This article discusses why certain storylines from the classic 90s sitcom, Saved by the Bell, wouldn't resonate with modern audiences. Using the example of the 'Rent-a-Pop' episode, the writer highlights how social norms and technological advancements have changed since the show's original run.
One of the most generation-defining TV shows of the last 40 years, Saved By the Bell brought a lot of laughter and general hijinks into the lives of its Gen X and Millennial viewers during its original 1989-1992 run and subsequent Saved by the Bell reboot.

Any self-respecting current teen show would at least attempt to conceal the relationship and utilize the secrecy for dramatic purposes. All in all, the whole storyline would have been handled differently if the show had been set in a different time period.
4 The Zack Tapes Episode From Season 1 There is a lot to unpack about this episode. First of all, the way that it utilizes subliminal messaging as this magical workaround to getting people to do whatever their heart desires is actually quite laughable, but seeing as it's a lighthearted teen show, that can be expected. But using it for such dastardly purposes is far from lighthearted.
