My parents weren't big fans of letting my brother and I hang out outside the house when they weren't home. As a result, we watched A LOT of TV. We both loved Saved By The Bell in those formative years and we had two favorite episodes.
The first is an older one--not a Haley Mills one, but one where the gang can't be more than 14. The have to pair off as husband-wife teams for home ec and of course they split off--Jessie and Slater, Zack and Kelly and those crazy kids Lisa and Screech. It's one of our favorites because it contains a line that used to make me laugh so hard I cried, but upon modern reflection, I don't see what I found so incredibly hilarious. At one point during the episode, Jessie and Slater are talking and Slater says the kicker,
"Why don't you call me what you usually call me? Tiger man."
Okay--it still makes me chuckle a little.
Our 2nd favorite ep is one that I'm sure we share with everyone who's every watched the show.
That's right--the ep with Jessie and the caffeine pills. I didn't know what caffeine pills really were then but their affect on her was priceless. Thank you, youtube--below is the best scene EVER.
I do still laugh at this one. Way to go Elizabeth Berkeley. Showgirls sucked but you'll live on forever because of this scene.
