Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, and today I'm bringing you a special episode in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day, Boy Meets World S1E8: Teacher's Bet, which aired on November 19, 1993. In this episode Mr. Feeny makes a bet with Cory to teach his class for a week, if more students pass Cory wins, and if more students fail, Feeny wins. I really enjoyed this episode and felt it had a lot of positive points for us 90's kids when it came to talking about an important subject such as prejudice as we watch through the eyes of young Cory Matthews, as he's hit with an example of prejudice at home with his brother Eric's girlfriend Linda who's Asian after she is slammed with a derogatory term (for the show they just refer to it as bad name, but we all know what they mean) by some racist idiot at the mall and Cory's mind is blown after he just told his Dad, that prejudice is something that happened a long time ago like with Anne Frank and the Nazis. He really has no clue. His reality bubble is about to be burst. H
