Saved By The Bell on....Adult Swim??? - Page 3

Oh man I forgot about the "Police Academy" cartoon. I could go on forever about that one but I think IMDB poster Indyfan82's decription is far better than any essay I could produce:

Who the fuck is the Professor? I don't remember any professor hanging around Commandant Lassard in the movies. Was that the name of Lassard's goldfish? No matter, there was an animated version of Proctor and that alone makes the show a valuable contribution to "Police Academy" lore.

I only wish Tackleberry had passed before that show aired. He did not deserve to see his memory disgraced like that.

Moltisanti, you are a God among men. Well, internet-men.

Thank you for coining my new favorite oxymoron.

A new sig is in order.

So, do pot heads like Saved By The Bell now? I don't, although there is something mildly fascinating at how fake the show is. It, in no way, resembles a real high school.

Still... this is a lame move for the Cartoon Network. There's still plenty of worthy animation on adult swim. (I'm a fan of VB, ATHF, GITS: SAC, Harvey Birdman, Boondocks and Samurai Champloo.) This is even lamer than when MTV moved away from showing videos. At least they had new programming to show.

The slo-mo negative/discolored bumpers creep me out.

That was the highlight of the night for me. I knew that they wouldn't go the first night without showing Jessie feeling the effects of the evil caffeine pills.

Plus, did anyone catch the bumper that played before the show? It was an email with someone bitching about Saved By The Bell wasn't a cartoon, so CN should change the name of the network.

So during the show, instead of [adult swim] appearing at the bottom of the screen, it said something like [crappy 1980's live action TV show network]. Kick ass.

At least they acknowledge that they're fucking retarded.

I came home from work last night to my girlfriend watching Saved by the bell......She was all like "look saved by the bell is on adult swim, Isn't that cool".....at that point I realized that our age difference was gonna be the death of me.

I just clicked over and saw the whole gang singing and making a CD.....needless to say I went to something a little more edgy.....the food network.

I like the clothes they wear on SBTB, AC Slater rocking his patented stonewashed black jeans with an elastic waistband and elastic at the ankles too with a tucked in tank top that even a gay bodybuilder wouldn't wear, and of course the gheri curl mullet. Zach's massive hightops with bleached stonewashed jeans is pretty solid too.

Yeah, the color-scheme of the early-'90's give me a headache.

Friends Forever!

I can't believe I used to watch this as a kid.

one of the bumpers made fun of saved by th ebell being the third highest rated show after family guy and american dad last week. They mentioned Full House being next. Its getting better and better!

Full house?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

yep there is no question about it.....adult swim is dead.

Saved By the Bell is the cancer. Full House is the death kneel. Step By Step is the funeral.

So what will Small Wonder and ALF be?

the zombie corpse coming out of the grave to feed on our brains.

Saved By The Bell on Adult Swim? Just a hoax.

Aw, those pranksters. They're precious.

Actually, Family Matters is the zombie corpse rising from the grave. Alf is fabfunk getting it drunk and fucking it.

So, last night's episode was one of those great staples of 80s sitcoms: A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE! Yes, it seems that Zack, Slater, Screech and Lisa go to a toga party, get wasted and then drive drunk. Ultimately, an important lesson is learned by all!

What the hell happened to VSEs? In the 80s, we had (1) Tom Hanks chugging vanilla extract and smacking Alex P. Keaton around, (2) Kimberly going to France and returning crazy bulimic, (3) Dudley getting felt up by the bike store guy, (4) Natalie getting raped while dressed like Charlie Chaplin, (5) Tootie stalking Jermaine Jackson, (5) DJ Tanner exercising and starving herself so she could fit into her new bathing suit for the big party, (6) Nancy Reagan crashing the Drummond's penthouse to teach them to "Just Say No," (7) Kirk Cameron declining to snort a tight white rail at a cool party, (8) Kirk Cameron battling racism at the local Quik-E Mart, (9) Alex P. Keaton's best friend getting killed in a car crash and Alex going into some sort of fugue state, (10) Chandler Bing, Carol Seaver's boyfriend, drinking and driving and dying, (11) Jesse popping caffeine pills.

It's all a rich tapestry of important life lessons! And what do the youth of America have to teach them those lessons? Certainly, not their parents. We need Very Special Episodes. We need Saved By the Bell. Now more than ever.

They should run a VSE marathon, I'd watch the hell out of that.

I'm trying to add to the VSE list and I'm drawing a blank, I remember Chandler dying in a drunk driving accident and APK's friend too, but somehow I can't picture the one where Kirk Cameron and Boner turn down blow. I know, that sounded pretty gay.

You're forgeting the VSE of The Hogan Family (I think this was post-Valerie) where Jason Bateman bought condoms in anticipation of a sure-thing sexual encounter, said condoms were discovered by a parental authority figure, who expressed shock, lectured him, but ultimately trusted him to make his own decision. Then Bateman ended up turning down the ass.

I was 11 and I knew that shit was whack.

I was in third grade when it was on and I remember all of our teachers really hyping it: like, oh, Growing Pains will be just the thing to break through to these poor, poor children! And I'm not sure, but I believe that the show has Kirk Cameron breaking the (is it?) the 4th wall and addressing us viewers directly... the party's raging and Boner agrees to go into the bathroom to snort up and, suddenly, everybody (except Kirk Cameron) freezes, leaving Cameron to sort of address this soliloquy about peer pressure and drugs to us kiddies. It was quite touching, really.

I was unaware of this VSE. You see, the grief at the death of Valerie Harper's character was too fresh for me to bear. And the terror of Sandy Duncan's roving glass eye, when combined with this grief, simply precluded me from watching "The Hogan Family."
