Boy Meets World...World Unimpressed

Ever notice how just about every episode of Boy Meets World centers around Cory and Topanga getting into a fight and subsequently breaking up? Cory won't let Topanga use his toothbrush...they break up. Cory has feelings for a girl at the ski lodge...they break up. Topanga french kisses Mr. Feeny after class...they break up. Ok, I made up that last one, but you get the point. The plots of Boy Meets World are so egregiously repetitive, they make me yearn for the vast array of Full House episodes involving vehicular damage to the kitchen, references to "how great Pam was", and/or Michelle's obsessive desire for "ous-cream". I must have missed the episode where Danny explains to Michelle the health risks associated with childhood diabetes.

Speaking of Bob Saget (excellent segue), I finally watched The Aristocrats the other day, a documentary that recruits a multitude of great comedians to discuss the legendary joke involving a family pitching their "family act" to a talent agency. If you're amused by extremely offensive humor with a vulgar twist, don't miss this one.
