Well, Bull is supposed to be a genius.Are you referring to the episode where Bull does well on an IQ test and becomes part of a think tank (with a bunch of animals :lol:)? Those test results have to be a fluke.

Screech (Good Morning Miss Bliss/Saved by the Bell/The New Class)
Screech was an odd one. Technically, he was a genius. I mean, he was a teenager who was able to build a fully functioning robot. Not to mention being the class valedictorian. Yet, he was given all of the typical sitcom dumb guy lines.

Mork wasn't dumb. He was an alien who just didn't understand humans or Earth culture. That certainly doesn't make him dumb. :rolleyes:

It's true: Screech was supposedly a genius who built his robot, Kevin. But he was also the dumbest character on the show. And that includes Mr. Belding, who was routinely tricked, in nearly every episode, by a 15-year-old kid (Zack).
