To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again.

Across whole show

In the episodes when they show Topanga's dad there's a different actor every time. The first time you see her dad he has long hair, and the next few times after that he has short hair and looks completely different. [In seasons two and three it was Peter Tork, in season six it was Michael McKean and in season seven it was Mark Harelik. Occasionaly roles need to be recast and it is not a mistake that the actors are not identical.]

In season 1 when the camera zooms in on Cory and Eric's room, their window is shown on the front of the house. In other episodes Shawn has climbed through the window a number of times. He has done this from the tree house, but the tree house is on the side of the house by Feeny's yard. [Their room is in the corner of the house. There easily could have been a window on the front and the side.]

Ben Savage (Cory Matthews) from "Boy Meets World" is the real life younger brother of Fred Savage (Kevin Arnold) from "The Wonder Years," another hit Disney program. [This is trivia for the show how? It really isn't relative or interesting]

Kid Gloves (series 1)

Alan tells Cory that he won the gloves for finishing second in his weight class, yet when Cory is on the phone, he says they belong to the second best boxer in the whole Navy. [Alan said "Second in my weight class in the entire United States Navy." Cory was right.]

The Fugitive (series 1)

When Amy and Morgan enter Cory's bathroom, Shawn somehow gets out (presumably through a window). But in "Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow," the bathroom is shown, and there is no window. [Amy says that the door between Morgan's room and the bathroom is locked, so presumably, it is through this door and out Morgan's bedroom that Shawn leaves. There is a door there when we see the bathroom later.]

Allan says Cory and Shawn have been best friends since Shawn taught Cory how to pick the lock on his playpen. But the flashback in "It's Not You, It's Me" shows Shawn and Cory meeting for the first time at the zoo, aged around 6 or 7. [He was saying that to imply that Cory and Shawn have been best friends forever, it was not meant to be take literally.]

The B-Team of Life (series 1)

When Cory is telling the family about his game, he says he grabbed the rebound, and the opposing team fouled him. Then he made the free throw and won the game. In logic, no team would give another team a free throw, rather than making someone shoot a final shot. [It says that no real team would foul anyone, but Cory didn't even play in the game. He was making up the entire story, so even if it isn't logical, he may have not thought it through.]

Why did Cory's family go to the game when his basketball coach said that 2nd string doesn't go to the away games? [The coach told him during the school day. Corey didn't have a chance to tell his family, so when he got home, his family had already left for the game.]

She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not (series 1)

In this episode, Topanga's sister comes to pick her up from Cory's house at the end. She is never mentioned or seen again. [How is this a mistake, many guest stars in shows are never seen again. Maybe she moved out. Just because she isn't in any more story-lines doesn't mean she isn't around.]

Topanga acts like she didn't know Eric was Cory's brother, but in later episodes, Topanga and Cory had known each other for practically their whole lives. How could Topanga have not known about Eric? [She didn't say "I don't know who Eric is" she probably just didn't recognize him. People can change a lot within a few years.]

The Father/Son Game (series 1)

When the bell rings after Mr. Feeney's first class, Cory doesn't take his books, even though everyone else does. Also, unless they say the Pledge of Alleigance toward the end, the class is about five minutes long. [Doesn't mean Cory didn't realize his mistake and come back for his books later. And some schools do the Pledge of Alleigance toward the end of class. My Junior High School did.]

Class Pre-Union (series 1)

The sign at the class reunion says "Welcome Back, Class of 2000," but the characters actually graduated from high school in a 1998 episode. [In reality, if you do the math, they should have graduated in 2000 as shown in the episode. Since it was a series, they combined a few grades into a season, like season 2 had them in 7th and 8th grade. Technically, 2000 is correct.]

Grandma Was a Rolling Stone (series 1)

Neither Cory's grandmother nor Feeny's niece are ever mentioned again. [Many T.V. shows have a charcter for one episode, nothing intresting or unusual about that.]

Cory's Alternative Friends (series 1)

In the episode "Cory's Alternative Friends," Mr. Feeny says he taught only 6th grade for many years, but later in the series it is established (against all educational practice) that he has been Cory and Shawn's teacher in every grade at school. [This doesn't mean that Mr. Feeny couldn't have taught 6th grade for years before Corey and the others started school. He is obviously old enough to have been teaching for years before they were even born.]

On the Fence (series 1)

If Shawn lives in a trailer park, and as we later find out, his father has trouble paying the bills, how can he afford an extremely expensive water gun? [That water gun wasn't really implied to have been expensive, just amazing because it could hold so much water and was so big. Plenty of stores sell water guns that can hold a ton of water and are farely huge and it doesn't even cost over 15 dollars. Plus, it may have been a gift.]

The Thrilla' in Phila' (series 2)

Mr. Feeny calls Frankie's father Leslie, but in New Friends and Old he is called Frankie, Sr. [His name IS Leslie, but he most likely had it changed years later because it would be emberassing to be a Pro Wrestler named "Leslie"...]

By Hook or By Crook (series 2)

When the boys are talking about Mr. Feneey's test being so hard Eric says each question had 11 choices. Then he asks his friend what he put for a question and he says R, and the Eric says he put V, and those are pasts the 11th letter, and later the girl is giving Eric the answers she says 4 is X, again past the 11th letter. [That doesn't necessarily matter. I've taken tests with five choices with question 2 having F,G,H,I, and J.]

Notorious (series 2)

In this episode, and a few others, Mr. Feeny's office is across from Mr. Turner's class. But in other episodes, it's the boys bathroom. [If you notice from seasons 2-5 the room next to the phone changes from the boys' room to the girls' and to Mr. Feenys' office.]

Brother Brother (series 3)

If you keep your eye on Rider in the scene where they are at Chubbie's, he pulls out a piece of paper and looks at it. They were probably his lines. [Possibly but it could have been a number of other things too, we can't automatically jump to the conclusion it was his lines.]

The Happiest Show On Earth (series 3)

When Corey and Shawn sleep in a Splash Mountain log (impossible anyway) and they go over the drop, they seem surprised as if the ride just started. In reality there is about a 10-minute journey past show scenes before the "big drop" [It's possible that they didn't notice the ride started. I've been on that ride and it isn't very wild till the end.]
