Boy Meets World is a 90's sitcom about a boy, Cory Matthews, and his journey to adulthood. With him are his best friend Shawn Hunter, his girlfriend Topanga Lawrence, his charming yet silly older brother Eric, and his teacher and next-door-neighbor George Feeny.

Timeslot

Boy Meets World ran from September 24, 1993 to May 5, 2000. Currently, the show airs in syndication on ABC Family (weekdays 8 a.m. - 9 a.m., and weekends 10 a.m. - 11 a.m.) and on the Disney Channel (weekdays at 1 a.m.). Initially, the show aired at 8:30 p.m. in ABC's TGIF lineup, but was moved to 9:30 p.m. in the middle of season 4 due to increasingly adult subject matter. (This was internally noted in the episode Shallow Boy, in which a character complains about his favorite show moving to 9:30.)

Humor

The humor of Boy Meets World developed with its main star. Initially, it was a bit childish, although entertained. Cory was a little sarcastic kid. As the show aged, the humor became more outlandish and farcical. Especially in season 7, physical humor is emphasized. Also, the show isn't above cross-dressing for a laugh, which was the focus of two separate episodes.

The humor is also notable due to a somewhat constant stream of parodies, including of itself, especially in Eric Hollywood. The movie Scream is parodied in And Then There Was Shawn.
