Trivia and QuotesTrivia As an in-joke to the film 1776 (1972), the high school is named John Adams High. William Daniels played John Adams in the film, and plays the principal here. # Several times throughout the years they mention how Cory and Topanga first met, but it`s never the same story. Their "first" meeting happened at several different ages and places. The `rules` posted in the John Adams High School cafeteria are "No loud talking, no reading, no shooting". In the beginning of the show, Shawn mentions he has a sister. This `sister` helped with the "straightening" of Cory`s hair in one of the episodes. However, later on in the show, we learn that Shawn doesn`t have a sister. #
# In one episode, William Daniels mentions that The Graduate (1967) was a great film. He played Mr. Braddock in that movie.
#
# In Episode 3-17 The Pink Flamingo Kid, we find out that Shawn has a half brother named Eddie, who he protects Cory from when Cory tapes him with stolen goods. We never hear about Eddie again, or a brother of Shawn`s till Jack enters the show in season 5 as Shawn`s half brother. In the series finale Cory talks to his little brother Joshua, played by Daniel Jacobs. Earlier in the season, Daniel Jacobs played the little boy standing in the hallway when Topanga and Cory move into their apartment in "The Honeymoon is Over" In another nod to William Daniels`s _1776 (1972)_ role of John Adams, in the episode where Eric decides he wants to be a teacher, the immigrants recite the Declaration of Independence in the final scene. The term "inalienable rights" was replaced with "unalienable rights," the term that John Adams fights to be replaced in a memorable scene in 1776, a phrase Thomas Jefferson refused to yield on. In episode 119, "Kid Gloves", we see Cory scuba diving in the school pool from his point of view, and then come up to the surface to see Mr. Feeny looking down on him. This mimicks a scene in The Graduate (1967) in which Dustin Hoffman`s character comes up from scuba diving to see his father looking down on him who, like Mr. Feeny, is also played by William Daniels. #
# The episodes "Prom-ises, Prom-ises", "If You Can`t Be With the One You Love...", and "The Truth About Honesty" are banned from airing on The Disney Channel due to their frank discussion about pre-marital sex and teen drinking. #
In the episode when Topanga has a crush on Eric, she introduces her sister Nebula. After that episode we never hear from Nebula again. Topanga`s father, Jedediah Lawrence, has been played by three different actors: first Peter Tork, then Michael McKean, and finally Mark Harelik. Her mother, Rhiannon Lawrence, has been played by two different actresses: Annette O`Toole and Marcia Cross. Cory`s first name stands for Cornelius. In the episode where Topanga runs away from home, her Aunt Prudence comes to collect her. She tells Cory that her aunt has never been in love and wouldn`t even know who Romeo and Juliet are. Her aunt is played by Olivia Hussey, who played Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli`s Romeo and Juliet (1968/I). Danielle Fishel was originally cast as a guest star on the pilot. The actress who was cast as `Topanga` wasn`t `working out`. Danielle and another girl were asked to read on the spot. Danielle won the role. During the seven seasons of Boy Meets World, Willie Garson appears as three different characters. He plays Leonard Spinelli, Mervyn, and the minister who marries Topanga and Cory. The character `Dana Pruitt` was a tribute to actress Dayna Price, who was an avid fan of the show and frequently visited the set in addition to her two guest appearances. Ironically, the role of `Dana` was played by `Larissa Oleynik`, who starred on "The Secret World of Alex Mack" (1994)`, on which the real-life Dayna was a recurring character. Ben Savage (Cory Matthews) and Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter) are the only actors to appear in all 158 episodes. The names that Corey says that he and Topanga will name their children, jokingly, are `Chewbacca` and `Plankton`. | ||
