1. Danielle Fishel (Topanga) did her own hair for the show.
2. Joshua Matthews weighed 5 pounds at birth.
3. Danielle says she's not like Topanga very much on the show.

in the episode "as time goes by" when topanga goes back in time, she meets erik in his office... that office is mr. feeny's office while he's teaching in high school. (sorry if this is confusing i mean the set is the same...)

i thought that was pretty cool

The writers wrote an episode "Hair today, goon tomorrow" specifically for Danielle so she could cut her hair(finally)

Also the writers in the later seasons made Shawn alot more like how Rider really was

3. Danielle says she's not like Topanga very much on the show

when did she say that? or was it refering to season 1 topanga?

William Daniels and the Dean are married in real life

Several BMW actors have appeared on Home Improvement(Rider Strong, Maitland Ward, Blake Clark, Bonnie Bartlett)

Ben Savage and Rider Strong appeared on an episode of a series called "maybe this time" as Cory and Shawn, but it was a dream sequence of a character on Maybe This Time :)

no in an interview in a magazine a long time ago they asked her if she was like topanga in real life and she said no because she wouldnt have given up yale for a boyfriend...

Danielle and Rider wrote a story in the Chicken Soup for kid's book.
(I read it, and both of the stories were great!)

ben savage (cory) is jewish.

EDIT: BTW, camden girl. When Cory ask Shawn if he was cool and a geek, Shawns says "Of course not". Just letting you know. :)

Danielle wasn't the original Topanga, some other girl was, but Danielle was so good they created the role of Topanga for her. If that makes sense :lol:

It's hard to explain, Michael Jacobs explains it on the commentaries. I guess some other girl was intended to be Topanga, but they then got Danielle and created Topanga just for her.

In the second episode of Season 1 there's a blonde haired girl standing in front of the classroom with a dark haired girl doing a project in Feeny's class, I guess that blonde girl would have been Topanga, Michael Jacobs said that Topanga came from the dark haired girl, and the blonde girl.

It's confusing, you'd have to listen to the commentaries on the DVD to understand :)
