Hey BMW Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of The World According To Cory: An Unofficial Boy Meets World Podcast. Today, I covered S1E4: Cory's Alternative Friends, which aired on October 15, 1993.

I thought this was a good episode for Cory to see that a person's outside appearance doesn't define who they are on the inside. So many kids in the episode from 90's movies, Yeah-Yeah the kid from the movie The Sandlot in 1993, Spike the kid from The Little Giants in 1994, Troy the kid from the movie Angus in 1995 and eventually 1999's American Pie as "The Sherminator". I loved Topanga in this episode she was sweet and didn't judge Cory and I loved the little confused looks who gave her, it's clear the audience loves her too, I notice Shawn's back story is still being developed because he mentions to Cory about play
