Trivia inspiration strikes in a lot of different ways. Today I saw a laptop sticker that said, “Never stop learning.” Church. But the style of the sticker made me think of The Max restaurant from “Saved by the Bell.” And voila, mid-meeting, I’m writing “Saved by the Bell” trivia.
The fashion. The hijinks. The relationship angst. The very special episodes. The absolutely atrocious acting. I have a soft spot in my heart for SBTB, but I can guarantee you that none of us should ever watch it again. Just remember it through foggy nostalgia glasses and check out “Schitt’s Creek” instead.
Can you answer these five questions about the denizens of Bayside High?
‘Saved by the Bell’ quiz
- Mario Lopez played smooth jock A.C. Slater, who most people knew as just Slater. What did the A.C. stand for?
- Along with Screech, only one other character remained with the franchise, including the “New Class” spin-off, from start to finish. Who was it?
- What’s the name of Kelly’s boss at The Max who she falls for, leading to her breaking up with Zack (while Slater and Jessie sing “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” breaking all of our hearts into a million tiny pieces forever)?
- Scientology slayer Leah Remini had a six-episode arc as Stacey Carosi, a love interest Zack meets in Season 3 when he worked at what beach resort?
- In 2009, which cast member released a salacious tell-all book about his time on the series called “Behind the Bell”?
Answers up after the most hilarious, classic and iconic scene from the entire show, and something that deeply resonated with me because like Jessie Spano I was also a Type-A nerd obsessed with grades and maintaining a 4.0 GPA in high school. I too, was so excited. I too, was so scared.
