Boy Meets World: The Bromance That Almost Wasn't



Rider Strong, in this CNN article (yeah, I know), discusses how Cory, Shawn, and Topanga clicked after many attempts to force Cory to have a gang.  It all started when a kid got fired, which is just an awkward sentence to start a story with a happy ending with, but it all worked out - especially since it was the first episode with Topanga.

Sometimes I wonder about alternate universe Boy Meets World - the one where Cory had a group of friends, Topanga was a background character, and also Minkus was there.  That would be one bizarre universe.  Even though I always liked Minkus and hippie Topanga, I'm happy with the Boy Meets World we got.  Plus, if we were in the alternate universe, there'd be no Girl Meets World, and that has the potential to be the darkest timeline.

Unless Cory hooked up with TK and they had a GMW of their own... but then I'm thinking, neurotic thugs with mob-like connections, and that show would never fly.
