Wrong Side of the Tracks - S2-E19

Trivia: While filming the ice-skating scene, Nancy Kerrigan mentioned to Will Friedle that afterwards she would be going to rehab. Not realizing she was talking about her recent infamous leg injury, he responded to her by saying "Really, for what?" When she said it was for her leg, he responded with "How is that going?" The crew then informed the two that it was time to resume filming, which Friedle was thankful for, as the situation was quickly becoming very awkward for him.

Wrong Side of the Tracks - S2-E19

Trivia: The reason why Harley is played by a different actor for this episode, and then subsequently written out of the show and replaced by Griff, is because Danny McNulty, in his own words, suffered a bipolar meltdown during the table read and ended up checking into a mental health facility for around a month. He said it ended up largely derailing his acting career until he returned to play Harley again in Girl Meets World.

Wrong Side of the Tracks - S2-E19

Trivia: Will Friedle has said that for the dream sequence with Nancy Kerrigan, they dyed his hair to match the ice-skating double's hair, instead of the other way around, likely because it is easier to darken someone's hair than it is to lighten it. Friedle wondered why they didn't just have him and the double wear beanies to cover their hair instead of sending him to a salon in Lake Placid to get his hair dyed.

Me and Mr. Joad - S2-E4

Mr. Feeny: You know, you seem amused by this display of defiance, Mr. Turner.
Mr. Turner: Oh, I am, I gotta say. 'Cause if I had done to me what I did to them, then I'd have done the same thing to me that they did.
Mr. Feeny: Go to the board and diagram that sentence.

Boys II Mensa - S1-E6

Question: When Mr. Feeny is talking to Cory in the cafeteria about his score on the IQ test, Feeny is shown purchasing a coffee from the vending machine. Are there actual elementary schools in the United States with coffee vending machines where prepubescent students have the ability to purchase a beverage more suited for younger adults and older? This isn't the faculty cafeteria mind you, because it's the same cafeteria the students are shown occupying throughout the first season. Seems a little irresponsible on the school's part to give students access to coffee.

Chosen answer: In the present day, with the United States abiding by more stricter school health laws, for the most part this wouldn't be in school cafeterias as many cannot even have carbonated beverage machines now. However, in the 90s when the show takes place, it wasn't unheard of for there to be coffee machines in the cafeteria of small schools where the teachers eat with the students as we see them do often in the show. The idea being that the cafeteria was small enough so a teacher or hall monitor could catch a student before they could drink the coffee.
