Top Most Controversial Teen Show Moments

It's official. We're all old. Saved by the Bell is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Sigh.

It seems like only yesterday I was mooning over Zack Morris and his "cell" phone that was approximately the size of Alaska. Now, Screech is a fat loser on reality shows, I still haven't forgiven Elizabeth Berkeley for "Showgirls" and Mario Lopez hasn't stopped working out for a second since 1988 (luckily he did finally lose that mullet though).

But we mustn't wallow for too long. Rather we should enjoy what was.

BuzzFeed.com is celebrating the S.B.T.B milestone by posting the top 17 most controversial teen show moments on their Web site. From Blossom to Degrassi to the Fresh Prince to even Full House (Stephanie Tanner smoking! Nooooo!) it's chock full of the everyday "problems" we all used to face growing up (I mean, didn't your eating disorder only last for 24 minutes too?).

Just to give you a taste, here's a sampling (including my all-time favorite of Jessie Spano freaking out on none other than caffeine pills).

Ah, nostalgia.

"I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...so...scared!"

Helen Hunt. Pushing Dope. Priceless.

Punky. Nose candy. 'Nuff said.

Carlton dancing on speed. What's new, pussycat, indeed.

    Wow, I remember all of those, I feel so old. My sister and I still do the Jesse breakdown anytime the opportunity comes up. Saved By The Bell was my alltime favorite show. I remember running in the house after school so I wouldn't miss a minute of it.

    I know we're getting old, last night my husband and I were up watching Roseanne on TVLand.. :(
