How come all the cool kids like Zack and her off Showgirls hung around with uber geek Screech anyway? As if they'd ever have given him the time of day if it had been a real school.

They'd have been like Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club said to the sports guy about the nerdy guy if the nerdy guy said hi to him at school when he was with his buddies -


"You'd say Hi to him and when he was gone you'd cut him up so they wouldn't think you really liked him."

And the gorgeous Mark-Paul Gosselaar has been in a fair few shows...

'NYPD Blue', 'Commander-in-Chief', 'Raising the Bar', 'Franklin & Bash' and now 'Pitch'.
He was very good in NYPD Blue. And Franklin and Bash was a good show too.
I liked him in Saved By The Bell and I’d still give anything a go that he’s in.

Cant believe how expensive the College Years DVD has gotten.
It was only ever released in the US, and I think it went out of production a few years ago too.
So it’s become a bit of a collector’s item... luckily I bought it when it was first released (for about $25 I think). It’s currently £263 new on Amazon, or £106 used!!!

Alot of DVDs only came out in the US and you can pick them up cheap even though the company doesnt exist anymore.

I wouldnt pay 100 quid for it. Maybe 20 but not as high as it is now.

I’m not claiming it’s worth paying £263 for, or even £106 for. But I think you’d struggle to find it for £20 these days because it’s become somewhat of a collector’s item.
It’s nice that the original series eventually got a full UK release though.
The ‘Hawaiian Style’ and ‘Wedding in Las Vegas’ movies have since gone out of production though, and are also now becoming a bit of a collector’s item.

Did the Hawaii movie ever get released in the UK boxset?

When it originally aired it seemed part of the series unlike the movie which aired years after.

Amazon seems to have them reasonible cheap the wedding is 14.99 where Hawaii is 6.99

In the US, ‘Hawaiian Style’ originally aired as a 2 hour TV movie – but in the programmes original Saturday morning timeslot.
In syndication it’s included in the regular run of episodes – split into 4 individual episodes.
In the UK it has aired both as a 2 hour TV movie and included in the regular run of episodes, on various channels over the years.
In regards to the UK DVD release – no it’s not included in the box sets. It did get released as a single DVD (long before the box sets were available) – priced at £5.99. It’s no longer in production, but is being sold as ‘new’ for £14.99 on Amazon.

In the US, ‘Wedding in Las Vegas’ originally aired as a 2 hour TV movie – in primetime (as did the short lived The College Years).
In syndication it’s included in the regular run of episodes of The College Years – split into 4 individual episodes.
In the UK it originally aired on Channel 4 in the regular run of The College Years episodes, on a weeknight at 6:30pm. It’s since aired as a 2 hour TV movie too, both on Channel 4 and multiple other channels over the years.
In regards to the UK DVD release – no it’s not included in the box sets – much like the entire The College Years. It did get released as a single DVD (long before the box sets were available) – priced at £5.99. It’s no longer in production, but is being sold as ‘used’ for £14.99 on Amazon.

Hope that’s interesting. Not that I’m a Saved By The Bell geek or anything.
