From the beginning, this episode is interesting. Funny. Well-written overall. Surprising ending. Just wow. Million times better than today's TV.

WOW. PERFECT Episode to Start With!

Just Dancing?

Warning: Spoilers
As the first episode of Saved By the Bell (later confirmed was not the pilot). It does not drive much of a plot other than Zach trying to win over Kelly in a dance completion but he is not very good to but it lightly.
I felt they had a few odd scenes in this episode, like the band scene, not sure what the point of that one was. They did seem to capture Jessie Spano's anxiety of being too tall, and taller than all the boys in her class. Not sure if this was the plan, but they put two people who had a fear, Jessie and her height, and Zach and not being able to dance, together in the end to compete at Max's. Surprising that in the end they did not win the competition in fact they came in last! Just very different to the kids type of shows that came out in the late 90's and throughout the 2000's in that regard
Looking back at it over 30 years ago, I did not remember it being as corny as it was. I knew it was made for kids and to compete with cartoons but wow it really nailed that part.
