lot of dudes listening to KKTY.
