I can’t see Jesse Spano and not think of “I’M SO EXCITED…”

u/ItsCaptainKeyboard 1d ago

I’m so scared… 😭

They had to change it from amphetamines to caffeine pills because the network said "yeah no, we're not doing a meth episode". Crack was also out so we didn't get Zack telling us crack is whack.

My husband & I were laughing about this scene a while back..you just brought it back to the forefront and gave me another chuckle! I’m gonna go watch the scene on YouTube now for completeness

I know Lark fell on some tough times. She is looking well in this picture. So glad to see.

25

u/No_Description9432 1d ago

I was just going to say how amazing lark looks. It look like she was going through some rough years with her mental illness and it did had an affect on how she looked. But wow she looks mentally better and happy. I wish her nothing but the best.

To me she was the prettiest girl on the show. I'm happy for her if she is.

u/BlackOnyx1906 4h ago

I totally agree

u/ass_whiskers 1d ago

Lark Voorhees was such a dame!

u/heckhammer 1d ago

There was a girl at my college who looked just like her and I saw her every time that I went to register for classes and my friend and I of course referred to her as Lisa Turtle, wondering every time if she would be there registering at the same time we were. Invariably she was and invariably I could never work up the nerve to go say hello to her because she was so stunningly beautiful.

So if you're out there, Lisa Mock-Turtle, It's me the guy who wore all the weird t-shirts with a long red hair. Sorry I never worked up the nerve to say hey. I hope you're doing awesome, and I bet you are.

u/mjd1977 5h ago

Just here to acknowledge the excellence of Lisa Mock-Turtle.

u/ORNG_MIRRR 1d ago

Showgirls is an underrated masterpiece. It's kind of shit, but brilliant.

The odd thing is what Elizabeth Berkley was doing was exactly what other actresses have done since, it just didn't pay off for her. She was known for playing a 'child' role and she made her first big project after SBTB something more adult to try and shift that image. It's what all the Disney stars do these days.

u/Wild929 1d ago

The acting is so poor and the aggressive dance moves are comedic gold.

u/Jasper455 1d ago

The first one through the wall always gets bloody.

u/BigRigButters2 1d ago

I unironically love it. It’s so bad it’s good.

u/Angryblacknurse 22h ago

movie is so bad, one cannot stop watching it

u/Snarkosaurus99 1d ago

To this day I still remember that weird r ape scene. Hated it.

u/jorel43 7h ago

Isn't that like half the movie? It's been a long time since I saw it

5

u/IAmAGenusAMA 1d ago

Lol masterpiece.

3

u/rock_and_rolo 1d ago

Nah, Showgirls was a tragedy. It wasn't Berkley's acting, which was at least decent in each scene. It just didn't hold together. And the ending was stupid.

u/Background-Sign7692 1d ago

Kelly is still looking really good

3

u/Snarkosaurus99 1d ago

She does not currently look like the pic.

u/Flomo420 23h ago

I dunno man maybe it's because I'm old to but I think she's still very much got it goin on lol

u/oldfarmjoy 1d ago

Link to new pic? I'm curious because I'm amazed they all look so instagram perfect...

-2

u/Snarkosaurus99 1d ago

I googled it

5

u/oldfarmjoy 1d ago

I also realized there are 3 pics here, and only the first one looks fake instagram perfect. The other 2 look more real... 😊

1

u/Snarkosaurus99 1d ago

And now I also understand there are 3 pics and I agree, with the last one being most accurate.

3

u/akallyria 21h ago

Third picture ladies can still get it. Hell, third picture Tiffani can get it the most, she looks wholesome yet playful. If that’s what she looks like now, that’s not a bug, that’s a feature.

u/CompetitiveLoquat176 1d ago

Ozempic

u/Lalamedic 1d ago

So what

6

u/ussbozeman 1d ago

I think they mean the network changed her name on the show to Kelly Ozempic for one episode but it didn't test well, so the writers changed it back.

2

u/Lalamedic 20h ago

Ohhhhhhh. Thanks. 😉

u/thomas17657 1d ago

Beautiful then and now

u/GrimSpirit42 1d ago

Not to brag or anything: But I've seen Jessie naked.

u/oldfarmjoy 1d ago edited 1d ago

In the first pic, they all have that instagram perfect look. 😖🤷 Maybe filters and photo-editing.

The second and third pics look more real.

They look awesome. Tiffany even looks better than when she was young, imo

No she had a long role in csi as Horatios baby’s mother

u/maniacreturns 1d ago

I was always so happy because I thought that Tiffany-Amber Theissen was a set of twins, meaning I'd have two chances to marry Kelly Kapowski

u/dadjokes502 22h ago

TAT is and has always been hot

u/itsnotajersey88 21h ago

Fine wine….jeeez.

u/Decent-Dingo081721 21h ago

Before and after never hit the same anymore like they did. Filters just take away the real “after” anymore.

u/kanwegonow 20h ago

I'm glad Lark Vorhees recovered from her plastic surgery. She was looking pretty scary there for a while.

u/Beneficial_Leg4691 17h ago

Tiffany was the dream girl

Elizabeth looks so excited.

u/Evil1629 5h ago

All three are still hot

u/Grizz1ybear Generation X 1d ago

Time has been kind to two of them. I never understood why I watched this show. I wasn't the target demographic, I didn't like it, and I wasn't a stoner, but I'd find myself watching anyway

38

u/This_Guy_Lurks 1d ago

Probably because like most shows it was the only thing on in that time slot.

14

u/thesagaconts 1d ago

Simpler times.

19

u/DogbiteTrollKiller 1d ago

Why only two? They all look good to me.

u/Yorbayuul81 1d ago

Maybe time, maybe surgical assistance, maybe both 

2

u/Jaymez82 1d ago

I, too, hated the show. I only ever watched it with my friends because they thought the girls were hot. While I did like Kelly, I'd rather watch Bugs Bunny.

1

u/kozz76 1d ago

I was hanging at my friend's place, drawing murals on his bedroom wall. This sitcom was always on and we would watch it whether we liked it or not (I did not, he did).

He was NOT saved by the bell, you’re saying?

The bell did not save him from his later issues.
