Saved by The Bell Only Exists Because of Another Sitcom Disney Canceled After 13 Episodes With The Same Characters

Before Saved by the Bell became a hit, a show called Good Morning, Miss Bliss first appeared on the Disney Channel on November 30, 1988. It followed a junior high class taught by Miss Bliss (Hayley Mills), and featured early appearances by familiar faces like Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies), and Screech Powers (Dustin Diamond)—even Principal Belding (Dennis Haskins) was on the show! Although it was canceled after only 13 episodes, the idea wasn’t completely abandoned.
