Trivia
- The high school the main cast of Boy Meets World attended was named after John Quincy Adams' father, John Adams.
- William Daniels, who played Feeny, Cory's teacher and mentor on Boy Meets World became well know early in his career for playing John Adams in 1776 on Broadway and also in the film version. Appropriate that he taught at John Adams and his "son" after a fashion teaches at John Quincy Adams. Further, in 1776, it was John Adams who emphatically pushed "the Eagle" as our nation's symbol and it is an Eagle that is the logo for John Quincy Adams school.
- Not seen in episodes Girl Meets Brother, Girl Meets Home for the Holidays, and Girl Meets Master Plan during season 1, as well as the Special, Girl Meets Demolition, and Girl Meets World: Of Terror 2 and Girl Meets Texas (Part 2) in season 2.
