Haha, not to sound annoying or anything, but add me here too?

I used to think it was funny that they started off in Indiana...why the change?

**Melis** · 01-05-2009, 03:29 PM

They changed because the show tanked. They had to change it. Most of the popular shows around that time were in the "glamorous" California.

Aha ha! Figures. Stupid television. I mean we can't have all those places in California, can we?

**Melis** · 01-05-2009, 05:19 PM

Yeah, it is silly. I think a show can still be exciting and set in another state.

I think the downfall of Miss Bliss was Miss Bliss. She just wasn't that interesting. The show is much better when it focuses on the kids.

definitely. i mean i liked miss bliss, but who wants to watch a show about the teacher when you have a character like zack morris

**Melis** · 01-06-2009, 04:36 PM

Yeah, Miss Bliss was just bland. Zack was great.

rockstarsugar · 01-06-2009, 04:47 PM

Zach was. He had that Mike Seaver charm!

**Melis** · 01-06-2009, 05:15 PM

He was a great guy. Even though he was kind of sneaky, he was still a good guy.

SunKissedFan · 01-07-2009, 09:54 PM

He definitely had his slip ups, but he was always a good guy at heart

rockstarsugar · 01-07-2009, 10:16 PM

I think that's what made him likeable. He didn't set out to be a jerk, like a character today would be with his personality. They just don't make television shows like they used to.

**Melis** · 01-08-2009, 03:46 PM

That is true.

Did you all like Mr. Belding?

hottlegs6 · 01-08-2009, 08:18 PM

oh definitely. belding was the best! drove me insane, but that is the way a principal is supposed to be. i always found him to be funny, and i loved the eppies where he would end up helping the gang out

**Melis** · 01-08-2009, 08:24 PM

I know what you mean. He tried to be cool, but it never worked. lol

Tayloriffic · 01-14-2009, 08:08 PM

I'm actually not surprised Miss Bliss tanked. It was in Indiana for starters and that did nothing for it (I'm from IN, so I can make fun if it if I want to

), plus Zack stole the spotlight from Miss Bliss, who was supposed to be the main character.

I loved that when they re-aired them with SBTB that they had MPG do a little intro for them.

**Melis** · 01-14-2009, 08:38 PM

Yeah, we talked about how the popular shows took place in California. They were never in a "boring" place.

Those silly MPG intros were just a way to spark life into a lifeless show like Miss Bliss.
