An occasional series where we make each other watch TV shows we loved as kids. In this episode, Mark finally gets to indulge his Saved by the Bell obsession. We cover 8 episodes across the four seasons. Expect lots of nostalgia, way too many mentions of 90s bands, a weird segue into the TV channel Trouble, and some unexpected annulment chat. We start by diving into our history with the show, and end with a ‘where are they now?’ for the main cast. S1E01 - Dance To The Max (11:00) S2E01 - The
