The Halloween episode from season 5 is my favorite episode of the show. "We'll always know that he was this tall." 🤣

Boys Meets World was a great show - and I liked the college years - I think the show could have been better if they let Eric be a real person that was sometimes silly instead of a bumbling idiot- it became cartoonish and super unrealistic .

Honestly, I felt this show was solid all the way to the end.

It surprises me to see so many people don’t like the college years, they’re some of my favorite.

I can tell you exactly when girl meets world died. The episode where Shawn and Angela reunited, and Angela revealed that she was marrying someone else.

The show never died. It’s an iconic part of tv history

Shawn’s character remains the most compelling, relatable and well-acted from beginning to end. His story arc is gripping and inspired… almost out of place in the earlier seasons with so much surface, silly sitcom plot points. In 2023, his is the only one that holds up as one that could still be relevant to teens today

The series finale was very sad. When Topanga)Danielle Fishel) was crying for real, I started criying.😭I didn’t notice it before, but Rider Strong’s tears were real. I am glad that William Daniels is still alive and that group of people stay in touch with him and spend time with him.❤

I disagree here... hear me out. The show is called boy meets world, and while yes high school certainly feels like the whole world... one year in college will prove to you that it certainly is not. That being said having these characters experience college is pretty fantastic, and frankly Angela leaving though very unpopular... man does it hit home when you get as old as me and have had an Angela or two in your life. This is a rare series that keeps on giving the older you get.

One of the best parts growing up in the 90s.

Even if the Graduation episode was the case (I can see why NOW) BUT it definitely jumped the ship in season 7! In Season 6, Cory and company went to college and learned the real world, Eric learned true heartbreak when he lost Rachel to Jack and Alan and Amy had their baby with scary first few days! Also Feeny found love with the college dean (Daniels real life wife). But in Season 7, Rachel and Jack broke up making her a useless character only kept due to wanting another female on show, Eric became insane so much that Alan had no faith in him after two were like glue, Angela and Shawn dated and broke up again. Also no prominent storyline with new Matthews baby hell could have done a babysit storyline with Cory and Topanga learning what having babies would be like, no storyline with Morgan maybe Cory and her could have had a storyline what their lack of sibling relationship is (non existent), honestly once Cory and Topanga got married the writers had nothing left and just tried to get stuff to stick.

They're all good in their own way. The show kept reinventing itself with new characters and new set pieces with constant character development. The Cory/Topanga story never got stale because the show felt different every season.

They ruined Eric.

Boy Meets World was a very underrated show, especially from Season 2 on when it grew from its original premise.

Although personally i enjoyed the show from start to finish and never felt it outstayed its welcome, i can totally understand your thoughts on it too. The final two years were quite different to the first 5, but as you covered in the video each season was different in quite noticeable ways and it never felt stagnant. I think i loved this show so much while growing up and still do re-watched because it really did nail the differences over those years of your life. Maybe i'm just making excuses for a show i love, but i feel the somewhat chaotic nature of character progressions and some uneven arcs actually fit so well because thats exactly what it was like growing up. Both in terms of relationships and morals, i found myself all over the place as a teenager, continually redefining what love was and straddling the line between good and bad behaviour. This was a great summary for the show, it was really nice seeing it all condensed and summarised so nicely. I think its about time to do another binge watch 😂

Wait - minkus was done after season 1? Dang

I loved the Whacky Eric and the Feeny call

Remember when Morgan disappeared?

It died later on by marrying off Cory and Topanga too soon, breaking up Shawn and Angela, also making Shawn way too much of a drama queen.

I would’ve like to have seen more episodes like the brotherly shove episode. Or more Shawn and Eric conversations like when Eric and Shawn discussed Eric’s dilemma of Jack and Rachel dating.

Nice to see them at different ages. Mr. Feeny was a cool constant, like Wilson from home improvement. Interesting about Shawn's deadbeat mom, almost never talked about nowadays.

Another ABC/Disney show that had an organic ending but they kept it going. If they had ended with the graduation, that would've made Boy Meets World one of the best 90s sitcoms as they went out on a high note.

I'm probably in the minority, but I personally think the college episodes were the best and most relatable. Peak humor for me!

This show is part of my young adulthood. I cherish it along withFull House, Fresh Prince, among others. I knew at some point it had to end but, oh my, how sad I was every time ine of "my shows" came to an end. Thank you for the memories and for better times.

I think the fact that as the series went on, it focused less and less on Cory's relationship with his family, and slowly shifted more towards his dynamic with his friends and developing his own life does make sense, when you think about it. When we start off as kids, unless you grow up in some extreme situation, you likely end up an environment in which your parents and family establish for you. Hence, whey the show focuses on Cory's dynamic with his family in the first season because that's how it's like for all of us. When we're kids, our family plays a key role in who we are in life. But as most of us get older, we tend to move away from spending as much time with our parents, and slowly hanging out with our friends. Making our own choices in life without them, and establishing who we are as we get older. This is also why when kids get into high school, you'll notice most of them don't hang out with their parents as much as they used to growing up. It's just how life is, and I think that was the main reason the show tried to reflect that as seasons went on. Granted, they did it in the most laughably inconsistent way possible, but I've seen other shows do worse. I don't think "Boy Meets World" was a bad series. It was a good one. Granted, it'll always come off as a poor man's version of the "Wonder Years" for me, but that's just my opinion.

Im literally rewatching this series now! One of my favorites as a kid and I still love it. I’m not a huge fan of the first season, but I don’t think it ever ‘died’ before it was over

After watching this episode I realized after all these years Morgan never had her shine in the show sometimes you forget she’s even there

Topanga has beautiful hair then and now❤

For me Boy meets world died with Mr Turners accident. The shows main focus was values and morals, how sometimes it’s not easy to make the right decision. After Mr Turner is written out of the show, the college years start and Eric becomes a complete idiot. Eric in the beginning years was a cool kid who got the girls. By the end of the show he’s barely able to function as a human being.

Topanga was/is just so beautiful

Seasons 2-4 were epic

Great show! Girl Meets World just didn’t have the same charm though, different times and different values.

Overall the show was decent the only issues i had was.. 1. Cory, lauren, and topanga arc. Cory admits he likes another girl, then they go out he had a great time with lauren there was chemistry. Then out if nowhere he says no contest i can live without lauren. Then why did you even have to think about your decision then if it was so easy. It made no sense . Lauren was likable it wouldve been interesting seeing cory date lauren for awhile then him and topanga rekindle later. 2. Erics character assassination. Will is hilarious he makes it work but eric had potential he was somewhat serious but goofy. Then they made him an idiot. Also insinuated he was crazy ruined the character.

I grew up watching this show, I felt like this show was so relatable to kids my age back then. I married my high school sweetheart in 2003 and still married with 2 kids.

Boy Meets World died when they did Eric dirty in the college years.

I was hoping you would do this type of video for Boy Meets World!! I loved this show!

MR. FEENEY! MR. FEENY! MR. FEEHEEEHEENY!

Didn't even mention cheats death. One of the hardest episodes.

Tbh the first half is so rewatchable I liked the more lightheartedness the college years got a bit too serious and dramatic overall or way too goofy but its still a fun watch and Im glad we have it. The new cast were also great additions and created iconic dynamics like Eric and Jack so I cant say the show over stayed and should've ended sooner. I still love elements of thw college years.

My biggest gripe with the show honestly.... isnt withe the storylines. Because they were always a bit sappy/life lesson. It's with two character and they're a big part on why i actaully watched the show. It's Corey and Eric. The both were insufferable in completely different ways. Corey couldn't be a human without topanga. Its what his whole character became about. It drove me nuts. Same plot, but with the original characteristics of Corey would have been amazingly funny because he would have not been so persuaded by anything in order to seem sensitive to topanga. Then there's... Eric. Who became such a bumbling idiot that it was like he was in a different show. Nothing of substance was given to him. They also kept shifting the tone wildly from one way with him to another that it really was jarring to see. No organic transition. But again the story was fine enough that if you had him not be silly over the top to dramatic and sad in the next id think it would have went smoother.

Great video. This was one of my favorite shows growing up!

Great summary of my favorite show!

Thank you so much for this, I used to watch this in the 90s and wasn’t sure what season it was. 👍

I mostly liked the show except for how bad Shawn's life was and to make it worse his dad dies. Give the dude a break

i love this show cant imagine it ever going bad

OMG I am watching this show since discovering the podcast "Pod meets world" with some of the cast (Topanga, Eric, and Shawn) watching every ep and talking about them - and even having other cast as cameo/interviews (Mr Feeny, Corey's dad, etc). I LOVE this show... I found this cuz of Girl Meets World, which I love (though it loses its value in it's later seasons).

in all honesty in later seasons it felt like cory was not the main charecter it felt like shawn or eric was

Seasons 3, 4, and 5 are the best.

This video took me down memory lane🔥🔥🔥 Thanks bro

Another home run of a episode, suggestions for future when (Insert Show) died episodes: Dragon Ball Z Sliders The Facts of Life Dallas Dukes of Hazzard Star Trek: The Next Generation

Wow as a kid watching this show I did not realize how Repetitive this show feels, even more than Home Improvement. But I guess that's why I enjoyed it so much, so much so it was one of my most anticipated shows during the TGIF Block. But the upside is at least they had a really excellent Touchy Feely Tear Jerker Scene in the Series Finally even more than the Frasier's Series Finally. And finally I would also say this though that little scene where Cory and Shawn where debating who they would rather have as their Father Batman or Superman, has been stuck in my mind all of these years for some reason.

4:32 Which might ask a question: Is the "Boy" who has to Meet the World actually is Shawn and not Cory?

The show declined in quality in the last two seasons but were still good enough with interesting stories that lined that they still qualified as a great show. Corey and Topanga's engagement and wedding and marriage, Shawn and Angela's love story, Shawn and Jack losing their dad, Amy having a difficult birth and the baby almost not making it, even the college stuff like Topanga begin sexually harassed by her professor and Shawn discovering he loves poetry, those stories are so important to the overall lore of the show and the characters, that it feels wrong to say that they shouldn't count in the overall history of the Boy Meets World.

Man I love this channel

This is one of the few “the day the show died” videos I strongly disagree with. Those final seasons were written quite well despite some very noticeable flaws. Dealing with “the world” and trying to adjust to new environments and living conditions is what gave the show more authenticity.

Excellent review

Looking forward to the Boy Meets World mistakes episode!!!

I miss the good ol 90,s. This was a good show to grow up with.

This is definitely one of my favorites shows ive seen every episode... and to think i only started watching this show cause Ben Savage was the little brother of Fred Savage and i was a fan of The Wonder Years... i gave boy meets world a try n i was hooked

I liked all 7 seasons but the earlier seasons had more heart. Sometimes it felt like they were trying to turn the show into "Friends"

i agree wit this video 100 percent..i always told all my friends that watched this show that after they graduate the show goes way down hill and dies...when they go to college it just wasnt the same show

It may have been when redheaded actress Maitland Ward became an adult movie star, as she currently is.

I remember Watching Boy Meets World Friday Nights on ABC

Nice work

@6:08 you could just see the hurt in Feeny's eyes when he saw his house like that. 😢

Eric’s yelling Mr. Feeny was funny.

How funny I was just thinking a couple days ago I was going to ask you to make a boy meets world when it died video and so I typed your channel in the search bar to see if you had made any more when the show died videos and there’s boy meets world. I’m proud to say before I started the episode I asked myself where is he going to say it died and then so I started to think about when I thought the show died. And I said graduation so we agreed although I love all seven seasons boy meets world is my favorite show of all time and I’ve seen it 1 million times it’s my comfort show to fall asleep to at night.

This is one of my favorite shows of all time

What I didn’t like about the show is how they sped up their ages. I think the show should have just stayed in high school and graduated instead of skipping the college. The whole, forcing them to get married young was a boring move.

I always loved this show

the first season was my favourite. that seems to be the case with most shows though..

i loved watching Boy Meets World as a kid my favorite character was Jack and my favorite duo was Jack and Eric can you do Friends next please

This was the show that defined my childhood. I still watch it all the way through every year. I do wish I could change some of the things you complained about. Especially Shawn and Angela. And Eric becoming an idiot.

Fun Fact Films, when ‘Mr. Feeny’ talked to Cory, Eric, Shawn, Topanga at the end of the final episode, I cried. I’m crying now, too. I was 23 when the show began and 30 when the it ended. So, there’s that.

Very good video! I’m impressed with how much thought you have for Boy Meets World. You should do a video of When That 70s Show “Instantly” Died. To me, it died on the season seven finale when Eric Forman went to Africa and the last season sucked from the start to the near finish.

And then, they really thought they could revive it with Girl Meets World.

Can you please do power ranges next

Just gonna skip right over Shawn's father dying, huh? But yeah, show kind of felt like it was going down after season 4 IMO. Of course, as a kid, it was just great to get more and more BMW, so it didn't matter the quality. Nowadays, it's easier to have a critical eye.

Honestly very few shows are so good for so long the comedy the innocence and all tye character storyline add up with so much maturity

Series ended in May, 2000, after 7 seasons.

I agree with this conclusion. Watching this show was a fun part of being a teenager in the 90s. I think the graduation episode might have been the last one I really watched. I don't remember watching the last 2 seasons.

I don't think it died at all...it sort of evolved as it progressed along and the storylines never seemed tired or stale

When The College Years began that killed the series most High School shows that transition into The College Years usually fail

Thanks to Disney+ I just found this show I never really knew about (minus a couple of moments seen randomly on tv) and decided to check it out. I'm literally a couple of episodes in (and I listened to the podcast episode about the pilot episode today, very entertaining stories). So far it seems to be the clasic family sitcom. I like it so far. I am a bit scared of what is going to come and if I'm gonna like the changes.

I love this show from beginning to end as well

Oh man....the college years were worth it alone for all the zany episodes like when they did their own version of Casablanca or the epic feud that started with Rachel banning Shawn and Cory from her dorm only to have them put her car in her room later that night xD

Another show that should’ve lasted 5 years although I never really showed interest in it. Excellent video! Detailed and insightful, more please.

That’s wild, didn’t realize she was only in 12 episodes 😮

Also in season 1 Shawn lived in a house and his dad and uncles were mechanics which he talks about in the career day episode then they made him poor

Agreed. The graduation episodes should have been 3rd to last, wedding 2nd to last, and last episode wrap everyone story and into "the real world"

The last season was wacky but at least it ended on a good note

They also brought the show back at one point idk if it's still around but there is a girl meets world with Cory and tapanga daughter in school

IMO, season 5. The Lauren storyline was the last great story the show had to tell. Eric was beyond stupid, Cory was non sensical, the show was either hyper serious or comically divorced from reality. The fact it last another few years is what I call the Happy Days effect. A show that's just successful enough to stay on the air but it's quality is just in the toilet.

I agree that the series kind of died at the end of Season 5, they could have ended it with the HS graduation and all of us 90s kids would have been happy. Boy Meets World was one of my favorite show. I didn't think that Girl Meets World was that bad either when I watched it with my goddaughter.

I watch this show for 1 reason... growing up .Topanga if you didn't have a crush on her growing up then we can't be friends ❤

sometime during the lauren arc was the dip. Senior year of HS felt closer to the college years imo

That wasn’t the middle school classroom, it was his high school classroom.

That last season for me was a total letdown because they turned Eric into a total buffoon character, Cory and Topanga became a boring married couple, Shawn fell in love with Angela and more or less became a Cory 2.0, Jack had no direction really, and Rachel was more or less just....there. The only highlight through the entire course of the show was Mr. Feeny played by William Daniels, who was just a brilliant actor from his St. Elsewhere years as well.

Corey's love can't go unchallenged 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

First, great video. Second, I think the series died when Feeny was brought back as their professor. Kind of hard to suspend my disbelief that he would have taught Cory in middle school, high school, AND college.
