Allen blaming Shawn about influencing Cory to drink was a really painful but real scene cause up to that point he had supported Shawn but he suddenly turned on him, going back to stereotypes. Great scene.

@11:30 HUGE thing to point out - when Shawn says "it's okay" after Alan apologizes and Alan immediately says no, it's not... that's a big deal. So many people default to saying "it's okay" after receiving an apology. Whether we're consciously aware of it or not, accepting an apology by saying "it's okay" can make it seem like what happened was okay and completely dismiss the harm it caused. Toxic people thrive on that, and will continue to keep saying and doing hurtful things. The writers show a lot of wisdom in making sure that Alan makes a point of firmly saying it wasn't okay and apologized again.

Of all the characters he had it rough the most. And im glad he had his happy ending on girl meets world by marrying the woman he loves and finally had his own family to take care of. He went from losing his loved ones to gaining friends, love and family. He's def one of my fave character on the show.

i was crying but i laughed when the teacher said "did u guys now you were fighting each other"

Rewatching this in my 30’s, it hits differently. As a kid, I felt like the show painted it as though Cory was the good influence on Shawn, keeping him from drowning in the sea of things stacked against him. Deadbeat parents, unstable home life, poverty, etc. But rewatching it as an adult, we see that while Cory was a constant source of goodness for Shawn, Shawn still had to put in the work. It doesn’t matter how much good influences are in your life- it’s down to you to make good choices.

The scene that make me in tears is when Shawn cried to Chet because he don't wanna lose him. But at last Shawn lost him. It's not just sitcom comedy but there's some scene in any seasons being serious scene. I love this show, but when Shawn lost Chet and the doctor tell Shawn Chet passed away, I'm in tears

7:12 “This is between me-,” (points to Shawn) “-and Shawn” points to himself

Shawn talking to god while at Turner’s bedside in the hospital is so heartbreaking, especially 22:03, “I don’t wanna be empty inside anymore”

“He didn’t know anything….he’s just cute and fun to watch.” What a scene of social status but still through years

Cory is such an amazing friend to shawn he always had his back

I love seeing Cory REFUSING to let Shawn run from his emotions or mistakes. "I'm not going anywhere."

Props to Cory for being the definition of a true Blue friend

As a troubled kid with an alcoholic father who was never there and a single mom on disability. The character of Shawn was one I really could relate to. Rider is an incredible actor I hope he gets more roles soon

I love that Cory is not perfect and he doesn’t always make the best decisions but his deep love and absolute loyalty to Shawn is everything that matters in the world. Shawn loves him just the same but he’s always terrified of not being good enough for and losing him and his growth over the show to realize the Mathews are his true family.

Shawn and turner’s relationship was so great he was exactly what he needed but Turner also needed Shawn

I loved the episode where Shaun gets to see what it's like being a woman for a night. His line, "You're too busy planning your next move to hear us say no" is so perfect!

Allan blaming Shawn about influencing Cory to drink was painful but a very realistic everyday scenario. The moral of stereotypes was golden!

And the award for the storylines that will never end up on a Disney Channel show today goes to.....

How Rider Strong didn't blow up from this role feels like a crime

Shawn had some of the best character development of all of the main cast. Him and Eric were the most relatable characters on the show.

When Cory said “this is a hug!” I did that to my best friend to make sure she never did anything wrong again.

Shawn was the main character even though he was the support.

The scene where Shawn is drinking and he pushes Angela off.. you can tell that as an actor he had to for the scene… but the actor as himself instinctively “shoves” her by spinning and not really pushing her. And pulling his hands back as not to hit her as his spin follows through. The reaction is so genuine and he really doesn’t want to hurt anyone even if it isn’t real. 😭

Always wanted a friendship like Cory and shawn

Now we just need 30 minutes of Shawn being hot ♥️

1:26 I like how Shawn's natural voice wasn't deep enough to shock him

12:24 man, Jack was such a great addition to the show

1 of the saddest moment was when Chet told Shawn he’s staying for good but then he ends leaving for good instead😭

I feel like Shawn was the most interesting character on BMW. When he was going through all the rough times in his life, Cory was always there for him to stand up and make him feel better. His character is so unique and I deeply appreciate it. ❤

On a lighter note, I was sad when Shawn cut his hair in college. He had great hair. I loved that episode where Topanga cut her hair to teach Cory a lesson and Shawn was like My hair does this! lol

I had Shawn's life to some degree. No real happiness. Dead beat parents. Being the eternal victim. I had to make very tough decisions. To the point where even my identity was destroyed and i didn't even know myself until it was too late. While resolving one wound, fresh wounds were given over time and i had to resolve that too. A vicious cycle. I met people that were so kind to me, even when some of them died. Either in my arms or when I couldn't be around. Walking day in and out where ever and who ever could love me. That love never dies. You meet people and you change for the better and be the role model people need. So the next person gets a breathe of life for once. So they can be free to actually exist. I love this show. People try to make new versions of these shows and they are out there trust me. It does feel like there isn't anything good. Never give in. That voice is a lie. Never give in or give up. Corey spent his whole life trying to pull this boy from the dark. Life does get better with time. Time does heal all wounds but what time does is teach you to always be self aware of yourself and love yourself enough that even when your frustrated Self is speaking, yelling or crying. Give yourself a hug. As stupid as that sounds. You only got one you. Everyone else only got one you. Sometimes that is enough. Gotta accept that pain and the past eventually becomes just that. You learn to live presently even in a dark place. Find a life in the dark to guide the way and everything will be as right as rain. I am starting to sound like my mentor lmao and i am in tears right now watching these clips. I came on these videos cuz of the Maya girl meets world thing. What a fucking time capsule. Stay safe and face yourself in the mirror. You'll be okay whoever you are ☺

I think Rider Strong is a very good actor. He did really well in the emotional moments. I have the same feeling about Will Friedel.

The amount of times Jack feels the need to say “He’s my father too” and the way Shawn treats him when Chet is dying is sad

Watching this video and the first part, I realize that Corey's voice changes three times over the course of the show while Shawn's voice stays the same

I loved Shawn so much. His character seemed so real and relatable.

God, i don't want to be empty inside anymore. What a real prayer.

Shawn was really the boy meeting the world 🥹

I can relate to Shawn, I've been in situations where I could've crossed "The Line" but my friends had my back and I've always had theirs. plus seeing Shawn have his share of problems with everyone in his life (besides his friends and family) but then Cory and his family and Mr. Turner had Shawn's best interests at heart but he always took it for granted. point is, that Shawn has people that will be there for him whenever he's in a dark place due to his runaway mom, his alcoholic father but the Mathews along with Mr. Turner to help him.

The moment Chet died would have been the final straw for many. The moment that once again for the umpteenth time, where Shawn feels that finally he and his dad can be a family, Chet once again leaves. Only this time it's permanent. That hope of someday it hsppening for Shawn is completely gone. Ripped apart for good. Despite both saying "I love you" to one another, Shawn to that moment still didn't accept love as being truly real for him.

The scene where he says I’m an orphan gives me tears every time I see it.

I always feel so bad for Shawn

Omg the messages of love that sting...poor kid has had people fail him many times over. Makes you appreciate how much you love something til it's gone.

worst part about Turner in the hospital is that's the last time we see him in Boy Meets World.

6:30 "You guys know you're fighting each other?"

I still can't believe they took out mr. Turner from the show.. His relationship with Shawn was great.. 😔

It's sad i felt like Shawn up until a couple months ago finally i have realized what i have to offer and I'm going for my goals

Well, the thing is he did grow up as a trouble family and didn’t grow up like Cory did. But the Matthews are sort of Shawn’s second Family throughout the show series

19:00 I agree with topanga, on this specifically, and it's only gotten substantially worse

“You’re Shawn Hunter…you were raised by wolves, you’re MY FRIEND!!! Wtf, Cory??? 🤣🤣

19:10 is pure gold.

Rider Strong is such a great actor. The scene with him and Cory when Chet had a heart attack was so ascetically pleasing

If you think about it, if Shawn didn't have a best friend like Cory in his life, who knows where he would've ended up. Cory was really a true friend to Shawn. No matter how much Shawn got mad at him, he was still there for him the whole way. Now that's a true best friend.

Shawn learned family and caring through Mr. Turner,Mr. Feeny, and the Matthews.

Shawn was the most important character to me because I’m him , nobody gives a shit about my feelings

Every time the show got sad, Shawn was in the middle of it all. GHood thing he at least had his brother Jack.

This actor who play Shawn Hunter is really good actor, he act so real like in real life. Hope he received award for this show.

I love this show so much, i feel so bad for shawn…

Shawn and Turner's relationship is great

I remember watching the cult episode and it taught me about people who really think and act like that. I feel that back then you could learn things from TV, not sure about now.

This made me cry so hard Shawn had such a real but messed up backstory 💔

31:11 gave me tears in my eyes

Boy Meets World Weekly, thank you for posting these clips.

I would love to have a friendship like that

Wow what happened to shows...? There was plenty of fun, but also plenty of real, actual hard life issues. And it was beautiful to be able to see these situations in fictional shows and have something to relate to whenever the issues happened in our own lives.

I love when he says “I don’t know anything I’m just cute and fun to watch” very true

Jonathan Turner really saved Shawn’s life

Shawn turned out to be a great guy 😌

This kind of friendship just doesn't exist anymore, and that's why we're all lonely and depressed, even when we're in relationships or living with "loved ones". People are too self-obsessed these days to care this much about other people

6:19 Shawn didn't want to fight his best friend but Corey did. Shawn had no choice and had to defend himself. I feel bad.😢

I am so glad I’m rewatching this on Pod Meets World

I'll start this by saying that I haven't watched Boy Meets World yet (def going to after this) but from the videos and compilations of the show on KZfaq that I have watched I know that I relate to Shawn in almost every way. We have almost the same personality, style choice, somewhat have the same mindset, absent mother, shitty father, been in some of the same shitty shady situations, we even look like we could be twin brothers. And just seeing this video ESPECIALLY when Chet has his heart attack and Shawn and him have a heart to heart (pun not intended), it just made me so happy to feel represented. To feel seen and heard. To feel like I'm not alone. To see the reconciliation, the closure that me and my father could have. And even though you specifically didn't make this character and his relationships. I still want to thank you for making this video and posting it. Because if you hadn't, I wouldn't feel the way I do now. I genuinely cried because of this video. So sincerely. Thank you!!!

Chet dying got me 😭

i like this actor who played mr turner hes awsome to help out shawn and the issues hes going threw i am glad i have someone in my life whos been like a good mentor to me then my own dad

*sigh* I guess it’s time to watch Boy Meets World again

Awesome vid❤️

21:15 it's really sad that is actually the last episode that I remember Mr. Turner showing up in. I remember because I made a huge deal out of it to my dad like a year later... Mind you, my dad didn't watch the show. I'll look it up, but I distinctly remember never seeing Turner again.

‘Angela’ broke ‘Shawn’s’ heart, but I understand why.

im sorry when i heard “did you know you guys were fighting each other?” i had to laugh

I think that Shawn is a very important character in the show but I am glad I didn’t went through the same family’s issues he did. Because I grew up the way how Cory did.

"You're not boyfriend material" How sad

I love this Show So Much

holy crap...such a powerful show

I don't think Shawn ever apologized for shoving Angela

Jesus. There's a SECOND part? And it's nearly FORTY MINUTES? What did the writers do to this poor guy???

Wow I feel bad and sympathy for Shawn on the show

Too bad, in real life on the show, Cory, Topanga and Cory's older brother Were mean, rude and nasty on the show to Shawn's black girlfriend in College for years Topanga apologized a couple of years ago, but this still shows, those 3 are not good people at all

“You’re not boyfriend material.” *audience laughs*

I feel like I’m starting to see why people prefer this show compared to the spinoff series

Rider was the strongest actor in this show!

Shawn as a girl is soooooooooo pretty 💖💖💖

Shawn kinda had a victim mentality all throughout this show. He was literally just walking trauma and I get it because I lived his life irl but it’s not fair that he acts like Jack isn’t his son. Like isn’t Jack older anyway? It’s not fair to invalidate his experiences just because you had a rough life. They both did.

That pig is cute as heck munchin that lunch

6:02 Shawn suddenly has the voice of pre-pubescent Cory.

too many tear -jerkers with this one

I am an orphan, I'm just an old orphan, lines that I can relate to, people don't understand sometimes, the invitations to be a part of a family, to be excepted by family, it's hard for someone who is not working to accept those invitations, no matter how old they are, because you always feel like it should be your so-called true family or immediate family, so I definitely understand what Shawn was feeling, but, he did get to give someone else a family in Mya and her mother in girl meets world, I understand why they didn't go into it in this collection of scenes, but he had one of the best completions that he could've had. Watching the show as a kid, and revisiting it now is so crazy to see how much I actually relate to him.

Such a real show. Wow I miss this

Saddest part is there are real life Shawn’s but they don’t have a Cory 😢

31:10 hit different 😢

This was a good show, both boys were great actor on this show. They act so real, in real life. They did a great job than any other shows. This show help those who are in trouble in their life, and teach others how to deal with their life.

I like how the show dealt with real issues they let those factors grow up they will no longer children
