Trivia for
"Boy Meets World" (1993) (from IMDB)

As an in-joke to the film 1776 (1972), the high school is named John Adams High. William Daniels played John Adams in the film, and plays the principal here.
Several times throughout the years they mention how Cory and Topanga first met, but it's never the same story. Their "first" meeting happened at several different ages and places.
The 'rules' posted in the John Adams High School cafeteria are "No loud talking, no reading, no shooting".

In the beginning of the show, Shawn mentions he has a sister. This 'sister' helped with the "straightening" of Cory's hair in one of the episodes. However, later on in the show, we learn that Shawn doesn't have a sister.
In one episode, William Daniels mentions that The Graduate (1967) was a great film. He played Mr. Braddock in that movie.
In Episode 3-17 The Pink Flamingo Kid, we find out that Shawn has a half brother named Eddie, who he protects Cory from when Cory tapes him with stolen goods. We never hear about Eddie again, or a brother of Shawn's till Jack enters the show in season 5 as Shawn's half brother.
In the series finale Cory talks to his little brother Joshua played by Daniel Jacob, earlier in the season Daniel Jacobs played the little boy standing in the hallway when Topanga and Cory move into their apartment in "The Honeymoon is Over"
In another nod to William Daniels's 1776 role of John Adams, the episode where Eric decides he wants to be a teacher, the immigrants recite the Declaration of Independence in the final scene. The term "inalienable rights" was replaced with "unalienable rights," the term that John Adams fights to be replaced in a memorable scene in 1776, a phrase Thomas Jefferson refused to yield on.
In episode 119, "Kid Gloves", we see Cory scuba diving in the school pool from his point of view, and then come up to the surface to see Mr. Feeny looking down on him. This mimicks a scene in The Graduate (1967) in which Dustin Hoffman's character comes up from scuba diving to see his father looking down on him who, like Mr. Feeny, is also played by William Daniels.
The episodes "Prom-ises, Prom-ises", "If You Can't Be With the One You Love...", and "The Truth About Honesty" are banned from airing on The Disney Channel due to their frank discussion about pre-marital sex and teen drinking.
In the episode when Topenga has a crush on Eric, she introduces her sister Nebula. After that episode we never hear from her again.
Topanga's father, Jedediah Lawrence, has been played by three different actors: first Peter Tork, then 'Michael McKean' , and finally Mark Harelik. Her mother, Rhiannon Lawrence has been played by two different actresses: Annette O'Toole and Marcia Cross.
During the seven seasons of Boy Meets World, Willie Garson appears as three different characters. He plays Leonard Spinelli, Mervyn, and the minister who marries Topanga and Cory.
Cory's first name stands for Cornelius.
