What SAVED BY THE BELL taught me!

[Catman]

Lisa was the only normal character!

i know. i always felt so sorry that she wouldn't date Screech, but he totally would have damaged her rep.

 

[Catman]

She dated Carlton on Fresh Prince, so you don't have to be sorry.

 

[heypapajinx]

yeah yeah. but Carlton was RICH.
plus, it was obvious by his Carlton dance he knew how to work it.
now the one i NEVER felt sorry for was Urkel.
i wouldn't have dated that tool either

Lisa was originally going to be some stereotypical Jewish girl.

 

[Majik1387]

Zach had one of the coolest superpowers ever.
Come on, you know you wish you could freeze time by saying time out.

 

[Abaddon]

and Screech had latent golden shower powers.

 

[Mister J]

Remember when Screech got all pissy o) when Zack was going to get him some Lisa lovin'? Zack should have beaten the holy hell out of Screech and then tagged the Turtle.

 

[Abaddon]

Lisa had too much sass for him.

wasn't there another nerd girl Screech was into at some point?

Yes, played by Tori Spelling.

 

[Abaddon]

[ComicChick]

Yes, played by Tori Spelling.

Violet Bickerstaff lol

i've just been reminded of the episode where her and screech aren't allowed to date, and they end up singing on stage or something. i wonder if i can find that on youtube

DId anybody else feel sorry for Screech? The rest of the cast didn't seem to like him much [On and off screen].

He explained in interviews the reason for that is that he was the only cast member not playing his age. Which means that the rest of the cast were 14-17 during the show's four seasons. He, on the other hand, was like 11 or 12 when the show began. Which explains why he looked so young during the first season.

As far as ON SCREEN is concerned thats the writers/producers/director fault. During the first 2 and a half seasons Zack and Screech were partners in crime. Which was great for the show IMO. Then, they decided to make Zack and Slater best friends and push Screech to the side and make him an annoying character. And, thats when the whole Screech bashing began! Trust me, I've been watching this show since the beginning and there was actually a period when people actually LOVED Screech. Which makes sense considering that some of the best episodes revolved around Screech. Seriously! Go back to the early episodes. You had Screech getting struck by lightening and able to see the future. You had the episode where Zack dresses up as a girl so Screech could, um, finally get a "girlfriend." You had the episode where Kelly and Screech had a crush on each other. When I was in 1st grade that was the most talked about episode! You also had the episode where Screech becomes Miss Bayside. And, my personal favorite, the episode where Zack throws Screech a surprised birthday party in Mr. Belding's office! And, lets not forget that Screech had Kevin the Robot. We all loved that darn robot. I'm still upset that they got rid of him.

[Road Warrior]

If I ever met anyone from SBTB I would ask them:
1) Any f---ing behind the scenes?
2) Whatever happened to Kevin?!

 

[Catman]

Didn't Zack and Kelly date in real life?

uhhh, YEAH!!
that's because they were all afraid of him.
they knew he could scrap, just look at what he did to poor Vanilla Ice on Celebrity Boxing

Saved by the Bell taught me that a man, who obviously has some Latino blood in him, can convince himself through 20 years of self-denial that the reason for his complexion was because his great grandfather was part Itallian.

Save by the Bell also taught me that said man will eventually confront the truth while living a more liberal life style in college. He will try to learn the language of his people but will give up about a week later because, after all, learning a new languageis "too hard".


TEDDY!

 

[Catman]

LMAO! You can tell the producers screwed up with A.C. Slater. The role was originally intended for a white guy. Fast forward 4 yrs and they had a meeting where they said, "we should probably acknowledge that he's a Mexican."

 

[SamuraiSon6]

i always thought violet was pretty even though she played the nerd, wasnt there an episode where the girls 'fixed' her up...?

 

[Catman]

You liked Tori Spelling?! Yuck!

Or that his cousin is the Ponch...
