It’s true, I think there are many women who are attracted to brainy, nerdy guys who are not jocks. Screech’s obsession with Lisa prevented him from pursuing other women with whom he had more in common, and who would have treated him with respect.

​@@nancyhey1012 You do realize that if you saw this back in the day as a teenager, you are just as old as me right! let´s face it! we are old now!

@@CCQ75 yes, true!

The latter is true. But not to be that guy, but if you're considered a nerd I think most people won't give you that chance. This isn't to say that nerds can't get with girls out of their league, but most ppl judge by first appearance so I think you won't often get that chance to display that kind of confidence (Though Screech did display confidence by making moves on women like he did in the episode 'senior prom' even then it wasn't much.) Screech got really lucky with Kelly. Imagine if he approached Kelly the way Zack approached other girls (the senior prom). How would Kelly's reaction to Screech be? Actually I'll answer my question, Kelly is one of the few ppl that would give anyone a chance including screech (I don't think we saw an episode where Kelly actively disliked a guy and gave him that chance, Screech and Kelly naturally had alone time via tutor.). Point is you'll probably have to play a huge numbers game, esp if you're a nerd since most ppl don't give u that chance on first impression (and you still think this wouldn't happen today but it does, and I'm not including ppl who got together by chance encounters cuz they're hella different.) Also I'm gonna put this out there. Confidence alone won't help. The episode at Senior Prom, Screech had enough confidence to go after other girls and he gets rejected right and left, whereas Zack every girl basically responded well to him (It's basically the you have to be a Chad in order to score which I got enough experience to know it's not always true.). But he got depressed right after that many rejections. Kelly's just the 1% of women that do like him for his confidence that could be out of his league. If not Kelly, majority of the girls like her would reject him right on the spot. He also needs abundance mindset, improve his appearance, and a process that allows him to approach women but move on simultaneously (tho he needs to develop at least reading body language and social cues in order to do this.) If he has a nerd reputation at school, then as long as that first impression is set most ppl aren't gonna give u that chance, even after your self-improvement. You gotta go to the malls and talk to strangers for someone like that to give him that chance (basically starting fresh.) so then you gotta consider your environment.

She did, she would often defend him when other people got down on him.

It made her even more sexy

Ahh NO QUESTION !!!! the other five 😢would degrade him insult him insult his intelligence but Kelly ALWAYS respected as a person Plus they used him often Screech should've disowned them and found a new group of friends. Kelly fell for his personality which was a good start😂

I agree 👍😊

Kelly treated every one like that. She was an Angel.

you can see the virginity by looking at his bedroom lol i would not take a girl back there specially one that looked like kelly

The way he dressed reminds me of louis stevens.

That’s true, there was a lot of missed potential. They should have developed his character more, made him mature into a more serious character similar to the way Steve Urkel did.

He just told to act like a goofball and thats what he did.

I have a feeling if they did that, he would’ve been more popular than Zack which is probably what the producers didn’t want. A similar reason why they probably didn’t continue the relationship between screech and violet. Zack and Kelly were the main couple and if screech and Violets relationship continued, the fear would’ve been that they would be more popular.

@@richie9308I think that’s probably true. They wanted to keep the focus on Zack, and didn’t want Screech to become a breakout character. It’s a shame, because Screech was actually a more likeable character than Zack. Screech and Violet’s relationship was iconic, as seen in the Glee Club episode. It was more interesting than Zack and Kelly’s relationship, but apparently they had already decided they wanted the show to be all about Zack and Kelly.

@@nancyhey1012 Especially now when you look back on the show, Screech was so entertaining, even more entertaining than Zack that it was almost like he was carrying the show. There were times when he did something funny, the rest of the cast would almost break character. There were a few scenes he did with Lisa where she almost broke character. He definitely had potential to being something bigger on the show and the final season of the show proved that which I felt was where his character had been somewhat developed. When he became valedictorian, he definitely proved people wrong about him but gave it up to Jesse who would truly be grateful for it. I also think he did it as a way to show her that he wasn't what people thought of him as.

agreed and almost 50 for a couple berkley is 50 in july

more like 50s im an 80s baby i will be 40 next month i was a little kid in the 80s they would of been in there mid teens back then

It is no " secret" that Screech was a " genius" any more than it was a " secret" that Steve Urkel was a " genius". It's perfectly normal for geniuses to be socially awkward.

@@UnashamedCaliforniagirlit’s what I tell myself

Saved by the Kell 💃🔥

he woudl have been more exicited if they let her kiss him

Another reason to go for him: He's not as selfish or as inconsiderate as Zack or Slater. It's confirmed that he is the least selfish among the main cast.

My.thoughts.screech.kelly.together.they.make.a.great.couple

Indeed, I wish that they had dated for more than just one episode. But it was nice that they at least remained good friends after this. Kelly often defended Screech when other people would pick on him.

@@nancyhey1012 Thank you. I really wanted this ship to continue on till at least the end of the season, or halfway through season 2.

@@denishiawilliams895 yes, that would have been good.

Also a sad reminder of how old we all are lol.

@@isaacmemtorie3347 well..... Nothing really sad about the fact that we haven't died yet 😁😁😁

😂😂 yes

Nice to know Screech's parents had the good taste to allow him to watch Alf!

@@JLvatron Yeah it was rather good that

That’s true, SBTB really never portrayed nerds as being cool. It took Family Matters with Steve Urkle to do that. Even though Screech and Kelly didn’t become an item, I think she gained an appreciation for him as a friend after this episode. They always seemed to show a fondness for each other as friends.

Crazy Cool

That’s true, even though they did not stay together as a couple, I always felt like they remained good friends and respected each other.

😊 very good episode 😊 very sweet 😊

He never got to stick it in.

@@user-kg4lb4fh4yhe did with the robot 🤖🔥🚀

That style came back

I agree! More like the evolution of Steve Urkel.

Exactly. Like I said in another comment-it would have allowed the character to bring more to the table and get the rest of the group to realize there was more to Powers than what they gave him credit for.

@@MMZERO9Yes, that was the problem. The other characters usually just viewed him as a stereotypical nerd without appreciating his positive qualities. He was actually the smartest and most studious kid in the group, and also had the best ethic of loyalty to friends. Zack on the other hand really should have been held up as the example of what kids should NOT be like.

He had Violet for a bit. He was able to land some girls.

@@al821 He got some girls in the College Years, which was nice to see 👍🏻

@@SXI96 he did go on a few dates in The College Years, but none that lasted beyond just one episode, so it wasn’t as good as it could have been. I think only in the New Class did he have any long-lasting relationships.

Yes, Zack was jealous, and tried to mess up Screech and Kelly’s relationship. Even though Kelly had not made any commitment to go steady with Zack at that time, so Zack really had no right to be jealous.

@@nancyhey1012 Preach!

Yes, another missed opportunity. I feel like there must have been a lot of disagreements among scriptwriters as to whether to make Screech a serious and intelligent character or not.

@@nancyhey1012 They had the old mentality of having the golden boy being the center of all attention, its all about Zach. What will Zach do for a date, what will Zach do to get into the concert, to this, to day. Meanwhile Slater, Screech and Lisa were better characters, and Jessie became a better character as well. Family Matters understood from the moment they added Steve Urkel that golden boys in sitcoms are boring and that the crazy nerd facing social interactions is way more interesting, just like in real life. The Screech character was treated like garbage for yrs and he is still the most remembered thing of that show. Imagine if they had actually embraced him.

@@andresrojas7924 True, and the funny thing about that is Mark Paul is not even a natural blond, and as for the character of Zack, he was the least admirable or reliable of all of the characters on the show.

@@andresrojas7924 Screech is the most remembered character from the show, because I think contrary to what the show producers expected, more people related to having been an outcast or an underdog in their youth than having been the popular golden boy.

Right??? Bigger than their classroom

Because Screech knows science Jesse is a feminist

What about Rocky?! HAPPYBIRTHDAYPAULIE

Steve Urkle also got some good character development. If Screech had been given even that much opportunity for character development, he would have been better.

I wouldn’t exactly say “stole”. She had not really make a commitment to Zack. Zack was attracted to her, but she just decided she liked Screech better. In the end, Zack admitted that she would be better off with Screech- they had more interests in common.

I know but Zack shouldn’t get jealous and that’s his own best friend now looking back on saved by the bell I felt bad for screech. I felt Zack and slater and all screech friends bullied him called him bad names and made fun of him when they supposed to be his friends

Screech paired with Kelly and Zack with Lisa would definitely have made more sense than vice versa.

Hear hear !

girl like kelly can use and abuse me anyway she wants

In the College Years, he got more girls

Yes, but Lisa was kind of selfish in the early episodes of the show, in my opinion. She didn’t even think about Screech’s feelings. All she cared about was the public image of her friend Kelly, a popular girl, and how she thought that popularity would diminish by dating someone outside of the popular crowd. I noticed that it was not until later in the season that Lisa became more mature, and showed more respect to Screech. Then she would occasionally give him a friendly kiss on the cheek, but not in the early episodes.

@@nancyhey1012 Lisa was simply not interested in Screech, and Screech should have got a clue long ago and stop pestering Lisa. Screech is not entitled to have Lisa. That said, obviously it was played out for comedy; but in reality, life isn't fair and people have boundaries.

@@JanetStarChild I agree, Screech was not entitled to Lisa. But Lisa did not need to put Kelly down just because Kelly was interested in Screech, like telling Kelly she should “get a life”, just because she liked to go to parties at Screech’s place. In fact, Lisa also later on had put-downs of Violet Bickerstaff when Violet was dating Screech.

Oh, boy! 3 AM! *(proceeds to binge watch Saved by the Bell [including Good Morning Miss Bliss and the College Years])*

@@denishiawilliams895 Don't forget the two movies, _SBTB: Hawaiian Style_ and _SBTB: Wedding in Las Vegas._

Yeah He was only 41

Great question!

I always wondered that myself. I did not understand his logic. He broke it off with Kelly because he said they did not have any common interests, yet he continued to pursue Lisa, it’s whom he had even fewer common interests, and who did not even show any attraction to him.

this show was written by monkeys

@@nancyhey1012 And I’m sorry if this sounds racist but white guys do not pursue black girls like that

There were a lot of contradictions in his character. He was extremely intelligent on some matters, but also lacked common sense on others.

Pretty sure that was...a joke
