Slater's speech saves The Max

[JSirro · 7/10 · 9 July 2021]

Screech and Zack find an area of Bayside that used to be used for the school radio back in the 60's. They beg Belding to let them start the radio back up, which he is really reluctant. Meanwhile they find out that The Max is hurting for cash after Max says he lost 10K.

Slater asks to do the sports section and when he does, is terrible and the newspaper revels how bad he is. Zack asks to use the radio to try and save the Max, but after struggling Slater comes in and gives a heartfelt speech to get people to donate and save The Max.

This episode is all over the place. For a kids show I feel like they should have focused on one of the storylines, Slater being bad at radio or trying to save The Max. Then when they finally get to the two storylines merging in Slater's speech to promote donations it is all but 30 seconds, the phones start ringing and that is the end of the episode. The credits were rolling and I was like "What the hell?". It just felt like it ended.

The radio roles by the characters was very enjoyable, I would have loved to see an episode solely devoted to the radio and Slater being bad....but there wasn't. Overall a 6.7.
