Should you grew up within the ‘90s and early ‘00s, Boy Meets World was high of the charts as one of many best TGIF comedies on the market. With over 150 episodes and 7 seasons, Cory, Topanga, Shawn and Co. made some wonderful youth programming. However through the present’s run, there have been some dangerous episodes, together with one which the previous stars not too long ago deemed to be a clunker. The very best pal storyline, involving the aftermath of some of the heartbreaking TV character deaths, Chet Hunter’s, completely fell flat.
The Season 6, Episode 15 plot (which you’ll be able to stream with a Disney+ subscription) is the one Rider Sturdy, Danielle Fishel, and Will Friedle mentioned not liking on Pod Meets World. It adopted the notorious highway journey Shawn was decided to take after his dad died. Cory tags alongside, and the 2 cease at a truck cease that Shawn’s dad frequented whereas on the highway in hopes of closure. Whereas he does acquire a bit whereas assembly a waitressing woman music group, all of it felt misplaced. Sturdy additionally famous that the subplot between Eric, Rachel, and Jack didn’t save something, as he stated:
This was a clunker for me, simply flat, low power. It was simply inert, like only a bizarre episode. I simply was like, there is no power. There is not any power within the story. There is not any power. … [Even with a] musical efficiency and love triangle-ly stuff. B-story couldn’t put it aside. It was simply flat. Every thing felt flat, like nothing actually made sense to me.
Every time I’ve watched that episode of Shawn looking for peace, I’ve felt the identical approach. The random diner, the aspiring ladies and their efficiency, and the compelled secondary story love triangle all really feel misplaced.
Sturdy’s co-hosts jumped in to agree. First was Fishel, who’s been within the mixture of the persevering with Maitland Ward drama, saying that the entire thing wants some severe TLC and a focus, saying:
I do know, this episode wanted a blood transfusion.
She’s not improper. There have been some episodes later within the present that actually took wild angles, together with the turbulent Fred Savage episode. And for Shawn to run away from his family members, like how his dad frequently did, feels so pretend. Then, for him to try to discover solace with strangers is the nail within the coffin for me.
Friedle then summed each his co-stars’ ideas up aptly by sharing that he doesn’t even register it as an actual BMW ep. As an alternative, he revealed that he believes it to be a particular Disney placed on for the real-life woman group No person’s Angel’s launch. He thought the entire thing was messy and will’ve been two separate issues as a substitute of 1 bizarre advert, as he stated:
I don’t even contemplate this a Boy Meets World episode… You recognize what this was to me? This was a twenty minute Saturday Morning particular that Disney did, which was only a one little factor the place Cory and Shawn are — just like the highway journey ought to have been a complete different episode. And, as slightly apart, they launched this new woman band on a Saturday morning to indicate, however to wedge it into an episode – I used to be actually watching. I used to be like, ‘This isn’t a present.’… It seems like an enormous business.
Completely a spot-on opinion by the Eric Matthews actor. It appeared just like the basic Philadelphia-based present was making an attempt to goal for a collab of types to announce the musical trio’s title, but it surely actually didn’t succeed. (I am glad to have the Abbot and All the time Sunny particular to make up for this trainwreck).
Whereas I’ll at all times be down for a rewatch of most Cory and Shawn adventures, this clunker doesn’t make the listing. Presumably, just like the Boy Meets World stars, I feel we’re all glad the story didn’t increase previous the 30-minute time slot.
