These episodes of Boy Meets World have been BURNED into the back of my brain since forever: The Honeymoon is Over / Picket Fences. 😱

Cory and Topanga return from their honeymoon without a place to live. They turn to Cory’s dad, Alan, for help. Alan insists the two are married now - they’ve gotta figure this out on their own. A mentor and friends offer to help, but no one will truly fulfill Cory and Topanaga’s need for a safe, clean space.

The fights are epic! Their dorm is awful. 🫨 It’s a very messy time and there’s a ton of messaging about marriage and parenthood that I have loved delving into through this video analysis.

I am so, so excited to hear what you think of Alan. Is he the villain? Or, do you empathize with his parenting style? What about Cory? How do you think he handled all of this?! Share all your thoughts with me in the comments.

Remember, this is our little nostalgic corner of the internet (yours & mine 🫧)! I’m so glad you're here. :,)
