Boy Meets World is only the greatest syndicated family television show in all of history. Grew up on this stuff.
From wikipedia...
Philadelphia references
It is one of the few television shows to take place primarily in the Philadelphia area, and makes multiple local references. These include Cory's love for the Phillies and Morgan always wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jacket. Eric's attempts to get into Swarthmore College—finally ending with Cory and most of the cast attending Pennbrook, an institution that appears to be a pastiche of Swarthmore, Penn, Saint Joseph's University, and other Philly-area colleges. Pennbrook is also the name of a train station in suburban Lansdale on Philadelphia's R5 Line, as well as the name of a nearby middle school. In an episode in Season 4, while attempting to lure Shawn into an SAT review session, Cory coerces Mr. Feeny into mentioning that they have cake at the session from the "Westchester Bakery". There is no such bakery, but the borough West Chester exists west of Philadelphia. Chubbie's Famous was an actual Philly cheesesteak location that actually did not have much sit down space, unlike the sound-stage set led many to believe. The actual landmark is very similar to Pat's and Geno's, two other Philadelphia cheesesteak landmarks. Shawn's father is featured in an episode, and it is mentioned that he is from Reading, a town in the Philadelphia area. Also when Cory is on the basketball team he has a game against Cheltenham, which is a suburb right outside of Philadelphia.
Old School version...
The new school version...
Sidenote: Back in my San Diego days, I partied at the Sigma Chi frat house during a huge Reggae Summer Beach house themed party (of which was voted as one of the top 10 college parties according to Playboy magazine). Anyways, supposedly I had met and conversed with Danielle Fishel. She identified herself as such and I was taken aback that this may be the real Topanga. However, I was soooo wasted that night I think I made a fool of myself reminding her of Boy Meets World days and just ruined it. I hope she was not messing with me and telling me she was Danielle Fishel just because she looked exactly like her
hahahaha it prolly really was her!! and that party sounds amazing. wish i were there!
but def boy meets world prlly one of the best shows ever
