Zack needs a B+ to go skiing with his Father. Zack realizes studying isn't gonna get him anywhere, so he cajoles Screech to releasing his pet rats inside the school grounds by promising Screech a date with a couple of hot twins. Miss Bliss is up for a teacher of the year award. Mr. Belding is eager for that honor for his school. Zack's plan works, and he gets another week to study, but it also backfires because it affects Miss Bliss's chances at the award. Mr. Belding promises to shave off time from Zack & Screech's two week detention punishment if they help Miss Bliss's chances. This was an enjoyable, if unspectacular episode. It doesn't really have that special something that other episodes in this series do, but it's undeniably a charming 25 minutes or so to pass the time. I remember the days of being promised something I really like, if I did well with a test. I empathized with Zack, because I hated studying as well. I wouldn't scheme like he did, but it was really amusing. Miss Bliss is an amazing teacher. Her methods are great, and I'd vote for her any day. As a matter of fact, I wish I had a teacher like her back in high school. I would have probably found school to be a lot more interesting. It also has a very succinct hint of a potential Zack & Nikki romance. It didn't really last, as Nikki didn't return for Saved by The Bell, and was essentially replaced for a more exciting love interest in Kelly Kapowski
7.8/10
Favorite quote: (Lisa feeling Zack's forehead, because Zack is actually studying) Zack, are you OK? He feels normal. Screech: I feel normal too. Lisa: But, you're not!
