It's time to head back to Bayside as we look at the creation, launch, and success of an era-defining show: Saved by the Bell.
But the true origins of Saved by the Bell not only go back to 1986; it started as a completely different show.
From there, the show went through many changes, including a new cast, bouncing from NBC to the Disney Channel, and then from prime time to its eventual home on Saturday mornings.
However, back at this point in the 80s, the launch of a live-action show to air during Saturday morning cartoons was seen as a gigantic risk.
Fortunately, a generation of kids who were growing up quickly soon fell in love with Zack, Kelly, Lisa, Jessie, Slater, and Screech.
