E! will re-air E! True Hollywood Story: Saved by the Bell this weekend, which originally premiered back on Dec 1, 2002. These documentaries normally reveal their subject's scandalous and racy pasts. But, you will not find that with SBTB's. Originally, this special was supposed to air as part of E!'s TV Tales, a series that told the history of classic sitcoms. But while in production of the BELL version, the series was cancelled. Instead of scrapping all of their hard work all together, they decided to change some graphics around and air it as a E!:THS.
Secondly, in reality, a E!:THS of SBTB would have never really met their criteria of racy and scandalous story telling because there really isn't much trash to dish (contrary to Dustin's book of lies). So, that is why some of you might be expecting it and will be disappointed after you watch. We were lucky this even made it on air!
Lastly, I was contacted by E! to use my SBTB memorabilia for their shoot. A lot of what you see, (books, scripts, fan mail, etc) belong to me. So, here's a fun fact: yours truly is in the credits! :)
To catch this special again or to watch it for those who have never seen it, it will re-air on Sunday, Dec.19 at 7AM on E!.
