Screech's Spaghetti Sauce

Belding is teaching communications class, because apparently being a teacher is all about communication. There's a new girl named Robin, and she looks a lot like Punky Brewster. For their project, Zack proposes a morning talk show, called Wake-Up L.A. Brilliant. This gives him an excuse to wear an awesome 90's blazer. Lisa co-anchors. Jessie, of course, is the hard-hitting reporter, and Kelly is the hot weathergirl. Screech gets his own cooking show, and Slater is his assistant. Screech makes an awesome spaghetti sauce, and Zack immediately exploits it for a profit.

They steal beakers from the chemistry lab, and set up an assembly line. Things go comically wrong because of Screech, and then they film a horrible commercial. If I were Italian, I would be offended. There are several parallels though: Slater's character is named Mario, Jessie is his "Mama," and when Screech rings the doorbell, Slater says "Saved by the bell." Awesome stuff there.

The sauce is selling like hotcakes, and Robin and Screech are hot and heavy. He showers her with gifts, and she seems a little ungrateful. There's another problem. It seems Screech's secret family recipe is stolen from the Betsy Crocker cookbook. Uh oh.

The party's over, and now Screech knows about Robin's greed. And Belding's pissed too. He knows that the gang used school supplies to sell the sauce, and he wants his money. There aren't any profits left because Screech spent it all on Robin, but don't worry. Zack thinks of an elaborate plan on his feet. He's so clever.

Cut to the Max, and Screech is with Robin. He tells her that he wants to sell the recipe, and in walks Zack dressed as a German I guess. There's a bidding war for the recipe, and the greedy Robin buys it for a steep 2 grand. I can only assume she gets sued. But isn't it illegal for the gang to sell a recipe that they don't really own? I swear, there are at least a dozen times where Zack Morris should go to jail.

QUOTES!

Belding: Being a principal is all about communication.

Zack: I thought being a principal meant sleeping in your office all day.
