Just a Note…on Saved by the Bell

On Friday, my dad took me to the movies. We saw A Serious Man, which was, by my calculation, the most Jewish movie ever. It was fantastic, and a full review is forthcoming. But not tonight.

Last night, my dad asked me a question about Saved by the Bell, and my ability to answer it completely was surprising and a bit disturbing. The question was "Who from the show's cast are people most familiar with?'

He asked because Tiffani Amber Thiessen is on a show we've both started watching, White Collar. Her role, though small, recurs in every episode, and is vastly more normal and mature than anything else you've ever seen her in, which makes sense, considering her past roles. When he asked me if I knew who she was, I responded with (inappropriate) shock. Of course I knew who she was! Give me a break, Dad! Oh...right. You were born before 1976 and thus lack the capacity to care about Saved by the Bell.

Back to the question. Based on his numerous hosting jobs (on Extra, some MTV shows, and several big beauty pageants), my initial response was Mario Lopez. Mark-Paul Gosselaar (sickly, I spelled that right the first time) was on NYPD Blue and currently stars in Raising the Bar, so he seemed like a contender, too. And then there's Thiessen, with her stint on 90210. And she was in The Ladies' Man.

Then it hit me. This was a trick question.

The most famous member of the cast of Saved by the Bell was only in 3 episodes.

The answer is Tori Spelling.

wow! really the creativity of the people who create the tickets is amazing, sometimes we citizens do not value the work that has a ticket for this reason I want to emphasize this, some creations are spectacular.

For me it is a pleasure to comment on a blog like this, to me personally I liked very much reading, I agree with everything they say the above comments, I think if every day items like these appear in the network, I would sit at my computer reading these articles.

"I sought to show the changing balance of planes - from anti-ship torpedo and dive bombers in the early days when the main objective was destroying other ships - to fighter planes, whose main job was to defend against the kamikazes in the final months."

Max, Midway is pretty much the final act of anti-ship carrier warfare, right? If you follow Keegan and Churchill, it's the critical turning point in the Pacfic war - there's a wonderfully readable description of Midway in Keegan's The Price of Admiralty.

After only a few weeks, I've found a number of things wrong with the Palm Pre I posted about back in September. I know, I know, I switch phones a lot and have been pretty impatient the last few years with these sorts of things, but I really made a bad choice with the Pre. Initially I was OK with how cheap the phone appeared to be because of all of the webOS features, and the speed that I got from Sprint's network over AT&T. But that waned quickly with the other things that started cropping up. Sure, the Sprint network was better than AT&T, but it still sucked at home much of the time, and at work as well.
