9:17 Fun facts about the Series Finale, the show wasn't ended because of low ratings, actually they were the highest they'd ever been but some of the actors wanted to move on. However, during the final scene in the classroom where they are all barely keeping it together and crying, that's not acting, they were genuinely sad it was ending and the emotion was so real and raw, they did the entire scene ONCE!

“Some characters just randomly drop out.” But, that’s often what happens with friends and acquaintances at that age. There’s a core group of friends and peers who remain, but every year of school at that age arguably has some shuffling around. People leave in the process. Memorable people leave in the long run. The people you finish elementary/middle/high school with are not exactly the people who were there in the beginning.

Boy Meets World is one of the best TGIF series of all time. I grew up watching this show. I like how the teachers; especially Feeny and Turner; are portrayed as mentors rather than antagonists like in most other shows. I've always had mixed feelings about Eric. He started out as the typical older brother who's all about being cool and getting girls. Then in later seasons he turned into this very goofy character. The relationships Cory has with Shawn and Topanga are strong throughout. How they're always there for each other.

Apparently, Friedle said he and the writers didn't really "find" Eric until the episode where he's tested against a mouse and the mouse succeeds MONUMENTALLY. From that point on, he and the writers went no holds barred. But in many ways, because they did lesser serious episodes with Eric after that point, when they did focus on a serious storyline with him (the episode where he and Cory are cleaning out their garage and have their biggest blow up fight, with both of them ending up in the ER), it really hit home for me.

​@@van8ryanA good thing about Eric was even after he became the main comic relief, he was still able to be serious when necessary.

This show kind of came out of nowhere for me. Growing up, I watched TGIF RELIGIOUSLY. Started with Full House, then there were things like Step by Step and Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper - every year there were new shows added to the lineup. So Boy Meets World was just another one of those. But this one stuck around. And it stayed. And it was awesome. After Full House ended, I kept watching TGIF for BMW. I even watched it on Disney Channel reruns.

But thinking about it now it is really cool that the show tackles as many problems as most kids would go through like losing parents, alcohol, discrimination, etc Even in the abuse episode it’s not something happening to any of the main characters, it’s happening to a girl they knew and they wanted to help her.

Yes I love this show. My favorite show of all time. I was not a 90s kid but this show really was beneficial to watch when I was growing up. As I am in my mid 20s this show still is funny and hits home.

Mr. Feeny is my second favorite William Daniels characters right after John Adams in 1776. He has a charismatic voice and fatherly vibe to his performance.

[@kdusel1991]

He's one of the best characters on the show!!

[@LazerWulf]

I'd put Mr. Feeny right up there with KITT from Knight Rider.

[@kdusel1991]

Really looking forward to hearing what you think about The Ghost and Molly McGee, I think it actually has plenty in common with Boy Meets World, but they don’t constantly do super serious stuff, and it balances it all out really nicely.

This show really helped me deal with some issues I had been having after my father passed away. This show had great comedy and wonderful characters, and as a kid, I never really realised just how relatable the problems that I faced growing up were very similar to those of Cory and his friends. Boy Meets World is definitely one of my favourites.

[@techguypaul]

The episode where Mr Turner gets in the accident will forever live in my head.

[@backstagestudios8616]

This is easily one of my favorite TV shows. I think the way the episode tones switches from funny to dramatic is actually completely justified. One moment we have a happy moment in our lives and then another is the complete opposite. The characters are very relatable and I can even relate to myself as Cory. There are some of the best things about Boy Meets World. For anyone who has not seen this show yet, definitely check it out.

[@chasehedges6775]

Same here.💯💯

I think Critic nailed it regarding age range. I was slightly younger than the main characters growing up watching this and it definitely resonated more with me than he's saying it did for him. And regarding the final scene, as an adult I can see how it's kinda corny, but as a kid it wasn't something I'd seen a lot so it hit a little harder, particularly the last line/clarification (don't want to spoil it since Critic didn't)

The first Disney sitcom he has done

Never seen a frame of 'Boy Meets World', but I did see the Bill Skarsgard movie, 'Boy Kills World' earlier this year.

The last scene still makes me cry. I don't do that with pop culture much, but that scene is beautiful.

My Favorite TV Show of all time

[@EyeofSekhmet]

I had a friendship like Cory and Shawn in highschool. Of course, we're still friends now after almost 20 years ❤ I appreciate it more now.

[@douglasrau5094]

Minkus and Mr. Turner actually return in episodes of Girl Meets World.

Before that, they were on the other side of the school.

What still blows my mind here is will friedle would go on big with voicing terry mcginnis, deadpool (ultimate spiderman), and RON STOPPABLE

[@TheLordmep]

Thanks for reminding me of this show. I still remember the killer Halloween episode, the roller coaster, and the last scene, among a few others.

[@NekoBoyOfficial]

One of the reasons I love this show is because I'm basically Cory. Both the good and the bad.

[@Drowmerc]

Easily one of the all-time greats.

[@surferzapper20]

I was born in the early 90s. The weird thing about that was that BMW was standard Friday night viewing as a kid but I didn't really "get" the show until watching reruns as a tween in the early 00s. Then as as an adult, there were nuances that made this show work that are still hard to believe were just completely abandoned when the sequel show was created.

[@Bman54X]

This was my absolute favourite show growing up. I used to watch it basically every day it came on, so I've watched it front to back at least 3 times. Just had a ton of fantastic and relatable characters, and it's really enjoyable having them go through all these different types of problems as they went from middle school to college.

[@anbFUSION]

Lol to be fair, you watched the show all at once. The constant dramatic stuff wasnt near as annoying when you were seeing it slowly over the coarse of 7 years. Also this was long before streaming, no kid was seeing every episode as it came out

[@Jessica-wo6px]

Great show! It's in the list of my favorites of wholesome and good life lessons we don't see anymore

[@miciarokiri5182]

Firstly, Fenny was the father figure all children deserved. My son is named Vinny and I do the Fenny calls with his name ALL THE TIME. Second, my fav episode as an adult is the college era one where Corey is all bent out of shape about Co-ed dorms. At one point this hunky guy shows up in nothing but a towel and Corey says "My gf is in there" and this dude makes the dorkiest "yeah" noise. That guy is now my friend. He's 2 youngest kids are friend with my kids. I am highly entertained by this since I grew up watching the show

[@CB-qg3yh]

This show is so insanely cozy to me

[@kennethkazanow3604]

I'm so very glad Doug liked the show cause it really is one of my all time favorite sitcoms cause i really appreciate and love the dramatic moments in the show cause of how real they feel. The problem with when certain sitcoms try to do dramatic moments in them it feels...forced. It doesn't feel like I'm watching real people deal with real problems it feels like I'm watching TV characters deal with problems. Boy Meets World on the other hand feels like I'm watching real people. People i relate to and therefore can relate to their problems and how to solve them. I've always thought that Boy Meets World was a show that was ahead of its time especially since it was a Disney show. It really shows how Disney back then really dealt with heavy and real material. And also like Doug said the comedy in the show really was on point. To this day some of the jokes and episodes in that show still make me laugh which says a lot for a "dumb 90's kids sitcom." What can I say i just appreciate and notice solid good writing when i see or hear it and i do genuinely think Boy Meets World had some of the best writing compared to other sitcoms that came out around that time. I'll admit the show isn't perfect but it still is one of my all time favorites. "I love you all. Class dismissed."

[@dannigro8794]

Makes sense bc I was born in 89 I was too young to watch the show when it was on the air but in 2002 and 2003 when it was in reruns I really enjoyed it and I was the same age as Cory in the start of the series.

[@gryphonofmight]

[@BB13131313]

Ben Savage's comedic performance in this show is criminally underrated..

[@Myself-yf5do]

Now that you've done this, Dreamworksuary, Twilight Tober Zone, and Bat May, you should do Nickuly/Aprilodeon and June Henson.
