Boy meets Worlds- Season 1
Boy Meets World joined the ABC network's successful "TGIF" lineup in 1993, and instantly distinguished itself from the dewy-eyed hokum that passes for much family viewing with its relative sophistication, emotional complexity, and smart, stylish dialogue. In a way, Boy Meets World, starring Ben Savage, picked up where ABC's The Wonder Years (1988-1993), featuring older brother Fred Savage, left off. Both shows looked at the world from the point of view of largely unformed and untested boys as they faced dilemmas concerning love, loyalty, and ethics within their families, among friends, and at school. But where The Wonder Years was an arch and poignant series with nostalgic, grown-up appeal--and which had a young hero often at a loss for words--BMW looked more like a broader, conventional sitcom where chatter never ceased. The show was and is more easily taken for granted, but its unusual gracefulness and wit can't be denied after a couple of viewings.

Cast
Main Characters
Cornelius "Cory" Matthews (Ben Savage) is neurotic and a slacker during high school. Cory's "slacker" tendencies diminish, and his neuroses increase, along with his pessimism and paranoia. Cory married Topanga Lawrence, his "first true love", late in the series. His actual name is Cornelius, as revealed in the last episode. Cory strives to make sure that he, Shawn, Topanga, and Angela will always be together throughout life and remain friends, and his nature is to intervene when others find it unnecessary. He is madly in love with Topanga, but still finds other girls attractive and is put in troubled situations when he is with other women. Cory stands for what he believes in, no matter who he is defending it from, whether it is his mother, Mr. Feeny, or Topanga. As described later in the series, his faith towards love is that it "never dies."
George Feeny (William Daniels) is a constant mentor to Cory and his friends. He first appears on the show as their school teacher, principal, and neighbor, and eventually toward the later years, their college professor. He later marries the Dean of Pennbrook, Lila Bolander (played by William Daniels' real-life wife Bonnie Bartlett). Originally, Mr. Feeny tried to keep a traditional teacher-student relationship with the other characters. This proved impossible, and in the season finale, Shawn says, "Oh, you know we're your favorites". Cory then adds, "C'mon Feeny. You haven't even spoken to another student in seven years!" At this final moment in the show, it is revealed that Mr. Feeny's care for Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Eric in the last seven years is what the quotes, lessons, and devotion toward others in the show revolve around.
Shawn Patrick Hunter (Rider Strong) is Cory's best friend who lives in a trailer park. Shawn takes more risks than Cory and has more of a bad boy image that leads to him having a number of different girlfriends. He also often gets into a large amount of trouble, and often sees himself as worthless trailer trash, though Cory helps him through it. He deals with his mother leaving him and his father, Chet Hunter (Blake Clark), going to find her, resulting in him staying in other homes. He eventually resents his father until Chet dies of a heart attack, which leaves him depressed. But no matter the situation, Shawn always remembers that he is Cory's best friend, whether he has emotional problems, whenever he hangs out with the larger crowd, or whenever Cory is having problems. Of all the characters of the show, Shawn is the most prone to depression. His relationship with his half brother, Jack Hunter, is often a tense one, as they have very little in common. Shawn is the only character other than Cory to appear in all 158 episodes.
Topanga Lawrence Matthews (Danielle Fishel) is Cory's main love interest. She is initially a hippie vegetarian who sits at the table with the other "weird kids." She eventually matures into a "regular teenage girl," and her beliefs about the environment and other topics were less emphasized. She was no longer a vegetarian. Although Topanga is admitted to Yale University, she decides to attend Pennbrook College with Cory and their friends. She proposes to Cory during their high school graduation, and they marry before their sophomore year of college, after which the show attempts to put them in stereotypical marriage problem situations.
Eric Randall Matthews (Will Friedle) is the older brother of Cory. He begins the show as a suave, popular young man, who constantly goes out on dates. Eric's character changes mid-series from preppy elder brother to "crazy, moronic brother". Eric often plays off his hero and mentor, Mr. Feeny. Though Eric and Feeny are not originally seen as having a close relationship, the two develop a bond. Eric often tells Mr. Feeny "you know I'm your favorite!" Although Eric appears "less intelligent" and more of a comedy relief later in the series, he still holds true that friendship should never cease and he cares very deeply for the feelings of others. He cherishes family and finds it essential to happiness and satisfaction.
Angela Moore (Trina McGee) is Shawn Hunter's first major girlfriend who debuts in the second episode of the fifth season, albeit briefly. Angela is witty and passionate about causes and people, and enjoys things for their artistic value. Shawn is seen breaking up with Angela due to his two week rule of dating. Later, he finds a purse a girl had lost, and falls in love by the contents of the bag due to common interests. Later on, he finds out that although the purse belongs to a girl named Beth, the things that were in it belong to Angela. She becomes his girlfriend throughout the rest of the 5th season. In season 6, Shawn breaks up with Angela in order to 'meet new people' and remain friends. He soon regrets his decision, although he does not tell Angela that he is still in love with her. Angela and Shawn return to each other early in the seventh season, brought together by way of Angela's father Sgt. Moore. Prior to the two part season finale, Sgt. Moore stops by to visit and ask her to come with him to Europe for a year, where he's been reassigned to. Angela is undecided, and concludes that she will ultimately stay if Shawn wants her to. Conflicted by her wanting to be happy and his own selfishness, Shawn decides it is best to let Angela go spend time with her father, long denied to both of them. They agree to continue to keep in contact with one another until she comes back. She departs with her father in the series' penultimate episode. In the finale, Shawn is invited to go with Cory and Topanga to New York where Topanga has an opportunity for an internship.
Jack Hunter (Matthew Lawrence) is Shawn's half-brother who debuts in the fifth season premiere. Jack was born to Chet and an unknown woman, but she took Jack and left for a richer man when Jack was nine. Jack tries to make amends to Shawn, as they never were officially acquainted before. Shawn alienates Jack primarily because he never returned to meet Shawn, and also because Jack has a richer father. Though Shawn believes Jack is selfish because Shawn wrote to him everyday for a year after he found out he had a brother and never received a response, Jack admits that his mom was keeping the letters from him, and Shawn realizes that Jack wants a brother more than anything as well. The two bond and move in with Eric in an apartment.
Rachel Kimberly McGuire (Maitland Ward) is the love interest of Eric and Jack after she moves in with them, though Eric realizes he is competing more for the sake of competing, rather than due to any genuine feelings for her. She dates Jack for a relatively short period of time before joining the Peace Corps with him.

Alan Matthews (William Russ) and Amy Matthews (Betsy Randle) are Cory and Eric's parents, who often provide guidance to their children. Alan has a quick temper, though when it shows up, usually through consultation with his wife Amy, he often apologizes afterward for words spoken in anger. Alan is originally the manager of the Market Giant supermarket. Eventually, he becomes disillusioned with his standard "9-5" job that he had worked for so many years, and quits without discussing it with his family first. Amy proclaiming that she will, in turn, "make a major decision that affects the entire family without consulting with him first" purchases a sporting goods and outdoor supply store that is up for sale, which Alan takes over, and re-names Matthews & Sons. The two tend to be a little biased with their children, as Alan sometimes coddles and over protects Eric, and is firmer with Cory, and Amy is firmer with Eric and more 'Motherly' to Cory.
Morgan Matthews (Lily Nicksay/Lindsay Ridgeway) is the daughter of Alan and Amy Matthews, younger sister of Eric and Cory and the older sister of Joshua. She is originally a cute little sister, though she disappears for a season. When she comes back Cory responds "Long time no see!" to which she answers "that was the longest time out I've ever had!". With the introduction of a new actor in the role came a shift in personality as Morgan became a more sarcastic character who delights in making fun of her brothers, especially Cory.
Jonathan Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn) and Eli Williams (Alex Désert) are two friends who become teachers while Cory and his friends are in high school. There is often a focus on their single bachelor life of dating, partying, and socializing that they experience outside of their teaching. Turner's more laidback approach to teaching often clashes with Mr. Feeny's more traditional methods, and the students easily identify with the hip, Harley-riding teacher. He is serious about being a teacher though, to the point that Cory describes him as "Feeny with an earring". Turner introduces Eli, who becomes the media arts teacher. He sometimes finds teaching and reaching out to students to be a difficult chore, something that Turner helps him out with. In the episode "Cult Fiction" Turner gets an a motocycle accident that almost kills him. That is the last episode in which he appears.
