This episode was one of my favorites of Saved By The Bell, a setting stone in season 2, it marks Kelly & Zack's new found relationship. Zack was so sweet in this episode, instead of his scheming way. Lisa & Screech go on their first date which I thought would never happen. And Screech dumps Lisa which is the surprising part. Finally more drama at Bayside. Kelly has financial problems which could tear her & Zack up but it turns out to be just fine as they have their own little prom and their first kiss! Woah that was an intense episode. Can't wait for more.moreless

This episode is as romantic as night itself. If you have ever wanted to see Zack act romantic to Kelly, this is the chance. This is the great start of the second season of Saved By The Bell, and will lead on to more romance in the series between A.C. and Jessie and Screech and Lisa and Zack and Kelly. What a wonderful idea! There finally is some romance in the loveable and populable series.

Zack and Kelly wants to go to the prom, but Kelly didn't tell Zack that she can't go later on. When Zack finds out, he decides to do something very romantic. You'll find out this romantic something later on in the episode.

This episode was hilarious and great.moreless

My favorite SBTB episode

The Prom-centric episodes were alway amongst the most exciting episodes of the show, because they brought the main core cast members together. They were also written by the best writing staff. This episode is no exception. What I love most about the episode is that the 3 main couples of the show are together - in different ways, of course. Lisa finally accepts Screech's offer of a date, which has a hilarious outcome when the gang join them to the movies. Screech's unrequited love for Lisa always brought comic relief to the show. Jessie and Slater agree to go to Prom together because they have no dates, and find they have feelings for each other and become centre spotlight when they dance together, despite being total opposites. And most importantly, Zack and Kelly finally become a couple and share their first kiss. Zack does something really romantic for Kelly in this episode because she cannot afford Prom, and it's always a pleasure to see these two be so loving with each other, because they had such great chemistry.

Definitely a memorable episode, a strong episode for the central couple, and my favorite SBTB episode of all time.moreless

The prom was good even though Kelly did'nt get a propper dress she still got to come with the guy that she loves which is so romantic don't u think so.

i think kelly and zack were made for each other even though

they are still going to break up and get back togheter.

i wish they were togheter in real live it would be so cool.

zack is totally hot. this song shoyuld have been used in the prom if it was out at that time it gos like this.

i didn' mean it when i said i did'nt love

u so i should have held on tight

i never should have let you go

i was foolish i was crazy

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (4)
ADD TRIVIA
- In this episode Kelly says to her father that there are 7 other people living in her house, besides her. Meaning 5 brothers and sisters, and her mother and father. But in "Cream for a Day" she stated she is one of seven children in the Kapowski family.
  EDIT SHARE
- Despite the couplings of Zack/Kelly and Slater/Jessie, there are several episodes to follow, that imply these couples are not together. In fact, it will not be until mid season that these relationships are clearly established and continue week to week.
  EDIT SHARE
- This episode focuses on the prom. However, they are only high school freshman. They should not be attending a prom of their own for at least two more years and even that would be called a Junior Prom. So wouldn't that make this really just a ninth grade formal?
  EDIT SHARE
- This episode marks Jessie and Slater's first "date".

  EDIT SHARE
- Lisa: What a great movie, Screech.
  (she looks at the seat next to her and sees that Screech is not there)
  Lisa: Screech? Where are you?!
  (Screech is next to Slater, exasperated)
  Screech:I missed most of the movie 'cause of motor mouth down there. (to Lisa) Next time, I'm goin' to the movies with Matt Dillon. This has been the worst date of my life! Forget the prom!
  Lisa: Wait, wait a minute. You're not supposed to dump me. I'm supposed to dump you.
  EDIT SHARE
- Lisa: I have a map of every mall from here to Tijuana.
