Product Description

Growing up is something we all do. So while today's sitcoms may focus on twenty-something singles and workplace environments, "Boy Meets World" managed to be immensely more relevant by centering around a boy growing up. That boy is Cory Matthews, the middle child of a middle class American family. When the show launched in September of 1993, Cory was just eleven years old and starting sixth grade. Cory (Ben Savage) is a mediocre student, often confused by the lessons of his 6th grade teacher, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels), who also happens to live next door to the Matthews. At school, Cory is accompanied by his mischievous, but well-meaning best friend Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong). His other classmates include brainy teacher's pet Stuart Minkus (Lee Norris) and the otherworldly flower child Topanga Lawrence (Danielle Fishel). At home, Cory's older brother Eric (Will Friedle) is lately more concerned with girls and his appearance than his younger brother. While Eric would evolve into a truly funny airhead/oddball, his character here in Season One is equally compelling and inherently likeable, even if he's quick to tease his younger brother. Cory's parents aren't always around, and they don't always see eye-to-eye with their children, but their genuine parental love comes through in conversations and punishments. Dad (William "Rusty" Russ) is the manager of a supermarket, who enjoys sports and spending time with his children. He's not perfect, but he is a role model to his son, and their relationship makes for some of the more poignant episodes. Mom (Betsy Randle) is a homemaker who also inspires Cory, and she apparently deals real estate on the side. There's also Cory's younger sister Morgan (Lily Nicksay), who provides a great number of laughs by being more than simply young and cute like other sitcoms, though she is both.
