I feel that, although clunky, the Running Zack episode had its heart in a good place

There are certainly parts that could have handled better, but the fact that it tackled heavy subjects such as slavery and the treatment of native Americans is commendable. Zack makes a joke about this ancestry but him learning more about it and taking it more serious is a step in the right direction.

I also like the native American actor who did a really good job as Chief Henry, showing the contrast between Zack's over the top costume and how Henry lived with respect to the ancestry but also adapting to the times.

I feel that Henry dying was a bit much. Had they kept him alive, the last part of the episode would have been better.

Again it's clunky in places but I think it's cool they at least tried to handle these subjects in a teen sitcom. I can't recall many shows that did this.

Model Students remains one of the creepiest episode

You've got a creepy photographer who was alerted by a friend that printed the Girls of Bayside calendar to the presence of three underage girls that appeared on it. He then randomly enters the school. No appointment or anything and just walks into the principal's office, looking for these girls.

He then apparently gets permission to use a public school for a photo shoot and then picks one the underage girls to go to Paris with him for a month, deciding that the photo shoot at the school was that good that Kelly deserves to be on the anniversary issue of whatever magazine he works for. Also, they have to leave in two days. Together.

This whole episode gives me creepy vibes once the photographer walks in. The bits with the nerds are fun though. Also, Jesse is totally dressed like a total mom/business woman in her shoot.

I got this book yesterday and have to say it's pretty good

While it of course has a slight Disney bias, it has a lot of good stuff in it, from Sheperd drawings and sketches to work in progress stuff from the Disney features. It starts with talking about the original books and drawings, inspiration and characters to then discussing the Disney stuff. What I like is that it while the text contains stuff I mostly know already, it has a lot of neat pictures, like obscure non-Disney merchandise and info on the first printed Pooh books.

The page layout is good too, giving the pictures room to breathe while still having enough text to get a general overview of the characters and franchise

Anybody else pick this one up yet?

Experiences with the collection

I got it. It seems like a good collection. We've got all the manuals, sound tests, very good filters, although you can't have a pure black background. There are about 10 save slots per game. The FC games have rewind functionality.

I would have liked to see more art, like from promo's and merch and such, but as a collection it's fine.

One thing that could get annoying is that when you hit the emulator setting screen in game and return you get a Goemon voice sample before going back. I could see that getting old.

I played SFC Goemon 2 for a bit and it plays good with the filters on. (I am used to playing the cart on my Super NT) For some reason I had a lot of trouble with the stage in the second world where the oni are sawing the platforms you're standing on. Perhaps it was due to not using the bubble car.

I also played the Ebisumaru puzzle game, where you have to steer him in the right direction. That ones takes a bit of time to get used to the controls, since the grid in the game is diagonal. It's fun though and reminds me a bit of the Hampton minigame form Buster Busts Loose (another Konami game). Those CG-rendered sprites aged way worse than the 2D art from the other games though, lol.

Finally I played FC Goemon 1 and was actually surprised by how fun it is. Of course, it's a simple game but it has fun gameplay and good music. Took me a while to figure out you had to jump over objects to get stuff.

ATTENTION: Sam Eagle’s Official Guide to America 250 at Disneyland

Is it just me or does his Sam sound a bit different? To me it sounds a bit more Bert-like.

Also, could be me, but the America 250 thing mostly reminds me of your president. (Who's actually in Disneyland in animatronic form)

Screech/Zack fumbled at the Miss Bayside talent show

Instead of a magic act, Screech should have brought out Kevin and told everyone he build a friggin' sentient robot.

How would a BMW/GMW sequel look like if it was made today?

Will, Rider and Danielle would jump at it, but I feel Feeny wouldn't be featured much. I guess Ben wouldn't be part of it as well. I can see Trina return as well. The GMW girls would be MIA as well. Perhaps Maitland would guest starr.

I guess it would be a spin-off where the three go off on an adventure (and in Topanga's case, leave her kids behind?)

So wrestling fans, who was nurse Jennifer's wrestling husband?

She says Hogan said her husband could have the champion belt if it wasn't for his violent temper.

Would that be Randy Savage? Ultimate Warrior?

What are other ways the gang can continue the Boy Meets World hype?

Reviewing Girl meets World is the obvious one, so let's get that out the way.

  • They could produce a "The true Boy Meets World" story, a staged reenactment like those Saved by The Bell and Full House ones.
  • They could read/enact fanfictions on the podcast
  • They could review movies/shows with BMW cast members in it (Knightrider!)

You're Welcome (2026 version)

It basically sounds the same as the original, except a short extended bit after the rap. I am curious to see how that scene will look in live-action. I can't imagine his tattoos actually animating.

Danielle Fishel at the handprint ceremony for Planet Hollywood around 2008

Considering it was 2008, it showed the impact she made on Boy Meets World, which ended 8 (!) years earlier.

Strange to think she was closer to GMW, which would air 6 years later.

What is your favourite chapter from The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh?

It's a hard choice but to me it's the Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too segment. Tigger gets a heck of an introduction, we see him outsmart Rabbit and Rabbit and him bouncing at the end is genuinely warm moment.

What are everything things you do that give you that extra bit of Zackosity?

Let's be real. Screech was never as magnetic as when he had that Zackosity. He was the hottest hunk, as confirmed by Penny Belding. If someone as Screech can get such a boost from his Zackosity, imagine what it could do for us, the cool people of Reddit.

In Driver's Ed, how come Slater suddenly crashes the car?

At first I thought Zack tampered with it, but watching the episode the plan was clearly just to have Belding catch Slater just driving it. Now, in the episode Slater honestly does some very good driving in the small classroom, even with the traffic cones. There is no way he couldn't drive through the large hallways without randomly taking a right turn and bumping into the lockers.

Nicki Kapowski is one of the show's most awesome characters

She had swagger, went straight for her goals and called Zack out on his dumb nerd act. Too bad we didn't see her more.

I always felt they looked really good in BBS and seeing armors for Sora and Riku and Kairi could be really cool.

In kayfabe/character, Mickey and company live at Toontown. How does merchandise work in character though? Do the characters get a cut of their merhandise money when it's sold?

Just a fun thought experiment.

May be a strange question, but can you really "meet" William Daniels at his meet and greets/photo ops?

I get the feeling from videos that his hearing isn't that great anymore from and that meeting him is more or less just standing in front or beside him while his wife may say something.

What are experiences from those that met him?
