They were vacationing on Zack's father's yacht, when the weather started getting rough, and the tiny ship was tossed. Since there was no fearless crew, the ''Guppy'' had been lost... along with Kelly's life. The "kelly" who walked in, ruining his little story, was a different [[Put On a Bus]] character from earlier in the series, and there was no class that sent sophomores to ive on a luxury cruise liner for a year and a half; that was his parents coming to get him and lock him away for his own safety, after repeated drowning attempts. The final episode is after he manages to drown himself in a bowl of chilled soup, finally being reuinited with Kelly in the marriage they had discussed after patching up their differences on the yacht years before.

Incidentally, Zach is Dio; he has almost the same hairstyle and hair colour as Dio, he can stop time, and rules don't apply to him. He even has two unique catchphrases: Dio's "Toki wo tomare!" and "Soshite toki wa ugoki dasu" are replaced by "Time out!" and "Time in!". Screech is probably Jonathan Joestar, kind and intellectual, but inferior to Dio. He doesn't even have a stand, just intelligence and ripple powers. Slater is definitely Polnareff - a powerful idiot who hates Dio.

Bayside High was remodeled at the turn of the millennium, which leads to the start of That's So Raven. Combine that with the two crossovers that Disney Channel aired in 2006 and 2009 and it makes sense. Palisades could be a neighborhood in San Francisco, if the whole "technically that can't ever be possible" argument is made. And, to top it all off, Good Morning, Miss Bliss aired on Disney Channel before NBC retooled it, so the connection is probably somewhat intentional.

*** By the time of The College Years, Zack was no longer freezing time (although he still came up with pranks and zany-yet-harmless schemes). This is because in the process of living among the mortals of Bayside and falling in love with Kelly, he had finally decided to become human permanently so that he could be with Kelly. Zack had finally learned humility, and the Gods were pleased.

If the show had stayed "in" northern Indiana it would be both better accepted by critics then and more fondly remembered as something other than a cheese-fest now. Just like ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' ([[Motor City|Detroit]]), ''[[Degrassi]]'' ([[Toronto]]), ''[[Glee]]'' (northern Ohio) and ''[[That Seventies Show|That '70s Show]]'' (southeast Wisconsin).

** The reason she rode a motorcycle was so that she would be able to make a quick getaway if it ever became clear that her pursuers had found her. Evidently this became the case towards the end of senior year, as Tori suddenly disappeared just as suddenly as she had appeared.

* It's well-known that her father, the rich and powerful TV producer Aaron Spelling, was the driving force behind her career. It's entirely possible that he used his clout to force NBC and the SBTB crew to create a guest-starring role for his daughter. This would explain why in "The College Years," the show eagerly had Alex make a [[Take That]] towards Tori Spelling in one episode; they resented being arm-twisted and wanted to get in an insult once she was gone.
