Quotes:

Brandon Tartikoff: You know, I was thinking that at NBC we could make something out of this. How about a sitcom about a high school principal and his students that he helps every day?
Mr. Richard Belding: Really? I think's that's a great idea.
Brandon Tartikoff: Nah. It'll never work out.

Commercial!

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Jonny Dakota is looking for a the perfect High School to film his "Drug Free" commercial. Zach gets the school together to do a short presentation for Jonny to prove Bayside is the right school to do the commercial. Zach becomes close friends with Jonny and auctions off items to students, while keeping the jacket to himself. Zach and Slater find a "roach" in the boys bathroom and try to hide it from Jonny, he catches them with it and takes it from them to flush it. Later on, the whole gang gets invited to Jonny's party. They continue on with the commercial with the a few strings pulled together by Mr. Belding. The gang surprises me so much, and I admire them for their courage. "Just say NOPE to dope!"
