Boy Meets World

City Slackers - S3-E11

Trivia: At the very end of the episode, Eric sinks all 15 billiard balls as well as the cue ball. This was achieved on the very first take. Will Friedle almost ruined the take with his surprised look. According to him, the person who set up the balls in such a manner to make the shot possible told him that the cue ball wasn't necessarily supposed to go in as well. Supposedly, it was a world record for the most billiard balls sunk in one shot for a television or film production.

Show generally

Question: Topanga said in one episode that she has a weird middle name, did she ever say what it is?

Answer: Topanga's middle name is never specified. Considering her sister's name is Nebula Stop-the-war Lawrence, Topanga's is probably something equally unusual.
