Boy Meets World’s Ben Savage wants to perform in a reunion

Ben Savage has expressed his desire to perform in a reunion of the hit ABC sitcom Boy Meets World.

The 40-year-old actor recently spoke to Us Weekly and told the media outlet that he would be more than happy to reprise his role as Cory Matthews, whom he played for the show’s entire run.

The performer also noted that various members of the series’ cast have had discussions about a potential reunion over the past few decades and expressed that many of them would be interested in producing a special episode.

‘I think that if the right project came along at the right time, and everyone was on board, I think it’d be a lot of fun. I think it’s a really nice group of people, and they’re a very talented group,’ he said.

Savage also expressed that Boy Meets World’s cast was well put together and surmised that they would share the same chemistry on a potential continuation project.

‘I think it was just a funny, talented group, and I think they worked really well together. And I think it’d be fun if we explored that in the future, of course,’ he stated.

The actor went on to note that many of the show’s actors were also featured in its follow-up series, Girl Meets World, which ran on Disney Channel from 2014 to 2017.

Savage then spoke about the impact he felt that the show made on its viewers and remarked that, although Boy Meets World may have been seen differently in modern times, he was confident that its timeless quality would still resonate.

He said, ‘I think it explored a lot of important themes that young kids deal with. I mean, it’s obviously a different world, and technologies changed, but I think it was a fun show about a really average kid.’

The performer also reflected on his experience working on the program and told the media outlet about a specific location on set that holds sentimental value for him.

‘There’s a street there called New York Street … and if they ever need to film a New York scene, that’s where they go. I love that because we had such a good time there,’ he recalled.

Savage concluded by talking about his favorite parts of the sitcom and expressed that the crew’s first efforts were among his most beloved.

‘I like the early seasons as well. We’re talking early years…They all have a special place for me,’ he said.

Boy Meets World first premiered in 1993 and ran for seven seasons, with its final set of episodes airing in 2000.

The show was centered on Cory Matthews, an average sixth-grader who navigates the pitfalls of his life from his middle school days until his graduation from college.

After the series’ end, many of the cast members reprised their role in Girl Meets World, which followed Matthews’ daughter Riley, played by Rowan Blanchard, as she moved through her adolescence.

The series ran for a total of three seasons, and its final episode aired in 2017.

Series co-creator Michael Kelly was displeased with the show’s cancellation and attempted to find a network for a potential fourth season, although none expressed interest in the prospect.
