The never-ending saga of Screech and Lisa.

For the past several months (or now that I think about it, "years" may be more appropriate"), I have been unable to start the day without watching two hours of Saved By The Bell on TBS. Recently, they have added an hour of Fresh Prince of Bell Air following the mini-marathon of SBTB. Naturally, I have been sucked in by that as well (until recently, FPOBA was only a late night pleasure, thanks to neo-nickatnite). So now 3 hours of my morning is swallowed up by late 80's/early 90's comedy. If you're hip enough to be reading this blog right now, I'm sure you can relate to my passion for these TV shows. Something about them instantly takes me back to being 13 years old, staying home sick from middle school, and not worrying about a single thing in the world (well, if you were me and 13, you were worrying about having to change in front of people for gym class, but I'm happy to say I made it through that ordeal with only minimal emotional scarring...I was a fat kid, for those of you who can't remember that far back). I find my morning visits with Zack, Kelly, Lisa, Slater, Jesse, Screech and Mr. B (whom I met thank you...well me, and the entire graduating class of Winthrop High School, 1999 met I should say...he was our commencement speaker, believe it or not) to be one of the only constants in my life, and there's really a lot to be said for that. When things come and go far too easily, it's nice to know that Screech will always love Lisa, Zack will always be trying to get himself out of trouble, Slater will be beating Valley at a wrestling match, Kelly will be cheerleading at inappropriate events such as Chess competition, Jesse will be spreading feminism to the close minded macho pigs at Bayside, and Lisa will be shopping and somehow always ending up with the only other black kid who goes to Bayside whenever they're at a dance.

As a related side note, I was watching a few episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" last night (if you haven't seen this show, i would STRONGLY suggest you watch it, it's hilarious), and Dennis Haskings (Mr. Belding) was in one of the episodes playing an elementary school gym teacher who was being wrongfully accused of Child Molestation (i dunno if that's supposed to be capitalized, but it seemed appropriate, so I rolled with it.) He has gained like 100 pounds, and I almost didn't recognize him. But I still love him, it's allllll good. He was America's principle for crying out loud...he was the Big Bopper!!!!

OK, there's my first blog. I've missed enough of my morning fix...Slater just got offered a scholarship to Iowa to wrestle but his dad wants him to go to Military School of course. I've seen this episode 50 times, but I've gotta run, to see what happens :)
