    I disagree. I actually really really like the script. At the time and in many films you didnt see people being so real like with it being about getting into dancing though in reality there is a lot of skankiness going on and it's almost like the same thing as stripping which is frown upon.
    Showgirls is well made. The direction is outstanding. Verhoeven is a great director, all the way back to his Dutch movies. The script from Joe Ezsterhas is a bit wank, though. He couldn't write a likable character if his life depended on it.
    I think the later vanished not out of choice but because for some stupid reason they werent casted and I blame that a part on the agent. I think screech is the only one who couldve been type casted but he wasnt even that. He was never given another shot and it's not like the actor didnt want it.
    Yes what happened to Diamond's career is unfair. He was a very good actor on the show, he clearly had talent, and deserved to get some good roles after SBTB like Mark, Tiffani, Mario and Elizabeth did. He didn't deserve to vanish like he did. Maybe he should've tried other things than being in new class, which sucked.
    There are so many crap nowadays and mostly that could barely be watched once that is so successful that is really sad, cringe, and depressin
    I agree 1000%.
    When you watch something good, be it TV show or film, it's because the writers, director and actors are all on the same page. There's nothing a show can do when all these things don't work. Things are crap nowadays because there simply are no talented writers, directors and especially actors anymore.
    I can always sit back and rewatch almost anything even if it sucks and have a really good time, learn, and reflect. I think that's a sign of greatness. I really think rewatchable stuff has a strong appeal even if it's not epic or great but Saved by the bell is so highly rewatchable
    Same here.
    The reason why SBTB works is because the writing and directing are on song, and the actors, Mark-Paul especially, are very talented. It means you can come back to it time and again and it still fresh. It still works.
    Im surprised at times how short saved by the bell is because it felt a lot longer. The number of episodes.
    True. They ended the show at its peak. They had to, which is funny, with them all reaching 18.
    it's so out there and that it's about not getting it and trashing it for no good reason than probably to get views.
    Yes, it's trashed by a guy who doesn't grasp the concept of the show. When you start taking Zack seriously, you're missing the point and you shouldn't watch the show with your ****ty taste.
    d. Like one of there critiques is his bullying of screech but I never really saw that. Now, im going to go long. In school, I was literally Zach and I had good friends who I used to push around like Zack but it was for fun and I never took it too far and I always picked them up and helped them whenever I could and I was close to them and we used to make a ton of pranks. It was all in gist and just pranks.
    That is absolutely absurd that the guy thinks that Zack bullied screech. Unreal.
    It's only bullying if screech is being victimized. When did Zack victimize Screech? Screech is a willing participant in everything Zack does. They're friends. He laughs it off when they rag on him, it's all playing around, nothing malicious. It's a different matter if screech gets upset, but he doesn't.
    There was no bullying in SBTB. Anything who thinks that there is, is a ****ing idiot who should go watch drake and josh.
    Then one teacher said that I was a bully and that my friend had issues at home and he liked being bullied because he had issues at home. I was like wat the ****. I never bullied him and she couldnt differentiate between horse playing and rough housing but playing around than actual bullying. Many times these friends of mine asked me for advice, help, or protection and I never hesitated to do so. I know it meant a lot for them to ask me and we were pals that just horsed around and had a good sense of humor. That same teacher also once tried to say that fake wrestling(wwf) all the guys used to do in school like us were fagot **** and we were gay for doing so because only fagots like to grapple other men. I was like what the ****.
    I understand what you are saying. I don't think you were a bully, you were just playing around. This stuff happens all the time when you're young. Don't worry about it. There's a fine line between playing around and bullying. The fact that you know that you meant no harm, it means you never bullied anybody.
    Teachers have favorites. They will favor certain students over others, they will favor girls over boys etc. They can have agendas, and abuse their power. They can be a pain in the ass.
    If you don't mind me asking, what country are you from? Your teacher sounds crazy. They'd be fired where I'm from.
    I dont know if you read it. I didnt remember reading that part and it probably was true but I cant remember th

        Agree, and I know this has been blown out of proportion but I actually always liked his name and thought it suited him well, being a kid at the time I didnt think anything of Racism.

          Ac stands for Antonio Cordero. Slater is simply the name of his white prick step dad.
          I hope your concerns have been addressed.

                Because his character was probably meant to have a white father or grandfather. I always thought Slater was half white/asian. He certainly looks it.

                    Yes, he reminds me of Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett who's half white/asian.

                      yea ac had the hair and the skin. I never thought he looked a 100% Hispanic. He might have some white in him. He looks a lot more white nowadays than the AC days which to me is a shame because we have a lot of people that look like that but nobody looks like AC which is a shame.

                        The key to AC working is his race doesn't define his character. Mario's good acting performance defined the character and the writers/directors got the best out of him.

                          I 100% agree which is why I never thought much of the name but that it was cool and that he represented hispanic well because he wasnt necessarily completely white nor hispanic.

                            Yes that's true doesn't look totally white or hispanic, that would've helped take the focus off his race and put the focus on his acting which is why slater was cool.

                              The intials AC couldve been anything but sounded cool and Slater just sounded like Slayer which went with him which was bad ass. Had he had some typical latin name it wouldnt have elevated him as much as a bad ass.

                                        Slater was originally supposed to be an Anglo-American. The producers hired Lopez and portrayed him as a typical American kid.
