Seth Meyers went on an epic Boy Meets World rant on his show Late Night with Seth Meyers, and didn't hold back that Topanga Lawrence (Danielle Fishel) made a mistake by proposing to Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) during their high school graduation. Boy Meets World originally ran on ABC for seven seasons between 1993 and 2000 and followed Cory growing up. One of the main storylines of the show was his relationship with Topanga, showing them growing closer together and eventually getting married.

During the "A Closer Look" segment on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the host reacted to a social media post from Vivek Ramaswamy, which said, "A culture that venerates Cory from 'Boy Meets World,' or Zack & Slater over Screech in 'Saved by the Bell,' or 'Stefan' over Steve Urkel in 'Family Matters,' will not produce the best engineers." After discussing the other two sitcoms,...

Mike Myers says you can’t just make a catchphrase happen. “I’ve never designed a catchphrase. I just like how people talk,” Myers told Vulture late last year. “Remember ‘Get in my belly?’ That was improv. It wasn’t, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, my next catchphrase.’”

But Jaleel White says the producers of Family Matters were intent on creating a signature slogan for his Urkel character. “They tried a million darn catchphrases,” he told Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong and Will Friedle on the Pod Meets World podcast, per People.

It took a while to get to “Did I do that?” White said — and some of the early stabs were pretty lame. “The first one that they ever tried really was Steve would just bump into inanimate objects — an end table or a lamp, knock it over and say, ‘Excuse me.’ That was it.”

Er, easy to see why that one didn’t catch on.

Netflix just launched WWE Raw as a live weekly streaming event and there were plenty of celebs in attendance for the first show!

The cast of Boy Meets World candidly reacts to Mr. Turner's one-sentence sendoff. Played by Anthony Tyler Quinn, the character of Jonathan Turner was important in the early seasons of the family sitcom. Appearing in 51 episodes, which went from season 2 to season 4, Turner develops a fatherly relationship with Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong). It makes it all the more jarring when Mr. Turner is abruptly written off the show after getting into a motorcycle accident, with Quinn not reprising the role until the spinoff Girl Meets World.

With the rewatch podcast Pod Meets World revisiting the season 5 finale "Graduation", which features a joke about the fact that Mr. Turner wanders a part of the school that the protagonists never visit along with other disappeared supporting characters. Danielle Fishel (Topanga) and Will Friedle (Eric) reacted to the Mr. Turner joke, along with Strong, and they shared mixed feelings. While they acknowledged that it was funny,...

The '90s was a complicated time to be a TV teen. While the kids of "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Melrose Place" were entrenched in constant scandalous teen drama, a gentler, more family-friendly version of teen life was drawing in audiences on ABC. "Boy Meets World" ran for an impressive 158 episodes, from 1993 to 2000, and remains a pop cultural touchstone — albeit not quite as potent of one as its cattier primetime counterparts — to this day.

Like every memorable sitcom, "Boy Meets World" knew how to pick a guest star, and several of the actors who showed up across its seven-season run went on to be pretty dang famous. In a few cases, people who were already big-name actors at the time also dropped in on the kids of John Adams High. If you watched the show at a young age, though, you'd be forgiven for not recognizing the industry veterans and...

Danica McKellar has good news for those who didn’t like the original ending of “The Wonder Years” — things may have changed! The actor, who played Winnie Cooper on the sitcom from 1988 to 1993, opened up about how she views the controversial ending.

In the final episode, which aired May 12, 1993, the narrator revealed that Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) and Winnie did not end up together, despite their on-again off-again relationship throughout the series. She went to Paris to get her art degree and Kevin got married to someone else, but the pair remained friends.

“Fans still get upset about it,” McKellar said on the Nov. 25 episode of “Pod Meets World.” She explained that often in the show, “everything didn’t all work out in the end,” which was a way to be relatable to the audience.

“Most of our lives don’t out the way we wanted them too, or thought they were going to,...

For many tweens and teens growing up in the mid-to-late-1990s, Friday nights meant a bucket of popcorn and sitting down in front of the TV for a night of ABC's "Tgif" programming lineup. Shows like "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," "Sister, Sister," and "Boy Meets World" catered to teens while still being family-friendly enough for primetime network TV, but occasionally they delved into topics that were a little more adult to actually have something to say to their teen audiences. "Boy Meets World" eventually ended up in syndication on The Disney Channel, along with several other "Tgif" favorites, but there were three episodes that originally aired on ABC that Disney Channel refused to air themselves.

Banned episodes are nothing new in the world of television — heck, "Frasier," "Family Guy," and "Friends" all have episodes that were banned from airing in one form or another — but the three that were prevented...

Tonight, on a very special episode of Boy Meets World, Shawn gets crunk…Boy Meets World, like many sitcoms (especially of the Disney-backed Tgif variety), had its share of episodes that took on serious issues, hitting on everything from child abuse to teenage sex to cults. But one episode that still sticks with Rider Strong is “If You Can’t Be With the One You Love”, which focused on Shawn Hunter developing an alcohol dependency, something he doesn’t think the show handled well at all.

As Rider Strong remembered of the season five episode of Pod Meets World (the Boy Meets World rewatch podcast he co-hosts), Shawn was seeing “having a good time with Cory and doing handstands and peeing on cop cars and just, like, woohoo, fun loving. And then in that second half, it’s as if he’s a 45-year-old alcoholic who’s like, ‘I can’t stop,...

Lopez Vs Lopez, currently airing its third season on NBC, combines family sitcom antics with a dose of genuine pathos. George Lopez stars as an alcoholic who is forced to move in with his estranged daughter, a status quo shift that forces him to rethink his life and strive to do better for the sake of his daughter, grandson, and the rest of his family. The show is co-created by Mayan Lopez, George's real-life daughter who also stars as George's on-screen progeny.

Danielle Fishel is best known to audiences as Topanga Lawrence, the free-spirited romantic lead in the classic ABC teen-oriented sitcom, Boy Meets World, which ran for seven seasons. She reprised her role in the sequel series Girl Meets World, which ran for three seasons on The Disney Channel. Fishel directed multiple episodes of Girl Meets World and has since gone on to work behind the camera on various Disney Channel shows,...

In a recent episode of the “Pod Meets World” rewatch podcast, actor Rider Strong talked about how uncomfortable he was with a controversial “Boy Meets World” episode that dealt with teen drinking and addiction. He said that he had deep worries about how the show portrayed alcohol abuse.

During the show’s fifth season, Strong’s character Shawn Hunter and Ben Savage’s character Cory Matthews both had problems with drinking in the episode that Disney eventually banned. Strong said his performance was “half-assing it,” which showed he was very uncomfortable with how the episode dealt with a serious issue.

The episode, “If You Can’t Be With the One You Love,” starts with Cory drinking after breaking up with Topanga. It then moves on to Shawn’s drinking problems, which are caused by his family’s history of alcoholism. Strong didn’t like how the episode’s sudden changes...

Boy Meets World actor Rider Strong recalled one particular episode that made him “very uncomfortable” and “so miserable” to film.

In a recent episode of Pod Meets World — the rewatch podcast dedicated to the ’90s sitcom co-hosted by Strong, Danielle Fishel and Will Friedle — the trio discussed an alcohol-themed episode that was eventually banned from airing by Disney for its mature content. Strong, in particular, found the episode to be a watered-down warning message about alcoholism that ended up being more of a “disservice.”

“I’m just half-assing it this entire episode,” he began. “I’m so miserable.”

Strong continued, “I was probably 17 the first time I tried alcohol, so it was probably right before this. But I remember Ben [Savage] and I talking about, like, ‘How do you play drunk?’ and having conversations about it. And he nails it. He’s so good at it.”

Throughout the podcast, Strong called...

Jennifer Love Hewitt was killed off in an episode of Boy Meets World because of her real-life relationship with series star Will Friedle (Eric Matthews). Hewitt appeared in the 1998 episode "And Then There Was Shawn," where the characters were locked in John Adams High School, while a killer was hunting them. Just like almost everyone else in the episode, the killer murders Hewitt's character (although it was later revealed that the entire episode was a dream).

On the Pod Meets World podcast, Friedle discusses the episode with fellow Boy Meets World stars Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter) and Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence). Friedle reveals how shortly after his relationship with Hewitt ended, series creator Michael Jacobs told him that the reason he had her appear in the episode was so that he could have her killed off in front of Friedle.

Jacobs told Friedle about how the actor believed that he...

As reported by /Film on January 4, 2017, the Disney Channel canceled "Girl Meets World" after three seasons. Upon completing production on the show's third season, the "Girl Meets World" cast and crew had been patiently waiting to hear whether or not their series would be renewed for a fourth go-round. Instead, the show's aptly-titled season 3 finale, "Girl Meets Goodbye," became forever known as the final episode.

If you listen to "Pod Meets World," the podcast hosted by "Boy Meets World" and "Girl Meets World" veterans Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong, you'll get the sense that Michael Jacobs -- the co-creator and head executive producer on both shows -- is a very dogged and focused individual who knows what he wants and will do anything to get it. So, when fans raised hell on social media, he shopped "Girl Meets World" to Netflix and other platforms. However, after four months...

Children's TV shows of the 1990s weren't afraid to get quite scary and intense, with many standout episodes of beloved series leaving a lasting impression in the form of nightmares. The 90s were quite an interesting time for children's media, with loosened restrictions on what networks could get away with leading to some very experimental episodes of TV. While modern kids' shows can be quite scary, the childhoods of millennials are filled with particularly horrifying TV scenes that still cause bad dreams even today.

Interestingly enough, it wasn't strictly the explicitly horror-themed series that got quite terrifying in the 90s. Horror anthology TV shows made for kids like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark? may have seen an increase in popularity this decade, but standard children's fare like cartoons or tween dramas could get just as frightening. The 90s truly held nothing back when it came to the...

The Cabin Fever pancakes scene might be the strangest in the Eli Roth debut horror movie, and it still makes very little sense all these years later. Roth has had a varied directorial career, and whether one loves or hates his films, it's hard to deny that they're usually at least memorable. That began with Cabin Fever (2002), a bizarre blend of horror and comedy. One minute, a character shaves their leg's skin off due to a terrifying flesh-eating virus; the next, Roth makes a cameo as a stoner. The tone of Cabin Fever is all over the place.

How much of that odd sensibility was informed by Roth himself becomes quite apparent when watching the 2016 Cabin Fever remake, which stuck to the original very closely but seemed to lack any of its charm or heart. As much weirdness as can be found in Cabin Fever, the award for the oddest scene goes to the "Pancakes!

If you're a reader of a certain age, there's a chance you grew up watching "Boy Meets World." The coming-of-age comedy lasted for seven seasons, and audiences were able to watch Cory and Eric Matthews, Shawn Hunter, Topanga Lawrence, and Angela Moore transition from childhood into adulthood, all under the watchful eye of their parental figures and their collective mentor, Mr. Feeny. Years after the show's end, "Boy Meets World" returned for a new generation as "Girl Meets World," focusing on the daughter of Cory and Topanga, Riley, and her mischievous friend Maya Hart, played by pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter. The reignited love of the series inspired the iHeartPodcasts network to launch "Pod Meets World," a retrospective series where the show's stars Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence/Matthews), Will Friedle (Eric Matthews), and Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter) revisit each episode.

The trio is often on the convention circuit together as well,...

Danielle Fishel reflects on being told about a Boy Meets World episode about her weight gain without her consent or any alternatives. The episode "She's Having My Baby Back Ribs" handles weight gain insensitively for comedic purposes. The Boy Meets World episode undermines body positivity with fat jokes, showing insensitivity towards actors' discomfort.

Boy Meets World star Danielle Fishel describes an uncomfortable experience she had regarding her physical appearance while on the show. Fishel played Topanga Lawrence throughout Boy Meets World's 7 seasons that aired from 1993 to 2000. On a podcast called Pod Meets World, Fishel re-watches and reflects on every episode of the popular sitcom alongside co-stars Rider Strong and Will Friedle, who played the respective roles of Shawn Hunter and Eric Matthews.

During a recent episode of Pod Meets World, Fishel discussed being told by producers about an episode revolving around the weight she had gained. Season 7, episode 17, "She's Having My Baby Back Ribs,...

Nearly 25 years later, Danielle Fishel is wishing Topanga had said, “I don’t.”

On a recent episode of the Pod Meets World podcast, the actress admitted that she didn’t think Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and Topanga Lawrence’s (Fishel) wedding on the 1999 Boy Meets World episode ‘It’s About Time’ was “the right choice” for the show.

“I know from my just my memories of it, after we were married, feeling like, well, now we’re married, and they had to come up with new, like, upping the stakes for us,” she said. “And I remember not loving those stakes.”

As the wedding episode happened a quarter of the way through the show’s seventh and final season, Fishel believes the show “could have gotten more mileage out of them being together, but not yet married” while the characters were still in college.

She explained, “I think I might...

Danielle Fishel would not have had her and Ben Savage’s characters make it to the altar on Boy Meets World if she had the choice.

In the latest episode of Boy Meets World rewatch podcast Pod Meets World, select fans were invited to ask the cast their burning questions about the sitcom. One fan wanted to know the one thing about the show the hosts and former stars Fishel, Rider Strong and Will Friedle would change.

“I don’t think I would have Cory (Savage) and Topanga (Fishel) get married,” admitted Fishel. “I think I might have her still do the proposal and maybe he still says yes, [and] we go through the whole planning. Then, we end up deciding it’s maybe not the right choice for us now.”

Fishel clarified that she would still want to have the couple be together. “They don’t need to be broken up,...

Drake Bell‘s shocking revelations in Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV have led to some healing between fellow child stars.

After the Nickelodeon alum revealed the abuse he suffered at the hands of Brian Peck while he was a teenager, Will Friedle and Rider Strong opened up about their April conversation with Bell following their letters of support for Peck during his 2003 trial.

“Talking to Drake was amazing … horrible … healing, for a number of reasons,” said Friedle on Thursday’s episode of the Pod Meets World podcast. “He started the conversation by saying to me, ‘Before you say a word, I want you to know I love you, and I forgive you.'”

Bell previously said he had the “most amazing conversation” with Strong in April, writing on X, “We are all healing together. I have nothing but love and forgiveness for him.”

Strong said the...

Will Friedle and Rider Strong are detailing their first conversation with Drake Bell following the release of Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV earlier this year.

The Boy Meets World alums had written letters of support for Brian Peck, a former dialogue coach, during his 2004 case, where he was ultimately convicted of sexually assaulting a Nickelodeon child star, who remained unnamed at the time. Peck spent 16 months in prison and had to register as a sex offender.

Friedle and Strong revealed in a February episode of their Pod Meets World podcast — after learning that Investigation Discovery’s docuseries was being made — that they had been close friends with Peck at the time and were asked to write character letters in his defense. Only in March, when Quiet on Set was released, did they learn that Bell was the 15-year-old assaulted by Peck.

Though Friedle was in the courtroom during Peck’s trial,...

Will Friedle and Rider Strong, who wrote letters of support for Brian Peck in his 2003 case against Drake Bell, have spoken out for the first time following the release of the “Quiet on Set” documentary.

At the time, Peck was accused of sexually abusing a then-unnamed, underage teen. Both Friedle and Strong had been close friends with him and were asked to write character letters in his defense, something they revealed during a February episode of their podcast after getting a call that a documentary was being made. One month later, the “Quiet on Set” trailer revealed that Bell was the 15-year-old victim who was assaulted by 43-year-old Peck.

While Friedle was in the courtroom, neither he nor Strong were aware that Bell was the victim, they said during the June 20 episode of their “Pod Meets World” podcast.

“I’m sitting in the back of the courtroom. There’s no social media.

Trina McGee played Rider Strong’s girlfriend, Angela Moore on Boy Meets World. Shawn Hunter loved Angela and they made the perfect couple. Unfortunately, the two broke up so that she could go and be with her father, leaving fans heartbroken.

Trina was married and on her third child who was born during her time on BMW.

Boy Meets World alum Trina McGee has asked for fans’ prayers “for a safe delivery” as she announced she is expecting her fourth child at 54 years old.

Feeny! Feeny! Fee-hee-hee-hee-ny! William Daniels, who played one of the most beloved teachers in all of media, shared a new photo with some of his old Boy Meets World students, calling them some of his favorites.

In his Instagram post – and how amazing is it that William Daniels is active on social media at the age of 97? – the actor shared a pic in which he, Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence), Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter) and Will Friedle (Eric Matthews) reunited, along with the caption, “Just a little reunion with my favorite students!!” He also had a photo with just Fishel, showing an even more special bond between the two. Notably absent, of course, was Ben Savage (Cory Matthews), who has distanced himself from Boy Meets World, showing a disinterest in reunions or media appearances.

William Daniels’ post is just...

Just over 24 years after the show ended, William Daniels shared pictures of a heartwarming reunion with three of his Boy Meets World co-stars. Throughout the show, Daniels' Mr. Feeny was a guiding light for Ben Savage's Cory Matthews, providing him with meaningful life lessons and showing a healthy teacher-student bond over time. Despite ending in 2000, Boy Meets World's legacy has lived on through a sequel spinoff and an engaging podcast, as well as a potential documentary from stars Danielle Fishel and Rider Strong.

It's a Boy Meets World reunion as three cast members pose with Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) in a new photo 24 years after the show ended. Premiering in 1993, the comedy show aired for seven seasons on ABC, and followed Ben Savage as the young Cory Matthews. The series was a hit with viewers as they watched Cory grow up and navigate life alongside his family and friends over the years.

Bill met friends for a “little reunion.”

William Daniels, the Emmy-winning actor who played teacher George Feeny on the ’90s sitcom, chronicled his hang recently with former Boy Meets World stars Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong and Will Friedle.

“Just a little reunion with my favorite students,” Daniels, who is 97, wrote on Instagram.

Also included in the photo was Daniels’ wife Bonnie Bartlett, a two-time Emmy winner who once appeared on Boy Meets World as Feeny’s love interest.

Boy Meets World was on ABC from 1993 to 2000 for seven seasons. The series later had a spinoff, Girl Meets World, that ran from 2014 to 2017 for three seasons on the Disney Channel.

Conspicuously absent from the mini-reunion was Ben Savage, who played protagonist Cory Matthews.

We have discussed killers that received slasher movies, folklore turned cannibalism, and plenty of possession via person, home, or even object. What we haven’t done too much of is the good old-fashioned cult. While we took a deep dive into Jim Jones and the tragedy of Jonestown paired with the very well-done Sacrament, there are a ton of real-life cults and cult leaders that have been put to celluloid in an attempt to both cash in and tell a compelling story. I mean, I’m writing this right now on the couch while my wife watches a documentary about a cult on Netflix. True crime and religious cult stuff exist in popular forms like podcasts, shows, and of course movies too. Today we will look at two things that don’t get a lot of widespread attention.

There were a few unanswered questions in the wake of the Quiet On Set docuseries release.

Viewers wanted to understand the dynamic between Drake Bell and Dan Schneider. Bell's description of Schneider differed from the picture painted by everyone else interviewed.

Folks also wondered if any of the celebrities who backed Bryan Peck had spoken out since the series shed light on their support.

The latest episode of Investigation Discovery's Quiet On Set is a departure from the original four. This time, it's a less dramatic setting.

The episode features noted reporter Soledad O'Brien as she chats first with Drake Bell virtually and then in-studio with Giovonnie Samuels, Bryan Hearne, Tracey Brown, and Shane Lyons.

While the new episode didn't reveal anything quite as shocking as previous installments, it provided some clarity on a few things that were already addressed.

One of the most pressing questions O'Brien had for Drake...

Drake Bell appeared in the latest fifth episode of Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV.
