Boy Meets World

This is the best show ever. Yes. But I just watched an episode that made me so angry...

Cory and Topanga were stuck in a "rut"... also known as... viewers didn't respond to it the way the network wanted.

But anyway, Cory agrees to go to a dance with Shawn and someone calls him Shawn and he doesn't say anything. So he dances and flirts with all these girls and doesn't mention until Shawn has him look for this french girl that he feel uncomfortable doing this with a girlfriend.

But BEHOLD! He sees the french girl grab a guys hand to dance and she turns and it's Topanga! She was there pretending to be a french student and dancing with guys and being ogled over.

Call me old fashioned... but this is so wrong. Yeah they end up breaking up which is good... but still, they were both kind of cheating. I mean yeah they weren't making out with someone but they were actively pursuing people they find attractive to dance with at a party and be close to.. I think that's cheating. I'm sad my favorite show acted like it wasn't a big deal.

It's 7:15 am and I haven't slept yet. Schmer. I'm not even tired. All nighter? Probably going to just get up soon.

But basically I wanted to say... romance and relationships shouldn't be games. It should be serious and important. It should be a priority. It should be trusting. Why is the media *not just Boy Meets World from the 90s* promoting otherwise?
