A Saved by the Bell Tale

I was out with my peregrine falcon "Twitterbug" hunting rabbits and she turned to me and said "Screech!" so we had a little conversation about Screech from my all time favorite middle school through college dramedy Saved by the Bell, which is partially ironic because there are no bells in college.  And most bells, even when it was in it's prime during the early 2000s, were actually just tones played through the speakers.  But that's not what made the show magical.  It was the magician who owned The Max, the popular hangout for the Bayside Flamingo kids.  Good ol' The Max.  What a cool local hangout place that must be, were it an actual place in the physical world.  That's what I love about Qdo--I mean, that's what I love about Saved by the Bell, it was an escape from real life, even though it tried to be real life.  Because no popular kid like Zach Morris is going to continually hang out with a loser like Screech for all four years of high school especially when Screech wrecks everything, regularly.  My favorite part in the entire series is when Zach Morris looks into the eyes of Leah Remini, future star of King of Queens, and says "We'll always have Maui" and then he gets on the plane back to bayside.  But what's even more moving than this saga is the fact that the movie "A Knights Tale" was so bad, Sony Records had to invent a movie critic to say good things about the movie.
