'Boy Meets World': 20 Fun Facts

Fans of '90s TV rejoiced recently when news broke that there's a "Boy Meets World" sequel in the works. The Disney Channel is planning an updated version, which will follow a now grown-up and married Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence as they raise their own teen daughter, hence the new name "Girl Meets World." And in a true stroke of poetic justice, Cory has become a teacher just like his tortured mentor, Mr. Feeny. There's no solid info yet as to whether or not the original cast will be returning to their roles, so while fans hang tight, here are some fun facts about the original show to help bide the time. — Amy and Nancy Harrington, Yahoo!
