It’s time to get to know the Eric to Rider’s Cory, with Rider’s IRL brother, Shiloh Strong!

Lindsey also digs into some Saved By the Bell: The New Class stories and opens up about body image as a chi...

Hope you all studied because this week the gang is diving head first into “Quiz Show” - an episode packed with printing press facts and sweet Artie K.’s leather jacket.   It’s the source of a legendary Feeny speech, even if Will thinks Shawn should’ve gotten a different question and the writers MAY have been poking at Jenny McCarthy for avoiding a guest appearance.   And yes, this is the infamous...

What does he remember as a rare...

It’s the morning after our Matthews House slumber party and it’s breakfast time!   While the gang eats some of Rider’s famous croissants, we look back at our favorite memories from the sleepover, why “Face/Off” is a masterpiece, and the brilliance of “Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark” (no Fartknocker). So pull up a chair, watch the sunrise and have some turkey bacon, before Me Tie Dough-Ty Walker...

We’re into the wee hours of our sleepover at the REAL Matthews house, and it’s time to call it a night. But before the lights go out, the gang has decided to take things out to the tent in the front yard (because of course Rider brought a tent. And has 4 others at home). The flashlights turn on and the sound of nature (helicopters) takes over as the gang shares some embarrassing sleepover stories...

Let’s be honest here - we’ve met a lot of Boy Meets World guest stars with some impressive resumés, but this week the gang reconnects with a friend who already had a blockbuster movie under his belt at age 7!  It’s time to talk to Justin Cooper, who played Erics girlfriend’s son, Ryan, in “Uncle Daddy,” AND, more notably, shared the screen with Jim Carrey in “Liar Liar.” Justin talks of Will’s inc...

Is Eric ready to be a dad? It’s time to find out with the introduction of Ryan, a pre-Tommy played by one of the stars of “Liar Liar” (and no, it’s not Jim Carrey).   Will might be critical of his acting choices in this one, but he didn’t miss when it came to mini basketball. Rusty and Betsy endure some strange wardrobe decisions, but are still able to teach Cory a lesson about leaving the car on...

When we last left Boy Meets World, Topanga was drenched, standing at the Matthews door back in Philadelphia, running away from her new destiny in Pittsburgh. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THIS SUSPENSEFUL PART 2?????   Is this an unnecessary detour from the heart of BMW or is it just a sign of what’s to come for Corpanga?
