Hey Everyone!
This is the first post for show of the week! I decided that it would be on Boy Meets World, as well as Girl Meets World as it is the spin-off.
Boy Meets World was about the life Cory Matthews, his family and friends. It started out with him in six grade dealing with middle school, then he goes to high school dealing with bullies, relationships, life choices, and then it continued on to college. For seven seasons, Boy Meets World was on Fridays on ABC during the 90s.
Cast were as followed (actor: character) [from IMDB]:
Ben Savage: Cory Matthews
William Daniels: Mr. George Feeny (history teacher/professor and neighbor)
Rider Strong: Shawn Hunter (best friend of Cory)
Betsy Randle: Amy Matthews (mother of Cory)
Will Friedle: Eric Matthews (older brother of Cory)
William Russ: Alan Matthews (father of Cory)
Danielle Fishel: Topanga Lawrence/Matthews (girlfriend/wife of Cory)
Lindsay Ridgeway: Morgan Matthews (second Morgan) (little sister of Cory)
Matthew Lawrence: Jack Hunter (brother of Shawn and Eric's roommate)
Trina McGee: Angela Moore (best friend of Topanga and Shawn's girlfriend)
Anthony Tyler Quinn: Mr. Jonathan Turner (high school teacher and once was unofficial Shawn's guardian)
Maitland Ward: Rachel McGuire (Eric and Jack's roommate then Angela's roommate)
Lily Nicksay: Morgan Matthews (first Morgan) (little sister of Cory)
MORE
Throughout this series, in every episode - there was a life lesson that was taught. Whether it has to do with family, friends, school, bullies, etc., there was a lesson to be taught. Mr. Feeny became everyone's favorite teacher as he was the guy teaching those lessons. Cory and Topanga became the couple who everyone looked up to, including Shawn. Cory and Shawn were the best friends that taught everyone that it is important to have a close friend in their lives.
From sixth grade to college, you can see changes throughout the characters. They grow mature, build strong relationships with one another, and learn the life lessons they need to continue.
Some of the quotes from Boy Meets World:
"Mr. Fe... he... he... heenay!" - Eric
"Believe in yourselves. Dream. Try. Do Good." - Mr. Feeny
"It's not what you look like on the outside that matters. It's what kind of person you are." - Topanga
"Lose one friend. Lose all friends. Lose yourself." - Plays With Squirrels (Eric)
"Unfortunately we live in a society where they tell us we have to look a certain way so we're all under pressure to live up to unrealistic expectations." - Mr. Feeny
There are plenty more of quotes from the show but there are too many good ones to put them all in this post. I have found a tribute video on YouTube that someone has made for Boy Meets World and I placed it on here. Check it out:
There are still reruns of Boy Meets World on both ABC Family and MTV so go check it out! Boy Meets World may have ended in 2000 but it will always be around.
This leaves me to the next show! Little more than a decade has passed since Boy Meets World ended and of course, we all miss the characters and life lessons so Disney and the creators of BMW have decided to bring it back! Girl Meets World aired it's first episode on June 27, 2014.
Girl Meets World is about Cory and Topanga's daughter, Riley who is now going to be facing life lessons through her family, friends, and school just as her parents did. Cory is now a history teacher in the school, as well as being her teacher. Riley has a best friend, Maya who seems to be the Shawn in GMW, she also has a friend named Farkle who is the son of Stewart Minkus (another character from BMW), and a new friend, Lucas who seems to be the Topanga of the show. At least, this is what everyone sees as these characters. Only time will tell.
Cast is as followed:
Rowan Blanchard: Riley Matthews
Ben Savage: Cory Matthews
Sabrina Carpenter: Maya Hart (best friend of Riley)
Peyton Meyer: Lucas Friar (new boy in town and friend of Riley)
Danielle Fishel: Topanga Matthews
August Maturo: Auggie Matthews (little brother of Riley)
Corey Fogelmanis: Farkle Minkus (friend of Riley and Maya)
So far, in my opinion, this show has great potential to be something big. Will it be as big as Boy Meets World? No one really knows and can say as BMW was a classic. Do I think people should keep giving Girl Meets World a chance? Yes. Because kids today need a show like this around. A show where life lessons are taught, just as Boy Meets World was for us. If you're an adult (as I am), you should also be watching because it brings back memories of the past, especially when familiar faces start to pop up.
There isn't much more to say about Girl Meets World as it is still growing. Let's keep it growing by watching it every Friday on Disney Channel at 8 PM ET! Shawn will be returning soon for a holiday episode, as well as the parents so keep an eye out for that!
Here is the trailer for Girl Meets World (from Disney Channel's YouTube page):
Remember to continue to support the Girl Meets World cast!
Hope you enjoyed the first Show of the Week post. This Friday will be the first movie of the week post. Have an awesome day!
Until Next Time
