when she tried to "fake seduce"/scare straight Zack in the "From Nurse to Worse" episode? I mean if you think about it too much, it just opens up too many unfortunate implications (an attractive young school employee coming on to a student even if the intent/ulterior motive was to pay him back) if this occurred in real life or something closer to our present (as opposed to 1990 era television).

It's like the movie The Graduate.

I think because of the world that Saved by the Bell set up for itself (kind of a colorful, kitschy, late '80s-early '90s, possibly less politically correct representation of high-school), you can give something like that a little bit of leeway. I guess, my point is that SBTB hardly ever presented itself as a down-to-earth, "realistic" high school show like say, Degrassi.

Granted, if something like this was done today (at least within the context of a sitcom for kids/tweens/teens like SBTB), then it would have to be done in a completely ironic sense (or, there has to be some sort of sly social commentary). You simply can't be so innocent (simply because of the darker implications in light of stuff like Mary Kay Letoureau or the harsh double standard of a man being in Nurse Jennifer's position) w/ the notion of a hot school nurse acting like she's strongly attracted to a student who was previously infatuated with her.

In my opinion, she did cross a line even if she did have a good reason to, but of course if she had done what should have been done which is confront Zack like a normal human being would, the episode wouldn't have been as interesting.

God bless you always!!!
