The episode raises eyebrows when viewed through a modern lens.
The Big Picture Over its four-year run of 86 episodes, Saved by the Bell quickly established itself as a staple of teen-centric '90s entertainment. Following the angst and antics of six students attending California's fictional Bayside High School, the series was popular enough to spawn TV movies and spin-offs while serving as a launchpad for the careers of its main cast.
In an era with broadened societal dialogue regarding topics like cultural insensitivity, "Running Zack" certainly dates itself with some of its content. The episode's cringe factor isn't limited to Zack's trajectory, as Jesse , distraught over discovering that some of her ancestors were slave owners, professes her guilt to Lisa ad nauseam.
