Saved by the Bell in Indy?!

There's nothing like some lame 90s TV early in the morning while you're at the gym. I was never a huge fan, but amidst sweating and huffing and puffing I heard one of the obnoxiously dressed teachers tell Miss Bliss that they should drive to Bloomington for the Indiana-Michigan game. WHAT? Did my ears deceive me? No, apparently Indy was the original setting of this now-infamous NBC sitcom (and I use the word sitcom very very liberally here). Who knew. Definitely not me. But I'm sure most of you all knew that already. Interesting. Very interesting.
A better job awaits

Yes, that is the case. The show's first season (when it wasn't called "Saved By the Bell," but "Good Morning Miss Bliss" or something), it was set in Indianapolis. It changed to Bayside when it left the Disney Channel and went to NBC).
How do I know this? I never even watched it, though my sister thought it was the balls back in the day. I did for some reason I can't even begin to comprehend or explain, watch the E! True Hollywood Story on Saved by the Bell. Dunno...maybe it was on after the Baywatch or Dukes of Hazzard E! True Hollywood Story(ies) or something.
How are you, by the way?
Hmm... Acid-washed jeans ... colorful sweaters ... big permed hair. SBTB must be set in present-day Indianapolis.
I'm great. Much better since I started my day with some lame TV. God Dustin Diamond has turned out to be such a douche. He was such a dorky, cute little kid.
My sister loved that stupid show (I hated it) . In one episode, Miss Bliss got honored as the Indiana Teacher of the Year. Then the entire building along with most of its students and the principal magically moved to the west coast.
I loved Saved By the Bell. I can still sing the entire theme song. Remember the episode where Spanno got hooked on trucker speed?
Happy place. Happy place. Happy place. Don't think about the song .... AGGHHHH ... too late. Damn you all to helllllll.
It could be worse, Zombie. You could have the "Full House" song stuck in your head too.
Oops...sorry.
Speaking of horrible theme songs . . . DuckTales keeps popping into my head. A-wooo-ooo.
Andy: Must be a generational thing of which I find myself on the cusp. I only saw this show once or twice and it never threw my switches so I never watched it or cared about it again... Annie on the other hand did watch the show, and only 3 years separates us.
DuckTales and Animaniacs I definitely watched.
Animaniacs was brilliant. Pinky and the Brain? The Goodfeathers? Genius.
Speaking of Pinky and the Brain - the best episode ever consisted of an entire half hour from Pinky's POV - every comment he uttered made complete and total sense in context - anyone else catch that one? I'm consistantly met with curious looks when I mention it but it's my absolute favorite.
Loved the Animaniacs theme song: "We're An-i-man-i-acs. Dot is cute and Yakko yaks. Wakko packs away the snacks, While Bill Clinton plays the sax. We're An-i-man-i-acs."
However, the PokeRap also seems to be forever embedded in my brain: "Charmeleon, Wartortle, Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl. Omanyte, Slowpoke. Pidgeot, Arbok, that's all folks!"
