- The fish in the fish tank don't move at all- they're fake. I think it's the old fish tank from Turner's apartment.
- *You may have noticed that the sofa in the boys' apartment changed halfway through the fifth season. I read that the set designers asked the cast members to help redecorate and Matt Lawrence and Will Friedle really liked the red couch from the old set, so they put it in the apartment. According to Will- "Matt Lawrence and I said, 'We like the couch. Keep the couch- it's comfortable.'" I noticed that the red couch was also in the fourth season finale ("Learning To Fly"). Eric and his friend Julie sit on it.
- *The refrigerator smells like mothballs.
- *The freezer in the boys' apartment has all kinds of stuff in it. "We put our cereal with our ice cream," Will admits. The ice cream containers don't really have ice cream inside- just extra magnets for the fridge.
- *There's a mirror right in front of the stairs. Will said that the set designers actually took it down since he always stops to check himself out, but he had them put it back up since it's so perfect for his character.
- The stools at the kitchen table are the same stools that are at the counter in Chubby's.
- *The plates in the apartment are the same plates Will eats off of at home. "You want to know something really scary? These are the same plates I have at home. Total coincidence," says Will.
- There's a long wooden sign above the window to the balcony that reads "Headquarters." Above the door upstairs on the right hangs a sign that reads "Parts Dept." (At least, I think it says "Parts Dept.")
Goofs
In the opening sequence for the fourth season, it shows Cory leave the door open when he runs out of the house. But in the next frame when he's outside getting into the car, the door is closed.
"Rave On"
When Cory is on the stage talking, there is a tall man dressed in orange at the front of the crowd. Later on, when Frankie says "Everybody in," the orange guy is just one of the many people who run inside, even through he had been inside just moments before.
"And Then There Was Shawn"
There are quite a few mistakes conserning the placement of different objects in the hallway. In the senior hall, there is usually a turquoise sofa along the wall next to the lockers. In the begining of this episode it's visible from the window on Feeny's door. After Kenny is killed and everyone runs out into the hall, it is no longer there and has been replaced by a trophy case. After everyone but Shawn runs through the halls, the trophy case disappears and vending machines are in it's place.
It's obvious that Cory, Topanga, Angela, Jack, and Eric keep running across the same hall, just with different props behind them each time. When everyone first escapes from Feeny's room, look at the end of the hall- all that's there is a window with the blinds drawn. After they're done running, the trophy case is placed in front of the window.
When everyone is first in the hall, there is nothing along the wall by Feeny's door. But watch when Shawn stands over Feeny's lifeless body and says "I was wrong." A statue of John Adams (a prop which you may remember from the old set) is next to the door.
Odds and Ends- Misc Facts
- Cory's middle name starts wil "A."
- Both Eric and Cory have flat feet. (Cory said he had flat feet in the episode "The Last Tempataion Of Cory," and Eric said flat feet was the reason the Army wouldn't take him in "No Guts, No Cory.")
- Cory came up with the band name "The Exits" by looking at signs in the hallway. The first two signs he looked at said "Blood Drive" and "Sex Ed."
- Eli Williams used to work on the local show "Philadelphia Tonight."
- Coffee in the teachers' lounge at John Adams High School costs 75 cents.
- The majority of Shawn's outfits have usually consisted of boots, baggy pants, and an unbuttoned long-sleeved shirt worn over a T-shirt.
- It seems as though every single girl that Eric and Jack meet lives in apartment 3B. I mean, there's gotta be about twenty women living there, man!
- Will Estes has had quick guest starring roles in two episodes. One of them was "Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow." I can't remember the other.
- These next few facts are silly sayings from the show, just bare with me here... The expression- "[gasp] Topanga!" has been used twice. It was first said in the fourth season episode "An Affair To Forget." Cory says it when he discovers that Topanga told Shawn's girlfriend that he and Shawn were meeting at Chubby's. Then Eric and Jack say it in the fifth season episode "No Guts, No Cory" when Topanga stops Cory from marring a French waitress.
- Someone has pointed to their mouth and yelled out "Taco!" in two different episodes. Cory first did it in the episode "Shallow Boy" when Topanga keeps lecturing him about having kids and all he wants to do is go eat some tacos. It also happened in "The Eskimo" from the fifth season, when Eric, Jack, and their dates -Jill and Carol- are deciding on what to do for the evening. Jack and Jill want to go to a fancy restaurant, Eric and Carol point to their mouths and say "Taco!" in response.
- I wanna know where Eric got the car he drives in the opening sequence for the fourth season. As I recall, his car is actually pretty crappy (it's in the fourth season premire, "You Can Go Home Again"). So where is this car from? My guess is that Eric, Topanga, and Shawn stole it, picked up Cory, and then went for a quick ride in the country. ...heehee...
- Nobody wears seatbelts in the fourth season intro. At one point or another, Shawn, Topanga, and Cory are sitting on the very top of the seats. Come on, safety first, guys!
- Jack, Shawn, and Eric sure have a nice apartment. Especially considering the fact that Jack and Eric are just college boys and Shawn is in high school. I'm sure Alan, Amy, and Jack's rich parents help pay for it..
- After the first season, Cory never again mentions the idea of becoming a baseball player.
- All through the first to fourth season, Eric and Cory's beds switch back and fourth. (What I mean is that in the first season, Cory slept in the bed on the left, but in the third and fourth seasons, he slept on the right bed, the bed closest to the door.)
- Alan used to belong to a band called "The Tounges."
- The senior hall at John Adams High had a sofa and coffee pot.
Lily Nicklay was the little actress who played Morgan in the first two seaons. (wasn't she cute?) She has since been in movies such as Up Close and Personal and The Negotiator.
In the episode where baby Joshua is born, when Topanga puts lipstick all over her face, Shawn says "Use a mirror, babe," the exact same line he said to her when she did it in the very first season.
- When the baby Matthews boy was born, he weighed 5 pounds.
