Tournament Round One: Boy Meets World vs. Reba - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

icecream · 10-26-2021, 11:42 PM

Boy Meets World was a staple of ABC's TGIF lineup for 7 seasons from 1993-2000. Starring Ben Savage as Cory Matthews and Rider Strong as his best friend Shawn Hunter. Also starring William Daniels as his teacher and principal Mr. Feeny who lived next door, Will Friedle as Cory's older brother Eric, William Russ and Betsy Randle as their parents Alan and Amy, Lily Nicksay and Lindsay Ridgeway as younger sister Morgan, and Danielle Fishel as Cory's girlfriend and eventual wife Topanga Lawrence. In season 1 Lee Norris played genius Stuart Minkus. But he was not seen again until high school graduation. Seasons 2-4 Anthony Tyler Quinn played teacher Mr. Turner who became Shawn's guardian. He was sadly not kept on the show, supposedly because they did not want one teacher staying around permanently. Yet Mr. Feeny never left, following them to college.

In later seasons Matthew Lawrence played Shawn's long lost brother Jack Newman.

Reba is the most famous sitcom from the WB and has done very well in syndication. It lasted six seasons from 2001-2007, starring country music singer Reba McEntire as divorced Texas mother of three Reba Hart. The pilot finds her daughter Cheyenne (Joanna Garcia) had gotten pregnant in high school. Her boyfriend Van Montgomery (Steve Howey) proposed so Van and Cheyenne got married. Scarlett Pomers plays Reba's other daughter Kyra who resents all the attention Cheyenne and Van get. She had to miss season 5 because of anorexia irl, but returned for the final season that was now on the CW. Christopher Rich plays Reba's separated husband Brock. The separation quickly became a divorce when it is found out he cheated on her with his assistant Barbara Jean (Melissa Peterman). Barbara Jean is clueless about how angry she makes Reba and is always coming around. Also starring Mitch Holleman as Reba and Brock's youngest child Jake.

Reba is very underated in my opinion. Where are all my Reba and Van fans out there? Vote for Reba...

Too bad I didn’t see this sooner. Reba is way better and maintained the same cast all series
