TGI-The Pilot | POD MEETS WORLD 

Eric isn't the worst. In the first couple of seasons he's basically the most realistic portrayal of a teenage boy I've ever seen.

This podcast is a literal treasure for a 90s kid. Thank you times a million.

The last episode, the scenes where they say goodbye to Feeny and afterward he says "class dismissed," makes me cry every single time. Classic masterpiece of a sitcom show.

I like how passionate Ryder gets when he talks!

Eric ended up becoming everyone’s favorite. He was hilarious. Love this show and love them all ♥️

In my opinion, Lily Nicksay was GENIUS. The way she delivers her lines is so eloquent for her age.

Every few years I go back through and rewatch the whole show from season 1. It hits differently every time I go back and rewatch it depending on what’s going on in my life.

Unless you lived it, TGIF was special. What you did for the viewers was special. You were our friends we got to hang out with every Friday and you grew with us. Thank you for being apart of the most genuinely happiest time of my life❤

There is NO way Topanga looks the same as she does 30 years ago. Such AMAZING genes.

I’ve mentioned this on insta, but George Feeney is in my Top 5 list of people who influenced me to become a teacher. There are so many aspects of his teaching philosophy that I absentmindedly implement in a daily basis. ❤

Will is so genuine. I can listen to him (and everyone else) for awhile.

Daniel fishel still an absolute smoke show 22 years later

Feeney is one of the top five reasons I decided to become a teacher

Will (aka Eric Matthews) because of your doubts on lack of experience in acting, you created a character that everyone knew in the 90s. A funny older brother!

Also , Will , you were EXACTLY who you needed to be for your character. There would have been no one else that would have been able give what you gave !!! 10 out of 10 🙌🏾

I work as a mental health counselor at a residential child care facility and when I get the kids up for school in the morning, I play an episode of BMW for them and they enjoy it alot. It's cool that all ages can enjoy it!

Omgggg! Ryder has aged so well he was one of my childhood crush lol. Lovedddd Boy Meets World. Still huge fan of y’all at 29 years old.

As a 41 year old book nerd the only show I’ve been watching the past year is Boy Meets World. Glad I randomly came across this channel. Will was really good on this; he’s really found his niece.

Eric you were wonderful in episode 1 and all the episodes. You were JUST as cool rewatching today as 30 years ago.

I love being able to actually watch these!!!! thank you!!

What a time we live in man. Boy meets world gets a podcast. As a 90's kid I loved this show.

Born in 87, raised by a single dad, was watching Terminator and Robocop when BMW came out. BMW was a kids show that didn't feel like a kids show. Rememeber watching this 1st episode and liking it enough to keep watching. Here I am 30 years later checking out the Pod!!!

Even though I was born in 2003, I love Boy Meets World! I love watching Full House and Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World

I never thought Eric’s acting was bad lol. I think you’re all amazing!!

Such a well written episode . The scenes with Mr. Feeny and the classroom were especially good. William Daniels' acting and that dialogue - wow.

I love all the cast. But Will Friedle is SO DAMNED FUNNY!

My kids LOVE Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World. They are 15 and 10. I LOVE that these shows from my childhood stand the test of time with messages that kids today fall in love with them too. ❤️

I was born in ‘99 so I know that there are a lot of y’all who don’t think I have any right to be here and speak to the nostalgia felt by those of y’all who grew up in the 80s and 90s and watched this with knowledge and understanding. The thing I love about reruns and VHS players is that it gave me the opportunity to watch what my sister Alexys watched originally, in ‘05/‘06 as a kid who loved sitcoms like Will’s son does now. It’s shows like BMW and FPBA and others like it that showed me what friendship should look like and how relationships should be in general whether romantic or platonic or familial. It set a standard for me that I find myself living by. I used to use BMW to give relationship advice in middle school. I can’t tell you all how much you all have impacted my life and the size of the presence it had in my life while dealing with life. Even now at 24 i find myself quoting the show. I turned the Feeny call into the Dad call whenever I would call through the house for my step/bonus dad.

I do remember the Pilot episode of Boy Meets World. I remember it like it was yesterday. The Pilot episode was pretty good.

would love know how danielle feels/felt about topanga’s character shift from hippie to overachiever🧐

Those deep layers really gave children emotional regulation/ emotional understanding

Topanga got me through my childhood. I couldn’t miss an episode.

It's so weird to see them older and yet their voices haven't changed a bit. Grew up on this show and had the hots for Rider Strong...who didn't? 😆

Moving from Germany to America, this show was huge in my childhood.! Every time my siblings and I would go to my grandparents.. this show would just be on almost like it was fate..! Nostalgia at its finest. Man I miss my childhood.. and these types of shows.

I am never getting tired of hearing or watching the people that brought a lot of joy to my childhood

Hard to believe this show premiered 30 years ago… makes me feel kind of old.

Going through the show I always wanted a best friend like Shawn/Rider, a relationship like Cory/Ben Topanga/Danielle and a friend/brother like Eric/Will 😊

That sign off is EVERYTHING!! I just LOVE how y'all honor Will Daniels, a living legend!

I was 7 when this show started I used to watch this with my whole family, feels like I grew up with them

Finally! I get that they decided (at first) to make it audio only. I respected the decision, but it was such a tease when they would talk about how guests look now or refering to visuals we were missing out on. It just makes sense, plus it's just really nice to see their faces!

Boy meets world was some of the very best of my childhood. There's only two shows I will repeatedly go through and finish throughout the years. One of them being Boy meets world. I'm so so so happy this showed up in my recommendation. Cant express how much joy this is giving me. ❤️❤️

The part where Rider interviews his son is so precious! ☺️

This show is so nostalgic for me. Hearing their takes during filming is just ❤

If this says anything about how much I love this podcast... I am not a podcast person. Not only do I listen to ALL of these right when they are released and am completely up to date on Pod Meets World, I am going to watch them all a second time through these videos! wow!!!

Topanga was every boy that grew up in the 90s first crush lol I promise none of my girlfriends back then never measured up😂😍🙏🏾

This show has been a huge comfort to me I’m 22 going on 23 watched the show in later years as a younger audience I appreciate this show so much the love and warmth it brings me amazing characters and amazing actors/actresses ❤

Eric was like one of my fav characters!

Nice breakdown how layered the BMW episodes were. A good lesson for writers 30 years later

I think Mr. Feeny getting stood up by his sister and not a date was a reflection of what Corey was going through with Eric. It also showed that there is more than one type of love that could potentially hurt you, both for Mr. Feeny with his sister (who we thought at first was a date) and with Eric and Corey/Eric with his date. Love hurts, but it is always worth the pain.

This is such a nice new year's gift!

If this is any indication of 2023, it’s gonna be a great year. Way too excited to see these on YT!!! 🎉

9:30 ❤ Ryder you're so right this show took us all somewhere very happy. Girl Meets World took me right back there & it was sad to get so much less of it. 🤷‍♀️👏🤩🥰 Thank you all for being your best selves & we love you for it!

The character of Eric… when he got his hair cut… I honestly did not understand he was the same character or actor. Lol. Admittedly I was a bit older and didn’t watch the show regularly enough to follow it really closely but it was really such a good show.

Rewatching this show recently and I had the same thought with the beginning. The pilot felt like an episode for a sitcom that had already been running for years

Honestly, this podcast is helping me in ways I never would've imagined. To see and understand the struggles of the people you always looked up to and idolized and what they had to go through to leave that mark on the world. It's helping me get through my "what the hell am I doing with my life" phase and understand that rocky is normal.

So glad I found this podcast. I must say though Danielle is a natural at hosting. I know that’s not her position here. Due to her not being in the pilot she is default the host and she really takes control and guides the conversation. Great job. Great job everyone involved. Such a fascinating conversation

I never realized how much this show impacted my life growing up. Being an 80s baby, 90s kid, I watched Wonder Years however, felt more connected to this story and their friendships/relationships. Thank you for sharing these podcasts!❤

I kinda popped hard for the Counting Crows mention. August and everything after was great. 1993 was a great year. Rider Strong, the rest of the cast, and Adam Duritz, all part of what made the 90's great. Gotta say the 90s were the best years of my life. I'd give anything to relive 1993 to 2002 all over again.

This is the greatest thing on RU-vid. I love that the three of you came together to create this Podcast. I am 38 years old now, a little younger but around your ages, and everything you talk about brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. “Boy Meets World” was television at it’s very best. All the actors were amazing and it’s so great to see that the three of you are still best friends. I cannot thank you enough for making this Podcast. You put so much love into it and I know that fans will appreciate watching this so many years later. It’s like “Boy Meets World” is still alive because for me it was always alive in my memories. Keep creating these Podcasts and keep being the great people that you three are.

4:00 - I feel I know what Will means here. I didn't see it at the time, cause I was only in 3rd grade, but when I rewatched it in my early 20s Eric felt like a generic older brother for Cory, the centerpiece of the show. It wasn't until later on that Eric became the Eric we know. Rider was definitely Sean from the beginning. He was the "cool kid" that defied authority. You knew what you were gonna get with Sean.

Ive listened to evey pod with a huge smile and tears of nostalgic pride. Now i will watch them with more tears and more pride. You 3 are my childhood( Will for sooooo much more) and i beyond love and thank you all for every minute of it.

Eric was fantastic in the early episodes

Happy to find people that like to talk about this show as much as i do!

It was such a great cast and well written show.

I had no idea this existed, and now that I do. it absolutely melts my heart. Sad to say I had no idea Girl Meets World existed. Something I really appreciated was how a kids/teens show really really delved into real world problems - something that I don't often see today anymore. I fell in love with these characters and they world they formed together. Watching clips of it again makes me realize how much deeper it was than I knew at the time.

Ryder's kid bit was awesome lol

Pod dismissed is such a nice touch

You guys are doing GODs work. I loved how this show influenced me already...but for you guys to dissect it and give us POV and BTS ...I'm overly grateful . Such a smart show and cast

I truly love the cast. And everyone seems to have a bit of their character in themselves. Its beautiful

I look forward to this podcast just as much as I looked forward to the show as a kid.. I love it. you guys are so cool

So crazy to listen to these in my 30s and these voices are exactly what I remember.

I was 13 when the show first aired, and I never missed an episode all the way to the end. It was the first show of my life where the stars were the same age as me. Although a bit farfetched at times, the plots were so relatable to me, and to this day, it's one of my all-time favorite shows. I have re-watched the series several times in the last few years, and it just never gets old for me. I tear up at so many episodes, not just because of the content, but because of the innocence lost since the show was on; of times past and the things I lived through with Boy Meets World. And having watched it all through again as an adult, I can honestly and easily say that George Feeny is the greatest character ever written into a television show! The compassion, love, and dignity Feeny gives to all those around him will never be seen again on American TV.

This seriously warms my 90s kid heart. Thank you guys for doing this ❤️

It’s very hard getting through season 1 when you’re 39 haha. But as a kid I loved every second. Eric and Shawn was always my favorite characters. Shawn was relatable due to my similar upbringing. And I had friends like Cory who were the complete opposite of me but were always there for me. Which is likely why I always ended up good decisions to get me where I am today. Eric was the bigger brother I always wanted. He was goofy, sometimes a bully but also caring. I wish he wouldn’t look bad and be disappointed in his acting. He… all of them were all great. Especially with what was on tv at the time. Mr. Feeney didn’t just teach the characters lessons. All us kids viewed him as a teacher and he taught all of us lessons through that show. Probably one of the few teachers every kid grew up loving. This show was all over the place. You watch so many characters grow, mature, face issues and overcome them. The one thing I notice about this podcast is their focus on Cory. There isn’t a single episode after the first season where he’s the star of the show. Every episode after focuses on just about everyone. Eric IQ seems to drop through the seasons lol but he gets through high school, he goes to college, he moves out of the house and we watch every step along the way. The weatherman job after interning, the road trip he refuses to come home from and so on. We see him date someone with a child. There’s so much to his character we watch through each episode. Shawn really seems the focal point on and off through out the entire run of the show. And the first few seasons even Mr. And Mrs. Mathew’s are the focal point. Cory reaches his arc rather quick. He’s in love with topanga, she’s in love with him and every few episodes they have complications which are resolved within that episode or shortly after. We don’t need to worry about Cory finishing high school. Shawn and Eric we worry about. We don’t have to worry about Cory going to college. Shawn and Eric we do. Cory doesn’t face many issues other than learning how to deal with issues Shawn and Eric are dealing with. Shawn gets involved with a cult. Shawn hangs out with a group of bad kids. Shawn learns he can love just one person and faces the difficulties of that relationship. (Which was ground breaking for tv). Eric is an example of how one kid in what seems like a perfect family can screw up, make bad choices and need a bit more help. This was more like Boys meet world. It would have been great if topanga had more complications outside the relationship with Cory. The fact her views were ahead of their time was great. How she handled relationship issues were great. But I wish her and aunt got more time to really see how that relationship was. Topanga was the girl all us guys didn’t like at first because of how awkward she was (purposely) but she became everyone’s crush freshmen year. But even as a kid watching the show… I always felt we didn’t know enough. Regardless, she like the rest of the cast did an amazing job. The show is literally timeless. There’s a few episodes that may not go over well in 2024 due to how women or portrayed. But there was always that moment stepped in and said something that made us think and educated us on why those situations were wrong. Long rant short… this is my favorite show. It’s up there with Dawson’s Creek which felt like more of a reality variant haha. But boy meets world had the ability to make us laugh, cry, relate and love everyone in it all at once despite their ups and downs. You guys should ridiculously proud of that show. And Will Friedle… you’re from Connecticut. That’s why you’re over analyzing everything. We have a habit of doing that here lol. Stop it! You’re talented!!!

Thank you all for continuing to bring joy by revisiting the show. This is so surreal and fun! ☺️

Just started the podcast and watched the pilot! Will, you were great!

They definitely all have a natural chemistry. It's definitely nice watching this compared to other rewatch podcast which come off as a little awkward

I’m not a podcast person but loving this. Loved the show and I love you guys talking about it

My childhood ❤😊 couldn’t wait for Friday nights “TGIF.” to watch Boy Meets World

So nostalgic. Thank you all for giving us a great show to remember from child to adult.

Got a CAMEO from Mr. Feeny for my Birthday. It was awesome

As someone who works in major theme parks, the standing with your shoulders open thing is something I've also gotten used to, and it does feel so weird to start. They want you to always be open and approachable for guests, so standing and talking to a coworker or manager side by side, not really looking at each other, becomes just what you do.

OH.. MY.. GOODNESS.................... PLEASE keep this going strong!! 🙌 This is AMAZING!! 🔥🔥

I'm so excited for this. Even more so that you guys seem to handle it with care and knowing and realizing how beautiful the lessons can be. You pointed out so much about what that episode meant, what love meant, that I didn't realize it till you explained it! This podcast is so wholesome! I love it!

Everyone on the show was AWESOME!!! I laughed so much! One of the greatest shows of all time! I am 40 years old now and I still rewatch your show on dvd in its entirety at least once a year. Thank you so much❤

So many interesting facts we never knew about! Amazing podcast I’m definitely tuned in. Loved, loved, loved Boy Meets World! So many wonderful life lessons learned, such a well written show. Can’t wait for more episodes.

"you just wanna be part of the family"-rider my brain immediatley went to is that why your always around their house in the show lol

Eric is the best! I grew up wanting an older brother like Eric 😂 some of his lines live with me to this very day. “Fuhheeeeheeheeeheeennyyyy”

I love this. And i agree completely about Feeney being written as a great teacher. He did such an amazing job portraying a teacher and was a huge part of my inspiration to become a teacher.

So I started listening to this podcast when they started the second season. I'm instantly hooked. Going to play catch up watching the first season episodes. What I love, which is a detriment to how many times I watched the reruns and when they initially aired, is that I don't need to rewatch the episode as they break it down. I can mentally visualize each episode.

I have never subbed so fast to a channel IN MY LIFE! I love all of you so dam much! It is the side backyard. The house has an alley garage i believe so its side backyard.

Even though I only 20 years old and was not born when this show came out and I a fan of Topanga and this shows so much

This is gold guys. I love it!! Glad to see you guys are friends

They don't make shows ĺike this anymore, it makes me sad! I Absolutely love this show, It eaches Great life Lessons. I Wish teachers nowadays were more like Mr.Feeny.

This is SO good. I love the obvious deep respect all three of them have for the source material. Boy Meets World was as profound a television experience as I have ever had.

I grew up watching the show & it comes with so many good memories and I didn't get many of them growing up. However it became a double down when my son was introduced to BMW and loved it from episode 1nand he watched it through and wanted to watch it with me. So it can be timeless and generational. Ty to everyone involved to make the show what it became.

The way mr feeney spoke to the kids impacted how I speak to children including my own even now.

Commenting for support, excited to listen

The very best thing about the internet (more specifically YT) is all the opportunities there are to revisit our childhood memories

Much love. My childhood was y’all and so many more shows from the 90s. I’m glad to see y’all again.
