Were you in your pre-teens during the early 1990s like me? If so, you might have hurried home every day to see the only show in which a guy with a mullet could be one of the most popular kids in school. You might have watched as a character high and addicted to caffeine pills sang “I’m So Excited” in what may be one of the cheesiest scenes in television history. You could have seen the episode where one of the characters inexplicably gets a 1500 on the SAT’s simply because some hot girl was sitting in front of him while he took the test. You might have even laughed at a flash-forward scene in which one of the characters announces that they’re going to an “Old Kids On the Block concert.” But perhaps one of the most memorable characters you’ll think of was a curly-haired geek named Screech.

Well, if you are one of those early-nineties pre-teens who watched Saved By the Bell religiously like me, and you’re still living in nostalgia, then here’s your chance to do some good: ‘Screech’ Hopes to Be Saved by the T-Shirt:

More than a bell is needed to save Dustin Diamond this time around. Diamond, best known as geeky Screech Powers on the 1989-1993 teen comedy series “Saved by the Bell,” is selling T-shirts with his photo on them to try to raise $250,000 so he doesn’t lose his gray two-story house under a foreclosure order.

“If the public didn’t care, I as an entertainer wouldn’t have been a success,” he said.

Diamond, 29, is trying to sell nearly 30,000 shirts _ at $15 or $20 (autographed) each _ to supplement the income he makes as a standup comic so he doesn’t have to move from his Port Washington home, about 25 miles north of Milwaukee.

You can buy the t-shirts over here. This is what they look like:
