Two things:
1. We got day care! Praise God, it worked out!
2. The rest of this post might be a little hokey. It’s not
like me to care about such things, but darn it, they’ve been on my mind!
Boy Meets World is revamping with Girl Meets World. Told
you!
Okay. Back in the 90s, I watched that show every week, from
the time it started until the series finale. I was a fan of the early years (I
was also ages 11 through 14 in those early years) and less of a fan in the
later years. The relationship created for Cory and Topanga is one that I have often
read about or heard about as the “perfect” relationship.
Really, I’m not making that up. This seems to be a sentiment
held by people around my age who also grew up watching the show. It makes sense-
Childhood friends who fall in love, go through hard times, overcome the
difficulties to get married, and face the future together as a team. Classic love
story.
What bothers me is that it was SO CORNY. Oh. My. Gosh. So
corny. “But,” one might argue, “you still watched it!” Well, yeah, I did, and I
don’t even think I could explain why I still watched it (I was young? My friends watched it? The Feeny call?), but
most episodes made me cringe once Cory and Topanga became a couple. Their
relationship seemed so over done with really phony, overly emotional dialogue.
Am I the only one who thought they were so fake? Does it
even matter?? Not at all! It was a television show!! It’s just that so many
people have been talking about it lately and it has been on my mind. So there
you go. End of post.
