Tartikoff felt there had been strong elements to ''Good Morning, Miss Bliss'' and wanted to try the show again with a different time slot and a different approach. The elements featuring the kids had been well-received, so Tartikoff wanted to drop Miss Bliss from the show altogether and focus entirely on the teens. NBC had been losing the high end of their animated audience, kids from ten to twelve, so the idea was to create a live action comedy to air on Saturday mornings, a new idea at the time.<ref name="Engel 164–166" /><ref name="E!

Engel was skeptical of the new format at first, and did not want to make children's programming. However, his wife convinced him that making the show would be a worthwhile endeavor, and he soon told Tartikoff he would do the show.<ref name="Engel 164–166" /> Engel felt, however, that Indianapolis was not exciting as a location, and moved the show to a fictionalized version of a [[Los Angeles]] neighborhood, "[[Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles|the Palisades]]." The main locations of the show would be the teenager's school, Bayside High, and The Max, a fictional eatery they frequent. In addition, they would film before a live studio audience.<ref name="E!

The majority of the cast was replaced, and Tartikoff gave a seven episode commitment for the show. In a meeting with Engel and Tartikoff, senior producer Tom Tenowich suggested the name ''Saved by the Bell''. Though Engel hated the name, Tartikoff loved it. The name stuck, and filming commenced, with the first episode, "Dancing to the Max," airing in prime time on August 20, 1989.<ref name="Engel 166-169" /><ref name="Engel 184-187">Engel (2016), pp 184–187</ref>
