[edit] Run-on sentences

This article is written almost entirely with run on sentences. It needs badly to be revised to improve readibility.

It seems fine to me.

[edit] Revamps for this article

Remember, Wikipedia talk pages are not general discussion forums, but places where improvements to articles can be discussed. Please do not post comments and/or opinions about the show in general. Also, please follow Wikipedia policy by signing your posts.

Currently, this article reads more like a positive review of the show than an encyclopedia article. This needs to be fixed. Does anyone have any objection if I make some changes? Citadel18080 02:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

List of Revisions: If anyone disputes these changes, please discuss them here

  • Characters section cleaned up. All characters that were not at one point part of the main cast were removed from this summary list. Descriptions of characters also removed, as this information is duplicated in the characters article. Citadel18080 03:37, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Continutiy section cleaned up. "American Broadcasting Company references" subheading removed. The reference to ABC moving Boy Meets World to a later time slot was moved to the description of the episode, "Shallow Boy", in the episode guide. The mention of the Monkees had nothing to do with references made to ABC. Citadel18080 03:52, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Syndication section condensed. "Disney Channel Banned Episodes" subheading integrated into main section. Citadel18080 18:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • ABC Family (in the United States) no longer airs Boy Meets World as of the September 2007, I think this should be reflected in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.141.241.182 (talk) 18:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Running gags

Could someone add some explanations to this section, or trim it back? For example, I don't see how Cory's choice of underwear is a running gag. I wear briefs, but have never found anyone finds this funny. I don't want to go wild and cut all the stuff that strikes me as guff, because I don't remember the show well enough. There may well have been recurring gags and Cory's undercrackers, but I don't recall them. Optimus Sledge 04:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Agreed and tag. Many items in the list are not running gags, just trivia in disguise. I've made several tags for suggest clean ups with notes in the edit summary. Collectonian 03:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I've cleaned up that section and removed some that weren't really running gags (they seemed more like character traits). --Kiseki Megami (talk) 04:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series

I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 16:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Season 8

I've been trying to include this in this article for some months now, but it keeps getting removed I must not be doing it right. But, in the Season 1 DVD collection on the commentary Michael Jacobs said himself ABC approached him and asked him to do an 8th season, he declined because they did not have anymore ideas. How can this be included? ( 98.220.16.130 (talk) 05:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC) )
