Boy Meets World: Train of Fools
Eric (Will Friedle), Cory (Ben Savage), Shawn (Rider Strong) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) plan to spend New Year's Eve at a party. That all of them would end up stranded in a stalled subway car is the furthest thought from their minds--so guess what happens? Making matters worse (if such a thing is possible), Eric is steamed at Cory for inadvertently ruining his hot date with supermodel Rebecca-Alexa (Angela Visser). Watch for future Buffy the Vampire Slayer costar Charisma Carpenter as a caterer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: My Best Friend's Girl
It's the first day of school again as Boy Meets World launches its third season. Having spent the entire summer trying to work up the nerve to ask out his classmate Topanga (Danielle Fishel), Cory (Ben Savage)--who somehow has aged two years since last we saw him!--feels betrayed when he is beaten to it by his best friend Shawn (Rider Strong), leading to a showdown in the apartment Shawn shares with teacher Jonathan Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn). And Eric deals with the devil--specifically, tough guys Frankie (Ethan Suplee) and Joey (Blake Sennett)--to drum up business for the school film society's screening of Paint Your Wagon. New to the cast are Lindsay Ridgeway, taking over from Lily Nicksay in the role of Cory's sister Morgan, and Alex Desert as Eli Williams--and keep an eye out for a very young Brittany Murphy as Topana's best friend Trini. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Hometown Hero
Cory (Ben Savage) is hailed as a hero for triggering a fire alarm that saved both Adams High and the school janitor. Noticing that Cory seems a bit too eager to accept all the adulation, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) suspects that there's something very wrong. And as usual, Feeny is right: Cory and Shawn had accidentally set off the alarm (and the fire!) during a nocturnal foray into the school to turn in their overdue chemistry papers. The trick is to get the "hero" to tell the truth before the Big Lie overwhelms him. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: This Little Piggy
Big-hearted Shawn (Rider Strong) adopts "Little Cory", an abandoned baby pig. Though Mr. Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn) allows Shawn to keep the pig in the apartment, Topanga (Danielle Fishel) insists that the animal would be better off on a farm. As the debate heats up between Shawn and Topanga, Cory (Ben Savage) finds himself stuck in the middle--or should that be "pig in the middle"? Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) tries to bribe his way into a prestigious college by taking Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) to an opera...and guess who ends up getting the most out of the experience! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: The Last Temptation of Cory
While Topanga (Danielle Fishel) is sick at home, Cory (Ben Savage) discovers to his amazement that he can't kept the girls away from him--especially one of the school's most popular girls, Missy Lawrence (Elizabeth Harnois). Inevitably, Cory and Missy share a kiss, a fact that he hopes to conceal from Topanga...fat chance. Elsewhere, Eric (Will Friedle) is hoodwinked into buying an autographed sports memento of highly dubious value. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Truth and Consequences
As part of an assignment for Media Arts teacher Mr. Williams (Alex Desert), Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) covertly begin work on a video about high-school janitor Bud (Bob Larkin).

As a result, Bud is fired--two months before he was to retire on a full pension! Fans will be very surprised to find out who's the "hero" of this story. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: What I Meant to Say
Sensing that Topanga (Danielle Fishel) is avoiding him for some reason or other, Cory (Ben Savage) decides it's high time that he declare his love for her. Alas, the moment he speaks those Three Little Words, the outraged Topanga breaks up with him--and Cory has absolutely no idea what he's done wrong. Elsewhere in this pivotal episode, Eli Williams (Alex Desert) becomes Medias Art teacher at John Adams High. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Trouble is, Mr. Turner has arranged for Shawn to spend the weekend with Cory's family. Never one to let down a friend, Cory (Ben Savage) assures Shawn that his parents are going to be staying out very late one evening, allowing him ample time with Veronica--but as usual, the best-laid plans "gang aft a'gley." Elswhere, Eric (Will Friedle) tries to get an easy "A" by buying a term paper, only to discover that Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) is way ahead of him. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Unaware that his parents Amy (Betsy Randle) and Alan (William Russ) are planning a 20th anniversary party, Eric (Will Friedle) decides to throw a "rave"on the same day at the same time. When Cory (Ben Savage) finds out, he suggests that Eric combine the two parties without allowing his parents to catch on--a scheme that works for about, oh, three minutes. The final sequence could be called "The Monkees Meet the Partridge Family"--the musical group that Cory organizes to play for his parents is comprised of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Peter Tork, and their manager is ol' "Reuben Kincaid" himself, Dave Madden! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: He Said, She Said
Consulting the school's new guidance counselor Devon (Amy Leland), Shawn (Rider Strong) explains that he's not trying harder because he's not going to college, so what's the use? In an effort to show she understands what he's going through, Devon replies that she once felt the same way and decided to take time to consider her future, which she did during a trip to Europe. Unfortunately, Shawn hears only the "trip to Europe" part and begins drawing up plans to run off to Paris! In other developments, former school bully Harley (Danny McNulty) busts out of reform school for a showdown with the heir to his "throne", Griff Hawkins (Adam Scott); trouble is, no one cares. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Instead, the opposite happens: Thanks to their association with Frankie, Cory and Shawn now find themselves much feared by all the younger kids in school! Of course, there's a moral and a "surprise" revelation lurking within this situation, so stay with the episode until the end. Meanwhile, Mr. Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn) is upset when his wealthy ex-girlfriend Melanie (Eliza Coyle), who'd spurned him because he'd given up a life of luxury to become a teacher, returns to town. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Now that Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) have broken up, Shawn (Rider Strong) advises Cory to plunge back into the dating pool.

Boy Meets World: The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
Dana Pruitt (Larisa Oleynik) is willing to go on one date with Shawn (Rider Strong), but not a second date, thanks to his bad reputation. Instead, Cory (Ben Savage) goes out with Dana--and Shawn demands a full report on the evening's events. Determined to win over Dana, Shawn goes out of his way to do the things he thinks she likes best...and the results are surprising (for THIS TV series, anyway!) Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) applies for an apprentice job at a local TV station, competing with several other students who are frankly better qualified--and much smarter. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: Stormy Weather
Now that he's an intern at a local TV station, Eric (Will Friedle) is devoting so much time and energy to the job that his grades (none too good to begin with) are suffering. In fact, if Eric doesn't start buckling down, there's a strong possibility that he won't graduate. Problem is, Eric doesn't care at this point: he quits school to pursue his lifelong dream of being a meterorologist, blissfully unaware that a job of this nature requires at the very least a high school diploma!

Eric (Will Friedle), upset over bitter words exchanged between himself and Cory, plans to head for college and never return to Philadelphia. And Shawn (Rider Strong) has hit the road with his rolling-stone father Chet (Blake Clark). Fortunately, the episode ends with the promise of good things to come in Season Four--but with very few hints as to what will actually transpire. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: I Was a Teenage Spy
Any resemblance that Boy Meets World ever had with the REAL world was smashed to bits in this episode, wherein a microwave accident transports Cory (Ben Savage) back to the year 1957. Because of his foreknowledge of Russia's Sputnik space satellite, Cory is suspected of being a Soviet spy by everyone except a pair of oddly familiar high schoolers named Shawnzie (Rider Strong) and T.L. (Danielle Fishel). The episode's "Happy Days" ambience is amplified by the presence of Tom Bosley, Anson Williams and Pat Morita in the guest cast! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Elsewhere, Eric (Will Friedle) has dreams of making millions from the junk in the family garage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Boy Meets World: The Happiest Show on Earth
The recent acquistion of ABC by Disney is shamelessly plugged in this episode.
