Saved by the Bell: Difference between revisions

Originally the show was intended as a [[The Parent Trap (1961 film)||Hayley Mills]] vehicle ''Good Morning Miss Bliss'' (1988-1989), featuring the lovely Ms. Mills as a teacher in a Junior High School dealing with her quirky students, among them Zack Morris. Though an NBC pilot, the network rejected it and the [[Disney Channel]] picked it up instead. It was not a success, but the series found its way back to NBC and was given a drastic [[Retool]]. Miss Bliss and several other characters were dropped (only Zack, Screech, Lisa and Mr. Belding made the transition), while focus was shifted to the students rather than teachers. The name of the school also changed from John F. Kennedy Junior High to Bayside High, but this is possibly less of a mystery than the school's unexplained move from Indiana to California.
