36 Hours… The life span of online news stories, and the length of Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s acting career. I was visiting a close friends abode last night for some leisure chat a hoohak when the movie Dead Man on Campus was in front of us on his television. I haven’t seen this one in a while, probably ‘98 when it came out. It did bring to discussion the where abouts of Mark-Paul and his career, or lack there of as of late. A quick trip to IMDb turned up no recent film but a ton of TV show appearances. I guess he is going back to his roots. Here is a stroll down memory lane for any twenty-something that had eyes and a TV in the 80’s and 90’s.

When I wake up in the morning
And the clock lets out a warning
I don’t think I’ll ever make it on time
By the time I got my books I give myself a look
I’m at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by

It’s alright cause I’m saved by the bell

If the teacher pops a test I know I’m a mess
And my dog ate all my homework last night
Riding low in my chair she won’t know that I’m there
If I can hand it in tomorrow it’ll be alright

It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell.
It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell.
It’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell.

I don’t know of anyone in that age bracket who hasn’t seen all of the episodes (a minimum of twice), including the many hour-long specials. Talk about early product placement, when I say “Zack Morris Phone” everyone immediately identifies this phone, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X. You know what if pretty funny, Saved By The Bell was only produced for 4 yours (1989-93) yet you would have thought it was on for a decade. They sure made some big cash with syndication on that one.
