Gary Beach on Saved by the Bell?!

Posted: 1/15/06 at 9:16pm

Ok so I saw this episode the other day and it's when the school orders their class rings and guess who plays the sleezy man Gem Diamond that sells the Saved by the Bell gang the fake rings that make their fingers turn green? That would be our own Gary Beach my friends! Who knew?

I Love that show!
I was Asst. MD for a summer stock production of My Fair Lady and our director was one of the dorks in the episode "Snow White and the Seven Dorks." HA

I always get a kick out of seeing Gary in that episode. Its one of those "I met him!" kinda things.

Ha - I am ashamed as both a Saved By The Bell fan and a Broadway fan that I never realized this before...

His Saved By the Bell guest appearance had me rolling on the floor the first time I saw it, especially that suit he wears.

If any of you watch Arliss (I believe it's on ESPN), there's an episode where Gary Beach plays an evangelical preacher. Priceless.

Was your director one of those recurring dorks? The one with blonde curly hair with thick black glasses or the black one with brown hair and the voice that sounded like he had a frog in his throat? Lol only dorks I remember.

Ah I remember that episode with Gary Beach! Of course I have every episode on DVD.

I can't believe Gary Beach was on SBTB!

Ohh I'm not so mad at myself, he was in the Tori episodes--never liked those much, so didn't watch them as much as I did the others. Still cool though.

I think I'm the only kid who lived through the '80s/'90s who did not watch this show. re: Gary Beach on Saved by the Bell?! I would love to see Gary though, sounds like a really fun episode!

Saved by the Bell was the shiznit. My fave episode would have to be when Jessie gets hooked on caffine pills. Because of that episode I now know the dangers of caffine pills. I mean look what happened to Jessie...she bombed her SAT's and her worst fears came true, as she was rejected by Stanford. And she was last seen trying to make ends meet by stripping in Vegas. And it all started with those pills....tsk tsk tsk

Saved by the Bell is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. So corny and stupid - I love it! It's funny how they treat words such as "dork" and "jerk" as if they were seriously vulgar curse words. I have the first 5 seasons, plus the college years. I want to get the New Class just for the hell of it but it def can't beat the original class!

P.S. It was weird how during the Tori episodes there was no mention of Kelly and then didn't she later appear in a couple of episodes? I dunno if they incorporated the story of her going to Paris into the episodes she didn't appear in...or did they?

P.P.S Why during that stupid battle btw the boys and the girls to get the check for sports...why couldnt they just split the check evenly.

Sorry for the threadjack!

Bwaybaby109, that was such the "very special" episode of Saved By the Bell. I especially loved it when Zack confronted her at the end and she said she could perform and started singing, "I'm so excited" and breaking down while she did it. Ah, yes, memories of my youth!

Didn't Kelly come back for the graduation episode?

I was never a fan of Tori either. My favorite episodes were the ones where they worked at the Beach Club- with Leah Remini and Ernie Sabella (!!)

I'm kind of ashamed I know this, but they had originally completed the entire run of the series and had the original cast graduate. The ratings were still so high though that the producers decided to do one more season. Becuase they decided to add more episodes so late in the process, Tiffani Amber-Thiessen and Elizabeth Berkley had taken other jobs and weren't available. That's where the Tori episodes fit in. They were just inserted as filler and that's why there's no mention of Kelly or Jessie made and why Tori doesn't show up at graduation.

Kelly and Jessie didn't "come back" for graduation, the producers just showed the graduation episode out of sequence.

ahh it was my favorite show. I sadly own the dvds... but i have to say, Snow White and the Seven Dorks was my favorite episode.
Ah, memories! I think the first one i saw 'in real time' was when the group did the whole Anti Drug commercial (I caught onto the show late, but saw them all on repeats after)

The show is one of my guilty pleasures, along with Full House. It's more for total nostalgia that I watch both. Ah, to be back in the carefree childhood days.
