A proposito di questo titolo
 In this episode of How It Started, How It Ended, Angela and Bobby revisit the pilot and series finale of Boy Meets World, the ABC sitcom that followed Cory Matthews from middle school through adulthood. A staple of the network’s TGIF lineup, the show ran for seven seasons, from 1993 to 2000.Angela remembers Boy Meets World as one of her favorite shows of the 1990s, even though she was older than its intended audience. Bobby, on the other hand, never watched it, despite being a fan of The Wonder Years and recognizing the connection through Fred Savage’s younger brother, Ben. They discuss the show's coming-of-age format, its creators Michael Jacobs and April Kelly, and a cast that included William Daniels as the memorable teacher George Feeny.The pilot introduces 11-year-old Cory, his family, his older brother Eric, and his complicated relationship with Mr. Feeny, who turns out to be his next-door neighbor. Angela and Bobby discuss the episode's focus on first love and family relationships, Cory's disappointment when Eric abandons their plans to attend a Phillies game, and the unexpectedly touching moment when Cory sees Mr. Feeny alone at dinner. They also notice what isn't there: Topanga, who would become one of the show's defining characters, does not appear in the pilot.The series finale, “Brave New World,” takes a different approach, using flashbacks to revisit the relationships and moments that shaped the characters. As Cory and Topanga prepare to move to New York, Shawn and Eric make plans of their own, while Jack and Rachel prepare to join the Peace Corps. Angela and Bobby look at how the characters have changed, including Eric's transformation from the cool older brother into the show's comic relief. They also discuss the evolving relationships between Cory and Shawn, Cory and Topanga, and the young adults and their mentor, Mr. Feeny.The finale ends with one last visit to Mr. Feeny's classroom. After years of advice and life lessons, the group says goodbye. For Angela, the flashbacks and emotional send-off bring the series together in a satisfying way. Bobby agrees, even though he came to the show without the history of having watched it.Verdict: Boy Meets World sticks the landing. The two-part finale gives longtime viewers a chance to revisit the characters' journeys while providing a meaningful conclusion to Cory's coming-of-age story.In this episode:Angela's memories of watching Boy Meets World and other 1990s teen-oriented showsHow Boy Meets World fit into ABC's TGIF lineupThe show's coming-of-age format and its connection to The Wonder YearsCreators Michael Jacobs and April KellyWilliam Daniels' career before playing Mr. FeenyThe casting of Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, and Will FriedleWhy Topanga wasn't in the pilotThe pilot's story about Cory, Eric, and the Phillies gameMr. Feeny's lesson about love and the discovery that he lives next doorThe show's music, laugh track, and references to other ABC programsHow the finale uses flashbacks to revisit important moments in the characters' livesEric's transformation from popular older brother to comic reliefHow Cory and Topanga's relationship developedShawn Hunter's friendship with Cory and relationship with Angela MooreThe surprising timeline of the characters' school yearsThe significance of the final scene in Mr. Feeny's classroomWhy Boy Meets World ended after seven seasonsThe sequel series Girl Meets World and Sabrina Carpenter's early roleThe Pod Meets World rewatch podcastThe documentary Doc Meets World and the cast's reflections on their time on the showWhy Angela and Bobby agree that Boy Meets World stuck the landingShows and people discussed:ShowsBoy Meets WorldThe Wonder YearsSaved by the BellFamily MattersFull HouseCharles in ChargeMy Two DadsMork & MindySt. ElsewhereThe GraduateKnight RiderThe Fresh Prince of Bel-AirBlossomAmerica's Funniest Home VideosLostGirl Meets WorldDoc Meets WorldPeopleBen SavageFred SavageMichael JacobsApril KellyWilliam DanielsDustin HoffmanRider StrongWill FriedleWilliam RussBetsy RandleDanielle FishelTrina McGeeSabrina CarpenterFrank PacePodcastsPod Meets WorldSend us Fan MailIf you enjoyed the show, follow How It Started, How It Ended wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok for more conversations about the TV shows that got us hooked—and whether they delivered the ending they deserved.
