Same teacher for 7 years?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I wonder why Mr.Feeny was their teacher for 7 straight years. To me that's strange cause I never had the same teacher more than once. And in college, how come Jack, Eric, and everyone was in the same class. I didn't know they all had the same class together.

Also Mr.Turner taught the same classroom with the same ppl for 2 years. Weird.

Yep you're right, he was the principal, he then wanted to retire when the "gang" graduated, but decided retirement wouldn't work for him, so he (if I remember right, he was a student originally at the college, but the dean decided he made a better teacher than student)

I remember laughing at how he followed them to college. I guess the show needed him there to give guidence to Cory, Shawn and Topanga (not to mention Eric), but it just seemed silly.

I remember Mr. Feeny was their teacher in the first season. Then when Cory went to highschool the next season he was shocked to find Mr. Feeny had become the principal there. Mr. Turner (and for a while Eli Williams) was the gang's teacher from seasons 2-4, while Feeny remained the Principal. Now season Five I don't remember. I think Feeny was their teacher as well as principal, due to Turner's absence from the series. And then as you've (Topanga) already pointed out, became their teacher in college, after becoming a student first.

Our high school used to have a teacher who stayed with each year right through, sort of giving guidance. He didn't follow me to College though! But I don't think it's that unusual for a teacher to switch from junior to high school or College. We also had teachers who taught the same subject for several grades.

I don't think when the show started they knew how long it would last (if at all) but as it kept going they wanted to keep Wm Daniels, so had to come up with new roles for him.

I'm glad they kept Mr. Feeny around as their teacher throughout the series, He was a great part of the cast. It made an impact on the last episode of the series as well, when he was in the classroom by himself.

Mr. Feeny was a good character, but he was like Wilson in home Improvement, he was always turning up everywhere and it was too unbeliveable that he was their teacher for alot of their lives

Mr Feeny was there teacher in season 2. Remember the first episode he was talking to Mr Feeny in the principals office, when he was in trouble and he said my next class is with Mr. Feeny

He was principal, and then he became their teacher. After that, he became principal again. Then he took the teaching job at the gang's college.

Actually, I'm starting to wonder if my life is turning into 'Boy Meets World'. I hang around my English teacher, I'm finally starting to have my own little posse... I could be in trouble!
