I'm watching the (season 1) DVD right now, and in the episode "Cory's alternite friends" Shawn says he has a sister named Stacey.
But I thoght he's the only child?

hahaha i thought the same thing when i saw that episod he said he has a sis named stacy lmao oh well

I think it was a goof (like it said on TV Tome)....just a mistake.
Oh, well, all TV shows have mistakes in them.

Shawn had a sister for one episode, as did Topanga ;)

Yeah, that's right. But really they're both the only child, right?
Except for Shawn's half brother, Jack.

Anybody remember Shawn's other half brother? That guy had his gang with the little kid.

It was an inside joke. I believer her name was Nebula. Yeah. Sahwn's half borther with gang was named Eddie. I rememebr him.

I don't think it was an inside joke for Topanga, cause they showed her sister in "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not" But for Shawn yeah it was an inside joke :)

Yeah. That's what I mean. :)

I think the best explanation for Shawn having so many siblings was in "Family Trees" where Shawn is talking with the spirit of his father. He mentioned that Chet was married several times and Shawn never knew who his real mother was. Shawn's long-lost siblings could have come from Chet's previous marriages. Just a thought.

Daffyfan2004: Would have to agree with you.

I guess sarcastically putting down Jessica Simpson's intelligence in comparison to the logic holes often found on Boy Meet World can be considered baiting fellow posters. I apologize.

Wow.

To answer the question, Shawn was a marginal character in the first season, so his character wasn't really something to take seriously at that point. As his role increased, they changed his character and built part of the show around him, so they had to ignore the logic hole from the first season. Trying to spin it into making some form of sense from a logic standpoint is meaingless, which was my point in my earlier post that was edited. It was a case of the writers hoping the audience never realized or didn't care. In the grand scheme of things, the latter is probably true.

Yeah I edited your post, if you have a problem with it, PM TJ. Your comment was rude and wasn't necessary, if you have nothing constructive to contribute then don't bother with anything at all.

It's obvious you don't like the show, so since you don't, then you don't belong on this board, TJ would tell you the same thing.

Care to explain how it was rude? You seem to misinterpret rudeness fairly easily.

As best as I can remember, I said something to effect of: "trying to explain some of the logic holes on BMW after the 2nd or 3rd season is like expecting Jessica Simpson to win 20 straight rounds of Double Jeopardy". If you thought it wasn't funny, that's one thing. If you thought it was rude, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone with an ounce of sarcasm detection to agree with you.

Holy overreaction, batman. Good grief.

Wow, there are so many problems with that statement. One, you have no evidence that I don't like the show. It's an assumption on your part. In fact, as I've stated on other threads, I do like the show. Just because I don't put a :lol: smiley after every poop joke by Eric Matthews (that's a wonderful thread, by the way), doesn't mean I don't like the show. Otherwise why would I bother knowing most of the storylines and posting on this message board? To have you overreact? While that seems enjoyable, it's really not my cup of tea.

Secondly, are mods supposed to encourage insulting other members? You've threatened me to leave this message board for no justifiable reason, and accused me of being "rude". That's personal attacking, if I'm not mistaken. What justification did you have to come to any of those conclusions, and insult me in the process? My sarcastic comment that was edited did not insult anyone, nor did it insult the show. It was a sarcastic comment that was meant to amuse, if it didn't, I can't control that.

Just a tad overreaction on your part, my good buddy.

The people that Bash the show and hate it shouldn't be here. This newbie person is tryign to get arise out of you all and start arguments and stuff. Not really worth fighting. I think he/she should be ignored or something. BMW rules an if you don't like the show, then leave. 3 mroe days til season 2 DVD release. Can't wait.

Do you come here just to bash BMW?

No, quite the contrary. I come here to discuss BMW, and other sitcoms on other boards should I browse there. If you took the time to read my posts, you'll see I critisize certain aspects of the show, while praising others. Purely from an objective viewpoint. I like BMW as much as the next person who posts here, otherwise why would I take valuable time out of my day to post here? To make Angela_Miceli angry? Although, that's beginning to be fun for me now.

My comment that was edited was not critisizing the show, it was a tongue in cheek reply to someone who tried to logically sort through the "Shawn's sister in the first season" storyline. Simply put, Shawn wasn't a main character in the first season, so his family/history wasn't important. As the show went to the second season, his character became a regular and a big part of the show, so the writer's molded his character to what they wanted it to be. It's just a part of the show that the writers want to ignore (like Richie's brother on Happy Days). That's common knowledge, I simply put a sarcastic spin on it. Maybe I'll take advantage of the smiley priviledges this forum permits.

I'll leave it at that.
