Mark-Paul Gosselaar wants to be very clear he does not “condone” any of the behavior of Zack Morris!
The Saved by the Bell star has been doing a podcast called Zack to the Future in which he rewatches the classic high school show. And he’s found that even for a character meant to be a bad example who had to learn lessons about not being such a sleaze, Zack does some stuff that NO ONE would put on TV today!
During this week’s episode of the Pod Meets World podcast, the former child star reflected with the cast of Boy Meets World on what he believes to be the most problematic episodes of the ’90s TV show he’s seen since beginning his rewatch journey. The first? Season 1’s The Lisa Card:
If you don’t remember the ep, basically, Lisa goes over on her dad’s credit card limit, and Zack tries to help her raise the money to pay it back. But unbeknownst to her, one of his schemes is charging boys $1 to “lose their Lisa cards” — aka get a kiss from her. Yes, he became Lisa’s pimp.

Uhhh, yeah, that definitely wouldn’t fly today. But that’s not all! Mark-Paul remembered another episode from Season 3 called Running Zack, in which his character pretends to be Native American for a class assignment — inappropriate headdress and all:
Oof. NOT good! Even when the character is meant to be in the wrong, no one would risk offending folks with a stunt like that these days.
Mark-Paul, though, admits those two episodes weren’t even the extent of the inappropriate moments, though. He admitted:
Did YOU watch SBTB? What’s the most problematic thing YOU remember Zack doing?? Let us know in the comments down below!
