Fairly good list but I still think it would have been better for the show (and the viewers) had Shawn come to terms with the kind of father Chet actually HAD BEEN after his death rather than retro-sanctifying him and everyone going along!

Thanks for the clip. A good deal of the acknowledged material is stuff that I never knew happened on the show. Corey and Shawn getting into alcohol and Shawn falling into the trap of a cult are two of them things. Eventually I may get this show on DVD in order to see what I missed. I hope that Girl Meets World is eventually released at some point because I do remember the boy that Eric had to let go of because of the boy getting adopted by another family, but I don't recall ever seeing them meet up again during the Girl Meets World show. I will admit that I missed an episode or two of that show as well, one being the installment where Shawn's brother made an appearance.

God bless you and the cast of both shows always!!!

P.S. Mr. Turner ending up in the hospital, Mr. Hunter's heart attack, Topanga being stalked by her college professor are things that I do remember. Joshua's premature arrival into the world is another. I remember Corey and Topanga's rocky start to their married life together too. I remember how hard it was for her to even give marriage a chance due to the way things ended up going for her parents.

In, GMW Eric got reunited with the young boy he'd hoped to adopt in 'Girl Meets Mr.Squirrels Goes to Washington'. Of course, it wasn't until near the end that this got revealed in a climactic scene. Yes, this was easily one of the most positive positive of the all-too-few positive moments of the show( and be forewarned that the viewer must endure some two-dimensional if not downright cartoonish by Riley and Eric before this time).
