Meet teenager Zack Morris (Mark Paul Gosselaar) and his eclectic
group of friends. Zack himself is a complicated fellow: he's a vain hound for
the girls and a screw-up who sets attendance records for detention. But as the
series progresses, he also demonstrates that he's a thoughtful kid, underneath
it all, with insight and loyalty to others. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen plays Kelly
Kapowski, a cheerleader and mall rat who gains seriousness of purpose and
dignity over time, and who ends a rivalry between Zack and good-natured sexist
jock A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez) by choosing the former--after he cleans up his
act a bit. Jessie Murtle Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) may be the most interesting
character: smart and given to alternative-lifestyle values, an unabashed
feminist yet self-conscious about her height. (She towers over most boys
interested in her). Samuel "Screech" Powers (Dustin Diamond) is the show's token
nerd, but he defies the stereotype in many ways. |
