i think these are my favorites too. i do wish that the school song wasn't re-runned (don't know if that is even a verb) so often on tv because i.hate.tori.

seriously.

but i'm thankful that i watched saved by the bell 3 times every day after school growing up instead of what's on tv now!!! how different my life may have been...

great job, kelli! very solid list, though i would have put "last dance" a bit higher - maybe even as high as 2. i do, however, greatly appreciate that "last dance" and "the prom" are sequentially placed in the list. i mean, those two episodes are inseparable: love is born (at the picnic table outside the gym) in one and dies (at the VERY SAME picnic table outside the gym) in the other.

lastly - and this is just a personal gripe - i wish "snow white and the seven dorks" had made the list.

p.s. the word verification below is "church."
