I’d give Larry that one. I think I saw Meat Loaf on the Mike Douglas show a long time ago and When Mike started talking to him he called him, “Mr. Loaf.”

This is correct, there is no one like her.

The MTM Show is my favorite series of all time but ... Cloris was 94! Sorry for her family but life goes on ... and she was 94! Yet this little exchange left me scratching my head:
Big Jimbo:
W.B.:
Colinu:

Maybe Screech and Arnold Horshack can now have a rematch.

I guess I am too old to appreciate who Screech is.

I haven't seen a single episode of the show, but I've read his autobiography, as it was notorious for its baseless allegations and self-aggrandizement tales, stuff that even Steve Hoffman would be ashamed of. The guy was the youngest cast member, he played some nerd, and he never accepted that older teens preferred to hang out with other teens of their age. Hence some recollections of his co-stars that border on revenge fantasies. And he managed to keep hitting rock bottom, including a sex tape where he may have simply provided the voice, with a male talent, face never seen, being his body double. Plus an arrest for assaulting someone at a bar with a knife. In the last few years, it looks like he had finally managed to clean up his act, then he was hit with stage 4 cancer. www.avclub.com/dustin-diamond-s-behind-the-bell-1798226153

And that Jesse Spano (played by Elizabeth Berkeley) had the most comical and hamfisted don’t-do-drugs-kids storyline. No wonder she went on to play the lead in Showgirls.

By the early 00’s, I discovered that pop culture was beginning to pass me by.
Even though I still took part of the conversations in the break room at my company, the talk of “nostalgic” shows like Saved By the Bell and Inspector Gadget made me realize the folks who were coming of age by the mid-to-late 80’s, were no longer of my generation.
(This is a roundabout way of saying I have no idea who Screech was, and the fact he was already 44 makes me feel old...)

(This is a roundabout way of saying I have no idea who Screech was, and the fact he was already 44 makes me feel old...) Without wishing to further rub salt in the wounds, it's interesting to see the actual US air dates of stuff like Saved By The Bell because it was a summer holiday morning TV staple of the early 90s*, and a lot of the episodes had aired maybe a year or so by the time it reached the UK. We were definitely still watching what felt like new episodes in 1995 when the whole thing had wrapped up two years before. It's hard to believe now that there used to be such a gap, but even the daily episodes of Neighbours, which was probably the most popular TV show for a few years (it had the peak TV slot of weeknights 5.30pm-6pm on BBC1), had aired months before in Australia. I guess pre-internet it was still necessary to physically send a copy of an episode from one side of the world to the other. Same with The Simpsons. We didn't get it in our regular terrestrial TV until 1996, seven years after it aired (though it was on cable, which explains why Do The Bartman still got to number one in 1990). *Trying to remember what else we were treated to during this time, the only thing that stands out is Step By Step featuring Patrick Duffy

I didn't watch it, but I had coworkers who did, and I'd hear them talking about Christmas episodes in July and how they were all afraid to go to UK Corrie sites for fear of spoilers. Olympic years where the show would be put on hiatus for games coverage just added to the delays. I guess they've caught up because looking it up now we're only a week behind.

The new season of Hell's Kitchen premiered a few weeks ago and when I went to find the first episode I discovered the entire season had already aired internationally months ago. And so I did what any reasonable person would do, and binge watched the shit out of it.
