Boy Meets World: How to Succeed in Business
Both Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) have taken work-study jobs, but with surprisingly different results. Eternal underachiever Shawn proves to be extremely successful in the public-relations field, while Cory can't seem to get any further than the mailroom (and he can't even hold THAT job down!) Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) dies a thousand deaths when his mom Amy (Betsy Randle) enrolls in his creative-writing class--and promptly begins revealing a whole bunch of scintillating family secrets. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Fraternity Row
High schooler Shawn (Rider Strong) drops in on a college philosophy class and wins a debate with Professor Michaels (Julius Carry). His ego in high gear, Shawn begins thinking of himself as a college student--and in so doing neglects his high school duties to the point that he ends up suspended. And Dean Borak (Paul Gleason) wonders what Eric (Will Friedle) is up to when he creates his own fraternity, "Magnum Pi." Former Love Boat regulars Bernie Kopell and Ted Lange) appear as themselves in a surrealistic frat-party sequence. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: No Guts, No Corey
This episode was originally part of a "special edition" of ABC's "T.G.I.F." lineup, in which all of the network's Friday-night sitcoms were linked by events occurring on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. After Sabrina's talking cat Salem swallows a "time-ball", Cory (Ben Savage) and his friends are transported back to the 1940s. While Cory is in Europe fighting the war, his pal Shawn (Rider Strong) and his gal Topanga (Danielle Fishel) remain in America. When word comes that Cory is missing in action, Shawn grimly prepares to carry out his promise to marry Topanga in the event of his friend's demise--while Cory, suffering from amnesia, dallies with a delectable mademoiselle named Versailles (Yvonne Scio). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: I Love You, Donna Karan
In the first episode of a two-part story, Shawn (Rider Strong) breaks up with his girlfriend Angela (Trina McGee-Davis), honoring his "two-week only" dating rule--and promptly falls in love with a girl he has never met, based on the contents of her purse. Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) pretends that the absent Mr. Feeny is helping him prepare for a test--leading his roomate Jack (Matthew Lawrence) to think that Eric is dangerously delusional! This episode was originally shown in tandem with its followup, "Chasing Angela". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Chasing Angela
In the conclusion of a two-part story (originally shown in tandem with Part One, "I Love You, Donna Karan"), Cory (Ben Savage) suggests that Shawn (Rider Strong) abandon his self-imposed "two-week" dating time limit and opt for a long-term romantic relationship with Angela--just like the one between Cory and Topanga (Danielle Fishel). Only problem is, Cory and Topanga may not be a couple much longer! Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) and Jack (Matthew Lawrence) prepare to hold a Thanksgiving party in their tiny apartment; unfortunately, they've forgotten a minor little item called food. With this episode, Trina McGee-Davis becomes a regular in the role of Angela. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Brothers
In the opening episode of Boy Meets World's fifth season, Eric (Will Friedle) has been accepted at Pennbrook College, but still intends to live at home. Unwilling to share his bedroom any more, Cory (Ben Savage) offers to help Eric find a new place to stay. The next step is to find Eric the "perfect" roommate--and imagine everyone's surprise when the roommate in question turns out to be Jack Newman (Matthew Lawerence in his first series appearance, the long-estranged half brother of Cory's best friend Shawn (Rider Strong). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Boy Meets Real World
Insisting that he can maintain proper professional detachment, Cory (Ben Savage) makes a "Real World"-style student film about new roommates Eric (Will Friedle), Shawn (Rider Strong) and Jack (Matthew Lawrence). Trouble is, half-brothers Shawn and Jack have never gotten along, and in all likelihood probably never will. As the situation worsens, Topanga (Danielle Fishel) angrily urges Cory to forget about his movie and try to patch up the differences between the two warring siblings. And back at home, Morgan (Lindsay Ridgeway) hires a "new brother" named Larry (Ryan Gesell) to fill the void left by the departing Eric. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: It's Not You...It's Me
The decade-long friendship between Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) may be at an end when Cory thinks about attending a different college than Shawn. This leads to an extended flashback to the boys' childhood--which is somehow invaded by a young Topanga (played by Danielle Fishel lookalike Rosario Gru). Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) and Jack (Matthew Lawrence) are convinced that college life will be a breeze if only they can become close friends with Dean Borak (Paul Gleason). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: The Witches of Pennbrook
In this crossover episode with Boy Meet World's "T.G.I.F" neighbor Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Eric (Will Friedle) suspects that Jack's weird new girlfriend Millie (Candace Cameron-Bure) is a witch. Outraged, Jack (Matthew Lawrence) tells Eric that their friendship is over. Ironically, by the time the pals have made up, Eric is himself dating a certain Sabrina Spellman (Melissa Joan Hart), the "teenage witch" from the series of the same name. Meanwhile, Cory (Ben Savage) tries to help Topanga (Danielle Fishel) overcome her fear of flying--with unexpected results. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: A Very Topanga Christmas
In the series' 100th episode, Cory (Ben Savage) is frustrated over the fact that he and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) each celebrate Christmas in a different fashion--and though he's willing to accept her way, she is unwilling to accept his. As a result, Cory is reluctant to give Topanga her Christams gift, which was to have been a "promise" ring. How will this affect the couple's future? (A word to those Boy Meets World aficionados who know what will eventually happen--PLEASE say nothing!) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Last Tango in Philly
Topanga (Danielle Fishel) and Angela (Trina McGee-Davis) get jobs at a Mexican restaurant, a fact that Cory and Shawn learn to their embarrassment when they make fools of themselves ordering dinner. It gets worse when the girls go out dancing with their handsome coworkers Nunzio (Jonathan Del Arco) and Sergio (Matt Sedeno). Elsewhere, a woman named Katherine (Sue Casey) asks Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) for a date--but he's too self-absorbed to realize it!. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Raging Cory
Cory (Ben Savage) gets into a nasty fight with dad Alan (William Russ), complaining that while Alan is willing to engage in sports with older brother Eric (Will Friedle), he only wants to talk with Cory. Ironically, Eric is mad because Alan is eager to converse wth Cory but not him. Can this crisis be resolved with an impulsive sky-diving session? And on another sibling battlefront, roommates Jack (Matthew Lawrence) and Shawn (Rider Strong) can't seem to make a move without getting on each other's nerves. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: First Girlfriends Club
The romance is gone from Valentine's Day when Topanga (Danielle Fishel) finds out about the passionate letter written to Cory (Ben Savage) by Lauren, the girl he met on his fateful ski trip. Meanwhile, several of the ex-girlfriends of Shawn (Rider Strong) conspire to prevent him from hurting his current sweetie Angela (Trina McGee-Davis). In both cases, extreme measures are taken--if not necessarily called for! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Torn Between Two Lovers (Feeling Like a Fool)
Cory (Ben Savage) is at a crossroads: He can either choose to go out with Lauren (Linda Cardellini), the girl whom he met during his ski trip two weeks ago, or make up with Topanga (Danielle Fishel). Either way, somebody's going to get hurt--maybe everybody. Elsewhere, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) chooses Eric (Will Friedle) as temporary assistant in his American Citizenship class, with the clear understanding that Eric is to do nothing more but pass out pencils and tests...but things don't quite work out that smoothly. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Prom-ises, Prom-ises
To prove their love beyond all doubt, Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) have decided to consummate their relationship on Prom Night. Shawn (Rider Strong) and Angela (Trina McGee-Davis) plan to do likewise--but at the last moment decide that they're not ready. Meanwhile, just when it looks like the Big Event will occur between Cory and Topanga, some unexpected news from Cory's mom Amy (Betsy Randle) abruptly changes the whole direction of Boy Meets World (at least during this episode!) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: If You Can't Be With the One You Love...
Unable to get over his troubles with Topanga (Danielle Fishel), Cory (Ben Savage) attends a party where liquor is available, and quickly starts overindulging. As if that wasn't bad enough, Shawn (Rider Strong) joins Cory in his chug-a-lug session, and as a result both boys are arrested. It would seem that our heroes have learned their lesson--but Shawn has a surprise in store for Cory, to say nothing of the viewing public. When originally telecast by ABC, this episode ended as Ben Savage dropped character to deliver a PSA for the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Eric Hollywood
In the series' most self-referential episode to date, Eric (Will Friedle) is courted by two prestigious drama schools after appearing in a college production of "Romeo and Juliet". Instead, he chooses a role in the popular ABC sitcom "Kid Gets Acquainted with the Universe"--and in case anyone misses the resemblance to you-know-what, the show's stars are "Ben Sandwich" and "Schneider Strong." The experience proves to be most disillusioning for Eric when he finds out that the actors are the exact opposites of their TV characters, sometimes nastily so. Meanwhile, a bad case of chicken pox may patch up the damaged friendship between Shawn (Rider Strong) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Things Change
Cory (Ben Savage) and Angela (Trina McGee-Davis) are accepted by Pennbrook College, Topanga (Danielle Fishel) gets acceptance letters from both Pennbrook and Yale. . .and Shawn is stuck on a waiting list. Feeling left out of things, Shawn declares that he isn't going to college as planned, but instead will take a job as a photographer's assistant. Thus, in keeping with the title of this episode,"things change"--and those changes include a major one in the life of Mr. Feeny (William Daniels). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: And Then There Was Shawn
Boy Meets World takes a break from several weeks' worth of angst over the romance between Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) with this wild-and-wooly takeoff of the popular horror flick Scream (which was something of a takeoff itself). While Cory (Ben Savage) and his friends are serving weekend detention, a shrouded killer begins picking the students off one by one. Everyone panics but Shawn (Rider Strong), who has seen enough scary movies to figure out what will happen next--at least until Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) turns up murdered as well! It's giving nothing away to reveal that the whole experience is literally a nightmare...and keep an eye out for Jennifer Love Hewitt, more or less playing herself. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Starry Night
After camping out in line all night to score two tickets for a one-time-only Van Gogh exhibit, Cory (Ben Savage) is upset that Topanga (Danielle Fishel) has gone to the exhibit with Angela (Trina McGee-Davis) instead. Worse still, while staring at the immortal "Starry Night", Topanga meets a handsome guy named Ricky (Jonathan Jackson). The plot thickens when, after several weeks of refusing to believe Cory's insistence that his kissing of another girl "means nothing", Topanga is herself the recipient of a lip-lock from Ricky! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Honesty Night
Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) are together again (finally!), but pretend to still be apart so that Shawn (Rider Strong) can have the privilege of "reuniting" them. This strategy proves to be the latest in a long line of blunders in the Cory-Topanga relationship, resulting in yet another breakup. Will Cory retreat to the arms of Lauren (Lauren Cardellini) while Topanga does likewise with Ricky, or can Shawn come to the rescue for real? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Graduation
It's Graduation Day, and although Cory (Ben Savage) does not want Topanga (Danielle Fishel) to go off to Yale, he hides his true feelings and tells her that it's okay. Meanwhile, Shawn (Rider Strong) feigns indifference to the whole graduation process, and Eric (Will Friedle) tries to persuade Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) to give up his retirement plans. In addition to offering return visits by former series regulars Blake Soper (Joey), Ethan Suplee (Frankie) and Lee Norris (Minkus), this fifth-season cliffhanger finale of Boys Meets World is highlighted by an unexpected proposal of marriage--all the more surprising when one considers the person who is proposing! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: The Eskimo
A frustrated Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) threatens to flunk Cory (Ben Savage), Shawn (Rider Strong) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) unless they try to meet a set of personal "perseverance" goals he has established. Shawn's goal would seem to be the most unattainable: he is to locate two Super Bowl tickets with Cory's help--and without Topanga butting in! Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) and Jack (Matthew Lawrence) try to use random selection to find their "ideal" girlfriends. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Heartbreak Cory
Having sprained his ankle during the senior class ski trip, Cory is nursed back to health by pretty Lauren (Linda Cardellini, in her first series appearance). Inevitably, he is attracted to the girl--but can't admit it without hurting Topanga (Danielle Fishel). Alas, that is just what happens when Cory and Lauren end up sharing a kiss...and Topanga find out by sheerest accident. Yes, it's another pivotal episode of Boy Meets World. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
