Saved by the Bell

Show generally

Question: In the very beginning of the series Zach, Lisa, Screech and Mr. Belding all live in Indiana and attend the same junior high. Somehow they all end up in Malibu, California attending the same high school. Does anyone else find this a little odd?

Answer: The show that took place in Indiana that you are referring to was titled "Good Morning Miss Bliss." This show only lasted one season. The kids on the show, however, were popular so they decided to create a spin-off titled "Saved By the Bell," that aired on Saturday Mornings. I'm sure they changed the location because they thought the California setting would make the show more fun and watchable for pre-teens and teens.

Question: What happened to Kelly and Jessie in the episodes with Tori? Can someone explain what went on there.

Answer: As far as I can tell Jessie and Kelly decided to leave the show because their contracts were up and they wanted to pursue other things. But there were still episodes of Saved by the Bell left to tape so Tori came along to fill that void. Jessie and Kelly were supposedly still at Bayside, but they were "off-screen." The Graduation episode was filmed before Kelly and Jessie left the show.

Question: During the opening credits, each main character is shown briefly in 3 sets of one second scenes from different episodes while the actor's or actress' name is shown. I've seen all the episodes these brief scenes come from except one... the first of 3 from Kelly (where she's waving her fingers). I've never been able to find this brief scene in any episode. Anybody know where this scene is from?

Answer: I think it's called Fatal Attraction when Screech and Zack overheard Kelly say she wanted to go to the dance with Zack.

No, that wasn't it. I saw that "fatal attraction" episode and she did THAT wave in a classroom. The one in question was most likely at the Max and she had a different outfit as well. I believe in reviewing the show it was in a scene from the episode "King of the Hill" from the first season because her outfit and background match, but her "waving" was not seen - possibly a cut scene at the last minute.
