KKTY was the voice at Bayside in the 60's, and it was run by the hippest, hottest, most rad deejay ever...The Big Bopper Richie Belding. The gang wants to put KKTY back on the air, but Belding instantly refuses. But they're able to convince him with an awesome "Bopper! Bopper! Bopper!" chant.
I guess Zack is now the station manager, and Slater wants to be in charge of sports. Apparently at home he turns down the tv and does play by play in his living room, so he has to be really good, right? Wrong.
Meanwhile, Jessie does some detective work and finds that the Max is owned by the Bayside school district. And if Max doesn't come up with $10,000 in back rent by next week, everyone's favorite hang out will be turned into a parking lot. Time to take to the airwaves!
Belding is pissed off and says he's not going to stick his neck out over this radio station again. Again? What did he mean? There must be something he isn't telling us.
The school paper reviews the station, and they love everyone except Slater. He's boring, dull, and should become a mime. The gang doesn't stick up for him when he objects, so he quits the station.
Jessie continues to dig, and she finds what Belding is hiding. While a student, he apparently mooned the school board while protesting their ban on long hair and blue jeans. He was the Zack Morris of the 60's! Zack blackmails Belding into helping convince the school board to not shut down the Max.
Cut to the Max, where the station is holding a Save the Max radio telethon. In comes the Big Bopper, and KKTY's first living legend kicks off the show the same way he used to kick off his old show:
It's time for...Bel-bel-bel-bel-da-ding-da-ding-ding, Bel-bel-bel-bel-da-ding-da-dong-ding Belding
Even though he quit the radio station, Slater pledges his savings, a cool $100. Despite his awesome pledge, the telethon is quickly slowing down. The phones stopped ringing hours ago, and everyone's passed out. Wolfman Zack has lost his voice. Things look grim. That is until...
Slater shows up to save the day! He takes the mic and delivers one of the most stirring inspirational speeches of all time.
Alright everybody, listen up. I'm A.C. Slater and I've got something to say. Now look, I used to move around a lot. I never had a place I could actually call home. Until I came to Bayside. And now, for the first time, I have real friends. And a cool place to hangout. It's kind of like a second home. Whenever I'm bummed, there's always someone here to help. Now I know it's late, and everyone's tired, and the easy thing to do is to quit, right? But hey, quitting never works. Look guys, we can't give up. No, we gotta save this place! So get off your tails and make a donation. Let's keep the Max alive!
The phones start ringing, and the Max is saved. Thank god for A.C. Slater.
QUOTES!
Lisa: Do you think we should be honest and tell him he stinks?
Jessie: How can we without hurting his feelings?
Screech: Why don't we just wave a skunk in front of him?
Kelly: Do you think we're doing the right thing?
Zack: Hey, is Belding balding?
Jessie: We have a duty to report the truth.
Belding: The truth?! You and Pinocchio Morris?

Great summary! I started getting back into Saved By the Bell. I just finished the Miss Bliss era in its entirety and kind of want to check out this one right away before any others. I'm hoping the show is as fun and light as I remembered from watching the TBS reruns a few years back.
