Boy Meets Worldwas not based on a comic book, and it certainly didn’t involve any superheroes.
It wasn’t until the second or third runs that people started to talk about us.

“We had the feeling we were doing the show for our grandparents,” Fishel added.
Here are five other things we learned from the convention’sBoy Meets Worldanniversary panel.
“After finishing a show like that, you’re burnt out.
A lot of times, the answer is no, and you go through one of those career lulls.
I was going to get my master’s degree and thenGirl Meets Worldcame along.
It can be hard.”

It was harder for Friedle than most.
“What brought me to voice-over was anxiety,” Friedle explained.
I was so thankful I had voice-over because I could still perform and act.
Lately I’ve pulled out of that because ofGirl Meets World.
[Creator] Michael [Jacobs] was like, ‘Come back if you want to come back.’
So I’ve been slowly starting that again, and it’s been fun.
Now we’re getting back on track.
Danielle and I are maybe doing something in the future.

“We developed an on-camera show that we are shopping currently,” Fishel added.
“So the stories were different.

“They took me up on it!
We put those lessons we had learned into effect.
A lot of times you learn something but never get the chance to help someone else with that information.
We were given that opportunity to help them.”
Very few plots revolved around Friedle’s character, Eric Matthews.
“Occasionally there was a touching thing with Eric,” Friedle said.
Like, sometimes people tell me they love the episode with Tommy.
Yeah, Ben was taking a test.”
“Great, so Eric gets an episode!”
“I just read the lines and make a run at make people laugh.
But I like craft services!
The Fiber One story then became a running joke for the rest of the panel.
For her own response to the question, Fishel said, “I’m Topanga.
I’m never wrong.”
“Like, ‘wait, wait no!
One more take!’
I’ll always remember that moment.
It was like someone was closing the door on our childhood but in a good way!
It definitely left an impact.”
That morning I also recorded the last episode ofBatman Beyond.
I finished two shows on the same Thursday.
That was one hell of a Thursday!”
