its not saved by the bell. that was the obvious first choice, but, sadly, hes not on that

let's talk about their hair anyway. that Screech guy who was rumoured to be Mike D (of the Beastie Boys)'s cousin had crazy hair. apparently there was a photo of him in Grand Royal once with the legend 'whitey got fro'

half of these aren't really sitcoms are they?

i want my hair more like Havers

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:42 (twenty-one years ago)

yea, it wasnt a sitcom as such, but it was played for laughs, i think. what is this one with the waikiki dad? or is that a red herring?

how very atypical for sitcoms about teenagers.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i think gabrielle carteris aka andrea zuckerman was at least 30, actually.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess you're right, sigh. How could I have been so naive?

― *@*.* (gareth), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

"Welcom Back, Kotter" may be the only example of this genre that was actually funny.

maybe it was a character from Daria?

Blossom (not sitcom, but the alcoholic brother had kind of Nigel Havers hair?)

B-b-but Blossom is one of the few of these that actually was a sitcom.

I didn't mean "not a sitcom". I meant "not a high school sitcom".

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 25 November 2004 08:08 (twenty-one years ago)

did you think about all the iterations of saved by the bell, *.*? cs there was a summer class & a new class (or maybe just a new class) where they went to a beach-house style resort and the boss guy who was the dad of one of the girls was kinda waikkiki (whatever that means)? one of the kids from sbtb:nc had kinda havers hair and look like jackie mcnamara.
