Alternate Versions

Several episodes of Good Morning, Miss Bliss were added to the "Saved By The Bell" (1989) syndication package. They feature a new introduction and closing by Zack Morris (who is reflecting on his years in Jr. High School) and some scenes are shortened or edited out to account for the time used by the new introductions as well as longer commercial breaks.

User Reviews

Compared to Saved by the Bell

I watch Saved by the Bell every morning, and for a while, I noticed that there was no Slater, Kelly, or Jessie. And that's just weird. Because Saved by the Bell always had those people, and this show, called "Saved by the Bell" did not.

I really didn't enjoy this version. There were two students who didn't even make it to the actual show, and that's lame.

Anyway, it's 7AM, and I'm missing Saved by the Bell, the one where Kelly has to pick between Zack and Slater to take to the dance (It's a pretty old one, Slater just showed up at Bayside yesterday), so I have to go.

What do you all think of this show as it related to the actual show Saved by the Bell, you know, the one that got super popular in the early 90s and that we all grew up on?
