Rider Robust says Boy Meets World dropped the ball on one other critical episode of the present wherein Shawn abuses alcohol.
Tonight, on a really particular episode of Boy Meets World, Shawn will get crunk…Boy Meets World, like many sitcoms (particularly of the Disney-backed TGIF selection), had its share of episodes that took on critical points, hitting on all the pieces from little one abuse to teenage intercourse to cults. However one episode that also sticks with Rider Robust is “If You Can’t Be With the One You Love”, which targeted on Shawn Hunter creating an alcohol dependency, one thing he doesn’t assume the present dealt with properly in any respect.
As Rider Robust remembered of the season 5 episode of Pod Meets World (the Boy Meets World rewatch podcast he co-hosts), Shawn was seeing “having an excellent time with Cory and doing handstands and peeing on cop automobiles and simply, like, woohoo, enjoyable loving. After which in that second half, it’s as if he’s a 45-year-old alcoholic who’s like, ‘I can’t cease, however I gotta hold doing this.’ I don’t assume that’s practical.” He added, “The true downside that I see is it’s truly a disservice to folks. The true problem with consuming is that usually it’s sneakier, it’s weirder, it’s slower. It slowly takes over folks’s lives…to condense it’s to oversimplify the difficulty in a means. The counterargument I’m making in my very own head is that it’s for kids. And for kids, you simply wanna see that consuming is dangerous. Steer clear of it for so long as you possibly can. Do it whenever you’re older.”
The episode discovered Shawn turning into so belligerent that at one level he shoves his girlfriend Angela (Trina McGee), in one of many greatest slights to her character as a result of, as co-host Danielle Fishel famous, Shawn received to maintain her as his girlfriend with out going through that set of penalties.
Total, Rider Robust insists that these behind the scenes of Boy Meets World dropped the ball on that episode, saying that by making an attempt to interrupt down that type of story into one block of your Friday night time did no justice to the seriousness of the subject. He, too, felt the identical means about “Promenade-ises, Promenade-ises”, the once-banned episode that he mentioned mishandled the subject of intercourse and contraception.
