Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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.

Boy Meets World lasted seven seasons, and one of the real pleasures of following the series is that its story and character changes are largely organic, rather than forced by cast departures or other pressures. Thus the auspicious first meeting of Savage's 11-year-old Cory Matthews and his classmate Topanga (Danielle Fishel) in season 1 leads, quite sweetly and logically, to a deeper relationship in subsequent seasons. Cory's attachment to his formidable yet compassionate 6th-grade teacher, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels in a tailor-made performance), who also happens to be Cory's neighbor, grows and deepens as Feeny eventually becomes the principal at Cory's high school and a mentor beyond. Season 1 also introduces Cory's likeable father (William Russ), a grocery store manager, and mother (Betsy Randle), a homemaker and realtor, as well as appealing siblings Eric (Will Friedle) and Morgan (Lindsay Ridgeway) and best friend Shawn (Rider Strong). A slightly surreal tone (a little similar to Family Ties) keeps the jokes coming, but BMW is at its most touching when Cory's awareness of and empathy for the needs of others expands. --Tom Keogh

Description:
Go back to the beginning with Cory, Topanga, Shawn and all your favorite characters in Boy Meets World's hilarious first season. With the help of his family and his teacher, Mr. Feeny, Cory (Ben Savage) explores life, relationships and the strange, wild world of sixth grade.

Countless fans of Boy Meets World have waited 3 years, for Season 4 to be released on DVD. I hope Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and ABC finds an independent company that is willing to re-release the 3 Seasons of Boy Meets World on DVD, and release the 4 remaining Seasons in the near future, very soon. Please try harder in searching for the right independent.

Rating: - One of the best shows to ever grace our screens!
I'm not just talking about the first season, I'm talking about the entire, seven-season long, series.

This show made me laugh, it made me cry, and it has never lost the magic that made it so wonderful to me when I was watching it on TGIF growing up!

I really saddens me that Disney didn't bother releasing the entire show on dvd (Honestly, why bother putting a show on dvd if you have no intention of releasing the whole thing? This is an annoying habit of Disney's...), but I'm hopeful that someday it will be fully released on dvd.

Rating: - I now remember why I love this show so much!
I received the first season of Boy Meets World as a birthday gift from my brother. He got it for me because (a) I love to collect TV series on DVD, and (b) Boy Meets World was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I held off watching the DVD set mainly because it had been years since I've seen the first season and while it was my favorite show as a kid, I assumed it would be really cheasy and corny now.

My husband and I finally got around to watching it, and we were BOTH very pleasantly surprised! Sure, it had its cheasy moments, but overall the series was very funny and entertaining... even for two adults!

Yesterday we finished the season and now I'm buying seasons Two and Three. I was sad to hear that seasons 4-7 will not be coming to DVD because of a drop in sales (saw this when my husband "wiki'ed" the show). They don't make shows like this anymore!
