My cultural translator tells me that as “The Brady Bunch” was to my generation and “Saved by the Bell” was to the generation that immediately followed, so was “Boy Meets World” to the generation or half-generation after that, which explains all the excitement that immediately surrounded Disney Channel’s plans to spin the latter series into “Girl Meets World.”
Imagine if Greg and Marcia had gotten married become co-parents through entirely moral means. That’d beat “The Brady Brides” with all its unnecessary spouses any day.
So was it a big deal that Cory and Topanga were at Dodger Stadium tonight? To those who form our nation’s future, I have no trouble believing that it was.
