Saved by the Bell’s Mark-Paul Gosselaar believes some classic episodes of the popular ’90s high school sitcom would not be made today.Promoting his own Saved by the Bell-themed podcast, Gosselaar appeared on the Pod Meets World podcast hosted by TV’s Boy Meets World actors Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong and Will Friedle. He discussed his time growing up in front of millions of young viewers as teen heartthrob Zack Morris every Saturday morning on NBC while reflecting on Bell storylines that come off as offensive to modern audiences. “In terms of storylines, there was a few,” Gosselaar said. “There was one where I was basically whoring out Lisa Turtle. I charged people to kiss her without her consent, that was a tough one. We had to preface the [podcast] episode by saying, ‘We do not condone this, we’re just here to discuss it.'”Another stand-out cringy Saved by the Bell moment that Gosselaar recalled was the Season 2 episode “Running Zack.” In the episode, Zack has to pass a family heritage presentation assignment to stay on the track team and he’s paired with a Native American chief who teaches him about his Native ancestry. The closing moments of the episode featured Zack in Native attire in front of his classmates which Gosselaar finds uncomfortable to watch now. “The other one was where Zack Morris claimed that he was Native American,” Gosselaar continued. “Seeing Zack Morris in a full headdress… That was one we had to be a little sensitive on, there’s things that you just would not film these days.”RELATED: Saved By the Bell Will Honor Dustin Diamond With a Special Tribute in Season 2
