This show was the Disney Channel Show that the Magic Kingdom didn't originate. Boy Meets World was one of the bigger hits that ABC TV had during the Nineties for family audience. The Kingdom soon remedied that and it was run on their network in syndication and later Disney put out the current Girl Meets World about the next generation of the Matthews family.
William Russ and Betsy Randle were the parents of Will Friedle and Ben Savage. The show centered around younger brother Ben playing Cory Matthews and we see him first in Middle School then High School and finally college. The American public watched the family grow up and mature all under the tutelage of William Daniels playing both their neighbor and teacher who traveled to each grade. Not like that usually happens, but we accepted it because the show was so easy to take.
Ben also met the love of his life which has continued in Girl Meets World, Topanga played by Danielle Fischl. She's a lawyer and a mom on the current show, but she was a young hippie refugee in middle school. Weird and out of place, but she had something intriguing and special for Savage.
Best friend Rider Strong was part of the growing up process. It's interesting to see how they've brought him back in the new show. Strong hasn't quite settled down yet as an adult.
The most intriguing character for me was carefree Will Friedle. I remember seeing his goofy character of older brother Eric take on a strictly serious persona when he had to recite some Shakespeare. I was blown away by his talent and ability with the Bard. I hope he's done that for real in his career. I also hope Girl Meets World brings him back.
Boy Meets World is what family entertainment should be about.
