Boy Meets World - The Complete Fifth Season DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When this Boy Meets World! We’re back quickly to Philadelphia! Boy Meets World - The Complete Fifth Season has arrived on DVD after only a 5 month wait! That sure beats the 5 long years wait in between seasons three and four. Join Cory (Ben Savage) and all your favorite characters as they encounter the ups and downs of senior year at John Adams High School. Shawn unexpectedly finds a new love, and in the final episode, Topanga rocks Cory's world with a “surprise” at graduation that we won’t reveal here but you probably all know. We get all 24 episodes of season five on a 3-disc set from Lionsgate/ABC Studios!

The season five cast features Ben Savage as Cory Matthews, Rider Strong as Shawn Patrick Hunter, Danielle Fishel as Topanga Lawrence, Will Friedle as Eric Matthews, Betsy Randle as Amy Matthews, Lindsay Ridgeway as Morgan Matthews, Matthew Lawrence as Jack Hunter, with William Daniels as Mr. Feeny and William Russ as Alan Matthews. Recurring is Trina McGee-Davis as Angela Moore.

So, Pav, I ask this since I don't know how familiar your are with season 5. In "Last Tango in Philly", do they play the song "Hot Stuff" that the guys dance to at the end of the episode or is it replaced with generic music? Also, does Eric sing Lulu's "To Sir, With Love" in the graduation episode, at the ceremony?

These are my two music concerns.

To answer my questions that Pav didn't... YES both songs are on the DVD. Hot Stuff IS there along with Eric singing To Sir with Love in the graduation episode.

Glad they are getting them out quickly but I will have to cherish 1 and 2 more because they are the only ones with commentary. You would think with all them on twitter and having fond memories of the show they would be down for coming back and doing some commentary. Sit in a room for a few hours and knock out a few seasons. They had Will, Ben, Danielle, Rider, Michael Jacobs and a few with Matthew Lawrence for a bunch of episodes but some they split it Ben/Danielle and Rider/Will. Will had a ton to say, Rider as well... Ben not as much.

Hate the DVD cases compared to the nice box sets but everyone is going with dvd cases now because it's easier and cheaper. Also, the shrink wrap stuck to the binding of the DVD case which leaves a bunch of plastic stuck to it. Hate that but it's actually common.
