“The sauce-a you can have, but the secret? She’s A MINE!”
Another “Saved by the Bell” episode that begins one way and takes a hard turn into another plotline entirely. The gang produces a cable access news broadcast, but Screech’s cooking segment inexplicably sparks a sensation around Bayside. He also makes incredible spaghetti sauce, and so Zack concocts a plan to sell it using stolen chem lab supplies and, well, as it turns out, a stolen recipe.
Why is everyone so enamored with Screech on TV? He’s just as obnoxious there as he is in person, and yet other students want his autograph. Some gold-diggin’ girls also want a piece of Screech’s sweet, sweet spaghetti profits. What are we talking about here? A couple hundred bucks tops? Anyway, one of the girls is Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster!) She doesn’t appreciate classic cars.
The Saved by the Bell to the Max crew discuss this late series installment, which includes the title of the show in an actual line of dialogue. It happens when the gang makes a commercial to sell the sauce… a commercial that goes on for three minutes and includes some really bad Italian accents and cultural stereotypes. Mamma Mia!
Hey, but seriously, Screech is the worst, and his sauce ain’t shit either.
Hey, Dennis Haskins: What’s your favorite Italian food? Come on the show and tell us about it!
