aloha productive workday

So I think we're all aware of the fact I am more than obsessed with SBTB. The thing that makes me the most crazy are the continuity errors. Today I was watching "Aloha Slater". This episode falls within the early ones where the gang is just starting at Bayside. Which, if you didnt realize...means that Zack used to go to JFK Middle School with Miss Bliss, Mr Belding, Milo, Nikki, Screech, Lisa and Mickey...but then magically moved from Indiana to
Bayside, California. It was pretty cool that Bayside High looked just like JFK. Makes for an easy transition I guess. And how nice that Mr. Belding, Screech and Lisa packed up and followed Zack to California.

So anyway...in these early episodes, Zack loves Kelly, Slater loves Kelly, Zack and Slater fight over Kelly, etc. Slater is an Army brat so moving around is normal for him. His dad comes to speak to Mr. B about Slater's possible move to Hawaii. Zack being the genius and rat that he is, convinces the gang that Slater is dying and only moving to Hawaii will cure him. How do you get him to Hawaii? Why you treat him badly of course...all except for Kelly who decides that she is going to go with Slater...wait for it...and move in with her Uncle who lives in Honolulu. If you recall in later episodes after the first class graduated from high school (1993), the gang went to Hawaii to stay with Kelly's grandfather (Dean Jones--a Disney staple in the 60s from "That Darn Cat!", "The Ugly Dachshund", etc). For years I wondered how her grandfather would have this lovely hotel (The Hideaway) in Hawaii, yet Kelly has never mentioned it...and her family was apparently pretty poor because there were 7 little Kapowskis. When Kelly mentioned her "uncle", this was the first time that I've ever witnessed a mild cohesion with episodes. Granted it was still completely off, but ever so slight the victory. I hate and love the amount of useless knowledge I've retained about this show. I thought I'd include some Hawaiian words that I've picked up from my many stays at the Polynesian Village in Walt Disney World....

Grandfather: Uncle

Success. Grandfather in English is Uncle in Hawaiian. So when Kelly was referring to her Uncle in "Aloha Slater", she actually meant her Grandfather from "SBTB: Hawaiian Style".

Done.
