Ah, Boy Meets World. They just don't make shows like they used to. I don't have cable, so I haven't seen the show in the longest time.

There was a magazine that had this special issue talking about stars and where are they now type of thing. It was quite awhile ago. They did mention Boy Meets World, and I couldn't help but smile

ETA: Dang. I messed up that post.

I *LOVE*:

The Episode where they go back in time, and the mom is singing "Anything Goes" Nowhere near as good as Patti. I thought that it was Patti until 2 seconds into the song. Anyways, great episode.

I love the episodes where Sean and Angela are together

I also love the halloween episode

CALL ME FRANK!!!
What?
Oh wait, Call me. Frank.

Oh I miss TGIF...
This was my show when I was younger, and I still love it! I loved watching the characters grow up.

Ah man, I remember getting so excited for TGIF every Friday, mostly just for Boy Meets World. What a great show...the writing was so clever and well-done.

Aw, this was a great show! It still airs on A?BC family almost daily I think. I wish there were still good shows like this.

Loved this show too...love the cross-dressing episode...in fact that whole season...there was also one with Shawn's girlfriend who Shawn and Cory had to sneak around from.

But the show was awful with continuity. We never again heard from Topanga's sister Nebula, first Cory and Topanga met in a sandbox when they were 2, then a jungle gym when they were 4, and when you consider what happened to Eric by the end of that show...they just made him stupider and stupider.

Plus their own acknowledgement of the disappearment of Minkus (though that was a great guest spot) and Turner and all.

And I never really liked Rachel.

"Their Halloween episode is one of my favourites"

So hysterical that episode.
I love how "Angela" had a scream off with Jennifer Love Hewitt aka "Jennifer Love Pfefferman."

I never understood why they fired they really pretty little sister who couldn't act and replaced her with a really not-pretty little sister who couldn't act any better?

The original little sister actress was very young, and apparently had issues with kicking/biting temper tantrums, refusing to say her lines, etc. while on the show, so they replaced her with another little sister actress. Or at least that's the story I got from my friend who worked on the show.

I think the official reason given though was that they wanted to 'age-up' the little sister and so they recast.

I love the episode where Cory and Shawn get jealous of Topanga and Angela's dancing buddies from work.

So, in order to apologize, Cory, Shawn, Eric, Jack, Cory's Dad, and Mr. Feeny go to the club and dance to "Hott Stuff" in front of the girls.

Hysterical.

I thought the sister was missing for a season, and they made some joke about "where've you been?" "my room" when she came back. Granted, I haven't seen this show in years...

And to Pippin- this was a 90s sitcom.

I loved TGIF for BMW and Sabrina. However, Sabrina stood the test of time better to me.

And, I don't have a thing for the geriatric usually, but Feeny was/is HOT.

"I love you all... class dismissed": Heart. Breaks.
I love the first episode of a later season where Eric is wearing a wig of his hair from the season before, and then announces that he's cut it and takes it off. Priceless. He was my favorite character. Also, last month I was seeing a movie with One Song Glory, and when they played the "Blades Of Glory" trailer, and they showed William Daniels as the judge, we both looked at each other and whispered "Mr. Feeny!" in unison.

The show was great; it still is. Should have ended after the first college season, though; before the stories got lame and ratings dropped, and as an attempt to save the show the writers made Eric really stupid, which was more painful to watch than anything. New writers came onboard when the show really lessened in quality; that is most likely why much of the audience left.

Still, it was a great program in its heyday. Much more than a sitcom, Boy Meets World reflected our entire lives growing up; our hopes, dreams, innermost thoughts, greatest fears, and, most of all I think, secret yearnings. After high school graduation, this began to slide; and after the first season of college, it was all gone. Replaced by just a "regular" sitcom with far-fetched jokes and a dim-witted idiot who actually used to be smart.

Still ... you look at programs like Leave it to Beaver, Happy Days, The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch, Ozzie & Harriett, The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Family Matters, Step by Step, etc; they do not make smart sitcoms like these anymore ... besides Home Improvement, in its heyday, Boy Meets World was the last great family sitcom.

Trekkie2 - My friend and I did the exact same thing when we saw Blades of Glory last night. We both looked at each other and yelled "OMG IT'S MR. FEENY!" And the best part was, we weren't the only ones who did that! Haha.

This show was the sh*t! I don't remember which episode this was, but there was one where Cory said he was going to name his children "Chewbacca and Plankton". LOL.

I had a huge thing for Rider Strong.

Then he got all ugly. See CABIN FEVER if you absolutely have to.

Ben Savage was last seen in CAR BABES. Never saw it.
Rider Strong is in CABIN FEVER 2. Released next year. Ugh!
Will Fridele was in HOWL'S MOVIE CASTLE (English Version). Which I loved!
Danielle Fishel was last seen in DORM DAZE 2. I never saw the first one.

So, to answer your question, they're nowhere.

Actually, Will Friedle is doing very well. He's been a voice on Kim Possible for a while (is it still turning out new things?), and several other things for Disney.
