Pretty good episode
20 April 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This was a great episode, like every Saved by the Bell episode was, but I have some questions. First, if the school strikes oil, doesn't that money belong to the city, since it's a public school? Second, oil deposits are generally really far below the surface. How do you strike oil when putting in new goal posts. The farthest they'd have to drill into the earth to put in goal posts would be 20 feet. There is no way that oil would be that close to the surface. Third, why does the guy that comes to do the drilling have to be a stereotypic Texan oil juggernaut? Would he really come to California, and be donning his stereotypical Texan get-up? Other than those three things, it's a pretty solid episode, with a moral to the story, just like every other episode.
