===Writing and filming===
During the writing of the pilot, network executives removed the episode's references to [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]], considering these elements as too mature for the audience. The episode was poorly received at the table read, and Jacobs re-wrote the pilot overnight.<ref name="uproxx"/><ref name="teachers"/> Part of the rewrite was to ensure that Mr. Feeny was portrayed in a way that was respectful of teachers and did not make fun of them, at Daniels' request.<ref name="teachers"/> Strong later commented on the difficult atmosphere of filming on-set, which he described as a "damaging" environment that was cultivated by Jacobs, who had high expectations of the cast.<ref name="paradedifficult"/><ref name="insiderdamaging">{{cite web|url=https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-rider-strong-recalls-damaging-atmosphere-on-set-2022-7|title=Rider Strong recalls 'damaging' atmosphere on ''Boy Meets World'' set|last=Mazzeo |first=Esme |work=[[Insider Inc.#Insider|Insider]]|publisher=[[Axel Springer SE]]|date=July 22, 2022|access-date=July 24, 2022}}</ref> Director [[David Trainer]] stated that Jacobs used "emotional manipulation" on the younger cast.<ref name="paradedifficult"/>

The chemistry between Savage and Fishel led to producers developing a romantic relationship between Cory and Topanga. Jacobs was told by an ABC executive that marrying the pair would be irresponsible, before a favorable Internet poll led to the decision being approved. As the series progressed, Eric's characterization became more foolish and unintelligent to accommodate Friedle's comedic abilities.<ref name="uproxx"/>

Jeff Sherman, who was a producer and writer on the show, advocated to include issues such as vandalism and child abuse in the series, regardless of it being a comedy. An episode in the first season, "The Fugitive", discusses the idea of running away from home.<ref name="uproxx"/> [[Bob Tischler]] served as an executive producer alongside Jacobs towards the end of the show's run.<ref name="orbit"/>
