Sports On TV: Boy Meets World’s 20 Greatest Sports Moments

Written by Brandon Stroud / 11.21.12


Boy Meets World Sports

This week’s Sports On TV covers another show people have been requesting since the column’s inception: ‘Boy Meets World,’ the long-running TGIF staple that asked, “if Fred Savage can have a successful television show, shouldn’t his little brother have one as well?”

‘Boy Meets World’ ran for seven seasons from 1993 to 2000 on ABC, and now’s a better time than ever to look back on the show’s 158 episodes. Why? Take it away, Wikipedia!

n November 2012 it was reported that Disney Channel is in the early stages of development of a follow-up series titled ‘Girl Meets World,’ which will center around Cory and Topanga’s 13-year-old daughter. Boy Meets World co-creator Michael Jacobs will develop the series and serve as its executive producer and showrunner. It is yet unknown if any of the original actors will return if the series gets a pilot order or is greenlit as a series, although Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel are in talks to reprise their characters.

If that news excites you or a 12-year old in your household, you’re going to love this column. If you’ve never seen ‘Boy Meets World’ and don’t know what it has to do with sports, what’re you, new? Here’s a sneak preview of what’s inside: Olympic athletes, WWF wrestlers, at least six dozen people you’ll recognize from currently-popular TV shows and at least one insane, weird man dressed as Lance Armstrong. Enjoy.

Pre-show notes:

- Please make sure to leave a comment on the report. Facebook likes and Twitter shares are huge. These take forever to write, so if you want me to keep them up instead of just posting tweets about Skip Bayless from Jose Canseco or whatever like a normal popular sports blog should, do your part.

- Thanks to Casey of the WWE Magazine awareness-winning Hammerlock Dialectic for pics and gifs.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

- If you’re one of those people who got to the report early and don’t see all the pages, please consider spending some time listening to today’s epic edition of the With Spandex pro wrestling podcast. It’s about the greatest fan fiction of all time, Adventures In Bitchsitting, and deals with Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle as single fathers. It’s amazing, and you should hear it (plus it’ll by me a little time).

Enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw for June 11, 2012. Three hours of it. Jesus.
