+LoveRoryandJess Research it. It really DID start off on Disney. Any true Boy Meets World fan would know that.

[@jasmineraine8869]

It was never aired on disney until reruns. it was apart of abc family.

[@harmonistkris]

All rights go to the BMW Wikipedia page: Disney-ABC Domestic Television (sister company to Touchstone Television, now ABC Studios) currently handles the syndication rights to the series. Boy Meets World reruns began airing on various FOX, WB, UPN, and independent affiliates from 1997 to 2000. During the latter month, Disney Channel assumed syndication rights, with the series running on the cable channel until 2007. To the consternation of some longtime fans of the show, Disney Channel edited many episodes that contained scenes with suggestive content deemed inappropriate for the channel's target audience of 7- to 14-year-olds. All 158 episodes aired during the series' initial run on the Disney Channel, however due to the adult subject matter and complaints from parents, Disney Channel omitted three episodes from later airings: season five's "If You Can't Be with the One You Love..." (due to its depictions of underage drinking) and "Prom-ises, Prom-ises" (whose main storyline involves Cory and Topanga contemplating losing their virginity on the night of their prom), and season six's "The Truth About Honesty" (due to its sexual references).[9] On May 5, 2014, the show temporarily returned to the network after a seven-year absence to promote Girl Meets World.[10] ABC Family has aired Boy Meets World from June 21, 2004 to August 31, 2007 and again from April 12, 2010 to December 2, 2015.[11] Though the network in a way inherited the syndication rights to the show from Disney Channel, the episode prints broadcast by ABC Family differed from those seen on Disney Channel and in broadcast syndication as it incorporated scenes cut from the Disney Channel broadcasts (though small portions of certain scenes from episodes during the earlier seasons were cut due to time constraints) and featured the three episodes that Disney chose not to air, incorporated each season's corresponding opening title sequence, and restored the placement of the teaser scenes during the season one episodes to running before the opening titles in the manner that they were shown in the original ABC telecasts (instead of having the cast and creators' names shown during the teasers). However, the program was dropped once ABC Family was rebranded as Freeform. The series also began airing on MTV2 since November 14, 2011, again with the original opening title sequences intact.[12] That's your answer right there

[@ritikamandi6242]

I think it goes both ways. Like she insisted and then expected him to just do the "right thing". Why did she insist then? Like honestly she can't judge him for not being sure about their relationship because she is the one who didn't trust him. If she trusted him, she wouldn't have felt the need to test him for no reason. So it was her fault for the breakup but she just victimized herself. Trust is important in a relationship just as much as love is.

[@mssweetychessgir]

[@nabeeha3131]

Ritika Mandi I agree that she should have been honest with him and not tried to “test” him because that’s exactly what he did to her. But how could she trust him when he literally cheated on her and broke that trust? I don’t think it’s her fault. It’s both of theirs but more so his fault since he’s the one who started this whole mess by talking to another girl in the first place. He shouldn’t even be thinking about being with another girl when he has a girlfriend.

Topanga asking him to see Lauren had to be done, I'm sorry. Guys don't need to have feelings for other women to cheat or to get confused.

​@@richardgrace5043 I don't think you're understanding. she wanted to see if he would say yes to the date with this other girl. if he would say yes to testing his feelings for this girl and his feelings for topanga. he was supposed to say no. thats what she wanted to hear, but he instead agreed. Even Shawn told him not to go, and he still went. even as a 12 year old when I watched this, I knew no one should say yes to going on a date with someone else to test your feelings for your significant other, even if they told you. its literal common sense that they're giving you a choice and want you to say no. you should never have to if you truly love your significant other. after the date, he straight up told her that he loves her completely NOW, as if he never truly did before or was unsure. which I think was the main reason topanga did this. it hurts when topanga has always been sure about him her entire life. so many guys have hit on her and it took only one girl to sway him. and it was only now, after going on a date with this other girl, did he finally realize how much he loves topanga. also I don't think topanga has ever done anything like what Cory did here. she was always loyal to him. if you're talking about the time with Ricky, they were broken up at the time.

+Paolo Torres-One of the better things about GMW was that at one point, Cory and Topanga were reminded of Lauren at one point and they admitted to their children that was a challenge in their relationship that nearly destroyed it entirely. Cory and Topanga were both willing to admit what they did wrong to handle the situation at the time and regretted how they chose to handle it. They didn't regret that it made them stronger, and after 18 years and two kids, Cory hadn't thought of Lauren at all anymore. She was just a "ghost" from his past and meant nothing to him, he had all he wanted and needed with Topanga and his two kids.

[@Hi.Shadow]

This situation may be complicated for a man to understand, but Cory was wrong for this. A woman would never go on a date with another man to test her feelings for her boyfriend, if so then that is a clear indication that woman isn't in love with the boyfriend. It was insulting for Cory to even entertain the idea of going out with that other girl Lauren. If he really loved Topanga no other woman could take his attention away from her. Temptation is hard to resist but true love overcomes all barriers and all of this could've been avoided. Topanga wasn't in the wrong, Cory was.

[@marisaperez5502]

[@clintonlawrence701]

I get where Topanga is coming from. In all their years together, Topanga has never, once shown interest in anybody but Cory, even though she gets attention, on a daily bases from other guys. The fact that Cory gets a little attention from one girl and starts to compare or equate that feeling to the way he feels about Topanga, shows that she loves him way more than he loves her. Her telling him to spend time with Lauren, is her giving him the chance to say "NO" and choose her (over just one girl), the same way that she chooses him over other guys everyday. Topanga can't understand how Cory could even think about being with anyone else because she can't imagine being with anyone but Cory.

[@jasonpower6578]

Yeah it was wrong completely he went to her but Topanga has been desensitized to guys talking to her since it’s common for women to get attention from many men. It’s not the same for men since they rarely have women approach them and get rejected

I was confused about this episode as a kid as well. Confused that Corey listened. Even as a 12-year-old Aspie with zero social skills, some alarm system in my brain went off when Corey was all "Hey, I like Topanga, but this other chick is kinda hot. Think I'm gonna chill with her for a bit." Even when Topanga was telling Corey to do it, I still felt like "Bro, don't do it! It's kind of a stupid idea to investigate your feelings for a girl when you're already in a relationship. Because you're already in a relationship. You don't break it off cuz you meet someone else.

That is so true

[@dxtrememwe2215]

+LoveRoryandJess GMW has its moments, but its still nothing like this. I enjoy GMW, because I love the evolution of what I grew up on with BMW. However its tie to the original actually might be what makes it kinda be a downer. Yes it has its own identity, and provides something for parents (old BMW viewers) and a new generation however there's a feeling of expectation to be met. Look at it like this Cory came from a good home, and depite having Mr. Feeny have more screen time then his own parents, you knew there were multiple outlets for Corey to turn to for learning a lesson. Now look at Riley (yes the show may actually be moreso focused on Mya, but here me out)... Riley comes off less in flaud. Having Corey Matthews & Topanga Laurence as your parents are like taking the best of 2 worlds. Add in the fact that her father has taken over the Feeny role, and its like... when does she learn? She comes off as more developed to give a solution to Mya's problems with ease because of this. GMW is a good show, yet it should of been used to reveal more about Topanga being less flaud to help be a good mother towards a coming of age Riley who would moreso have questions rather feel the need to have answers. But thats just my opinion

[@venusvela8214]

As painful as this breakup was to watch as a kid, I have to commend MJ on the masterpiece that is Corpanga! This could have been the end. Even now the comment section is so full of people getting angry, taking sides, saying who was wrong, but the thing is...Cory and Topanga had to be tested in order to be real. Yes, there were other people vying for their attention, distance, and people who thought they were too young, but the biggest obstacle in any relationship is always overcoming ourselves. Cory wasn’t used to being wanted the way Topanga was. No one ever actively pursued him for HIM until Lauren. That was the first time Cory realized someone else could or would want him. He wasn’t wrong to be confused or blinded by that. He learned a valuable lesson by falling for Topanga’s test here. But Topanga was also right to end the relationship when he did. Because she had lessons to learn too. She had never let herself explore any other option. Cory was safe, familiar, comfortable, and easy to be with up until that point. But would she still choose him when it wasn’t? Was he really the love of HER life? And that is what makes their story so unique and epic while still being one of the healthiest relationships ever out on TV. Because when they saw the other growing away from the relationship, they could have turned toxic and they didn’t.

[@erichamidi8801]

I must say this is a very fair and balanced way to look at this situation. Pointing out the mistakes either one made and why one was justified for doing the things they did. It's a nice execution of empathy and boundaries

[@youngrevivalist]

Everyone thought they were this strong mature couple but for Cory to stay up all night talking to Lauren, kiss, and fall for her and for Topanga to tell Cory to do something she didn't mean as a form of "testing" him (and for him to listen) was immature on both of their parts. I think this situation showed their youthfulness and that they were still immature in certain parts of their relationship. They weren't adults yet and hadn't gone through real temptation that can come with being in a relationship and for once I agreed with Amy that if Cory was unsure then he should explore his feelings for Lauren. I think that Topanga would have really been the "perfect" person if she had the carefree attributes of Lauren that would make him step out of his comfort zone. This was probably the best topic BMW did.

[@jaetowns]

While I agree with you on the psychology part, if you watch the episode again, you will see Topanga was already heartbroken from the letter, the kiss, and the lying. This was the final straw. It was piling up and he should gave caught that, but he didn’t realize the ramifications of his actions leading up to Topanga saying go out with Lauren. Whether she tested him or not, he should have realized early on that this situation was not just a random thing and should have been taken more serious. Lauren wasn’t another girl, he had actual feelings for her and BOTH Topanga and Cory should of had a conversation about it, instead of miscommunication...but also, they were young and didn’t have the maturity to handle this...but like I said, I do agree with you somewhat.

[@Syryu]

While I kinda understand where Topanga is coming from, that was a cheap trick she pulled on Cory. She basically put him in a lose-lose situation.

[@airicaxoxo]

It's a test....if it was the other way around, I would stay far away from that particular person. I have seen people do VERY nasty things....I feel Topanga had every right to do what she did, bc you'll never know what people will do behind your back....

[@peytonhicks8659]

It wasn't a lose-lose situation. If he had followed her out of Chubbie's, rather than staying with Lauren, she would have forgiven him, but, because he stayed, she took that as, in a way, a rejection. It's screwed up, but, I understand why she did it. I want my boyfriend to know how he feels for me and not get confused if he's attracted to another girl. Can you imagine how Topanga felt when she heard he went out with another girl that he likes and may want to have a relationship with?

[@wyssmaster]

Peyton Hicks He literally only stayed because she forced him to. You can't insist repeatedly that someone do something and then freak out when they do.

[@TheRock2004]

wyssmaster Amen

[@bokuwaninjadesu4405]

Peyton Hicks That is against all logic. Tell someone to do one thing and expect them to do something else? Why can't you just tell them what you want them to do? That way the person knows exactly what you need!

[@jsrosa1282]

Anyone here seen the first episode of Girl Meets World yet? Cory's reaction in this scene, when Topanga told him that she couldn't see him anymore, was almost exactly the same in the scene on GMW, when Maya told him that she had no one to help her with her homework. I do hope that the powers that be on GMW do a scene or two that pays homage to this one from BMW, involving Lucas and Riley's struggles as a couple.

[@kirrasebastian6256]

Topanga telling Corey to go see another girl is a shit test that he failed miserably. Women speak in weird riddles of eternal opposite day lol.

@@MsDudette21 ok so all of that u said topenga is the idiot becuz she literally TOLD him 2 go see her. Another thing ppl completely disregard that corey is not good when it comes 2 girls he is not Shawn guys. Corey is the nice guy so when he fucks up everybody calls him a monster not realizing that hes only a human that makes mistakes. Lastly u say if ur in a serious relationship u shouldnt need a test abt love yet fail 2 realize they r still learning abt it corey and topenga dont kno much abt the word love and neither do we which is y we learn and I dont blame corey

[@jeremiahtablet]

That ending with Cory and Shawn is where the real moment hits for me. Dude comes in to his best friend just having been broken up with by the girl he'd been with for his whole life. What do you DO there?? Best he could manage was a broken, weak "it's gonna be ok," which you can tell by his face, he's not even saying that seriously, he's more asking, pleading that. And Cory just has nothing else to do except respond with his heart, honestly, "no. no it wont..." as a broken hearted man with no more hope left. And then they just stand there, because what else do you do??

[@kelli217]

"Do you have any idea how many guys hit on me?" Exactly. It's so often that it's part of the background noise of her life. It isn't validation to her, it's an annoyance at best and threatening at worst. But to Cory, it's probably only the second time that's happened to him, and the first was Topanga herself. So it was a compliment to him, and he didn't have the emotional skills to be able to brush it off. There's no good guy or bad guy here... there's two people who are coming from very different life experiences.

WOW! This TV show escalates SO MUCH from Season 1. You literally get to see them grow up in this show. I LOVE IT!!! Originally, I started watching Girl Meets World, and then became interested in the Cory and Topenga story so I started watching BMW. And man, it's such a good show. No matter how old or young you are, there's always something or someone in the show you can relate to. I'm currently up to season 2 but I can't wait to get up to this episode and see how the whole story unfolds. P.S. Honestly, I think the strongest relationship in this show is the one between Cory and Sean, but that's just me. I love their friendship and it's so awesome how relatable their relationship is.

"... And you listened!" So Cory isn't the only one who was testing their relationship.

[@Ellis_Hugh]

Topanga did him wrong. Corey didn't NEED to go on that date, Topanga convinced him to do it. He trusted her so much that he went against his instincts to explore the relationship at her insistence and STILL came back stronger in his love for her than before. And she bails on him, because he did what she asked.

[@basedty5246]

I have a few things to say abt this one: 1. Topanga told him to see how he felt about her and he did what she said, so im confused how that can be a problem if he simply did what she said? 2. Invasion of privacy + deceit on both sides: Cory lied about the kiss, but she did the same thing keeping the letter from Lauren and reading it when not only did he not give her permission, but he didn’t know she had it anyways

[@alysialiwanag8866]

...... 1. She gave him a choice. He should have loved her enough to never question his feelings the second a pretty girl smiles at him. That's insulting to Topanga and the relationship. 2. Are you serious??? If another girl sends my boyfriend letter and my FRIEND opens it after telling them not to, I'm gonna read the letter.

[@andrianachin3914]

Girls are Lowey confusing. Like we plead for guys to listen to us and hear us. So Cory listens to Topanga, and does what she insisted on him doing. Then he gets punished for it. Like whaa???

[@SaltyQueenofLiterature]

She wanted to see if he cared enough about her that he would know what she truly wanted.

[@razkable]

Topanga is wrong...its okay for corey to go on one date to see how he feels about lauren..he still chose Topanga over her....he then insists to break his heart....so if I were him I would say good riddance and go be with lauren..fuck it...its not worth the hassle to be with Topanga...she isn't even that pretty anymore...or that smart sounding...or that capable...all she does is nag and witohld sex for years until they are married....god damn cock tease...

[@johnaandrea6281]

Asmosis Jones The fact that he even had to be with another girl to see how he felt about her is just insulting

No, Cory should've listened to his better judgement and not gone on that date. I'd say they're both at fault here, though.

This wasn't actually a Disney Channel show - DC just aired it in the early 2000's. It was originally on air on ABC in the 90's.

[@jaetowns]

Yooo!!! I’m watching this episode on Disney+ for the first time in a looooong time...even in the beginning of the episode, Shawn, Cory’s HOMEBOY, told him not to do it...he even said the words “It’s a trap. Take Topanga and go. Trap!”...at the end of that scene when Topanga walks away, Shawn ends up saying “And the world as we know it has ended”...Shawn knew, EVERYONE knew not to do it...don’t feel bad for Cory, he was wrong🤷🏽‍♀️...

[@bauer0788]

Having gone through the series all the way through again recently, Topanga was right for all this. Especially after their episode where Topanga ran away and their “love” was something special. Like bro literally fought tooth and nail for their relationship after Topanga moved to Pittsburgh and then easily fell for another girl. Expressed in previous seasons after their short breakup he didn’t want other girls, he wanted Topanga. I mark this to lazy writing to manufacture drama .

[@niaj377]

Everyone needs a significant other like Topanga to help shape and mature them while dealing with these life lessons and everyone needs a best friend like Shawn to be there by your side while you face them

[@Mayonidas05]

It was this moment where I learned about the "double standard". Which means its okay for women to take time and test feelings even though they SAY they'd never do that. Yet if we do it even when our lady suggests it we're wrong. What's the message there?

[@ritikamandi6242]

I actually agree. What topanga did was wrong. I hate how sometimes girls just expect guys to read their minds and always think that they're right.

[@erinmiller1433]

They were both in the wrong. Topanga shouldn’t have told Cory to see Lauren, and he shouldn’t have listened.

[@StikWitClassics]

It's so annoying. It's one thing if Cory on his own decided to see Lauren to see what was there but Topanga encouraged Cory to see her. It's a sick mind game to play on him. If she didn't want him there, then she should have said something. Not all men can tell things like that whether a girl says something because she means it or not

[@kanzasiddiqui8282]

the sad thing is that shows nowadays aren’t like this

[@ericlofstrand]

This whole breakup portion of the series I think lasted like 8 episodes or so and I remember as a teenager feeling every week like Fuck! Get back together already. It felt like a void was happening in my own life until they reunited. Says a lot about how captivating and influential this show was

[@EdMack51]

i didn't cry or get close to it...but this one scene is full of real emotions even though they're acting. I wanted a relationship like them

[@kva5751]

And this is why you don't make big decisions based off of a high school relationship. If you are truly meant to be, it will work out long distance. I get that she was hurt because those were some pretty big choices, but also they were both young teens. Of course Cory didn't know what he had when it was the only thing he had. Same with Topanga.

[@jonathangoodwin7511]

He tested to see if there was anything with Lauren and Topanga tested Cory to see if he would go the date in the first place. When she found out about Cory and Lauren, instead of giving him permission to date another girl, she should have just sat down with him and see if he still has any feelings for her. What Cory did was wrong, but testing him just drags things out. It’s too hard just to talk things nowadays. It’s so much easier just to throw your hands up and give up. If you truly care about the person you’re with, you would talk it out and try to rebuild.
