- This is the original pilot of "Good Morning, Miss Bliss", which aired on July 11, 1987 on NBC.
Brian Austin Green was, in essence, the "lead" student in the pilot, as Adam Montcrief, a particularly serious student, who wore business suits.
Several other characters from the series existed in the pilot but were played by different actors; Mr. Gerald Belding was played by Oliver Clark, and Miss Tina Paladrino was played by Maria O'Brien.
Although Hayley Mills was the only actor to survive beyond the pilot, her character in the pilot was named Mrs. Davis.
I've uploaded this because the other copies floating around on the net are very poor quality (even for UA-cam), ie: low frame rate, blurry image...etc.
I've uploaded this video untouched, directly to UA-cam the second I got my hands on it. This is probably the best version that you will ever find anywhere else.
This pilot is extremely rare, as it was only aired ONCE.
Enjoy the Nostalgia. :) - Фільми й анімація
They should've included this as a DVD extra on the Saved by the Bell series boxed set.
Just imagine if this got picked up with this cast. No Urkel, no David Silver on 90210. No Zach, Screech or Lisa.
zachs in this series.. hes starring in it LOL.. his name is still zach too
Lindsay Corson No, this is the original pilot with different characters and a different cast. No Mark-Paul Gosselaar and no Zach. That's why he's... Not, you know, in it.
But maybe Jonathan Brandis would've been more successful and not hung himself. Hmm
Family Matters would've been Cancelled After a season or 2 if Urkel wasn't there. He saved that show.
No David Silver would be a good thing.
This is what started it all for Saved By The Bell!
Totally Agree.
I know this is late, but all these years later I just found this out. I don't think I ever saw Saved by the Bell before Kelly and Slater.
Anesthesia Awareness And Jessie too!
Miss Bliss is Pollyanna
That was a pinoff from this show
I hated school so much... I wish Hayley Mills was my teacher. Going to school would have been the greatest.
Three actors from very successful TV shows in the early 90s:
Jaleel White who played Steve Urkel on Family Matters.
Jonathan Brandis who played Lucas on seaQuest DSV.
Brian Austin Green from Beverly Hills 90210.
what's seaquest dsv? Family matters was my shit.
Andrew Carlisle I'm kind of glad that Jaleel White didn't do this show because there wouldn't have been Steve Urkel
Yes! Jonathan was super good😟💛 may he rest in peace
Madison Batten sadly in hell.
Anton Riley SeaQuest DSV only lasted a couple years. And unlike the original Star Trek (which also lasted 3 years), the popularity faded fast, and I don't think it was re-run in syndication.
Jonathan Brandis, Brian Austin Green And Steve Erkel. WOW!
I know! They was so adorable!
All in the front row... What are the odds...
Or more likely, the Illuminati really exists and people are chosen to succeed or fail...
aria smith Mad you weren't chosen huh?
Urkel. And his name is Jaleel White.
Yup!!!
OMG! I can't believe how friggin' nostalgic this is. As a kid, this was always on in the morning before I went to school but it started just before I got up and showered. So I would miss the first 5-10 minutes of it.
Who gives a shit
Aww good ole days right. I know the feeling...
What? This is the pilot. It aired once, during prime time in 1987.
@@KingRumar This comeback is hilarious. I hope you read this, hahaha
I remember barely being able to watch the show as it was one right before I had to leave for school.
This theme song is like the most ‘80s theme song I’ve ever heard.
Rip Samuel "Screech"😢
It’s So Sad!💔....
RIP Jonathan. I was so in love with him.
Me too! I still feel like crying everytime I see something with him in it. His death broke my heart.
RIP Jonathan Brandis
I like Sidekicks
They revamped the storyline because they knew this series wasn't going to last and that's why they changed the location of the city and changed the focus to the students.
Miss Bliss appears in the whole first season of Saved by the Bell (reruns) so it worked just fine. NBC could have carried her over to season 2 as a recurring teacher, or assistant principal
.
Wow, what a dramatic intro for a school show. Anyway, it sucks that Miss Bliss was only for one season. I actually liked her and her accent. She was an awesome teacher.
Everyone loves Hayley Mills.
This aired in the late 80s
i already love her before this show - sad she didn't continue :(
HOLD UP. Hayley Mills is from England so how on earth can her accent be wrong??? You’re just an idiot
.
@@bshaw71 which UK accents are you not fond of?
It's crazy that this episode is over 30 years old. Time sure did fly.

How is that crazy?
Good Morning from a real Miss Bliss! :)
:O
Hi Miss Bliss 👋🏼
Good Morning Miss Bliss!!
Miss Bliss! ♡
Good morning Mrs. Bliss!
Unreal how this pilot caused a chain of events that would be a part of everyone’s child hood in the 90s. One of the best t.v shows ever produced in the 90s next to New York Undercover. Had no clue it dated all the way back to 1987. Un real.
I loved her in 1961 "The Parent Trap." She still has that soft voice.
No, at the beginning of SBTB Zack, Kelly, Jessie, Lisa and Screech were already friends from before high school. The first episode was when Zack figured now is his chance of asking out Kelly, of course before he realised hed have competition with new student AC Slater!
who would have known that this was going to be the beginning of one of the greatest shows ever!!!!
I haven’t seen this in nearly 30 years! I loved this when I was a kid! God, I miss the 80s!
To what are you referring? This pilot episode? The one season it aired on the Disney Channel? Or when it became Saved By The Bell?
@@AndyBluebear-fi9om Wheh this first aired in the UK, during the Summer holidays, when I was a child, in the 1980s. I remember thinking it was a great show, at the time. And I just loved and miss the 1980s, so much. So this is nice nostalgia. Actually would’ve preferred more of this to Saved By The Bell. But liked Saved By The Bell, too.
@@dsd310580 So this must have been 1988 or later for you.
@@AndyBluebear-fi9om Something like that.
Good Lord, this opening theme is 80's-tastic. Quick, someone get me a Walkman and some cassette tapes.
Jon Brandis & Brian Austin Green make a guest appearence on Saved by the bell college years on the Thanksgiving show. Whoa....wierd coincidence
Yes they do
Little Jaleel was such a cutie! Jonathan Brandis, too, God rest his soul.
Digital Bean he grew up very cute too. A pity what happened to him :(
Yeah, I thought that was Urkel!
Even though it is Jaleel White as a kid in this pilot, I still find it hard to see it without the glasses he wore as Steven Urkel.
@@kandiiyuutaamu I bet he found it hard to see without the glasses too.
Seir Maybe! XD
This series was clearly meant to be a vehicle for Hayley Mills and Charlie Siebert.
I just watched the etruehollywood story on saved by the bell. This pilot aired on NBC during their summer pilot season. NBC chose to pass on the show, then the Disney channel picked it up after making a few cast changes. Including the actors who'd go on to play Zack, screech, Lisa and mr Belding. After 13 episodes they dropped it. NBC brought it back and after a few more changes including a new name, it became the smash hit teen sitcom Saved By The Bell.
My daughter loved the show. I remember it being on TV quite a bit. So, for nostalgia's sake, I have Saved By the Bell on MeTV Sunday mornings. For a few hours it feels like the '90s again. My daughter watches it too with her family. There's something very wholesome about the show now.
Poor Jonathan Brandis. RIP
This original version of 'Saved By The Bell' is actually very nice. It's from Bliss's point of view.
...had this been a prime time show, written just a little smarter and a little funnier it could of lasted in prime time.
They should have kept Haley Mills when the show became Saved By the Bell. She was terrific as Miss Bliss.
No way that would’ve worked
Miss Bliss appears in the whole first season of Saved by the Bell so clearly it worked just fine. NBC could have carried her over to season 2 as a recurring teacher, or assistant principal
.
@@electrictroy2010 it was still called Good Morning Miss Bliss then.
I always preferred Ms Bliss to the bafoonery of Belding.
Thing was that Miss Bliss was supposed to return as a vice principal of Bayside in Saved By the Bell. They couldn't get Hayley Mills to return as her and eventually dropped her character.
Richard Belding originally had two brothers: an older brother, Gerald(Oliver Clarke), and a younger brother, Rod(Edward Blatchford). Had Good Morning Miss Bliss been more successful we could've seen Dennis Haskins play the straight to the point, mature and responsible brother who flies out to his hometown, Indianapolis, from his idyllic home in the fictional suburbs of Bayside in Los Angeles, CA.
Richard had problems with Gerald due to his past history with irresponsibility and immaturity. Often times, he had reasons to worry because Rod was still in college and that those traits will rub off on him. When NBC took over GMMB, they changed everything.
This is so bizarre. Today, our beloved Screech meaning Dustin Diamond passes abruptly following his diagnosis & I learn about this pilot which didn’t have him, Mark Paul Gosselaar, Lark Voorhies or even Dennis Haskins.
It’s amazing or perhaps even shocking to know this fact after being a fan Saved By The Bell/ Good Morning Ms. Bliss after 3 decades.
Call me crazy, but I do believe this is the same set as boy meets world.
FEENEY!
Exactly the show remind me of boy meets world
FAH FAH FAH FEENAY!!!!
except for the fact that boy meets world was 10 years later
ERIC JAMES the show was ultimately “expelled” from 2 networks. The original pilot aired on NBC but was turned down and Good Morning, Miss Bliss went on to the Disney Channel for it to be cancelled after 13 episodes. It went back to NBC where it then became Saved By The Bell.
I love Miss Bliss’ character but yeah she definitely wouldn’t work in Saved By The Bell
She’s just way too wholesome for the rebellious and wacky adventures of Zack Morris and Co
The only way I could actually see her ever character working in SBTB is by making her a little more witty, sarcastic and slightly apathetic. Rolling her eyes at the gang’s antics while still giving off a positive and optimistic vibe.
I rekon they should have Miss Bliss and Mr Belding make guest appearances in the Saved by the bell reboot as a tribute to Dustin Diamond, they could make appearances at Screeh’s funeral.
She was a nurturing figure. Wasn't this middle school? As the kids get older they need a little less nurturer, and a little more disciplinary, but with sarcasm. She was more of an elementary school teacher.
Umm... pretty sure the whole first season of saved by the bell revolved around her and her classroom.
Yes Miss Bliss appears in the whole first season of Saved by the Bell so clearly it worked just fine. NBC could have carried her over to season 2 as a recurring teacher, or assistant principal
.
Jonathan Brandis! I remember him from SeaQuest and from the Neverending Story sequel. Had a major crush on him. Sad story the way he ended up.
Urkel looks like Webster in this
Thanks for the upload
Beautiful intro, 80s & 90s entertainment is the best
Hayley Mills played such a great character in this, but in my opinion, she was excellent as a school teacher.
Oh snap Jaleel White is in this😀
I agree the artwork during the opening credits is amazing. For those of you who don't know Michael Thompson is played by the late Jon Brandis.
Honestly you could make the argument that with Brandis, Greene and White the original cast featured here consisted of far more talented young actors than any of the eventual cast of SBTB.
This is what my version would've been if Good Morning, Miss Bliss been successful.
1. Pilot: Three best friends, Adam, Bobby and Michael start the 6th grade. Miss Bliss endures a series of headaches with Gerald Belding.
2. Summers are Short: Wendy and Nikki are trying to welcome foreign exchange students, but the boys plans almost derails their efforts.
3. The Concert: Adam's latest scheme to make money and attend a concert held by Aerosmith, put him and his friends in danger.
4. My Brother Isn't Like Me: Gerald's younger brother, Richard, returns to Indianapolis to confront him for his incompetence.(Dennis Haskins has a recurring role as Richard Belding)
5. Jail Time Blues: Adam's older and resident class clown schemer cousin, Zack(Mark Paul Gosslear), visits from Los Angeles. He gets Adam, Bobby, Michael and a group of pretty girls arrested after being caught joyriding in his uncle, Ron's car.(loosely based on Family Matters Jailhouse Blues episode)
6. Leaping to Conclusions: Adam and Bobby think Michael had ditched them and went missing from school. They learn a hard lesson from Miss Bliss when they learn why. Michael has a younger sister and a grandmother to care for. Meanwhile, Nikki and Wendy walk out on strike for refusing to dissect a frog.
7. Love Letters: The boys set up shop to do side money on writing love letters. However, the jokes on them when Miss Bliss catches on and teach them a hard lesson in catfishing others. Richard and Gerald's fight reaches a critical point when they learn that JFK Middle School is going to be shutdown because of the latter's incompetence and terrible behavior.
8. The Children Who Cried Rat: Miss Bliss warns the students not to mess with the mouse in it's cage. A curious Steven Hillhurst accidentally let the mouse loose and the students must catch it before the school district show up on the day the superintendent confronts Gerald.
9. Wall Street: Adam risks his class's money for some risky stocks, which pays out well. Meanwhile, Gerald is put on Administrative leave and vice principal, Mylo Williams, takes over the duties. (TK Carter has a recurring role as Mylo)
10. Brain VS Brawn: An obnoxious student, Deke, challenges Michael in a rope climbing contest. He uses the most powerful muscle, his brain, to build a jet pack and beat his rival.
11. Fashion Forward: Bobby gains a rivalry with his cousin, Lisa, during his visit to LA. Both cousins later learn to compromise after learning a hard lesson.
12.. Words Hurt: Bobby makes fun of a kind and nerdy girl, Myra(Kellie Shanynge Williams), for her appearance. Miss Bliss teaches him a hard lesson in what it feels like to be made fun of for his clothes and appearance. Meanwhile, Zack returns to lure Adam into his latest scam.
"I just got married and I'm gonna be a widow" ~ In the next episode Miss Bliss has been a widow for 3 years.
Had they kept this original format, "Saved By The Bell" would have never been created
This show was cancelled
aww, love this! I would totally watch a current version of this :)
It's hard to believe that Saved By the Bell grew out of this.
Thank you for this!!
Thanks for this.
I am so glad to have found this!! Thanks
Jonathan!!!
waaaaa! i know!
Miss Bliss was an awesome teacher....
Mr. Belding sent me here.
It's good to see stuff like this from back in the day. This episode wasn't all that bad but I'll say this though, I'm glad this show was later revamped into Saved By The Bell haha
So what you are saying is the episode was that bad or else you weren't glad show changed. Can't have it both ways.
@@Sean_Wess I think Jason should have said that like, "Despite the fact this pilot of Good Morning Miss Bliss wasn't really bad. I still believe that Saved By the Bell was the better version".
@@Sean_Wess it's pretty clear what he is saying really. It's not that hard to understand at all
Miss Bliss appears in the whole first season of Saved by the Bell so clearly it worked just fine. NBC could have carried her over to season 2 as a recurring teacher, or assistant principal
.
@@electrictroy2010 The first season only became part of Saved by the Bell retroactively in syndication. Originally, it was called Good Morning, Miss Bliss. The continuity is a mess too, as Good Morning, Miss Bliss is set in Indiana and Saved by the Bell is set in California.
Funny jaleel switched sandwiches with a kid with the last name Winslow...
hahahahha i Didn't catch that till now lol
@ERIC JAMES Except it's not Eddie, perhaps Georgie is a distant relative from another family side.
@@kandiiyuutaamu His brother from a different mother 😁
Ricardo Seems like it! 😉
I Peeped That Too..It Was His Destiny..Lmfao!
One misstep I noticed- the teachers wouldn’t have just reunited with each other on the first day of class. Teachers normally start school one week before the students ever enter the building.
Maybe 35 years ago that wasn't the case. I'm a former teacher and yes, we got 2 weeks of professional development in my final year. Garbage.
Depends on the school. My school had teachers start one week before, but that was the high school level. There was no early start for teachers in junior high or middle school
Georgie: I love teachers with great legs!
Miss Bliss: I like that boy!
Cougar confirmed.
The episode ranked 30th out of 63 shows that week, bringing in an 11.1/25 rating/share, and easily winning its timeslot.
Thank GOD they didnt keep that old fart as Mr. Belding. No one and I mean no one could have played Mr Belding other than Denis Haskins. He was so perfect for that role and I would have killed to have a pricipal like him when I was in school.
Walker Matrix didn't they get rid of mr. Belding when they all graduated? but he was still in the show somehow
I always wished my high school principal would have been someone like Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding). My principal was a jerk who played favs and his daughter went to our school...yuck.
Speaking of school principles, your last name is Strickland. Just like Mr Strickland from Back to the Future. Now he would of been a jerk.
What was his name?
Hey hey hey hey, what is going on here!!!
Thats the soppiest intro song ever
R.I.P. Jonathan Brandis !
Aww. Look at Jaleel White.
yay somebody that knows his name.
This is worth posting. Love the intro💖
oh wow! is that Jonathan Brandis?
😍
Yeah.. I hate that everytime I see him I think of him hanging himself.. What a waste.. He was talented, had so many opportunities in life.
He hung himself because he hates Indianapolis
Could you imagine Jaleel White at Bayside with Zack and them? More like the cooler version than the nerdy version
Should have gave him screeches part
Hayley as Miss Carrie Bliss...now THAT'S the Hayley Mills I know and love. At 41,she was great.
This is one of TWO pilots. Hayley was in BOTH pilots,but the second version with Mark-Paul Gosselaar(Zack Morris),Dustin Diamond(Samuel "Screech" Powers),and Lark Voorhies(Lisa Turtle) was the one we recognized the most. Too bad Hayley wasn't called back to do "Saved By The Bell"
Miss Bliss appears in the whole first season of Saved by the Bell (reruns)
.
Should have been called "Let's come together, yeah yeah yeah."
I never knew about this. I was reading the Wikipedia on Lark Voorhies and found out that "Saved by the Bell" was a spin off from this...wow the things you find out after so many years.
@connie rahim
No. She's gotten the treatment she has long needed. Still struggling, but she's come a long way. There's an interview she does with Dr. Oz that can be found on here. I recommend giving it a watch.
Not a spin-off but a reboot.
Remember when brain and Jonathan did a guest spot on sbtb the college years
That was Steve Urkle! First guy to stand up and introduce himself!🤣🤣🤣
Yep, and Brian Austin Green as the kid with the business card.
The guy who played Mr. Belding also played DJ's principal on "Full House". It was the episode where she had Kimmie's boyfriend to place his (the principal's) car on top of the roof. "DJ got the idea from Jesse to do such a prank"
I'm gonna have to look up that episode
Jaleel White!! Holy cow! I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it.
Wow...interesting to see the young Jonathon Brandis. I had a sort of crush on him as a kid. So sad what happened to him.
urkle? brian austin green? what the hell was going on here? lol
Lol I guess this is where they got there start!
The artwork in the opening credits is quite incredible. It looks like they used old pictures of Hayley Mills as reference.
It's hard to believe this morphed into Saved By The Bell (and without Hayley!)
When NBC did the pilot for Good Morning Miss Bliss and it first aired, it didn't do so well. Thus, in order for it to be successful, they had to make some changes. Jaleel White who was the popular, rich student, Bobby Wilson, was retooled as Lisa Turtle after Lark Voorhies took over. Brian Austin Green who played Bobby's wealthy and serious best friend, Adam, was retooled as class clown Zack Morris after Mark Paul Gosslear took over. Another friend, Michael(played by Jonathon Brandis), was retooled as Samuel "Screech" Powers after Dustin Diamond took over.
Originally, Richard Belding(Dennis Hoskins) had two younger brothers and made sporadic visits in his hometown of Indianapolis. One was named Gerald(Oliver Clark) and he was the principal of John F. Kennedy middle school. He was originally supposed to lock horns with Miss Bliss over the way he runs the school. The other was their lazy youngest brother, Rodney "Rod", who never took his life seriously. This had caused a rift between Richard, Gerald and him.
Gerald was replaced by Richard as principal of JFK middle school once the producers moved the location from being in Indianapolis, Indiana to the fictional Los Angeles suburbs of Bayside in California. This essentially made the show into Saved by the Bell, the Junior Years.
One picture looks like Haley Mills from The Trouble With Angels movie intro.
Miss Bliss appears in the whole first season of Saved by the Bell so clearly it worked just fine. NBC could have carried her over to season 2 as a recurring teacher, or assistant principal
.
@@electrictroy2010 The show wasn't called Saved By The Bell in that "first season" with Hayley Mills when it was originally broadcast. It was still known as "Good Morning, Miss Bliss." It was later changed for syndicated reruns: the opening credits, theme song and title. Here is the series opening: ua-cam.com/video/iAzp6gdUqJw/v-deo.html
And now sbtb is being rebooted
some other UA-cam channel brought me here... And I had no idea that Saved by the Bell first aired on the Disney Channel and it was originally called good morning Miss Bliss! LMFAO.... I have to watch a few of these episodes
But if u get the dvds its branded as SBTB
Does anyone else think this classroom resembles the classroom in Boy Meets World?
My classroom too.
I think it is.
The school does
I don't know if it's just me but I really like the original theme.
YES i loved it !!
Yes! I love it😭
Yes, but you definitely can't tell from the pilot. This is the first time I personally have seen this version, but this series is often shown packaged with Saved by the Bell reruns, with an intro by Mark-Paul Gosselaar (as Zack) explaining something along the lines of "another episode from the junior high days"; as well as a completely different set of opening credits that suggests that the show was actually Saved by the Bell all along.
When they did them in 8th grade they show them coming back from summer break and zack talks to a 9th grader I always thought that was thr pilot
It is weird to not see Zack, Lisa, and Screech on here.
this pilot is 32 years old and only aired once (MINDBLOWN💥!)
Some TV pilots never air at all. Like the original All in the Family pilot, or Star Trek’s original pilot. (Sat in the vault for 25 years until premiered.)
Haaa. Love that 30ish years later miss bliss' joke about the Indianapolis Colts being the pits, is still deadly accurate.
They did get better by the mid-90s. A play away from the Super Bowl. And QB Jim Harbaugh comes to visit Bayside.
Very nostalgic intro !!! 😇
Saved by the Bell kept the floozy teacher and those file cabinets and that's it!
I know Mr Belding was the headmaster in Saved by the bell.I didn't know that Mr Belding was also the headmaster in Good Morning Miss Bliss
I remember my mom telling me that and I never believed her... just think saved by the bell was a spin off show and lasted until 2000
And Oliver Clark who played Gerald Belding was in and episode of Full House as Principal Robolard when DJ Tanner & Kimmy did a school prank and put Robolard's car on the roof of the school. I think it was the 7th season of Full House.
It was the final season
That intro made me fall asleep.
Brian Austin Green epic!
I think I actually like this series the best out of all them. The plots are more interesting than Saved by the Bell. To bad there are only 13 episodes.
Most of them were the replacement episodes. The original unaired pilot had three best friends, Adam(Brian Austin Green), Bobby(Jaleel White) and Michael(Jonathan Brandis), as they try to maneuver their way through middle school in JFK in Indianapolis.
Unaired? No it aired on NBC in 1987 according to Wikipedia. You can even see the NBC logo at the beginning
I meant this early pilot of Good Morning Miss Bliss, not the retooled SBTB the Junior Years.
That theme song as much sense as the Family Ties theme.
The boy was right Indianapolis is the pits.
The intro music is VERY 80s! LOL! At least the actors who got replaced found decent work.
Jaleel White and Brian Austin Green still played Nerds a couple years later!
the earlier version of Saved By the Bell
Funny, this Mr. Belding is the same guy that played Mr. Robillard(o), the principal in Full House when they put his car on the roof lofl.
4:48 Rest in peace Jonathan Brandis.
Jonathan Brandis and Jakeel White were also on a tv show called "111 Gramercy Park". It was Jonathan's last role before he died.
Still a lot of laughs and good memories to be found in this clip.
I never got why students reacted like that to school work. I'm mean we are in school to do work. I would always be the quiet student who just got shit done. when I wanted too.
Someone needs to get on a Good Morning Miss Bliss, including the original pilot, blu-ray release...I'd even settle for a DVD! #cmonalready
it exists somewhere
Con Kaiserdor FACTS.
moonji Munji IT'S RARE.
When zack, lisa, and screech were on the next episode miss bliss was a widower
That's why pilots are made, but very rarely air. They are basically so networks can get a feel for what a series is going for. Network executives may ask for characters to be recast, dropped completely, retooled, or expanded depending on how well they are received. There are many examples of this. Star Trek, Gilligan's Island, Six Million Dollar Man, Full House, Eight is Enough all had changes made in the pilot stage before going to series.
I think she has a dark side we just are not aware of.
OMG! That is Brian Austin Green at 2:11
Yes, that's him also spot a young Jaleel White as well!!
And Jonathan Brandis too!
Good morning Miss Bliss and the Amanda show are even one or both of my favorite but best tv shows of all time forever
you will always be missed by everyone Jonathan
