So many fans have so many questions about Boy Meets World.
Finally we have an answer. BMWC has composed a list of
frequently asked questions and their answers. After reading

Is "Boy Meets World" out on video or dvd? When will
this happen?
Buena Vista Home Entertainment released the complete first season of Boy Meets World on
August 24, 2004. The complete second season was released on November 23, 2004. The complete third season was released on August 23, 2005. The fourth season was secheduled to be released toward the end of November 2005, however it was pushed back. The projected date was changed to January 10, 2006. The set was then pushed back even further, but no new date has been officialy announced. You can probably expect Disney to make a press release concerning the matter in the coming weeks.
Will there ever be a reunion episode? When?
Reunions happen more often than people notice. But as far as
"Boy Meets World" is concerned I wouldn't hold my breath. As
good of a show as it was, it just didn't have the popularity
it needed to have a reunion. However this is possible and if
it
indeed did take place it would most likely be on a
significant anniversary, say the 10th or 15th.
I love that character, wait, where did they
go?
As with any sitcom or anything else on television, characters
come and go, even important ones. The most common example is
with Mr. Turner. Johnathan Turner was last seen in "Cult
Fiction" - Episode 88, Season 4 - he was involved in a
terrible
motorcycle accident which landed him in the hospital. It was
left up to us to decide if he survived or not, but we think
he
might have since there was an inside joke in the episode
"Graduation" - Episode 113, Season 5 - that suggests Turner
lives.
In that same episode we see a cameo from Stuart Minkus, who
Cory and Shawn wished away with psychic powers in the episode
"I
Dream of Feeny" - Episode 22, Season 1 - Minkus states that
he's been in the other part of the school. Eric's first best
friend Jason dissapeared during Season 2 with reasons
unknown. Several other characters such as Harley Kinner,
Frankie, and
Joey all fade out around Season 4, with Frankie staying the
extra 5th Season for comedic cameo appearences. Other
characters
are mentioned such as Nebula Lawrence, Topanga's sister, and
Stacy Hunter, Shawn's sister. They are there for a couple of
episodes, some only mentioned, and then dissapear. There are
a number of reasons. Actors wanting to leave the show to
pursue other things or just to take time off. They could
have left because their character was no longer needed or
were just
temporarily used. We don't know so we'll leave it as
writer's license.
Where have all the updates gone?
I am very sorry for the lack of updates lately, but I can
assure you that there will be a lot more updates soon. I am
hard
at work on this site a lot more often than before. If I
don't update it for a while it could be because I am busy,
don't
have anything to put down, am having problems, or am just
plain lazy. If you suspect me of being lazy, just e-mail me
and
tell me so, that might get me back to work.
Rider Strong is so talented, but where can I get more
of his poetry?
There is a Rider's Poetry section eventually coming to this
very site, but until then try the great fan site Words of Wisdom which contains several of
Rider's
writings.
Are any of the characters or actors gay?
No. Most people will notice very quickly that in some
episodes the characters are given feminine traits, but this
is only
for entertainment purposes, I assure you that none of the
characters are gay. Awhile back there were some rumors about
this, but you
should know that rumors are rumors, nothing more.
I love Rider's "Top of the World" poem, where can I get
it?
Right here:
"Top of the World"
You don't know it, but
Sometimes, I go to a hill that overlooks
the landscape's mask of city lights
For a sip of momentary grace.
On this brink of everything I know, I can gain
An eyeful of the lost Atlantis in the human soul,
And a breath that fills my lungs with the air between two
stars.
If right now, you
Were to capture this elation
In the framework of your mind,
Or find transcendance through these words,
Then at most you would know nothing
Of the beauty your existence throws to me.
For mine is a love no experience,
No thought, no measure, no words
Could ever degrade into reality by virtue of degree."
Your site is awesome, but can I contribute?
Yes, of course. I encourage anyone and everyone to e-mail me
with any corrections, comments, or with anything you want to
contribute. Please feel free to do so.
Why does Disney make cut-outs, and which episodes are
banned?
Disney censores "Boy Meets World" quite heavily because
unlike Disney's other kiddie shows, "Boy Meets World" deals
with
mature issues and down to earth stuff. Disney feels that
some of the material isn't suitable for their target age
audience -
5 yrs thru 15 yrs - also the company probably experiences
complaints from different people, parents in particular. As
for
the banning of episodes, they are as follows. Episodes 107
and 111, Season 5; and Episode 133, Season 6. They do not
appear
on the Disney Channel because of mature content. Check the
episode guide for the particulars. When the show is aired on
ABC Family, it is our hopes that they will not cut out
anything or ban any episodes.
Where and when does "Boy Meets World" air?
On June 19, 2004, "Boy Meets World" began airing on the ABC
Family Channel. Check your local listings for the schedule.
Why does Disney show the Season 4 intro for Seasons
1-3? What was the original intro?
For whatever reason Disney does not use the original
introduction for the show's first, second, and third seasons.
The
fourth season's intro is used instead. I do not know why
they do this but it could be a number of reasons. Disney may
not
want to, they may not have access, they might not have the
clip or even the rights to it, the clip could have been lost,
I
don't know. But, for those of you that don't remember, the
original introduction showed a video clip from the first few
episodes, while listing the cast. It showed a cartoon Cory
in sunglasses make different movements around the screen, had
a
cartoon globe spinning in the top right-hand corner of the
screen. It featured a blue and yellow squiggly border on the
left
and bottom sides, and had cartoons of various school
supplies, such as rulers, about on the screen. It was
changed a bit for
season 2 and again for season 3.
How do I contact Disney for something other than a
video request?
Use this:
Rich Ross or Gary Marsh
Disney Channel
3800 W. Alameda Ave. #B
Burbank, CA 91505
(818) 569-7500
Disney is constantly growing, what does this mean for
"Boy Meets World"?
"Boy Meets World" has a contract to air on Disney through
June 18, 2004. Starting June 19, 2004, the show will be
handed over to the ABC Family Channel.
I love the closing song played at the end of "The Grass
is Always Greener", what is it's name and where can I get
it?
"All I Know" by Art Garfunkel. It was originally released in
September of 1973 and is available for purchase on the 1990
album "Garfunkel: Best Of" available by clicking
here!
What about the Sweet Sixteen song played on Topanga's
birthday?
Sorry, that song was done by the on-hand music crew and as
far as we know is not available for purchase, but could be
available on a file sharing server like KaZaA or LimeWire.
