Pilot/Transcript

[The episode starts with the instrumental version of the theme song. Random background students are shown making their way to their classes. The camera then cuts to Miss Carrie Bliss walking down the hallway to her classroom door. She grabs her keys and attempts to open the door, only to realize that the door is faulty]

Miss Bliss: Ah, this silly door! Always giving me trouble!

Mr. Belding: (walks up to Bliss) Care if I get that for you, Miss Bliss? (jiggles the door and it opens)

Miss Bliss: (gratefully) Thank you, Mr. Belding!

Mr. Belding: Not a problem. Anything for the best teacher at JFK Junior High!

Miss Bliss: (giggles)

Mr. Belding: So today's the first day of the new school year. What kind of stuff have you got planned this year?

Miss Bliss: Well, I do have quite a few students in my American History class this year, so I'll definitely have to come up with clever ways for them to work in groups without getting too rowdy.

Mr. Belding: Ah, yes, American History. My absolute favorite subject. Gets all the kids excited to learn!

Miss Bliss: Exactly. Don't you remember what happened to Johnny McStevens during my class last year? He got so excited about the American Revolution that he went crazy on his classmates, jumping on their desks and everything. He was a strange kid.
