saved by the bell, in countless efforts to prevent teens from doing silly things like drinking and/or taking drugs, has unwittingly provided me with a reliable and constant source of laughter. aka jesse spano on pep pills. she's two-thirds excited and one-third scared:
oh and does anybody remember that show california dreams? the synopsis according to wikipedia reads: "california dreams is about a multi-ethnic group of teens and their band. the show's plots combined real-life issues with zany adventures. it covered a range of topics such as fear, using drugs for a competitive edge, falling for scams, letting greed overtake friendship, accepting a divorced parent dating, forgiving others for past wrongs, and dealing with general teen social problems." so basically it sucked pretty hard, but it was in that TNBC block on saturday mornings so i guess i watched it by default. thanks, quinn. i definitely remember watching the steroid freakout episode as a child. that's probably why i won the DARE anti-drug campaign contest in fifth grade. no i'm not kidding. i wrote an original poem about not doing drugs and then read it in front of the whole school. i still have it but refuse to disclose the embarrassing (but really advanced and spectacular) content at this time. anyways, watch at 1:09 for the 'roid-rage blow-up. very reminiscent of the real housewives of new jersey:
glad to see the war on drugs of the nineties was in the hands of nbc saturday morning television. that was a nice little "there's no hope with dope" campaign they had going. can't speak for the rest of america, but i can safely say that it kept me drug-free and off the streets between the ages of five and eight.
