27 Years Ago Today, Boy Meets World’s Most Devastating Episode Premiered (But the Series Had a Twist Up Its Sleeve)

Boy Meets World, a hugely popular sitcom from the 1990s, was unique because it appealed to a younger audience and allowed viewers to watch its characters mature over time. The show, starring Ben Savage, started by focusing on Cory Matthews and his life in Philadelphia, but quickly evolved into a series that explored the growth and changes of all its characters over seven seasons, showing how they navigated major life events. While generally a light and funny show, an episode that aired 27 years ago really surprised and moved viewers with its unexpected turn.
