Next up, when it comes to moments only adults caught in Saved by the Bell, would be Zack's creepiness. He had a life-size poster of Kelly, and he took photos of female students, while they were wearing swimsuits, in order to make and sell a Girls of Bayside calendar.

Then, there was the fact that Jessie Spano gave feminism a bad name. Jezebel calls this The Jessie Spano Effect, which is "the unwillingness to call oneself a feminist for fear of being labeled an uptight, neurotic b*tch." B!tchMedia stated that her portrayal was "what a bunch of old men would assume feminism is all about" and that, when compared to the two other main female characters, who were popular in school, "the show's writers strongly suggest[ed] that being a feminist is unappealing."

Despite any and all problems with this show, it has led to films, spin-offs, and a revival that premiered on Peacock on Nov. 25, 2020.
