'Saved by the Bell' cast members thought Jessie's unforgettable caffeine-pill freakout was lame

Who can forget that pivotal episode of "Saved by the Bell" when Jesse Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) lost it in Zack Morris's (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) arms while singing "I'm so excited"?

Apparently, November 3 will be the 25th anniversary of the episode that made us all wonder if college (in Jessie's case, Stanford) was worth all the mess we were going through. Thrillist took a deep dive into the episode and looked at all the factors that would have Jesse spinning out and change her from the perfect student to someone just one bad grade away from a rehab stay.

But hindsight is 20/20, and it appears as if select cast members didn't quite see the episode, titled "Jessie's Song," for what it was: an earth-shattering television event.

Don Barnhart directed more than 200 episodes of "SBTB," including "Jessie's Song," and he told the website that some of the cast members were "too hip for the room."

"There were a couple of people who teased her," he said. "They didn't rank on her, they didn't belittle her, but they kind of teased her. Everyone knew there were bigger drugs out there on the market. 'Why aren't we doing a heroin show?' 'Well, we're not doing a heroin show.'"

Clearly, none of the cast members had actually done heroin.
