The Saved by the Bell Universe

Where do you stand on this? I mean with all the questions of Zack Morris' sociopathic tendencies, the time freezing, breaking the fourth wall, everything happening in the Max, questions do arise.

For example, The Tori Episodes? Alternate Universe? Same Universe except Kelly and Jessie were over there? You can make arguments for both.

Alternate Universe/it's a different show:

• Slater's sister who we've never seen or been mentioned is here.
  Zack's Dad has an evil beard.
  Mr. Belding isn't quite as incompetent or obsessed with the kids liking them.
  Zack is a bit more of a jerk than the Kelly/Jessie episodes.
  Mrs. Belding finally shows up and she's not the fat cow that Mr. Belding references Pre-Tori.
  Tori shows up before the Fall Ball, so it's the beginning of September. In one episode Zack skips the first couple days of school to reminisce over the summer. Which universe this is, is unclear because Kelly and Jessie call Lisa but are not seen.

In the other Universe, Zack comes bursting through the hallways claiming that "It's senior year, we rule the school now" and trick some freshman into buying a hall pass. So clearly these events occur at the same time and it's not like Jessie and Kelly spent the semester abroad or something.

Also, in the Tori episode, Zack buys some rings from some sleazy ring dealer Gem Diamond. Gem Diamond reappears in PCH selling a crappy car to Sly on California Dreams.

I think SBTB is just one of those shows where, no matter how much you try to fix the continuity errors and other goofs with theories, it just can't ever truly be completely "fixed".

That thread is hilarious, though. The "Kelly and Jessie were in Paris while Tori was at Bayside" theory is a pretty good one.

My favorite SBTB theory is that Mr. Belding, Zack, Lisa, and Screech witnessed a terrible murder, and were put into the Witness Protection Plan, secretly moving from Indiana to California. They never spoke of the incident, or their sudden relocation, for fear that someone would find out. I suspect the murder victim was either Miss Bliss, Nikki, Mikey, Milo, or Tina. Maybe all five of them.
