Thanks to it's sequel series Girl Meets World, Boy Meets World is back on UK TV after quite the absence. BMW was a show I used to love watching in the 90s (though I fell out of it in the college years though I saw some and saw Feeny was still there teacher for some reason), and while it's return to UK TV as not marked something I will go out my way to watch I still get enjoyment from watching it.
"Turkey Day" is the fourth seasons Thanksgiving episode and if I have seen it before in the 90s I really have no recollection of it and even features Shawn's mother who I never think of being around whatsoever, but looking up she apparently physically appeared in 3 episodes (including this one).
The episode plots feature Shawn and Corey winning turkey and stuffing after donating the mot cans, neither can decide who gets which but hit on the idea to have both family together for Thanksgiving at Shawn's families trailer park home (I'm not sure why having it at the Matthews house wasn't an option), there is a lot of issues when there with Shawn's family feeling inferior and Corey's not always quite knowing how act and say. So the episodes really about class and that and the issues we have with those below or above us.
The episode has an happy ending that when with the kids absent (they go to have dinner with Frankie and his brother also on the park) decide it's not working and go there seperate ways but overhear the kids giving thanks and how they accept each other, and decide if the kids can do it they should be able to do it.
There is very little Topanga or Feeny in this episode both appearing the beginning and end. The episode as a nice message that's not too in your face (unlike Girl Meets World, which honestly I don't really have a problem with doing) and does have time for it's jokes among the message it wants to get a cross.
Overall, in my opinion I think the middle section of seasons from Boy Meets World is it's best and this is bang in the middle of all that, the show is still enjoyable as I remember.
