- 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 RUclips), ie: low frame rate, blurry image...etc.
I've uploaded this video untouched, directly to RUclips 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. :)
Wow. I certainly went down the rabbit hole tonight. I was on the Peacock streaming and wanted to read the history of GMMB. Saw there was a pilot with other characters. This show would have never made it on cable or network. Glad some execs saw the potential and retooled it. Wish Hailey Mills had made the second retooling but it wouldn't have been the same.
It is great that at least one person taped this and kept it all these years so it could be uploaded to RUclips.
It was definitely a little too dark, serious for the era. Had this came along around 1993 or 1994, it would had a shot. Disney/NBC was not a good network for it, it felt more ABC-ish with the theme music and feel
That happened to me also
Retooled propaganda is still propaganda. Go further down the rabbit hole. Tell-A-Vision.
its funny how sitcoms change from concept to realization. There was nothing really wrong with this pilot. It was funny, silly, dramatic, tense, and sad. It had humanity. However, SBTB was cool because the characters were all charismatic, zany and just plain fun to watch.
good morning miss bliss was an infinitely better show in both concept and execution.
My heart aches because of Dustin Diamond’s passing. Yeah, it would have been cool if the producers stuck with GMMB.
@@bratton79 right, this show had heart and soul and a message of inclusion and caring. What happened with Saved By the Bell, was all of the worst of poor production, divisive and hokey nonsense, giving a few of them a big head and even now to his dying day they shunned him and Lark with her battle with mental illness is really similarly forgotten. I mean what happened with those kids was pretty absurd and disgusting.
@@bratton79 I Just Still Can’t Believe Screech Powers..My Favorite Character Besides Lisa Turtle..Is Gone💔..Rest Well Dustin!🙏🏾❤️💯
@@elchasai You’re Not Lying!🤦🏾♂️💯..Saved By The Bell Was A Great Show..But What Went On Behind It Was So Dark....
This pilot was definitely more adult oriented than Disney version of the show and of course, Saved By The Bell. This was the era when NBC aired pilots for midseason replacements in the summer. In July 1990, NBC aired the pilot for Blossom which featured 'Bobby Brown's My Prerogative' as the theme song which was later edited out with the instrumental used at the end. I'm assuming it was a musical rights issue that prevented it.
Another fun fact is that Nickelodeon made an original series for network television (a first for the time) with Hi Honey, I'm Home. The show aired on Nick at Nite as their first original produced series that pay homage to old sitcoms and ABC aired it in the summer of 1991 and ultimately canceled the show.
Great comment! I remember oodles of shows premiering on NBC back in those days with very few of them ever panning out. A lot of the time, like with this show, I just never made the connection.
Personally, I think the premise of the plot in this pilot was just a little bit too intense for a prime-time sitcom time slot. It also helps that, given the state of acting in general on television at the time, that they got a bunch of kids who actually could (for the most part) act.
@@bjohnkautzman1041 Shows were more happy go lucky back then, had GMMB aired in the 1990s, it probably could have made it as is. People love to watch shows about public sector workers where they are humanized like cop and law shows. A few teacher shows like The Steve Harvey Show and Boston Public showed teachers in a good light as well.
@@GSU2004 I think you nailed it. This show looked like it was trying to recreate Head of the Class with younger kids. Head of the class was a decent enough show, but I think the primary reason why it didn't catch on is because it was kind of boring.
You can't have a kids' show be boring and expect it to be successful.
Oh man I wish I could see that Lineup- The Golden Girls AND Amen, ahh bring the late 80 & early 90s back! lol
I had no idea there was a pilot for GMMB that was also so different, same as SBTB was from this show. Crazy. SO 80s. The lettering, the theme music. Wow. Had a very Cheers lettering. Oh the sax..... lol
I actually kinda enjoyed this! I am greatful though that we got the saved by the bell we got later on. Thanks for this.
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 of Saved By The Bell/ Good Morning Ms. Bliss after 3 decades.
Wow that was Brian Austin Green?! 😲
Thank u for this pilot. Hope it gets more likes. I really loved the message in it :)
Actors Jonathan Brandis (Lucas from Seaquest DSV) and Jaleel White (Urkel from Family Matters) and Matt Shakman (J.R. from Just The Ten Of Us) are also there!
And Brian Austin Green from 90210
Brian Austin Green’s character is basically a younger Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties.
Jonathan Brandis always had sad eyes. He played the role well here, because he was actually always sad. He committed suicide Nov 12, 2003. In 6 days from now it will be 20 years since his death.
I was so naive growing up, I thought we were going to get married, I loved him so much. 💔 I'll always love him, even from further a distance.
Thanks for the upload
It's weird that they created a series for Miss Bliss, a recently married woman that was still going by her maiden name. I'm guessing the producers/network thought the same thing and scrapped the hubby in the actual series.
I took it as a nod to the growing women's lib movement at the time where you had women who were married but keeping their maiden names or still going by maiden names in their profession. Even Golden Girls was pioneering for its time with a group of single women who were living their best life in their elderly times
Four years old. I was ignorant and blissful. Please bring it back!!!
Gosh , I miss 80s sitcoms ..
It’s so hard to believe this is the same show as SBTB since it’s not the same at all. In any way. The focus is on the adults and their lives while SBTB is a campy show focusing on the kids. I really wish GMMB had been able to continue AND for SBTB to have come around.
Thanks for posting - enjoyed it!
Pennywise used ms bliss to lure Georgie down the sewer.
Thank you for posting this!
i still believe this show spun off two shows-- saved by the bell AND the torkelsons! anyone? (oh, and who LOVED the end credits and the evening line-up? good show!)
Not really sure about The Torkelsons connection. GMMB and SBTB were produced by Peter Engel and NBC, while The Torkelsons and Almost Home were from Michael Jacobs and Walt Disney TV.
audrey delgado ever watch Swans Crossing?
VaultMasterDBT nbc is disney
@@raidernationcali Disney has owned ABC since 1995, but never had ownership stake in NBC. The Torkelsons was not spun-off from any show.
Loved it
GEORGIE WAS STILL IN LOVE WITH HIS TEACHER, MISS BLISS EVEN AFTER THE FIRST EPISODE.
Kick ass line up after the show....golden girls then a ton of stuff i have never heard of.
I LOVE HAYLEY MILLS 💜
I would have paired this show with Valerie (assuming Valerie and the suits would never had their spat that ended up changing that show many times) as it would have been a better fit. NBC could have branded it as the Working Women of Monday Nights (Valerie at 8, Ms. Bliss at 8:30 followed by the Monday Night Movie, join us on Mondays here on NBC!). Saved By The Bell could have been a spinoff in Season 1 as a backdoor pilot. The principal would had a different name like Mr. Smith.
Here's how I would have done it
"Saved By The Bell Part 1" April 1988
Miss Bliss travels to Bayside High in California where she's on the shortlist of being the new principal after Mr. Belding is offered a new job at central office. She quickly realizes that Belding belongs at Bayside and she belongs at JFK based on how students take a liking to them in each scenario. However her and Belding also have careers and families to think about. The Bayside crew is also dealing with having to write a tough history paper along with a major English exam.
"Saved By The Bell Part 2" April 1988
Miss Bliss strongly has second thoughts about becoming a school principal. After shadowing Mr. Belding, she realizes she's in an office and meetings all day than in the classroom. Belding realizes at Central Office has very little interaction with students and think his impact in minimized. Students at JFK and Bayside both miss their beloved figures. After consideration, Bliss and Belding realize they need to be back in their school buildings.
Screech, Zach, Slater, Lisa, and Kelly are introduced for the first time. Unlike a normal GMMB episode, the focus on SBTB is more on students interacting with adults in the background.
Season 2 Premiere of GMMB:
"See You In Homeroom Miss Bliss" September 1988
Miss Bliss is now a department head at MLK High, the feeder school for JFK Middle. Several of her former students are elated to see her and she mentions she got the promotion over the summer where she can do the best of all words--teach, administrate and help students. Bobby struggles with having to take a new honors class where he finds himself being a basic student who is competing against smarter kids. He wants to get into a regular class and Miss Bliss tells him to tough it out and do his best.
🏆 for be obsessed
Awesome. This is real TV.
Why did NBC not pick it up. It would a hit,for them. Sad it floped on Disney Channel,but it ruled as Saved By The Bell.
Jonathan Brandis ❤❤🕊
Wonder what happened with that kids brother
This is wild
I think this could’ve worked. But as someone else mentioned with the other car. Family Matters probably wouldn’t have made it past season 3...if that, Sea Quest probably wouldn’t have been Sea Quest, & I probably would’ve never watched 90210 due to Brian Austin Greene character got into drugs. I never knew 90210 had serious stuff. I just thought it was overly preppy nerdy & boring stuff. Not to mention when Tiffany Thiessen joined the show. I loved watching her play someone completely different than Kelly on SBTB.
Family Matters was ABC's answer to 227 but the first half of season was forgettable until Urkel came and the rest was history. Just imagine if Jaleel was on GMMB and they had some other character as Urkel for Laura's date, I think it would have been canceled midway in Season 2 after the first 13 episodes of that season (similar like That's My Mama, they would have changed some things around, it wouldn't have worked and booted it goes over Christmas)
90210 was going to be a smash hit even without BAG. It was the youngest of fans who chose baby David while all the older siblings and teens had already picked their crushes.
Excellent show !
It's Mr Davenport from One Day At a Time
@bratton79
I agree, but at the same time SBTB(the real one not the retooled version of this series)had those OOOOOOHHH's whenever some kissed or flirted and it was really annoying, even when I was a kid, they did have some good dramatic episodes, but they tended to be interrupted by a stupid laugh track. This pilot seemed to not do that(even the series that did air from this was more mature, than what would become SBTB). Is this on the DVD set for Season 1 of SBTB(that's how it was released)?
I don't think this was ever released on DVD
Cool!
Good Morning , Miss Bliss Original Pilot ( Part 3 Of 3 )
I shouldn't treat her like a commodity though. She shouldn't have to be worried about being popular.
Good show
He's still a Jackalope could've slipped Georgie and extra 10, 20.
Wow, weird.
what would we do without screen
Don't you mean Screech?
Daniel Gould screen as in film screening?
I didn't see Zack or Screech anywhere in here! Darn. :-(
This was the original pilot episode for Good Morning Miss Bliss. Jaleel White who played the slacker with the quick mouth Bobby in the pilot, was the original inspiration for Zack Morris, as well as Adam, played by Brian Austin Green. The eccentric boy, Georgie, served as basis for Screech.
Even though I like SBTB, but I actually like this better.
Such an odd turn of events, as it's pretty apparent that Jaleel White was really the only humor in this episode.
Not going to lie but this is pretty awful
Good pilot episode 👍
