!!FridgeLogic:
* Doubling as FridgeHorror, just who was videotaping the gang's life events in "Time Capsule"? Keep in mind that it wasn't them just telling the future class in vivid detail everything they experienced; they actually included clips from various episodes shown on the tape.
** '''Fridge Brilliance''': [[Series/SavedByTheBell2020 Ron Toddman]]. Of ''course'' no one remembered him; he was always behind the camera, chronicling events, not actually being a part of them. To the rest of gang he was probably a forgettable, ubiquitous AV Club nerd.
* Why was Lisa matched up with Screech in "The Mamas and The Papas"? Even though Belding claimed that [[BlatantLies all the students were matched alphabetically]], if it's going by just the six of them (and isn't it ''always'' going by just them?), then ''Jessie'' should have been paired with him (Spano/Powers) and she should have been paired with ''Slater'' (Turtle/Slater).
** [[RuleofFunny How hilarious would it have been for Screech to be working with Jessie?]]
* After seeing how upset or jealous Screech gets upon Lisa going out with or having feelings for another guy (as "The Bayside Triangle" being the prime example), why wasn't he bothered over Eric's obsession with her in "The Wicked Stepbrother" two-parter? Or when she began to return those feelings? If he was so in love with her as it's already been established, why wasn't he behaving normally there? He even ''wept with joy'' when she begged Eric not to leave at the end of the second part, calling her speech "beautiful".
* If Kelly's family was [[PerpetualPoverty so poor/cash-strapped]] (or at least in comparison to her friends), then why did she have that huge bedroom (of her own) with a walk-in closet or bathroom and a collection of nice clothes?
** Her family wasn't always poor. Their income dropped when the defense plant her father worked at for years was shut down due to the end of the UsefulNotes/ColdWar.

** Adding onto this, it's also quite possible that the colleges caught wind to her little gratuitous breakdown in "S.A.T.s" due to her less than expected score and the dismissive attitude of the recruiter from her choice college, Stansbury. While she ''is'' a straight-A students and has a slew of extracurricular activities to her name, it's unlikely that a school would accept someone who comes off as unstable as she did.[[note]]Case in point, [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Carlton Banks']] disastrous interview with the Princeton University representative in "The Alma Matter"[[/note]]

* In "Bedside Manner" (the episode where Kelly was working as a head orderly when Professor Lasky was admitted as a patient due to a stress-induced ulcer and Zack hung around to keep an eye on them), was Kelly working at a student medical center or an actual hospital? It alluded to being the former, but was a bit too detailed for that and showed signs of being the latter (it was mentioned to have an X-ray lab, a morgue, Dean [=McMann=] made a quip about if Zack's angle for working there was a girl being in a body cast he was trying to take advantage of, etc.)

* It was noticeable how much younger Screech was than everyone else (as Dustin Diamond was at least three years younger than the rest of the cast), but given how [[TeenGenius smart he is]], it's entirely plausible that he skipped a couple of grades.

** The pianist and the detective are the victims from the game, while Jameson and the butler fake their deaths to throw off the trail for the game.


Added DiffLines:

** By definition, phobias are not rational fears and people suffering from them cannot be expected to act rationally during an occurrence of the phobia. Besides, even if Tori had been perfectly in control, being a birthing coach would do nothing towards helping complications from a birth.

* Also considered as FridgeHorror, as far as Screech's infamous {{Flanderization}} goes, notice what a brainy (if not nerdy and awkward) kid he was in the first season. During this season, he had mentioned to [[{{Jerkass}} Zack]] in one episode that after he gave him a punishable noogie that his doctors told him that his skull hadn't hardened yet. ''Then'' realize all of the various {{Dope Slap}}s that the rest of the gang had given him over the years...

* It has been pointed out that had Frank from "A Home for Christmas" not had a beautiful teenage daughter, how likely would his situation of being homeless had improved, or that Zack and his mother would have invited him in their home or shown him that much kindness?

* In the "Save That Tiger" episode, Zack, Slater and Screech mention that one of the pranks that they pulled on rival school, Valley, in their mutual prank war was to pump helium into their glee club classroom. Hopefully, they knew ''how much'' helium to use, since too much is [[DeadlyGas deadly.]]

* This was originally going to be placed underneath FridgeLogic, but one may wonder why Slater and Jessie became a couple even though they are almost always arguing with one another, then it hit me; being teenagers and as teenagers with emotions and hormones, they most likely started dating due to the time spent together in their group of friends and being attracted by their looks (especially him). Also, it's said that although they do have fun together and are close, namely in Slater calling her [[AffectionateNickname "Mama"]], ultimately they found that they had little in common (he's a jock and she's a bookworm), which was the source of a plot of a couple of episodes (like "Breaking Up is Hard to Undo" and "Cut Day" with the latter being the one where they break up for good).

* In "Earthquake!", if Tori was her sister's coach when she gave birth, then why did she let ''Zack'' deliver Mrs. Belding's baby, even after getting over her initial fear of the said earthquake? She may not have been a doctor, but she would have more experience with a delivery than he would. What if something had went seriously wrong? It's unlikely that even [[TheAce an ace]] like Zack could have handled complications.

* In "Wrestling with the Future", Jessie repeatedly gets rejected from college after college in spite of having straight-A's and being involved in many different school activities, including school president. At the same time, Screech is accepted to all the same colleges and even some he didn't apply for and is as heavily involved in extracurricular projects. It's entirely plausible (if not downright possible) that these schools look at personality as well. Screech, even with all his clumsy awkwardness and BrutalHonesty, is rather laid back and friendly; Jessie is an uptight SoapboxSadie which can rub one the wrong way.
