I'm the king of idiots for waiting so long to see this show

Warning: Spoilers
Mr. Feeny is teaching the class about the importance of love and affection with his class reenacting Romeo & Juliet. Cory doesn't grasp the concept of love, especially since he's 11 years old. He thinks girls are pointless and has no interest in them. Cory gets admonished by Mr. Feeny for listening to the Phillies game in class, while Feeny is talking about love. To make matters worse, Cory feels betrayed by his older brother Eric, because Eric wants to replace Cory with a date instead. Cory doesn't take too kindly to this, so he moves out, into the tree house. Cory learns some valuable lessons about love, respect, and loyalty.

I'll be honest. Up until a few days ago, I hadn't seen one episode of this show. I don't know if it's because everyone else raved about it, and the hype was too high for me, or something else, but I never watched this show when it was airing weekly or during its syndicated run. My knowledge of the characters isn't great, nor is my background on this show. I simply came across it on T.V a few days ago. I really enjoyed the characters, the humor, and the overall feeling the show gave me. It seemed to be right up my alley, and something that I could get easily addicted too. After enjoying a few episodes, I decided to start right from the beginning. I was so idiotic for waiting so long to watch this show. This show was made for me. Ben Savage is great as Corey. He's the perfect lead for this show. He's charismatic, funny, and hilariously sneaky with a good heart. Mr. Feeny is amazing as well as the grumpy teacher with a heart. Danielle Fishel had yet to show up as Topanga (Cory's girlfriend) Chauncey Leopardi (Nicholas) would be subsequently replaced after this episode, while Rider Strong would become a big fixture. Even Cory's parents make me smile. They are parents everyone dreams about having. This show has a great message about how tough it is to grow up, and when you grow up, you're priorities veer into other directions. When you're a kid, you don't pay much attention to love or things like that. The ending was amazingly well done. If you don't smile like an idiot throughout this pilot, something is wrong with you. If you made the mistake that I did, don't wait any longer. This show has something for everyone. It's safe to say I'm in love with this show. Funnily enough, Cory's dislike for women would change heavily in the years to come. He ends up marrying Topanga
