Spin-off of: "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" (1987-1989)
"Saved by the Bell" and its short, but prolific, four-year run wouldn't have existed had it not been for "Good Morning, Miss Bliss."
The teen sitcom, picked up by Disney after an unsuccessful NBC pilot, was set in Indianapolis and featured future "Saved by the Bell" characters Zack Morris, Samuel "Screech" Powers, Lisa Turtle, and Mr. Richard Belding.
"Good Morning, Miss Bliss" was soon restructured as "Saved by the Bell" — a sitcom about the students at Bayside High School. The set was relocated to Los Angeles, and characters Kelly Kapowski, Jessie Spano, A.C. Slater hopped on board.
