Anyone else watching this series? I am watching the Dustin Diamond episode right now.
Holy crap Lisa Lampinelli looks amazing these days. I would not have recognized her had no one said who she was.

I've only seen the Farley episode and to be honest, it didn't exactly cover anything that wasn't widely known

I didn't start watching the second season of Dark Side of the 90s until recently... so I didn't realize it's a thing. I will watch them all when they get on Hulu streaming (last time I checked, it wasn't available yet).

Haven't seen them but if it is like the Darkside of the Ring and Darkside of the 90s there won't be any info in it I haven't heard.
Loved Darkside of the Ring but most episodes had nothing new in them to me.

Only watched the Farley and Andrew Dice Clay ones. Surprised the Clay one didnt discuss him getting banned from MTV or his brief attempt in the mid-90s to change his image (there was a sitcom in 94-95 called Bless This House where he played a father, really weird to see).

Not surprised Crappants journalist is one of the worst in his field. |

Pretty good spinoff so far. Definitely felt the Artie Lange and Dustin Diamond ones were especially rough. Next week is Greg Giraldo so it doesn't get much better.

With how much darkness there is in comedy between excessive drug use and comedians being especially prone to mental health problems, this could be an entire anthology.

Dustin Diamond was a stand up comedian?
I think it's a stretch to say that was what he was known for...and I'm not even counting Saved By The Bell.

The special is mostly on Saved and everything after, but yes, he was a Standup Comedian and not very good, mostly because he just tried to be more vulgar but would lose his cool any time anyone mentioned Saved by the Bell. |

If they make a season 2, I would like to see eps on:
Gallagher
Jim Varney (nothing too dark there, but there may be some material, maybe pad it out with the attempts to keep Ernest alive after Varney's death)
Paul Reubens
Cheech and Chong
The 1980-81 season of SNL (though it would be hard to do without Charles Rocket)
Is Bill Cosby too obvious?

Yes, I'm watching this. Enjoyed the series so far, but didn't like the Diamond episode, probably because I'm an old and never found him funny in any of his endeavors.
