Twenty years before Girl Meets World (see post of May, 11th) there was Boy Meets World. This sitcom aired on the Disney Channel from 1993 'till 2000 and spanned seven seasons. Its concept shadowed that of another iconic series, namely The Wonder Years which came to an end the same year Boy Meets World began. In the latter show it is Cory Matthews, played by Ben Savage (younger brother to The Wonder Year's Fred Savage) who is the youngster growing up "with a little help from my friends". And it is this same theme that Girl Meets World later continued to explore. Portraying the four main characters were:
Ben Savage as Cory
Rider Strong as best friend Shawn
Danielle Fishel as girlfriend Topanga
Will Friedle as goofy older brother Eric
