Like most 80’s babies, I grew up with Zack Mor­ris and the rest of the Saved by the Bell crew. I fol­lowed them all the way to col­lege and  watched every spe­cial episode. I can’t say that I had a huge crush on Mr. Mor­ris. He was cool and I would def­i­nitely grab a burger with him at the Max. If I had a crush on any­one, it would be A.C. Slater oh A.C. and his yummy muscles.

The Saved by the Bell crew has now moved on and so has my crush on Mario Lopez. I still can’t deny that smile but some­thing about him just turns me off. While he’s all smiles in front of the cam­era, I imag­ine he’s not all that nice in real­ity. I could be com­pletely wrong but he seems like a diva. Diva on a man is in no way attractive.

So, last year I replaced my crush on Mario Lopez with his for­mer costar Mark-Paul Gos­se­laar which was easy with his new show Franklin and Bash. Franklin and Bash are a lawyer team who use uncon­ven­tional ways to win cases. After being on their own for so long, they are now part­ners to a larger firm. To add in some con­flict, 2 of the 3 part­ners are plan­ning their end at the law firm.

Last night I couldn’t help but lust over Gos­se­laar, who plays Bash, as he walked up the stairs to the court­room. I gasped when he pulled his jacket back to expose his must-be-tailored white shirt. I imme­di­ately texted Bear and apol­o­gized for lust­ing after Gos­se­laar. It was that serious.

The role of Bash is per­fect for Gos­se­laar, I’m sorry to say that he’s play­ing an adult Zack Mor­ris. The show isn’t as campy as Saved by the Bell but he essen­tially play­ing the same role.

The schemer

If there was one thing that Zack Mor­ris was famous for it was his abil­ity to turn any sit­u­a­tion into a scheme. While he might not be sell­ing class rings that will turn your fin­gers green, he uses his smarts to help manip­u­lates wit­nesses within the lines of the law  to help win his case. It’s the per­fect job for the for­mer Zack Morris.

The lady’s man

If Zack wasn’t schem­ing he was chas­ing the ladies, par­tic­u­larly Kelly Kapowski. Of course, there was some schem­ing involved in some of his attempts to get a date. In the first sea­son of Franklin and Bash, Bash was heart­bro­ken from his ex-girlfriend but it wasn’t long before he was chas­ing after other prospects.

The phil­an­thropist

Mr. Mor­ris wasn’t all about him­self. While he was look­ing for ways to fur­ther his agenda, he would also make sure to help his friends. Zack has a big heart. Bash and his best bud Franklin also have big hearts. They like to help the lit­tle guy and they use their wits to make sure the lit­tle guy doesn’t get taken advan­tage of in the court of law.

Over­all, I like the show. If I was a lawyer, I would prac­tice Franklin and Bash style. Doing your job with­out tak­ing your­self too seri­ously. Plus, they have some pretty awe­some par­ties. Can I get an invite?
