Twenty years after it all began, the cast of Saved By The Bell has reunited on the pages of the new issue of PEOPLE Magazine. When the cast of “Saved by the Bell” assembled for this week’s PEOPLE photo shoot and cover story, everyone breathed a sigh of relief-including Mario Lopez, who nearly missed the whole thing.

TV Ad Man Billy Mays

In a week unusually rife with celebrity death,Farrah Fawcett , Ed McMahon -a little spooky to note that the king of pop, Michael Jackson,and the king of pitchmen, Billy Mays, were born within about six weeks of each other in 1958.

Mr. Mays, who was found dead this Sunday, June 28th 2009, by his wife in their Tampa, Fla., home, was one of the loudest and, perhaps as a consequence, one of the most familiar voices on American television.

One tweet notes, “He was the only human that was allowed to speak entirely in CAPS LOCK.”

80’s Saturday Morning Cartoons

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Saturday Morning Cartoons in the eighties.

Whether we were going through a D&D hangover or suffering video arcade
withdrawal, Saturday mornings in the 80’s hooked us UP.  There we sat
in front of our Smurf menagerie, sucking down the cereal tie-ins,
trying for TWO solid sides on the cube, and humming “Bouncin’ here and
there and everywhere!” over and over and over til it was time to head
off to the new mall and beat that high score.
