Slater's Army brat pathos was only delved into seriously in one or two episodes. The episode "What's My Zip Code?" being the one most fans will remember.

What most do not know however is that Sam Bobrick (series creator) and Scott Gale (who wrote the theme music) wrote a script for a feature length film about Slater and his Army General father (played by Gerald Castillo) that revolved around the last 48 hours before Slater arrived at Bayside.

The film was to have been shot in real-time (which could have been one of the reasons financing was never secured) and featured a five minute underwater fight scene between Slater and an offshore whaler who had kidnapped Slater's father.
