1. “Cory’s Alternative Friends”
This early season one episode introduced the world to Topanga Lawrence, as well as a romance that couldn’t be stopped. The future Mrs. Matthews danced to poetry with a face covered in lipstick; Later on, she and Cory shared their first kiss. If Riley and Lucas are the new Cory and Topanga, we’ll need a moment as adorable as this one.
2. “Santa’s Little Helper”
Though this episode isn’t quite as memorable, it was the first installment to focus on Shawn and his impoverished family.
The “Girl Meets World” pilot briefly touches upon Maya coming from a broken home, but the spinoff will need to revisit that idea in a more meaningful way if its writers ever want Maya’s troubles to carry the same weight as Shawn’s.
3. “Boy Meets Girl”
This episode was the first to show that Cory had a crush on Topanga. The uncontrollable laughter he spewed upon high-fiving his future bride was a redefining moment for the program, which up until then had focused more on Cory’s home life than on his friendships with Topanga and Shawn. A similar laugh is uttered by Riley when she first sees Lucas on the subway. Like father, like daughter, I suppose.
4. “Notorious”
Just as Shawn tried pulling a fast one on Mr. Feeny by misprinting his name in the student newspaper (“Weeny! It says Weeny! I can read!”), Maya can attempt to pull a fast one on Mr. Matthews. Perhaps an exposé on Cory’s love of pudding?
5. “Career Day”
In this season two episode, Chet Hunter was officially introduced, and Shawn’s backstory was firmly established. It was a turning point for “Boy,” as it showed the program could be equally successful exploring darker themes and tragic premises.
6. “Wheels”
Riley and Maya aren’t old enough to drive, but perhaps in season four?
This 1997 episode pitted father against son as Cory and Alan argued over the former’s driving privileges on the eve of his 16th birthday. Above all else, it was an episode about the unbreakable bond between a father and his child. For “Girl” to succeed, it’ll need to be as much about the Matthews’ family bond as it is about Riley and Maya’s separate adventures.
7. “Chick Like Me”
No part of me needs to see Ben Savage’s hosiery bunching ever again!
But perhaps a new combination of characters are coerced into dressing up as the opposite sex for the sake of a school assignment?
Also probably best if we wait until later seasons to tackle this one!
8. “And Then There was Shawn”
This “Scream” parody is a favorite amongst “Boy’s” fan base, but unless “Scream 5″ comes along, “Girl Meets World” might need a more contemporary horror film to spoof.
9. “Bee True”
Unlike Mr. Feeny, Cory won’t need Riley and Maya’s help to tell the woman of his dreams how he feels, but maybe, just maybe, they’ll have a scheme to reunite Shawn and Angela.
A fan can dream!
10. “The War”/”Seven the Hard Way”
Okay, so technically this is two episodes, but c’mon! I don’t even know that I need “Girl Meets World” to remake this hour, but I demand an update on the whereabouts of Plays with Squirrels. He married a moose!
