I have never watched any of Boy 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:03.480 Needs World. 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.360 I hadn't either hadn't, which we all discovered here and there, 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:06.679 but not. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.000 We did the live show and. 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.760 We all of us hadn't seen each other's shows, which 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.320 was hilarious, and then we had to like try and 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.680 invent who is this person? And we had were like, oh, yeah, yeah, 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.680 I just want a random stories are I love it. 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.240 I'd never watched it, and I also forgot it was 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:23.640 a TGIF show. 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.920 Well, because I think it was after Okay, so this 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.240 pilot aired in nineteen ninety three. It was kind of 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.840 wrapping up. We might have gone to Nicete Nights. We wrapped, No, 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.360 we wrapped in ninety five, but we were off TGIF 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:41.399 in ninety three, yes, because yes, it was ninety ninety 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.480 five is when we last shooting. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.240 There in ninety four, our last shot shooting. 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.920 Ok I got it, yes, but I think we were 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.280 on Tuesday Nights by nineteen ninety three, we were no 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.400 longer part of the TGIF. 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:53.920 Right, that's right, we got yeah. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.600 So yeah, okay, so I know this was not boy 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.240 Meld was not on my radar. Yah, we weren't shooting 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.120 on the same lot like there was not. They were 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:05.400 own Disney, right, I think they're on Disney, And yeah. 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:06.560 I think that's what it was. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.200 I thought because they were on the Disney lot, I 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.519 just thought, I mean, Disney and ABC are the same 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:11.600 thing or whatever. 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.120 But yeah, I guess I just didn't. I don't know. 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.200 I thought it was a Disney show, not necessarily an 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:18.280 ABC Disney show. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.320 Well, because it airs now on Disney Plus. And I 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.400 think Girl Meets World was a Disney it was a 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:22.840 Disney plus. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.880 Yeah, it was because ABC and Disney. I don't know 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:25.600 who owns who. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.720 Disney probably owns ABC because I think Disney owns everything 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:29.360 at this point. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.000 Yeah, all of the things. Yeah, so we were such. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.080 A cute pilot though. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.560 Oh my gosh, I told did you have expectations going 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:40.079 into it? 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:40.440 Did you? 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.000 Did you have high expectations, low expectations. 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.560 I mean I didn't really. I tried not to go 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.679 and do it with any expectations. You know. I knew 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.200 it was going to be a little bit different because 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:51.680 the kids. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.760 Were older, they were on our show, So I was like, Okay, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.120 it's gonna be like, there's gonna be a little more 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.640 like funny dialogue. It's it'll be a little more I 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.280 don't know, quick witted, I guess was kind of the thing. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.080 And I and and that totally lived up to expectation. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.480 It was much more like team you know, middle school queen, 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:13.520 team friendly. 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.880 They're no no babies, no babies, no, no, right, And 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.760 again it wasn't you know, this was about the kids, 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:25.240 not really the parents. So yeah, much more kid focused, 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.240 school focus. Yeah, and the family is just sort of 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.040 in the background. Yeah. I went into it was like 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.280 I sort of had mid expectations. I was like, this 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.560 is gonna be another sitcom, it's gonna be a ninety sitcom. 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.800 But I think the succeeded those expectations. I mean too, 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:41.680 it was a great pilot. 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:42.840 It was a great pilot. 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.920 Ben was hilarious all I mean, the Yeah rider was great, 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.080 like the will Oh my god, he was just such. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.040 You know, so funny. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.160 It's uh, it's and it's so fun to see everybody like, 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.160 you know, god, back when we were all babies. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.440 It was so fun seeing our friends as less child actors. 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:05.000 It's just hysterical. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.600 Did any actor really stand out for you in this pilot? 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:08.920 Oh? 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.560 I mean Ben, Ben really stood out for me. He 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.960 I mean, he has to. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.159 Carry this whole show, and he absolutely did it. And 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.320 he was funny and his timing was great and no, 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.640 he was. I mean I can absolutely see why they 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.520 cast him as a lead in that show because he 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.560 really he was great. 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:27.280 Really funny. 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.719 So that's a lot for an eleven year old to carry, Yes, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.960 and he did. I think he was in every scene too, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.480 Like I don't call any scenes that he wasn't in 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.240 so that's a huge load for anyone much less than 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:40.960 eleven year old. 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.760 So absolutely, but he really I really enjoyed the pilot. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.160 It was fun well, and I believe correct me if 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.640 I'm wrong, but I think that Boy Meets World was 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.920 written for Ben Savage because Fred had had such success 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.200 with Wonder Years, so they were like, we're gonna write 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.719 We're going to write this show for Ben Savage. Yeah, 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.920 is that right? Oh yeah, Matt Mattie says, that's it's correct, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.000 And it was deserved. He deserved it, like he absolutely 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.800 could carry his own Absolutely, Yeah, that was I was thinking, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.800 that's kind of risky to put in a you know, 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.240 put all of that on the Red, but they did 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.080 it with Wonder Years, with fresh Yeah, that's true. Those 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:22.360 savages many Yeah, really knew. They knew how to act, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.440 that's for sure. So what would you rate this episode 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.039 on a scale of one to ten? 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.120 Oh, I mean, I'd say as far as pilot goes, 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:32.200 it was like a seven. 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.280 It was a good It was a really good pilot. Yeah. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.000 I definitely think that they'll find their their even better groove. 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.440 But I thought for a pilot it was funny. The 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.520 characters were really good. It was well written. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:47.360 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would agree with that. If if 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.839 we're using the Full House Pilot as our barometer, and 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.280 I give that a ten. Right, so we're judging all 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.000 other pilots based on Full House up against the Full 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.000 House Pilot, I would give this an eight. Yeah. 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.680 Actually I don't, Sally, we're judging it up against Full House? 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.840 It in eight? Yeah, yeah suh, because it was right. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.320 It was right up there, right up there. Wasn't perfect 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.839 by any means, but I really enjoyed it. I did 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:13.280 really enjoyed it. Okay, So do we get into some 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.280 do we want to talk about these fun facts? Do 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:16.599 we want to just get into. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:17.839 This show we kind of covered. 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.880 The show premiered on ABC September twenty fourth, nineteen ninety three, 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.520 at eight thirty pm, and it was following Family Matters 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.279 and before Step by Step, so it was kind of 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.719 sandwiched in there with them, okay, And it debuted is 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.920 sixteen and a half million viewers. Wow is in which 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.440 is probably for them like great ratings. But now you're 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.920 like sixteen million people to watch one show. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.880 You get it's you. You don't get that kind of 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.360 those kind of eyeballs all in one. 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.120 Spot really as well, you don't know, especially with Streamy 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.400 and everybody watches things on their own schedule. So sixteen million, Yeah, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.120 that's hugely impressive, very impressive. 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:55.320 And that's funny. 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.599 Although and it says, although Sean is in every episode 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.520 and Corey's always talking to him, no one's speaks his 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.920 name until season one, episode. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.080 Four, Corey's Alternative. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.400 Friends, when mister Feenie calls him mister Hunter. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:08.120 Huh. 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.920 Later in the episode, Corey calls him Sean, thus revealing 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.960 his name, which had somehow gone unspoken to this point. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.040 I wonder if they hadn't named like, did he have 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.680 a name? And in the script the script, so was 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.840 it Seand it was they just did he was? 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:23.440 They just didn't. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.840 He just didn't like they didn't call it out in 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.000 the Yeah, he wasn't like, hey Sean, what's up? 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:28.840 Yeah, it didn't. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.560 Interesting the things you don't think of. That would have 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.520 been an easy way just to write in have you 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.400 been savage, say hey Sean or whatever. So, okay, that 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.800 is pretty funny. So the synopsis of this pilot, just 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:46.160 very briefly, Corey is caught listening to the Phillies game 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.440 in class while Feenie is trying to teach the class 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.000 about love. Eric decides to take his girlfriend on their 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.000 first date to the Phillies game instead of Corey. So 0:07:56.080 --> 0:08:01.679 Corey decides to live in his treehouse. All right, good, 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:06.960 get much better than the bathroom. And they're just we're 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.560 not going to go through the scene by scene. We're 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.120 not gonna We're not gonna put you guys through this, 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.600 but we will talk about some of the best moments, 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.280 some key moments of this pilot. We'd begin in the 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:20.040 cafeteria of Corey's school where he has a little run 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.880 in with his teacher, mister Feenie. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.040 I was going to say, also, mister Feenie really stands out. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.960 I mean, oh, Daniels is so great and just is 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:34.600 the perfect mister Feenie. I absolutely see why he was 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.199 like so popular and white people still absolutely love see 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:39.839 him because, yeah, he had there was a heart to 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.199 him that it was really great. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.720 He was a legend. He's a legend. You know, he 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.200 won Emmys, he was on Saint Elsewhere, he was the 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:50.000 night writer. Yeah, ye, so yeah, he was great. But 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.520 my unpopular opinion is that I thought he was terrifying 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.760 and unlikable in this episode, right, I just thought I 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.400 was scared so sorry, timidating ismoy very. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.000 Yeah, he's very, very harsh, but I think there's the 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.000 payoff is worth it. 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.880 They he's definitely invested in these kids, because otherwise he 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.560 wouldn't take the time to teach Corey that lesson at 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.559 the end about love. But he's just he seems like 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.840 he shouldn't be working with children like. He just seems 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.079 very I. 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.440 Mean, I've met a lot of teachers. They don't like kids. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.800 Well kidding this. 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:29.679 Forever. 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.720 That's justified, honestly, middle school. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.839 Is he's been dealing with like eleven and twelve year 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:44.880 old idiots for decades, So thatsgruntled. 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:48.280 So disgruntled. No, he's just a very distinguished character. He 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.360 seemed a little up like up uppity up. Yeah he is. 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.920 That's I think that's all that the character is written. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.040 Okay, Okay. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.360 I just think he's supposed to be mister like super likable. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:04.600 I think he's kind of he's Corey's uh not well 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.319 nemesis a little bit.

And yeah Bill Daniels, wooh, 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.800 he was great. He knocked that out of the park. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:02.120 Uh. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:06.440 And they're working on Romeo and Juliet in this okay 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.560 stabbing the other one with a fake knife, which I'm 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:15.200 pretty sure these days you wouldn't be allowed at school. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.280 No the night like someone is pretending to kill another 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.240 with the with the knife.

I 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.480 don't know if I agree with that, but it's a 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:16.800 good setup. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:22.880 For of course, what is Corey. Corey says, he's like, 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.199 he sees the play as a kid who kills himself 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:26.280 over some dumb girl. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.920 And I'm kind of like, I mean, it's true, he's 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:30.400 not wrong. 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.160 He's wrong, wrong, Yeah, but I get it. Phoene is like, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:34.080 now it's more than that. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.320 So it's a it's a feme of the episode, so 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:41.160 we will run with it. So Phoene fires back, he 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:46.240 gives him detention on Friday, and that's it sets up nicely, 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.520 this little this this rift between yeah Feenie and. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.880 Mister Mister Feenie is like the tough. 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.680 Six screen teacher.

But she was the teacher like you'd 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.400 hear her out in the hallway because the sixth graders 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:05.640 were acting up, you know what I mean. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:06.600 Like she was messing around. 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.840 She did not mess around, but everybody respected her hardcore, 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.800 but she was not there to play. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.640 That's kind of how you have to be in middle school. Yeah, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.280 sixth graders, let's take advantage of you if you're nice. 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:18.480 So yeah, but. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.800 Still I remember her as a like great teacher that 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.959 I really loved, kind of like you know, mister Venie. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:23.959 Yeah all right. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:24.920 Play. 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.280 So next with the Matthews house and we're in the 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.600 boys bedroom and Eric.

Do we 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.720 think he's If Ben is eleven. 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.640 I'd say he's probably sixty sixteen. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:48.280 Yeah, maybe he can drive to the date, so sixteen, Yeah, 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.880 that's pretty common for six Yeah, he's gonna choose. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.640 The girl anyway, bro. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.240 Sorry, yeah right, I feel bad.

I just talked about it. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.880 There would be a loophole, there's some sort of technicality 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:06.920 that you're going to get off one. Uh okay. So 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.080 next in the living room we meet the rest of 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:14.240 the family. Amy the mom, Alan the dad, and Morgan 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:15.600 is the little sister. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.080 Yeah, very cute. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.840 I love I loved these parents, these these sitcom parents, 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.920 they just seemed very calm, had calm energy. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.520 Yeas is great, Betsy Randall really great. 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.000 Yeah, oh my god, ton of stuff. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.120 I was just like, I want you guys as parents. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.880 They're just you can tell they love their kids, but 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.960 they're not afraid to punish them, and they are just 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.080 like the sweetest, very calm energy. Compared to the Tanner 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:43.800 House where you got like three nutcases. Was this is 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.480 a nice, calm home where you want to go and 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:51.160 decompress and relax. I like that. Uh so. Amy immediately 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:55.600 mentions that Peene told her about the Ben Savage's upcoming 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.360 to tension, and Corey winds about the fact that they 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.120 live next to Foenie. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:05.360 He's their next door neighbor. Thing Yeah, it's just built 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:06.000 in conflict. 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.760 What are the odds that the teachers living right next door, Like, 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:10.160 come on. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.920 I mean, I've heard that happened to like cousins and 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.520 stuff that live in like Iowa somewhere that's not you know, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.680 l a necessarily And they're like, oh, yeah, they live 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:19.720 down the street from their teacher. 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.920 Is this common in Philadelphia? I would think it's in Philadelphia. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.800 Seems like a pretty big city, right, But they're probably 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.600 in the suburbs. Yeah, you know, you local neighborhood school. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.120 They I don't know, I don't know. I don't know 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.080 what's going on with these people. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.760 It just seems a little too convenient. But again, this 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.480 is six so of course they're going to set it 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.000 up like this for convenience, right, so they can have conflict. 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:43.800 At least their backyard doesn't change. 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:45.240 Yeah, that's true. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:45.720 It's true. 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.240 Their backyard is very different. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.440 Yet I'm gonna wait, hold that judgment. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.200 So Amy tells her husband that Corey got detention because 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.600 he didn't want to learn about the emotional content of 0:16:58.680 --> 0:16:59.760 Romeo and Juliet. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.560 But I mean to argue he got detention because he 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.399 was listening to the Phillies game in class. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:06.560 Oh yeah, that's true. 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.760 I mean, like, if you say what, you got detention 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:09.080 for it. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.000 It's not the emotional content, but that's the story broke. 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.320 He broke the broke a rule. 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.040 Yeah, yeah, you can't listen to the Phillies game. But 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:16.679 it's the thing. 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:21.080 Yet it's an excellent setup for this next joke, exactly 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.960 where Ben Savage says, I'm a kid, I don't understand 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:28.320 the emotional content of full House. I screamed yes, like, 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.479 oh my god, we made it. Yes, we made it 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:36.359 into the pilot. Yes, boy meets the World fantastic. And 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.600 then Corey tries to turn things back to Eric, back 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.320 on to Eric, but his parents don't take his side. 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.840 Eric bought the tickets with his own money, Okay, so 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.000 he can bring whoever he'd like. All right, okay, I'll 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.720 give it to Eric this time. But I do think 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.439 it's felt bad for Ben Savage. You know, you just 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.600 want to go to this game with his brother, so 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.359 it will. At school the next day, Corey tells his 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.879 friends that he's now an orphan, and he decides that 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.280 he and his friends can just go to the baseball 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.800 game together. But there's this little matter of his detention, 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.280 Corey walks over to Feenie to try and sweet talk him, 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.359 but Feoenie has no interest in seeing him. During his 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.920 lunch break, however, we do see that Feenie has saved 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.280 a seat at his lunch table for a mystery woman. Now, 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.199 why don't they have like a teacher's lounge. Why is 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.359 Phoenie eating in the cafeteria where the kids are just 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:29.880 like adjacent to. 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.480 Him, Because it would be really hard to have a 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.200 scene where you see through a wall to what the. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:38.400 Teachers are doing. That's really why. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.439 Yeah, I get it. It's it's just again again. 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:43.800 It's a small school. 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.360 Okay, again, suburbia. They don't have money for teachers lounges. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.080 There's no money for the teacher's lounge. Right, He's got 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.600 to just eat with all the other kids. 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.480 All the kids got to live next door to one 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:54.920
