Day 28 - First TV Show Obsession - Saved By The Bell

[snogged]

Saved by the Bell was not the first show that introduced me to fandom and fanfiction. That honor naturally goes to Buffy as I remember spending study halls in junior high/middle school with my friend, Rachel, filling notebooks with the stories we created.

It was the first show, however, where I can distinctly recall obsessing over Mark Paul Gosselaar. I spent countless hours during my pre-adolescent/teen years cutting out his picture from such popular rags as Tiger Beat and Teen People. It was also the first show where I had the whole theme song memorized and I remember wanting so badly to be part of their gang.

ETA: I completely forgot to mention that my dad met Dustin Diamond (the guy who played Screech). Apparently, he's quite the haunted house enthusiast and he came through the one that my dad helps run every year.

There's something really adorable about the idea of you watching Saved by the Bell.

Then I suppose you're going to want to see THIS!

Holy cow, that man has aged well.

OMG!

That excites me. Especially since I actually watch Weeds.

Dude. I'm super hoping you saw it when Zach was on Jimmy Fallon... So hilarious. I can't find it like ANYWHERE now or else I'd link it.

yeah. LOVE THE BELL MAN!!! LOVE IT! That SHOW. KILLS me. "I'm so excited... I'm so excited... I'm so... SCARED..."

Seriously. It was such crap and I just LOVED IT!

Oh gosh, I love your icon! Robin Hood is one of my favorite Disney movies!

I've had this icon forever. I can't get rid of it because it cracks me up. :)

Damn, I think I missed that one.

And yeah, it really was crap. *thinks of the Snow White parody they did*

He MPG came on the show as Zack Morris. It was fucking hysterical. He had the high top shoes, the giant cell phone, the hair... the "Time out" and OMG to die for. You might be able to google it from home as there are a lot of sites my work blocks.

I'll see what I can find.

I remember seeing that, it was pretty hilarious. Here's what I could find, though apparently NBC has since taken the clip off of their website.

OMG, you are young, aren't you? LOL

Mine was The Partridge Family. I'm OLD.

I'm apparently only a year older than your daughter.
LOL.

If this is supposed to be making me feel better - it isn't. LOL

It's not. *g*
