What happened to Indiana? No explanation episode.


There was no explanation episode. It goes from the mentor episode right to bayside. Was it just one of those 1st to 2nd season changes that happened.

Miss Bliss sucked so bad, they erased it from existence. SBTB as we know it started in 89.

Yup, Zack talked Screech into making an invention to erase Miss Bliss and transport them to California

So there was none then, they just revamped it.

Well way i see it was originally intended to follow Miss Bliss's class and use the show as a vehicle to showcase young stars, you can kinda see this in the pilot which had a young Steve Urkle and Jonathan Brandis but Miss Bliss was just like....Well a teacher.

So they decided to just make it the "Zack Show" and needed to spice him up a bit, make him a cool surfer dude from California with an insanely hot girlfriend and a jocky rival. They wanted Zack to be a true California kid and not a new kid from Indiana so they just changed it with no explanation

I got this from a post on Good Morning Miss Bliss

Well... this is the truth.

Miss Bliss had a torrid affair with Mikey a la Mary Kay LeTorneau. Nikki found out about it and told Mr. Belding. Miss Bliss went to jail for second degree rape of a child. Mr. Belding resigned in disgrace and after a short stay in a mental institution... he put his life back together and reappeared in California... the Nut State! Nikki became disillusioned with the United States and defected to the Soviet Union and thats what happened. There is an unaired episode of "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" entitled "This Is How The Sh*t Went Down" and it explains all of it.

All this needs is an appearance by Stevie and we're good!

I don't believe it happened.

reply

That's just crazy. You would think that type of affair would happen first in California, and not in a decent apple pie state like Indiana.

reply

have you ever been to Indiana? it sucks, lots of unattractive overweight people eating fried foods. they slather mayo and melted cheese on everything and then deep fry it and say it is good.

reply

California is a cooler setting compared to Indiana.

The Miss Bliss season was more or less an overall elongated pilot for what ultimately became Saved by the Bell. Also, once the original version was cancelled, no one knew if it even was going to be revived.

When there's no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.
