It's an indisputable truth that Boy Meets World was one of the most popular, most influential television shows of the '90s - if not, of all-time! Impressionable kids and teens (myself included) would eagerly anticipate each week's episode. The wisdom laid down from Mr. Feeny, the unbreakable bond between Cory and Sean, the consistently hilarious zingers from older brother, Eric...everything about this show was absolute perfection. Sure, the more recent adaptation of the series, Girl Meets World, didn't work out like the original but that was to be expected. I mean, how is anyone supposed to top the epic greatness that is Boy Meets World. We love this show so much (obviously) and we couldn't wait to learn more about it. The following are some seriously interesting factoids about this classic sitcom...
1
When the show shifted its focus on to Cory's "college years," there was an episode in which Ben Savage's real-life brother, Fred Savage, played a professor. Nicely done!
2
The parts of Alan & Eric Matthews (Cory's father and brother) were originally played by Matt McCoy and Harry Barandes, respectively. It was only after they shot the pilot that producers replaced them with William Russ and Will Friedle.
3
If you think you've recognized the high school used in Boy Meets World, you'd be right! This same school was also used in many popular movies, such as Pretty In Pink, Transformers, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Though this cast is chock-full of memorable characters, the only ones to appear in every single of the 158 episodes are Rider Strong and Ben Savage.
