...because we're (about to be) Saved by the Bell.
On November 25, NBC's streaming service, Peacock, launches the next generation of television that's so bad it's good. Friends, I give you the trailer for Saved by the Bell 2020.
Zack Morris is now the Governor of California (and married to Kellie Kapowski), and he's implemented a new education reform program that brings underprivileged kids into overprivileged schools to create new opportunities. A.C. Slater returns as a Bayside physical education teacher (the first words of the trailer? His "Hey, Mama" to Elizabeth Berkley's Jesse Spano). Belding is gone, but in his place, the genius comedic stylings of John Michael Higgins, slumming it far from his superb work partnering with Christopher Guest, et al.
Alas, Dustin Diamond didn't make the cut. I expect him to crash the party at The Max at some point.
I'll be live-tweeting right along with you guys over the Thanksgiving Break.

Yep, I'm in.
Pity about Screech.
The thing is, if he hadn't written a tell-all book and then retracted it and done a sex tape and then retracted it and generally just been a bitter, nasty dude, they would have loved to have had him on board. And he surely would have dropped the nothing he was doing and gone all in. I'm not saying it's an easy existence being the dude who played Screech and washed up at 20-something, but he did go scorched earth. Pity.
pls let's not forget his Celebrity Boxing prowess
I think he'd have been okay with just that. He was just trying to make a buck alongside the other folks in his situation (Horshack, Danny Bonaduce, Todd Bridges, etc.)
I dunno. This seems like something that we'd have been ok without.
Just one guy's opinion. That guy just happens to have exquisite taste.
so this is real?
i can't recommend all 54 tracks of this tom petty reissue enough. all 54. and I'm usually not even a fan of the double album.
it's a crazy story

one of the few times rick rubin was wrong . . .
it's real, and it's spectacular, dave
Trying to weed out Mike D, and Navarro as a Chili were others.
I never liked Saved by the Bell, even in a "so bad it's good" way. Won't watch a second of this.
Felt the same way about Full House, although Lori Loughlin did ignite some feelings for me.
just realized that we blew past 2019's total postcount early this month. increased volumes of our crap content is yet one more reason 2020 sucks. well done, lads and ladies.
This Snell decision is hopeful the all-time “what the fuck was your data-loving ass thinking” moment that MLB needs to dial down its love of (and adherence to) analytics.
Yankees pulled a dumbass move with a “fake” starter in a game vs the Rays. And now Cash will eat shit all winter b/c of Snell.
baseball analytics is similar to poker. over 100,000 hands, you'll always be on top if you play the game 'correctly'. over those 100,000 hands, you'll suffer some shitty beats, but they won't be nationally televised. the rays have been very consistent in their application of their analytic process, and it's been successful more often than not. right now, we're looking at one moment that's a very public bad, bad beat. doesn't mean the process is wrong. but it's fair to argue that cash should've been allowed a bit more gut instinct on a night when his pitcher was dealing.
This is fascinating, particularly the part where you look at photos of refrigerators and guess how the owner plans to vote.

Wait, a higher postcount is a reason 2020 sucks?
We have also already topped 2017's output. We have our sights set on besting 2016, which would make 2020 the highest postcount since 2015.
I consider this a very good thing in a very bad time.
When the elders around here went to W&M and lived in the fraternity house, there was no cable in it. Medieval times, I know. We were relegated to affiliates of CBS (channel 3 on your 19" tube television), NBC-10, and ABC-13. Oh, and two independent stations, WTVZ-33, which ran FOX shows, and WGNT-27, which had mostly The 700 Club and Gunsmoke. Can you imagine? The horror! The horror!
So alas, we watched Saved By the Bell when it came on. It beat Sally Jessy Raphael and Geraldo. (But not Donahue!) We created drinking games and enjoyed the idiocy that was SBTB.
We didn't have cable either. When we arrived in 1992, the school proudly touted it's updated telephone network, aka Aspen, the Voicemail System of the College of William & Mary(TM). This system was so advanced that you couldn't get online with it circa 1996. You needed a digital-to-analog converter (not a typo, digital-to-analog not analog-to-digital). Predictably, the school had only 68 of these things and Comp Sci majors automatically got first dibs. But it's an awesome place to get an education.
It's should be its. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten in as an initial matter.
The College of William & Mary... not cool enough to add ONE more digital-to-analog converter.
We got cable the spring of my junior year...one night, it just...appeared.
I only lived in the house with cable for two months. I think we came back from spring break '97 and those boxes that had been on the wall all year were finally live.
I did not feel like it enhanced the quality of fraternal life.
i'm suggesting that foisting greater volumes of dipshittery on the world isn't great for the world, whit. it's awesome for us. we're great. really great. now that i think about it, the world needs more of us. so disregard. more volume from us is a societal benefit. it should be subsidized by the government. we should lobby for funding. someone get on that.
Amen to that. Who among us hasn't had a stressful day and then turned to Gheorghe & the gheorghies for something inane and stress-relieving? We should be FDA-approved. This blog is a cure for COVID, or at least better than hydroxychloroquine.
I also agree with Rootsy that cable in our rooms would have been a detractor from the ridiculous but memorably fun silliness that we engaged in whilst in undergrad.
Who needed cable when 303-Frat existed or was it 301-Frat. Memory not so good these days.
Just 30Frat, Squeaker.
cliffy fixing that antenna. epic.
30Frat seemed to become a worse idea for it's inhabitants as the year progressed.
We had Marls keeping vampire hours our year. He would disappear for days on end and then end up on the recliner randomly some afternoon.
The TR family finished an epic monopoly game tonight. The kids responded well to a “no screens” policy we adopted for the night. Amazingly, they decided to form an alliance against their parents mid-game. They quickly built a hotel empire and squeezed us out.
Of course, once the game ended and we declared them winners, they got into a huge fight trying to divide their empire. Good times (mostly).
I just remember that the W&M movie channel had the rights to one film those first few months. The Teej took to calling it The Primal Fear Channel.
They probably showed that movie 690 times in a four-week window.
