They are selling the DVD's in HMV for £5.99 (pre-sale price!) containing three great episodes!
Well the great bit is debatable. But I bought a copy so I can recapture the feeling of my mispent youth that saw me fake illness inorder to get out of going to church so alternatively I could worship at the alter of Peter Engel Productions. Bowl of Frosties in hand and covered in my duvet!
It wasn't exactly a triumph in comedy terms but I loved it and the original line up, before the fecking new class arrived was less mawkish and had merely a moral high donkey rather than the moral high horse later series developed. Its ace!

Zack made me gay. There is no doubt in my mind.
(OK, Jesse Spencer may have helped me along a bit, too)

I loved Saved By The Bell!
I loved how They never had the same teacher twice, I loved how there was only ever 10 people in the school at anyone time, and I love how the extras drafted in to be Zack or Slater's girlfriend were never seen again. I also loved how there was no extras for anything else and how they never paid for anything at The Max.
But I was confused about how Jesse Spanno just dissapeared and then manly Tory appeared, leather clad and carrying carpets.

Jesse Spano went on to BE 'Goddess' Nomi Malone and get her fanny out for Charlotte from Sex & The City's ex-husband whilst being electrocuted in a swimming pool. Hence why she wasn't in the final season. My all time fave episode where Jesse became addicted to Pro-Plus for all of 5 minutes. Queue erratic outbursts and mass bouts of fainting. So well acted. Its hardly ever repeated. Perhaps because it's so near the knuckle.

Perhaps because it's so near the knuckle. It was the best when they attempted to deal with "issues". My favorite was the one you mentioned. They treated it like a proper crack addiction. And the one where Jesse was worried because she was really tall. Because it was some kind of problem.

Other Real Issue episodes of note I remember are the ones which featured a protest (of FOUR people) because of oil, and also where some kid was getting laughed at for being dyslexic, although I think he was cured by the end.
Oh! And that time Slater found a spliff in the boy's lavs and everyone nearly died of shock.

I was always a fan of Jesse's high waisted 501s teamed with her array of waistcoats. So chic. As if that whore Kelly ,who was boffing some 30 year old in the Max, could have won that modelling contract when Ms Spano was sashaying down the corridor s of Bayside High.

(OK, Jesse Spencer may have helped me along a bit, too) I'm sure Jessie Spano had some involvement in turning you as well. She did look like a horse with a horrible curly mane. Though it was fabulous when she went from being Jessie the hardcore feminist to Nomi the stripping, drinking, minge-teasing, Trey-from-Sex-And-The-City-Shagging, Las Vegas dancer in the space of a couple of years. And also, I have never seen the episode where Slater found a spliff. It must've never have been shown on Nickelodeon due to the serious issues and the drugs and all.

HA! I loved this one. When those American shows deal with "issues" like this, it's always so ace. Another favourite:
"Guys, I think Slater has a drinking problem!"
Sniff. Then their time was up, and that stupid New Class came in, and it was never the same, even though they had Mr. Belding, and for some reason managed to trap Screech in school for another 30 years after he should've left. Or, err, something like that.
I loved how Zack would turn to the camera sometimes and break the fourth wall. What a little cheeky chap he was.

Having read that article, it all came FLOODING back. What a brilliant piece of drama that episode was.

Over the weekend there was a load of stuff in the papers about Leonardo Di Caprio being bottled and there was a load of the usual "life off screen being almost as action packed as his time on screen",(I suppose this means in real-life he's also been caught in an event that caused a bigger loss of life than the sinking of the titanic) but there was also a load of vague mentions about him being sued by Jessie Spano.
Well the actress at least. Anyone know what thats about?

Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is set to testify in a $US45 million ($A70 million) lawsuit stemming from a five-year-old case that alleges he ordered friends to "kick the ass" of actress Elizabeth Berkley's ex-boyfriend.
Thats what I found on google. It would have been more hilarious if the ex-boyfriend part was left out.

Haahaa! Leonardo DiCaprio and Elizabeth Berkley in a fight. It's tough to choose someone to back, but I'd go with him. Heh. That's odd though. Was it in a "oh, dude messed around my good friend Liz! Kick his ass!" sort of way, or a "that's guy's an asswipe. I don't care who he's dating, just kick his ass!"
And how pathetic is that anyway? Not that I'm a supporter of violence or anything, but he couldn't even beat the guy up himself.
Is the guy who played Slater gay in real life? I thought I heard that somewhere.

I loved it when they wrestled in Saved by The Bell. I'd sit there in my lounge wear (shorts and t-shirt) trying to hide the biggest erection ever.

Match over in two seconds, Slater always won. And then there was that episode with the girl wrestler (SBTB's attempt at being PC) that Zack dated. I hated that episode. She was another of Zack's girlfriends that disapeered after that one episode. Plus I know i've watched two many episodes of SBTB when i'm trying to remember "Zack Attack" songs. There's another classic "so shit it's good" episode. It wasn't ever them singing though, was it? I think the only one actually making any real noise in the Zack Attack songs was Slater because he could really play the drums.

I think the only one actually making any real noise in the Zack Attack songs was Slater because he could really play the drums. Zack Attack - which was so egomaniacal incidently - had this song which was went along the lines of 'How am I supposed to live without you'. Michael Bolton may have covered it. They were due to sing it at one of their daily school dances but Kelly was shagging the old bloke in the Max and Zack couldn't perform. Slater and Jesse 'Goddess' Spano had to step in. Lisa had one of those ace keyboards that you hold like a guitar. I think the moral of the story was in the song title. So subtle. Anyway, there was ANOTHER Zack Attack episode set in the future where they had all fallen out. Kelly was nowhere in sight as far as I can remember. She may have caught herpes and died. Zach had been modelled into some comedy Vanilla Ice figure with gold spangly jumpsuit slashed to the navel, big yellow hair and a 'bling' dangly cross earring. As always with SBTB he saw the error of his ways and went back to being with his friends losing out on billions of money. Fool. I got a Zack Attack tshirt off 80stees.com. I feel like such a groupie. On a side note, I never understood why Mr Belding always took summer jobs like at that beach club and some ridiculous sweet shop in the Mall. Were times really that hard? Did he have to feed Mrs Belding's crack habit? And totally off topic, how amazing is Jesse's hand swooshes in time to the music in Showgirls?

Mr Belding needed those jobs so he could give comedy advice and keep the actor employed. (I think they only did 'The New Class' so he could keep his job.)
The whole teachers-turning-up-in-random-places is brilliantly parodied in Strangers with Candy, incidentally, in the episode where Jerri is trying to avoid re-losing her virginity. (All the virgins get to wear cherry badges with pride.) When she goes to the pizza place with her date, the teacher who started up the Cherry Club is working there, because, "Teachers don't make that much money, you know." It is also plainly obvious that she is having hot sex with the pizza guy, who keeps making pairs of buttocks with pizza dough and slapping them suggestively.

One of the things I always remember about Saved by the Bell is that one of the few extras that actually appeared more than once or twice was Brigitte Sampras as Ginger, who was abit of a brilliant character.

That is ace. Made even more ace by the fact that Le Tigre's version of "I'm So Excited" is playing over it. I really hope a few people have ventured to the Zack/Slater fight as well. I watched the whole "The Mamas and the Papas" episode (the one where they have to pretend to be married for a school experiment) last night. EDIT: Forget all those, watch this! Jessie's dancing more like a horse than Beyonce!

Zack made me gay. There is no doubt in my mind. (OK, Jesse Spencer may have helped me along a bit, too) There is a GREAT episode of Law & Order SVU where they find Zach in the alley behind a gay bar, unconscious with his ass bleeding and covered in semen. They first suspect he was raped, but he admits later that he was doing bareback gay porn to support his wife and kid.
