Welcome to Late Night Retro Television Reviews, a feature where we review some of our favorite and least favorite shows of the past!  On Saturdays, I will be reviewing Saved By The Bell, which ran on NBC from 1989 to 1993.  The entire show is currently streaming on Prime and Tubi!

This week, Kelly is irresponsible.

Episode 1.13 “The Babysitters”

(Dir by Don Barnhart, originally aired on December 1st, 1990)

This episode stresses me out.

Kelly’s parents go off on a ski vacation and leave Kelly with the responsibility of taking care of her infant brother.  (Really?)  When they get stranded at the lodge, Kelly has to bring the baby to school.  She asks her idiot friends to help look after him.

Of course, Zack loses the baby.  Fortunately, Mr. Belding finds him but still…

Seriously, I hate this episode.  I hate that Kelly’s parents are irresponsible enough to abandon their baby so that they can go skiing.  I hate that Kelly has to find someone to take care of the baby while she goes to cheerleader practice.  I hate that Zack is dumb enough to lose the baby.  I hate that no one ever says, “Wow, this whole situation is really messed up.”  This is the one episode that I always turned off whenever I came across it on TV.

This episode, I just can’t take it.
