I remember how TV Guide and other critics didn't think the show would last as long as it did, unnecessarily putting Ben Savage and his new show in brother Fred's shadow. But Ben and "Boy Meets World" would have the last laugh, running for seven consistently entertaining seasons while building a HUGE viewer fanbase. This complete first season set is somewhat of a special collector's item for casual and diehard BMW viewers, who not only can revisit the freshman season at their leisure but can also re-examine the individual episodes for continuity issues that would later plague the show. "Boy Meets World" featured a perfect blend of heart and comedy in EVERY single episode for its entire series run, and starting with this Season 1 set, can be owned on DVD!

All in all, this is a great season of Boy Meets World. And trust me...it only keeps getting better!!

I collect TV show DVD sets, and I'm very happy to say that this set, containg the first 22 episodes (the whole first season) of Boy Meets World, is no disappointment. The episodes are in great quality, there is a "play all" feature which I find to be very uncommon among DVD sets, and there are many bonus features, like an episode from season 4, audio commentary, and more. I was very impressed with these DVDs and hope future Boy Meets World sets come out just as impressive as this one.

Having grown up with Boy Meets World on the TGIF lineup, I was thrilled to see that the first season was finally to be released on DVD. Needless to say, as soon as I spotted it in the stores I snatched it up and I have to say, it was worth every cent I spent on it!
Rewatching all those episodes that I loved so much was awesome! Seeing Minkus once again was definately a great thing, as well as seeing Jason Marsden.
I loved Cory's "___ Boy!" stage that he went through ("I am Scuba Boy!" "I am Action Boy!" etc...) and, of course, Topanga's hair.

The cast commentaries on certain episodes had me laughing til my sides hurt and it's great to see that the cast members really get along. (a particular favourite of mine was Will Friedle's jabs at Matthew Lawrence throughout the commentaries. Making fun of Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad...classic!)

The bonus episode from season 4 is great. It's actually one of my favourites. It's the episode with Eric as the Good Looking Guy, so how can you not like it?

If you enjoyed this series when it was on TV then it is definately worth buying on DVD! Trust me, it's well worth it!

I was 12 years old when Boy Meets World premiered, and I grew up watching the show. In fact, it was the only show I watched throughout my teenage years, because it reflected the same things I was going through: learning life lessons in the classroom, pondering the discovery of someone to spend the rest of my life with, having an identity crisis, etc. There was a lot of depth and humor in the show, and the kids were just like me, doing their best to become good people. I think the writers deserve a lot of credit!

This is the type of show that deserves to be put on DVD for other generations to see. The story is clean and modest. It shows how important it is to have a strong family. It also show that family in all its troubles. As TV gets worse, shows like this become more and more important to save.

I can't express my feelings adequately about how I feel about Boy Meets World and Danielle Fishel.
I am so blown away that the best series ever to grace television is being released to DVD... WOW!

Let me tell you, this is a MUST HAVE for anybody who has to have their Boy Meets World / Danielle Fishel
fix!

6 stars out of 5!!!

Boy Meets World is definetely a very funny and touching show about an eleven year old boy who basically gets a reality check on life. I've loved this show ever since it came out and still love it today. For anyone who has never seen the show please take my word for it and buy it anyway. This show is filled with laughs and even better morals for any boy who thinks he wants to grow up so fast. The show is also filled with some of the best characters especially Mr. Feeney who basically helps Cory most of the time with their classic over the fence talks. But i also can't leave out Cory's parents who are also very great and entertaining to watch. There is also Cory's best friend Shawn. There is also Minkus and Topanga who are also great characters. There is virtually no flaws with he box set with great Special features which is the commentary on some of the best episodes.

My grandmother bought me this dvd set.I had never heard of this show before.She said I would like it,and boy was she right!This is a wonderful show that anyone can enjoy.It still comes on Disney Channel and ABC Family sometimes,but I reccomend this box set!I love the charector of Tapanga.
This dvd boxed set is for everyone!
