"I think we'll make sure we have Boy Meets World reunions"
About this Quote
Rider Strong’s line carries a promise of stewardship as much as nostalgia. “We’ll make sure” signals agency and responsibility, an assurance that the cast and creators won’t leave the legacy of Boy Meets World to chance or sporadic network specials. It reads as a commitment to curate ongoing moments of reconnection, to tend the relationship between the show, its actors, and the generations of viewers who grew up with it.
The plural “reunions” matters. Rather than a singular, highly produced event, it implies a rhythm: periodic check-ins that acknowledge how memory, fandom, and the cast’s own lives evolve. These gatherings can take many forms, live convention panels, social media exchanges, podcast conversations, or surprise collaborations, each offering a different lens on the series’ themes of growing up, friendship, and moral curiosity. In a media landscape saturated with reboots, the emphasis on reunions suggests a lighter touch: revive the community without necessarily remaking the text. It preserves the original’s integrity while allowing reflection, critique, and fresh context.
Strong’s wording also gestures toward the real bonds among the actors and their shared authorship of the show’s afterlife. Reunions aren’t merely content; they’re rituals of gratitude and continuity, honoring the people who made the series and those who were shaped by it. For fans, they function like class gatherings, keeping the narrative of adolescence alive even as everyone moves further from it. For the cast, they offer space to revisit early-career work with adult insight, to correct what didn’t age well, and to celebrate what still resonates.
Culturally, the pledge recognizes nostalgia as a living practice rather than a static feeling. It’s an invitation to keep the conversation going, to let the show’s lessons echo in new stages of life. The future of Boy Meets World, then, isn’t a single spectacle but an ongoing pact to remember together.
