You mean AC SLATER presumably shooting his muck up every chuff between takes?

I feel the same about Dustin Diamond's porn career.

Doubled up laughing at that. Wish karma was still a thing on here.

I've a soft spot for the Peter Engel teen comedy shows. Surely, they're all identical - three girls, three guys, one/two of the six must be kooky in some way, plus an adult authority figure who is in many ways just someone who never really grew up OR is stern but has a heart of gold - but they had no pretensions, and were easy viewing for the target audience.



Famous Mortimer

I liked Hang Time because the authority figure was a fella called Dick Butkus. And, one the kids was a Philip Glasser, which would also be the headline if the famous avant-garde composer had one too many down his local and decided to exact retribution for someone eyeing up his old lady.

It was only very recently that I realised that Mr. Belding is a pun.

Hangover TV. Waiting for the kabbadi to start.

This thread brings back troubling childhood memories of faithfully re-enacting Saved by the Bell episodes in the playground. I remember playing AC Slater, despite the fact that I was scrawny bowlheaded blonde kid.


This happened in an all-boys school.

Now there was a show which managed to beat either of them in the sense that it was broadcast a fair amount on UK TV for a period yet probably nobody outside of a handful of 34 year old white men will even recognise its existence.

Joke's on you, I remember it and I'm 35.

It was only one minute ago that I realised that Mr. Bedding is a pun.

Peacock is also bringing back Punky Brewster. The trailer looks awful.

Passed the UK by, that one, to my knowledge. I only know of it through references in other media.

petercussing

Nah, it was in the UK, or at least the cartoon, cos i remember thinking it's was a funny/stupid name as a kid and have been mildly fixated on it since

PowerButchi

Yeah, I used to watch it on Sky One in 1991 or so.

Yeah, Punky Brewster (the live action one) was on British telly, though I could have sworn that ITV showed it rather than some channel on Sky... and I just looked on Wikipedia and found this link, which shows I was technically right:

QuoteDepending on your viewpoint, this was either a ghastly, sickly-sweet, cheaply made sitcom of the worst kind, or a harmless slice of apple-pie America. Most adults tended towards the former view, which is why (in London, at least) ITV scheduled Punky Brewster on Saturday mornings.

It was bloody awful. Way less worth watching than Saved By The Bell, due to dangerous levels of mawkishness. LWT never had much luck with imported kid's programmes, other than Hanna Barbera Smurfs cartoon.

Gulftastic

Ah, in that there London. Never made it this far North I think.

olliebean

Anyone watching/watched this, then? It's been available for a couple of weeks or so now.

cakeinmilk

Yes! It's genuinely funny and the new cast are all fantastic. Such a welcome surprise. Just the right mix of the returning cast too.

The only awful thing is the new theme tune.

dead-ced-dead

I haven't seen it but the consensus seems to be, "Blimy! I wasn't expecting that to be... good, yet here we are."

thr0b

The new theme is very odd. It's not in a style that Ver Kids particularly listen to, so why not just use the original, which was in itself deliberately sung in a very 50s/60s style?

I'll get around to watching them at some point - they've been downloaded and ready to go for a couple of weeks. So far I've only watched the opener of the first episode, which is about as perfect as an intro to the new version it can be.

if there was knobs going in and out I might be interested

FUCK

Famous Mortimer

I finally got round to watching it and it's great!

mippy

I'm still waiting for the Pugwall reboot.

Shaky

This is getting a (c) slating from lots of fans who don't seem to understand or appreciate the wittier, more meta approach.

And fucking hell, I had to look up the "Belding" pun to get it!

Only cos you're desperate to hear some sweet Orange Organics music, oh and because nobody tells you what to do, no, not you.
