HaHa








Sometimes it is so fabulous to know that I am not the only person thinking something.


So with too much time on my hands, I tried checking out Yahoo! On the homepage is a link about "Saved By the Bell." If you haven't heard Jimmy Fallon is trying to get the actors together for a reunion on his late nite show. So far, Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins), Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies), and AC Slater (Mario López) have agreed to the reunion. Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaa) ris scheduled to be on the show tonight, so let's see what happens. After that Samuel "Screech" Powers (Dustin Diamond), Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) and Kelly Kowpowski (Tiffini Thiessen) will be the hold outs.

(Sidenote: I really like Jimmy Fallon. He's such a geek. And that is why I like him.)








Also on the Yahoo! page are stories about two other tv shows "The A-Team" and "Facts of Life." The writers from getback.com commented about each actor and "Where are they now?" Well first up for "Facts of Life" was Kim Fields. And in her little bio was the line "Five years after "Facts" wrapped in 1988, Kim joined Queen Latifah and Kim Coles in the cast of another popular sitcom, 'Living Single,' FOX's African-
American answer to 'Friends.'"




The million dollar question: How can "Living Single" be FOX's African American answer to "Friends"? "Living Single" first aired in 1993 and "Friends" followed one year later. So what show is really inspired by the other? This could be a mute point, but what Yahoo! posted and claimed as facts brings up a couple of things.




First, do you your research before you start claiming the sky is purple when it's really blue. Second, hire an editor. The third thing is so simple, look it up. Looking up this info on these two shows would have taken like five seconds. Some people are just ill-equipped to writers. Just because you have something to say does mean that people need to follow you.


So this was general point about this topic. I was planning to go the web site to bitch and moan. But some people had already beat me there and I was truly truly happy. Supposedly, the writers have corrected the situation, but it hasn't happened on the Yahoo! page yet.
