They showed a taped snippet of 'his life at home' where he was parked on his couch shoving his face full of junk food. They interviewed his 'chickie' who was a non-memorable, average person who commented on how much weight he had gained since they had been together. I can't imagine what would possess anyone to have to put up with the nastiness that is Dustin Diamond (sounds like a porn name!). Does she have rock bottom self esteem or what? Perhaps she's ripe for a reality show on WHY and HOW she puts up with that moron!
I try to make it a point never to judge anyone up front by their looks but instead by their personality and their actions...but he seems to be presenting himself as pure revulsion covered by skin from what I can see. He makes me lose my appetite!

Well, he may be an angry, has-been a-hole but apparently he's not crazy, because I'm sure Da Brat would kick his butt, and he knows it!

He knows Da Brat will kick his ass hands down. No shame in her game cameras orr no cameras. However, she was telling him the truth at thw weigh in. He does want camera time. I think he wants to erase "Screech" from eveyone's mind. He is going about it the wrong way. I'm also glad K-Lo cealled him out on his failures. She had a lost on a show not failures.

This guy is pathetic.

Absolutely pathetic.

[MotherSister]

Pathetic does seem to be the word to use. It's so obvious that he's only on the show to be talked about. He should've checked with Wendy Pepper first; she could've told him that being a huge tool on a cable reality tv show is not the road to stardom.

This guy is just out of his mind like everyone else said he's just there for the 15 minutes of fame that was tooken from him once Saved By the Bell ended. I really hope he does leave so they can replace him with some other semi-famous person who doesn't act like a complete tool on national televison.

[prhoshay]

Tooken? (Just kidding!)

I was in a rush when I wrote that and my ghettoness got control of me.
Yeah I know ghettoness is not a word either.
I should always spell check my stuff before I post it.

The original "Saved By The Bell" series was never shown in prime-time--it was always a Saturday morning show.

The first "extension" show, "Saved By The Bell-College Years" WAS shown in prime time but the ratings for the show were abysmal and it was canceled after just one season.

The second "extension" show, "Saved By The Bell-The New Class" went back to the Saturday time slot.

There WERE also two made-for-tv movies that aired in prime time.

Actually, the shows that you might see as Saved By The Bell--Junior High Years are actually a completely different show called "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" that was developed for NBC but aired on the Disney Channel when NBC passed on the series. The show was set in Indiana. It was canceled after one season.

NBC liked some of what they saw and re-acquired the show, dropping a couple of characters, adding a couple of characters, ditching the focus on the teacher (and then dropping that character) and moving the whole thing to a brand new school in California...and calling it Saved By The Bell.

NBC made the unusual move of syndicating the show very early--and, to pad out their syndication package, they re-edited the "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" episodes, added some footage to try to explain the continuity errors.

The show remained on NBC throughout its remaining permutations (including the College Years AND the New Class)--never actually being a Fox show at all. However, due it being put into syndication by NBC, some may remember seeing it on a local Fox channel that bought the show in syndication.

pg--Born in 1965, never saw a single episode of Saved By the Bell--seattle

PS--Stand-up comedians CRINGE when Dustin describes himself as a stand-up comedian. He has a horrible reputation. However, he does have a certain notoriety and name recognition, so some clubs do book him.

Less will, hopefully, after seeing his antics on CFC.

For all the other stuff; I stand corrected. I remember "Ms Bliss" (showing my age as my daughter watched this show) and it was actually the pilot for SBTB. You are right (figured it out after I posted) about it being only on NBC.

And I hope you are right about the quote above. Can't STAND this guy!!!!
