This interview with Zack Morris, aka Mark-Paul Gosselaar, is amazing. Kudos for the
writer for revealing to Zack the discrepancy. I loved that he never realized the change in venue. Granted, he was young during "Good Morning, Miss Bliss." Hilarious! I will be laughing at this all day.
Mike: From what we saw happen on "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" to what it became the next season ["Saved By the Bell"], they went from Indiana to California. Three families [The Morrises, the Turtles and the the Powerses] and their principal [Mr. Belding] with no explanation.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar: Ohhhh, that's right! (pauses, then erupts in long laughter). Oh f---, Mike, that's pretty f---ing good. That totally went over my head. "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" took place in Indiana?
Mike: It did.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar: (Still laughing) Holy shit, it did! Why...
Mike: I would try to rationalize it by thinking that maybe the three parents worked for the same company and they all got transferred to California... But why would their old principal be there, too?
Mark-Paul Gosselaar: (Laughing) That is so funny. I have to say: You are the very first journalist to ever come up with that shit. Good on you, man.
So excited for a Save by the Bell Reunion in June. I miss that show.
