User Reviews

I loved this show and I always will!!!

Oh my God! Zack Morris had to be the cutest guy to hit the saga of the 80s teen idols. And the fact that Mark-Paul Gosselaar was so young was unbelievable! I've seen almost every episode of Good Morning, Miss Bliss and I have to say, Hayley Mills is terrific in this show. I've seen her as a young a young starlet appearing in movies such as the original Parent Trap (which is just as good as the Lindsay Lohan version). I was a big fan of 60s movies, FYI. And whatever happened to Mikey and Nikki? They were great characters, and they coped well with Zack's antics! An besides, I used to have a crush on Mikey(between you and me, Mikey was way cuter than Zack). At least they didn't get rid of Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies), Saved by the Bell would have never been right without her. Oh, and Mr. Belding too! He pretty much a better father figure on the show for Zack than his own father was in both Good Morning, Miss Bliss and Saved By The Bell. And I'm so mad that they got rid of Milo. He was the coolest. Well, all I have to say is whatever you do, never take Good Morning, Miss Bliss or Saved By The Bell of television, even if you keep showing reruns. Without these shows, you would never know what you can expect in junior high?
