Plot Hole #2: In Season 1, Episode 4 "Cory's Alternative Friends" Shawn borrows hair straightener from his sister Stacy so that Cory can straighten his hair. Shawn even talks to his sister Stacy on the phone. However, after this episode his sister Stacy is never mentioned again. Whatever happened to Shawn having a sister?
Plot Hole #3: In Season 7, Episode 19 "Brotherly Shove" Eric and Cory are supposed to clean out the garage together. They set out to have a yard sale, but Cory decides to have the yard sale with Shawn and Topanga and leaves Eric out. Eric is angry because he feels that Cory has left him out of his life for years.
Why it makes no sense: Eric claims that Cory shut him out of his life "a long time ago". This makes no sense as there are multiple episodes during the show's 7 season run where Cory wanted to hang out with Eric, but Eric shut Cory out. In Season 2, Episode 38 Eric chooses Shawn over Cory for a double date. Eric throughout much of the show's history was always telling Cory not to talk to him, get lost, do not make further attempts to contact me, but then later on in the series suddenly Eric blamed Cory saying Cory shut Eric out of his life. This makes no sense continuity wise.
Plot Hole #4: In the early seasons of Boy Meets World, older brother Eric was a popular intelligent prep who only got bad grades because he spent all of his time chasing girls even though he was actually pretty smart. However, during the college years Eric went from intelligent slacker to complete and total idiot. In one episode during the college years, Eric literally couldn't understand the difference between a can and a jar (he tried to open a can by twisting it). How did Eric go from an intelligent young man to almost borderline mentally challenged? The sudden shift from smart underachiever to stupid moron was never explained, and continuity wise made no sense.
Plot Hole #5: How was Mr. Feeny both Principal and Teacher at the same time?
Plot Hole #6: During the college years, how did all of the gang attend Mr.Feeny's class? Did they all study the same major? How was Eric and Jack attending Mr.Feeny's college class with Cory when they started college before Cory? How did the kids all graduate college at the same time despite Eric being older than Cory and starting college before Cory?
What doesn't make sense: Does anyone else find it creepy and weird that an approximately 60 year old man literally followed 3 children from the 5th Grade all the way through College and went out of his way to interject himself into their lives? If any teacher went to the lengths that Feeny did in real life to follow 3 kids he'd be labeled a creepy pervert. Think about it. He was their principal, teacher, professor, neighbor, and babysitter. Like I said, in real life that teacher would labeled a pervert.
Interesting Note: The gang goes to school at John Adams High in Philadelphia. According to a 2000 Census (the only census taken during the show's run), the population of Philadelphia was 45% white and 43% black, 8% hispanic, and 4% asian. This means that at the time there was just as many blacks as there were whites. However, John Adams High with the exception of 2 characters (Angela, Mr. Williams) is a nearly all white school in a city where whites are heavily outnumbered by minorities. Based on actual demographics, the lack of overall diversity at John Adams High really makes no sense. I always found this to be funny. Am I saying that the main characters should have been mostly black or other minorities? NO. Am I saying the show was racist? NO, the show was NOT racist. All I'm saying is that if this show were a true reflection of the city of Philadelphia then over half the kids roaming the halls in the background at John Adams High would've been black, hispanic, and asian because minorities combined far outnumber whites in Philadelphia.
