I remember Dustin Diamond (Screech) was on CMT's Celebrity Wresting last year. It was funny, because he's still this skinny little geek but he has this goatee now and he thinks he's a badass.
 
Another show I like is, "Deadliest Warrior" on Spike. They have these people come in and use the weapons of the best warriors (ninjas, samurai, trojans, vikings, etc) on ballistic dummies that record the force and they evaluate the armor, weapons and training and they enter the data into a computer program that simulates who would win if those people fought each other.
I find it pretty interesting.

He was also on some celebrity boot camp show, he challenged the former Marine drill instructor to a fight. I thought that guy was going to lose it on poor Screech.lol. The marine had to be restrained.

LOL...Not surprising. If Screech got up in my face, I wouldnt hesitate to pimpslap him.
Fighting skinny little guys like that is fun because its not even a challenge. :D
 
By the way, Dustin Diamond is a black belt in some form of martial arts.

I didn't know that annoying people to death was a division of marital arts.
 
Fringe is actually pretty good. Ive only watched it a few times, but its pretty good. It remind me of, "The X-Files".
I watched Dollhouse this past Friday and it wasnt bad either.
 
Have you guys ever read Dustin Diamond Wikipedia, the thing was totally written by himself.

Two-time Emmy Award winner Bea Arthur dead at 86


Bea Arthur, the actress best known for her roles as television's "Maude" and the sardonic Dorothy on "The Golden Girls," has died of cancer, a family spokesman said Saturday.

She was 86.

Spokesman Dan Watt said that Arthur died Saturday morning at her home in Los Angeles, her family by her side.

She is survived by her sons Matthew and Daniel and grandchildren Kyra and Violet, he said.

No funeral services are currently planned, Watt said, adding that the family asked that donations be made to either the Art Attack Foundation or PETA in lieu of flowers.

Arthur's opinionated Maude first appeared on Norman Lear's "All in the Family" as Edith Bunker's cousin, and was so popular that Lear created a spin-off series.

In the '70s, "Maude" was ahead of the social curve, tackling hot topics not usually mentioned on situation comedies -- pornography, race relations and, in an episode titled "Maude's Dilemma," abortion.

That episode spawned demonstrations and generated hate mail for Arthur -- when Maude and husband Walter (Bill Macy) decided on that episode they were too old to raise a child.

But many saw Maude as an enduring icon for women's liberation -- a big deal for the shy, Jewish girl born Bernice Frankel in New York City.

During the Depression, Arthur's family left the Big Apple and opened a clothing store in Cambridge, Maryland. By the time she was 12, Arthur was nearly 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and self-conscious about her height.

But she masked her insecurity with comedy and eventually returned to New York to study acting. Along the way, she had a short-lived marriage she never spoke about, but she kept the last name -- Arthur.

The young Bea Arthur earned a living singing and doing stage work on Broadway and off-Broadway. Critics delighted in her haughty, serpent-tongued deliveries.

Her first television appearance came in 1951 in a long-forgotten series called "Once Upon a Tune," but she quickly made a name for herself with appearances on "Studio One," "Kraft Television Theatre" and "The Sid Caesar Show."

Arthur drew attention in "Threepenny Opera" on Broadway with Lotte Lenya, but she really turned heads in 1964 originating the role of Yente the Matchmaker in "Fiddler on the Roof."

In 1966, Arthur won a Tony Award for the caustic Vera Charles in the play "Mame," playing opposite Angela Lansbury in the title role. Eight years later, she reprised the role in the film version opposite Lucille Ball, but by then she was already well-established as Maude.

Arthur left "Maude" in 1978, making television and some film appearances afterward. She starred in a short-lived series, "Amanda's," in 1983 and then joined the cast of "The Golden Girls" in 1985 with Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty.

Her role as Dorothy Zbornak gave Arthur her other major television success as one of four older women living together in Florida. (Getty, the youngest of the four, played Arthur's mother). The role earned Arthur a second Emmy -- the first was for "Maude."

Arthur left the show after Dorothy remarried at the end of the 1991-92 season. White, McClanahan and Getty continued for another season on the show, renamed "The Golden Palace," but the show lasted only one season without Arthur.

Arthur entered semi-retirement after the show ended in 1992, returning to television in sporadic guest appearances and appearing at several celebrity roasts. In the early part of this decade, Arthur appeared in several one-woman shows.

Her last stage appearance was in 2006. Her last television appearance was on "The View" in 2007.

Wow--she was great, but it's hard to complain about going at age 86.
 
God Speed Bea Arthur. Did anyone catch when Jeff Ross made fun of her at one of the roasts? That was some funny stuff.
