Boy Meets World continuity issues

And I thought I was just getting confused. Thanks, Wikipedia!

The series features many continuity errors, including:

  • In season one, Cory, Shawn and Topanga are in sixth grade and Eric is in tenth grade. Cory, Shawn and Topanga are able to graduate by season five (when they should be in tenth grade). Eric, however, graduates during season three, when he should graduate.
Season Cory, Shawn, Topanga Eric
1 Grade 6 Grade 10
2 Grade 7 Grade 11
3 Grades 8-10 Grade 12
4 Grade 11 Year Off
5 Grade 12 1st Year of College
6 1st Year of College 2nd Year of College
7 2nd-3rd Years of College 3rd-4th Year of College
  • Shawn has a sister in the first season, Staci, and a half-brother, Eddie, in the third season, but later it is stated that Jack is his only sibling.
  • Topanga has a sister, Nebula, during the first season, but later refers to herself as an only child.
  • Topanga’s mother’s name is Chloe at the beginning of the series, but Rhiannon at the end of the series.
  • The age that Cory and Topanga were when they first met (everywhere from birth to age six) and how they met (parents were friends to meeting at a playground when Cory couldn’t get off of the monkey bars) changes each time the issue is discussed.

I have been watching *a lot* of Alton Brown recently, so you’ll have to excuse any culinary big-headedness. Just excited about being able to make up my own recipes is all. =D

I’m making this right now, and I needed to get myself out of the kitchen because I’m waiting for the pasta to cook and the sauce is done and *delicious* and it’s all I can do to keep from gulping it down like a little piggy.

Ingredients

  • 12-16 oz whole wheat medium-sized pasta (like rotini), cooked al dente
  • 1/3 cup margarine or oil
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 cups rice milk
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • cayenne pepper, to taste
  • kosher salt, to taste (three pinches or so)
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast, plus some for topping
  • good quality extra-virgin olive oil

If you have a dutch oven or any other oven-safe pot that will hold the dish, it’s nice to use that to build the sauce, then pour in the pasta and bake it all without dirtying an extra dish. If you don’t though, a casserole dish does just fine.

Preheat oven to 325°. Over medium-high heat, melt margarine (or oil) and add flour when hot. Stir to get rid of any lumps, and cook until the mixture has slightly deepened in flavor and smells nutty, stirring occasionally. In the meantime, dissolve miso paste in hot water and set aside.

Add rice milk in installments, whisking constantly. Stir in water/miso mixture, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt. Lower heat to medium-low and cover until thickened and boiling, stirring occasionally. Stir in nutritional yeast and add pasta. Pour into casserole dish if you need to.

Top with a tablespoon or so of nutritional yeast and a good drizzle of olive oil. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before eating or you’ll burn your tongue off.

Who else adores the new Discovery commercial? I particularly like the part where Adam deliberately lights Jamie’s sleeve on fire.
