Mark-Paul Gosselaar Says He Regrets 'Saved by the Bell' Storyline Where ' Lisa Was Kissed 'Without Consent'

He also apologized for “controversial” Saved By the Bell episode where Zack dresses up as a Native American.

Idk why he’s feeling bad about episodes of a cheesy teen show from over 30 years ago.

Attention grab.

Never watched the show, but I enjoyed MPG in that dumb ABC movie ripoff of Groundhog Day, The 12 Dates of Christmas.

He looks like he was punched in OP’s picture.

He’s half Asian.

He should just start a podcast "Shamed by the Bell."

Oh JFC, beware the sex police.

He's trying to cover his ass just in case.

I'm wondering how man years it will take society to get over this paranoia about explicit consent.

20 years from now and they'll look back at us now and shake their heads.

Heaven forbid anything spontaneous ever happens.

I saw a few minutes of a few episodes and he should apologize for the whole series. I also heard there was a Saved by the Bell college years failed series which needs to be apologized for.

He’s certainly kept it tight

Keeps what tight?

Isn't she a right wing commentator on Fox News now?

His physical appearance, you fossil.

R16, perhaps you're thinking of Stacey Dash from Clueless?

R10 cover his ass for what? He was a kid himself and just following the script. I doubt he would be canceled. He was like 14 years old when they filmed season 1.

He knows Lark isn’t Stacey Dash, he just wants to be racist. They don’t even look alike.

Lark has a lot of mental health issues.

Are we supposed to be angry because he’s gone woke or something? Because he was asked about storylines that play differently thirty years later, and he gave two decent examples without getting ostentatiously self-flaggelating about it, like Marta Kaufmann with Friends, the show that made her millions upon millions of dollars.

It’s not like he’s lamenting that they didn’t cast a trans woman of color as Screech, although it couldn’t have been any worse.

The actor who played Screech was beloved among his cast mates and would never have done anything untoward.

He was actually liked by them until he decided to lie about them and try to exploit them for money.

MPG's naked ass in "Weeds":

r15 r17 No dummies, his tight little hole.

I actually admire people more who don’t apologize for stuff like this.

On my show, I told my son to make me pancakes when he wore a bandana. Yes, this happened. DO YOUR RESEARCH!

When I pass by that show on Sunday mornings on MeTV I become embarrassed for those young actors for having to work on that show to make a living. What I find even more embarrassing is the fact that MeTV claims at the beginning of each show that it is "educational and informative". If that's what passes for educational on TV these days, no wonder we are graduating people who don't even know how to write in cursive.

Nobody remembers this guy and this is just a sad way to get his face in print.

The only thing he needs to apologize for is not having Zack suck Slater off in the locker room.

The sucking off did happen r32, sadly it was before cell phone cameras and Onlyfans.

When you look at the number of washed up 90s stars who have gone all Trumpy or anti-vax or Q-Anon or whatever combination - at least this dude is thoughtful about things. While I agree, it was 30 years ago, I'd rather someone who is capable of some introspection than someone telling me to get over it and cry my liberal tears. So good for MPG for at least being human.

He was and still is the hottest fucker. Is Lark still talking to trees?

Any word from Slater?

Weeds?

I regret the gallons of spooge that I came watching Slater in a singlet.

R38 I bought him one with an ass flap in it.

"I'm so excited! I'M SO EXCITED!.... I'm so SCARED!"

R40 Don't worry, I'll just put the tip in.

Let’s get to more good stuff.

R42 The black bar is very generous.

Nothing in the history of television will top this moment.

I'd suck his dick for hours.

R5 I don't think it's half.

His dad was Dutch/German; his mom was Dutch/Indonesian.

R34 it's pathetic!

Liberal men have become so emasculated and effeminate, it's pitiful.

The 'woke' feminazis are running things on the Left -- and bringing down ultraliberal states/cities, in the process.

Women simply CANNOT govern!

R10 is right. After the pendulum swings back, people are going to mock this 'woke' era (late 2010s/early 2020s).

I agree with R34. I'm glad MPG appears to be on the left instead of the right. I saw an interview a few years ago where he said he voted for Obama. Glad he is a Democrat.

He looks great -but what a pathetic statement

R46 yes. He’s 1/4th Asian. Either way he’s part Asian.

His mother is classified as Asian in America.

Shaved by the Bell!

Mark-Paul Gosselaar or Ricky Schroeder? Who would you rather fuck?

MPG team.

He was so beautiful when he was on that awful show. Aging kinda rough.

Do you have to get consent before kissing someone now?

R56 clearly didn’t read the article or ever watch the episode he’s speaking of.

Zack didn’t kiss Lisa spontaneously. He had a bunch of guys kiss her in exchange for money. The character tried to pimp her out and used her in exchange for gains. He now looks back and views this as problematic himself.

Why is DL saying he's attention-seeking? He was on a podcast with other former child stars discussing their shows. What else would he talk about? Keep in mind he has teens and younger kids who have probably seen the episodes and asked him uncomfortable questions, even though he's has nothing to be blamed for. Those discussions are worth having with your kids and, gasp, even discussing them publicly and thoughtfully with colleagues. What's wrong with talking about history?

I especially liked the one where Zack used his power to stop time in order to molest Slater in the shower.

R53 never Schroeder ever.

R57 No I clearly didn’t, but then I never watched any episode of Saved By The Bell.

So then why are you on the thread?

R62 Because it’s not a nostalgia thread about Saved By The Bell? I like MPG, I’ve seen him in other things, and the comment was a current one. Sorry I didn’t know what he was referring to in the episode, what can I say?

r63 Lol. You should ignore the pointless cattiness.

I never watched Saved By The Bell either but I certainly know who's MPG and his statement about consent is something upon which we can all comment. Some of these old territorial DL pissing queens are hilarious.

They need to make the obvious porn spoof "Saved by my balls", where porno!Zack gets out of (and presumably into) trouble through the power of his huge, jizz-gushing balls.

Whether it is satisfying some cum-hungry teacher or escaping the bullies by jizzing them in the eyes - it burnnns!

Did he ever try for a movie career? He has the looks and is a decent actor. I remember almost cumming in my teen pants when he showed his ass in NYPD Blue

He was a tv actor. He had a hard time getting work on tv yet alone films.

Remember that episode of LAW & ORDER: SVU where he played the gay for pay porno actor who had to get his stomach pumped because of all the semen in his stomach? Elizabeth Banks played his wife. One of their better episodes.

I remember his hot sex scene in Weeds where his beautiful ass is poetry in motion, riding the pot dealer

Lischa Turtle! And Schreech!

Poor Lark. How is she doing these days?

R69, I posted a screenshot from MPG's naked ass on "Weeds" at R24. Check it out.

R68 Ugh. Did they really have to make a show about that?

R68 It was just like SBTB: The College Years all over again

R72 a thing of beauty indeed! Thank you for posting!

I think Mark-Paul is terrific. I really do.

Come again? He apologised for what?

I volunteer to eat his ass until he feels better.
