The Mentor, or the Forgettable Finale (Deep Dive)

Описание: The era of John F. Kennedy Junior High comes to an end in this deep dive into the Good Morning, Miss Bliss series finale, "The Mentor." We examine the guest appearance of Robert Donner as Mr. Lyman, Miss Bliss’s own former teacher whose unconventional methods—including a chaotic Civil War reenactment—clash with the school's administration.

This review also covers:

Nikki’s Subplot: The conflict between her identity as a star pitcher and the pressure to conform to social norms.

The Gettysburg Hall Pass: Deciphering the historical joke that baffled Zack, Mylo, and Mr. Belding.

Series Transition: How this finale marked the end of the "Bliss" era before the characters were retooled for Saved by the Bell.

Robert Donner Career Tribute: A look at the prolific career of the man behind Mr. Lyman, from Mork & Mindy to classic Westerns.
