Lisa takes up after her mom in many ways. Lisa does volunteer to help sick people at the hospital her mom is a doctor at. Lisa is the gossip queen, and even runs a gossip show on Bayside’s school radio station. Lisa also works as a phone teen counseler for troubled teens on the school’s teenline.

Lisa provides a sense of diversity to Saved by the Bell that few preppy shows that have followed have. She is the ultimate black princess which prevents the show from falling into the realm of just another white preppy show as Beverly Hills 90210 is.

Dislikes: Zits, and Screech. Screech she can’t stand. She once agrees to go out on a date with him, but then Screech decides she talks too much and doesen’t wish to date her again very soon

Achievements; Heading the Fashion Club, Running the Prom Committee, volunteering to help sick people in her Mother’s hospital.

Lisa enjoys fashion, and often heads the prom committee. She once maxes out her credit cards a bit too much while on a shopping spree that went to far. Lisa constantly fights off Screech’s advances, but ultimately gives in and allows Screech one date with her. Screech grows tired of her constant talking during a movie and dumps her. Lisa it seems can not stand being dumped by anyone even Screech.

The James Wilson Law has been bothering us a lot recently. You know, the law that states that an ensemble cast of a TV show must have a Jewish character.First, we failed to find a Jew on "Scooby-Doo" (see Velma Dinkley). But that's a show about talking dogs that solve real estate scams. All credibility goes out of the window right there.

But where is the Jew on "Saved by the Bell" (because nothing screams credibility than a show about five ultra-popular kids hanging out with a dork and a principal)?

It's not the dork, Screech (see his profile). It's definitely not Zach or Slater. We'd love to have Kelly, but she's a braindead cheerleader. (Wait, why did we say we'd love to have Kelly? Oh yeah... Tiffani-Amber Thiessen. That's right.) Lisa is black. And Jessie, although played by a Jew (see Elizabeth Berkeley), is as WASPy as they come. So that leaves... nobody.

No, it's not because she is one of those rare occurrences, a black Jew. It's because Lisa was supposed to be Jewish: a fashion-obsessed J.A.P. with rich doctor parents. It's just that when Lark Voorhies auditioned, she won over the producers, and Lisa became black. Still obsessed with fashion. Still with rich doctor parents. No longer a J.A.P.
