Boy Meets World is an American TV series which originally aired in the TGIF[1] block of evening programming, about a hapless junior high school student named Cory Matthews in Philadelphia, PA. The show aired for seven seasons on ABC, following Cory and his friends and family, from high school to college.
Though mainly a comedy, Boy Meets World often dealt with social issues, and several episodes revolved around Shawn Hunter's dysfunctional homelife. There were also episodes parodying horror movie tropes and time travel.
