Engel, who died today, produced more than 1,000 episodes of television through his Peter Engel Productions, including Saved by the Bell and its spinoffs, Last Comic Standing and shows from the TNBC block including California Dreams, City Guys, USA High and Hang Time. In the late 1980s, Engel was enlisted to retool the Indiana-set Good Morning Miss Bliss, which Disney Channel had canceled, and turn it into the SoCal-set Saved by the Bell.

I was around ten years old when I started watching Saved By The Bell. My 10th birthday was on June 30, 1992. To me, it is one of the best ever shows.

God bless you and the Engel family and the remaining cast members always!!!

Peter Engel was, without a shadow of a doubt, the Chuck Lorre of nineties tween/teen television. May he rest in peace.
