Have you been sad for the last 12 years and couldn’t put your finger on it?
It’s probably because that’s when the last episode of “Boy Meets World” aired.
Remember sobbing at that series finale? Mr. Feeny told those three best friends some pretty great advice: “Believe in yourselves. Dream. Try. Do good.”
That show pretty much helped raise a generation of Americans. It taught us really hard lessons as well as really fun ones — like the time Cory and Shawn had to hug, or when Eric dressed up as a couch.
Well, here’s some good news, millennials: “Boy Meets World” might be coming back to TVs everywhere.
Disney is currently in talks to bring around a sequel to our beloved sitcom; it would focus on Cory and Topanga’s daughter.
Needless to say, we’re very ready for “Girl Meets World.”
There’s still no word on whether the original cast will play a role in the new series, but we’d imagine that Cory and Topanga would have to be involved, at least. This TV series puts a whole lot of things into perspective. Things feel a lot less desolate now.
“Boy Meets World” was around during a more wholesome time in our lives. It was a show we could all watch with our families. These days, who knows if an awkward sex scene is going to pop up and makes us want to change the channel.
It’s not like anyone under 16 years old should be watching any of the “Real Housewives” shows anyway.
You could almost say that there’s a bit of hope and change in the air. America needs this. Do you know what happened after “Boy Meets World” was canceled? George W. Bush was elected to office. That was not the best way to spend eight years after our favorite show disappeared from our lives.
Imagine “Modern Family” is about to be canceled (or whatever your favorite TV show is. What are the kids watching these days?). Who would you rather be your president as you spend the next four years mourning that show?
It’s halftime, America, and we’ve got some decisions to make. Should you take that early class for your major or that one elective about alcohol? Should you apply for one internship that you really want or absolutely all of them? Should you pick the presidential candidate that is awesome/not a robot or the one who once described lemonade as “Lemon. Wet. Good.”?
Make the smart choices that will benefit you the most.
What we’re really saying is that you should probably vote for Barack Obama.
Surprise! This was an endorsement article all along! At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who we’d prefer you to vote for. It matters that you vote for who you want; if that means not voting, then fine, but the election cycle is almost over, folks.
We can at least agree with each other that we’re glad to see the political ads fade away.
Tomorrow is Election Day, in case you hadn’t heard.
Keep “Boy Meets World” in your thoughts as you stand in line to vote tomorrow.
