I know people always say “they don’t make shows like this anymore” But honestly it’s true. Boy meets world is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I learned so much from it while growing up…it teaches genuine morals and life lessons. Wasn’t afraid to touch heavy/controversial topics. Showed kids they weren’t alone, that everyone has struggles/tough points in life no matter who they are, where they come from or what color they are. & Even though it’s technically a show for kids/teens, it resonated with children, teens and adults. Boy meets world had soul. Today’s “kid/teen” shows lack soul…they all feel so generic and shallow. Everything is about looks, possessions, getting famous and money now. I hope BMW still airs on kid’s channels.

you know, there is a school of thought in some theatre circles that the main character is not necessarily the protagonist of the story, but rather the character who undergoes the most change is the protagonist. based on this, Shawn is the real protagonist of boy meets world, while Corey is just the main. Shawn is put through the ringer time and again, and each time (thanks to those who care for him), he comes out stronger then before as a person. Corey, meanwhile, may have his own issues, but relatively remains the same character at the end of the series as at the beginning (albeit more mature due to age).

Shawn was one of those characters that life couldn't wait to stomp on. Every time something good happened to him, something worse came along on its heels.

[@ThatWizardLizard]

for most people some would say cory is the main character of this in that we relate to him the most. but in all honesty he may have gone through some tough life lessons, but Shawn never got married, Shawn never had a perfect relationship with his brother or father, he never had a proper home to stay in, and the only people who actually looked after him for most of his life were people who weren't even related to him. and I think it's great writing to show that cory is the person that we aspire to be in the place of, and Shawn is the person that brings us back to reality and tells us that not everything works out for everyone. but despite everything that happens, remaining strong and sticking by the people who really care about you is what matters most, weather they're your blood or not.

[@Sumguyinavan_]

And Shawn's life just doesn't feel complete now without the Girl Meets World stuff. He took every lesson he had to learn the hard way and tried to make the right choices. And when he met a small version of himself, he took some time figuring it out but he wanted to be the kind of role model he needed as a kid. And he got himself a wife while he was at it- maybe not quite the same kind of relationship as he had with Angela, but they both wanted someone who would stay instead of leave and who wanted to be a good parent for Maya. It is a bit cheesy with the 'missing pieces to make him complete' idea, but his whole life was leading him to be exactly the kind of person he needed someone else to be for him and to have the answers that he didn't get until it was too late.

4:25 I love how the students are just minding their business while Shawn is going off. Wish people were actually like that in real life lmao

[@hugeslacker]

now they just take video of it and post it on social media

[@frodobaggins4088]

Corey’s dad saying (I’ll be your father.) so heart warming he was always there for him 😢

[@KoolKukumber]

9:56 that voice breaking about to cry is so realistic and sad 😢

[@aj_english87]

This an awesome channel. I guess I should go binge watch some BMW! I loved the loyalty of Corpanga story but Shawn is what kept the show real. Thank you guys for showing Shawn’s character grow. Keeps reminding me to cherish the important things and never let them go. Keep up the good work on this channel.

i wish we got to meet shawn's birth mom

She does make an appearance I don’t remember what season or episode but his mom does make an appearance

@@zoeyhughes4877 that episode was depressing . Dude bounced back from all the hardships of life then they thrown this curveball . But it just proved that he was able to recovered because he has a strong support system like his half brother ,the Matthews , Feeney, and Angela

I see A LOT of myself in this dude , this character is someone that understands me 100% , i never knew my father at any point of my life and I'm currently in my 20s and I've haven't been able to keep a relationship for no longer than 6 months , and push friends away because of my paranoia and mental health issues and abandonment issues , SHAWN HUNTER IS ME! And that's what makes this show so relatable that i was afraid to watch it for a hot minute because i didn't want to see a reflection of myself on a TV screen , this show saved my life , because Shawn hunter was a character that is literally me and I'm still going through it but it gets easier to understand and remember that there are people who deal with the same struggles as me

[@minajones9378]

I had forgotten about these till now. Poor Shawn. At least he found happiness eventually with Maya and Katie.

[@victorianoelle9043]

The part that hit me the most was when he was saying that he never had any parents- and right after to “stop whining” I know what that’s like. To feel pain but to feel like you don’t deserve to complain or be sad. To hate yourself because your so pathetic honestly whoever wrote that part was incredibly talented

[@TheScarletLadle]

This video hit me hard... So many of the same emotions I felt growing be portrayed by one person...

[@zues7706]

Mr. Turner motorcycle accident was such an impactful episode and an incredible cliffhanger. . . And then we never hear about him ever again 😂 😂

[@khadijahabdullah852]

He was definitely the glue that held this show up When it came to the drama 🎭 and realistically ideals I related to Shawn the most!

[@hannahwilliams4437]

It so heartbreaking that Chet lied to Shawn once again and that he told Alan he was going to go away once he got out of the hospital

[@maggiejo6727]

this is amazing tysm

[@magnolia.23]

I cried at this whole video. Shawn went through so much and had people there for him but he still felt alone. Bless his soul.

[@broadwayfangirl987]

Poor Shawn he deserves better 💕

[@RapFanatic4ever]

He does 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@michelleanderson7828]

Growing up I liked this show. As an adult, I can appreciate it more. Allen and Amy were a team! You see them disagree as a couple and work it out. They respected and cared for each other. They loved their kids, gave consequences to them as needed, you see them mess up as parents sometimes too! Shawn and Cory...an unlikely match but something that Shawn desperately needed for what that character went through in life! Cory's family became his family and while I think you could see the friendship made the parents uneasy sometimes, they let it be and supported the boys. People made mistakes and you saw them take accountability for those mistakes. I live how the inter racial relationship of Angela and Shawn wasn't even really a thing. I'm so basic white girl, and it didn't really occur to me how different Angla and Shawn were on that! I think that was the best way to normalize it, by not even really addressing it. Great show and love that the episodes are found on Disney plus now!

[@cece8095]

The dramedy of all dramedies lol. They did right with this show:) I grew up on this show! The 70’s, 80’s & 90’s was all about what was genuine. Now all we see is stupid stuff on Disney. Preteens are being deprived of good television.

[@codyhiginbotham6616]

Boy Meets World is way better than Girl Meets World

[@RenecieARenA]

Duhhh

[@Michelle-DiPalo]

I think GMW was limited by it being directly on the Disney Channel. I still enjoyed it a lot though.

[@Vixen1409]

GMW could have been a lot better if it wasn't strictly Disney if it was on another network like BMW it would have done better but it had to be all fluffy for disney

[@Crow5537]

Duhh boy meets world wasn’t watered down and direct for 12 and under ppl

[@MagileineTopDeckToFullField]

I like BMW way more than GMW, but to be fair, alot of the heavier topics and most of the scenes here were in later seasons once the characters had a chance to grow and mature. GMW was canceled before they were able to make it that far.

[@stevensacks2771]

I only caught the show in reruns 15 years ago but I think it was one of the most well written well acted shows I have ever seen.

[@terencedove5047]

Rider Strong should have received an Emmy or a Golden Globe for his work in this series. He played the part of a weighted, unsettled teenager so superbly that one could actually wonder whether some of his role is based on actual life…

[@ryleighbritt2034]

I wish shows now could portray issues like this aswell as the oldies could, it’s amazing to see people understand other peoples issues, etc.

[@avawxxds]

We all know that Shawn was shown as ‘rebellious’ and a sort of ‘kinda popular’ type, but the pain this boy actually went through breaks my heart. He had a rough home life and he just wanted someone to properly love him :( not to mention he was also just mainly sweet.

[@sbaker8787]

I always wanted Cory's parents to adopt him! I think that was one place where the show dropped the ball.

[@sbaker8787]

@Isha Shifar I think they did try but he decided to stay with his brother, which I thought was silly as it would have been better for Shawn in the long run to stay with the Matthews as a real part of the family.

[@DM-ty4jb]

@@sbaker8787 I think she meant that they tried to but he preferred to stay with Mr. Turner who in turn also tried to adopt him later.

[@siddmic]

This show dealt with some really tough issues in some pretty real ways.

[@zzulm]

Now I remember where I learned to stick up to my kids. I was raised by a single father with 3 siblings and it takes a lot of courage sometimes to keep your kids with you divorce,poverty unresolved emotional issues take a toll on single parents.

[@tomahawkuup]

I never appreciated this show when it was on but now that I’m 37 I am looking at these clips and realize that Rider Strong is a truly phenomenal actor. His character development was amazing. He was my favorite

[@kaylaconnolly637]

I relate to his back story so much. I love him ♥️

[@notwerkinginthishouse8634]

I am so sorry

[@cliffchampion5501]

This just shows that in real life some of us just carry more burdens. Others simply won’t understand I related to Shawn a lot.

[@rebeccafields9125]

Shawn's character really was more than just the bad boy or the ladies man his character and cory's characters being how they're best friends they really show that you dont have to be blood to be family or to have people care about you.
