Growing up, I had  serious Saved By the Bell addiction. I’m talking every single afternoon after school, sometimes before school, and it didn’t matter how many times I had seen the episode. I don’t know if it was the comfortingly formulaic plot, the cheesy 90’s fashion and hair, or my love of one Zack Morris, but I definitely was hooked.

I found, as I got a bit older, that I was not alone. This show is somewhat of a phenomenon among my generation (and other generations too, I’m sure). Thus, I thought it would be fun to do a TV quiz tonight!

WHICH SAVED BY THE BELL CHARACTER ARE YOU?

1. You just scored a dream date with your crush! What do you suggest for the date?

A. A trip to the beach so you can see her in her bikini

B. The ballet! That way you can make sure the barbarian can stand a little culture!

C. The mall. He does carry plastic, right?

D. First she can watch my wrestling match, then we’ll go to a football game

E. Zoinks! A girl is going out with me?

2. What is your best physical feature?

A. My hair. I’ve got it gelled down to a science

B. My intelligence, you chauvinist pig!

C. My fabulous fashion sense, of course

D. My dimples

E. Oh no, I left the lid off my ant farm!

3. Monday Monday… time to get up and go to school. What’s your favorite part of school?

A. Class? Is that the place next to the lockers?

B. Chemistry, Literature, Algebra… I rock them all. I’m ever teacher’s dream.

C. Girl, I just go for the gossip!

D. Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads… oh, and sports.

E. Groinks! I forgot where I go to school!

4. What is your favorite song?

A. I wish they all could be California Girls

B. She blinded me with science

C. Fashion (turn to the left!)

D. We are the champions

E. Meeeep! Anything my girlfriend Tori Spelling Violet sings at Glee Club!

5. What is your greatest fear?

A. Losing my looks so I can’t score babes

B. Getting an A minus

C. Finding myself at the Max- in LAST SEASONS SHOES!

D. Jessie might beat me up for being a sexist pig.

E. My own shadow

So, if you haven’t cracked the code already… here are the results!

Mostly As- You’re  Zack Morris. Dreamy and bleached blonde with big plans and an even bigger cell phone… you rule the school! If only Belding would get out of your way, you would spend your day wooing chicks and surfing.

Mostly Bs- You’re Jessie Spannow. Though some might call you an egghead, you prefer “intellectually superior.” You’re driven for excellence, with a little help from some friendly neighborhood uppers. You like your boyfriend Slater, but your real love is being a self righteous know it all.

Mostly Cs- You’re Lisa Turtle. The producers were so happy to have a minority cast member they forgot to give you a personality beyond shopaholic. Except for that one episode where you read philosophy with the lit snob. Sorry Lisa- but at least you always looked fierce!

Mostly Ds- You’re Albert Clifford (AC) Slater. The producers almost forgot you were a minority too, but then you flexed your muscles and showed them your curly mullet, and they gave you a single episode about your Chicano roots. It was meaningful. Oh wait, I forgot- Zack Morris was a Native American. Upstaged again by that dreaded Preppy!

Mostly Es- You, unfortunately, didn’t crack the code and realize early on that you would end up a Screech and cheat. Therefore, you probably are a real life Screech. Sorry! But look on the bright side, I didn’t say you were a Belding!

If you answered all questions with “when life gives you lemons, make some lemonade!”  then you’re Kelly Kapowski. And I couldn’t think of an interesting answer for you for any questions that didn’t involve cheerleading, so you weren’t really included in the quiz until now.

I hope you guys had fun with my quiz- Which one are you? I for one think I’m a Stacy Carosi (bonus points if you list a character not included in the above quiz). Did you watch Saved by the Bell?
