"Eric, you never have to be afraid to go home." The way he read that line was so beautiful. So much warmth and emotion behind it. I wish for us all to have a home like that one day, if not already.
@bensonbrett30 ofcourse it's inside. Have you ever heard an expression "home is where the hearth is is". But it also goes deeper, because you can't live with or inside the comfort of your home all the time. Home is somewhere you can come back to, otherwise you become a hermit who never leaves the comfort of your home, which is bad for any kind of development.
Alan is a VERY underrated TV dad. I don't feel like many talk about him when they talk about TV dads. The man delivered lines like no one else. We always talk about Shawn carrying the show, but I really enjoyed Alan's role in the Matthews house. I miss this show in general too lol. Kids don't have a show like this today, and it shows.
This is true, it's why I was saying he was underrated, but to your point also OVER-shadowed. A shame, but I'm glad he's getting the respect he deserves from us millennials as we got older.@@Amzingred
@@alexbeardsley751 yeah I basically grew up watching him on Boy Meets World, but he did such an amazing job in American History X that I side-eye the hell out of him whenever I see him. He did an episode of Criminal Minds that didn't help either.
The show Frasier did this like every episode. A couple characters would sneak off to speak privately in the kitchen...which had no door and was literally right next to where everyone else was. No way everyone nearby didn't hear those "secret" conversations.
Growing up as a kid I used to relate to Corey. But as I got older I can relate more to Eric now then anyone else on this show. Even at 40 I can still relate to Eric.
I relate to him but I just turned 22. Basically, things were supposed to be a lot different and plans didn't work out the way they were supposed to. Now I'm kind of just stuck.
Same here. I settled for a few solid jobs that I wasn't particularly passionate about, now I'm about to go back to school for graphic designing/art so I can find a job that I REALLY enjoy.
@@trinitylivingston1286 Figure out what you need and go get it. You will always want something. Just worry about what you need. Also, every job sucks, just work somewhere where you don't want to quit every day and you will be fine.
"Because he's dad" - this hit me so hard, as someone that had a difficult relationship with his father, this show alone taught me so much about what it means to be a good father. I know one day when I have kids of my own, this show will be among one of the top influences that'll make me strive to be a kind and caring dad.
@@MrJesusfreakerik Nah their right. After season 5, Eric got extremely flamboyant and felt like he had frontal lobotomy. He had funny moments, but his screws were definitely all loose.
You can tell that Allen was talking about himself by his demeanor and he doesn't want the same to happen to eric. I mean, there is nothing wrong with settling if you are content with things in life, but the problems come about when you settle just for the sake of settling and that's what we get from Allen in this scene. He settled just for the sake of settling and he has regretted it for years as a result.
@@hubbybubby21 does this have any relation to the episode later on when corey couldn't find anything special like him. And everyone was oogling over the girl his sisters age that is an art prodigy...and corey was upset that the father was just a cashier or something ( i forget details) and then corey wanted the attention during his sisters singing at the end.
I really like both sides of eric. I wish they wouldnt have made him so dumb near the end of the show. But I really liked his serious moments. He's a great actor on both sides of the spectrum
This is the episode that made me realize I should give college a shot. I tried so hard in middle and high-school and still found myself barely passing certain classes. I thought college would be much harder. When Allan made the speech about settling, it inspired me to try it out. College ended up being much easier and certain topics I normally failed in the past made more sense to me. I ended up graduating with a pretty good GPA. Thanks Allan and Eric!
And then he became a hermit named plays with squirrels and wrote a huge book with one single sentence in it. Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose yourself.
This same episode Alan talked about how he didn’t plan on working at a grocery store for that long and did. Started there as a kid as a bagger, but kept getting promoted and didn’t have the courage to leave. It’s tough leaving a place you’re comfortable in, but years later you could really regret not shooting for something higher.
I can relate to that because I'm in a job I hadn't intended to stay at for as long as I have. I've been working at the same company for 21 years and I don't intend on staying there forever. I know what I want to do and what I need to do to make them happen.
What I love about this show is it taught good lessens without the need to lighten it up with cheap jokes. From 2:15 to the end of the video, you don't hear the laugh track even once. Just full immersion into the situation. I'm sure everyone can relate to this in some way. And they decide to take a break from the laughs and levity to get real for a minute and teach valuable lessons. The show did this constantly. And I love it for that. Entertain us throughout but treat us like adults.
I haven't watched this show in like 20 years and all these clips showing up in my feed makes me really wanna do a rewatch. I forgot how good this show was XD
I'm 31 years old, work as a junior level doctor, and feel exactly like Eric. What's the point in anything? I've never felt more empty and distant in my life. Even the people who love and accept me, I feel distant from.
I think we all feel this way when we stop and think. And you have obviously accomplished a lot, but it’s clear that there is more to finding contentment than occupational success. You’ll be alright roamer, just find the things and people you love and cling to it.
I'm 31 with a high school diploma, its about what you already have not what you don't have. Appreciation for the little things goes a long way. Your gonna be depended on soon and that right there is a purpose to live for. My father was a doctor with his own practice, and I'm over here settling. No more
I’m sure you’re making decent money as a doctor….. I’d be overjoyed if I had the kind of money you have. Maybe you can shift away from the medical field when you have enough money saved up and try something else? You shouldn’t feel empty. I want to build up wealth and get my travel freedom back.
I used to relate to cory but now i think i relate to eric. Eric has always been my favourite character. He feels lost and that relatable as sometimes in life we feel lost, like we arent moving and we need people to remind us who we are and how to get there.
Looking back on it you can see how Alan has compassion and patience with Eric because he sees himself in Eric, and Corey! I'm noticing little references Alan makes about not settling, not being in such a rush for life, you can see that he has thought about his life a lot and the decisions he made and I think he realized he can't change his past but he can use his past as wisdom to connect to his sons. Always liked him when I was younger but now I know why!
@@HandsomeSteveJacobson THERE'S A WHOLE GENERATION OF US OUT HERE THAT CAME FROM BROKEN HOMES AND PEICE OF SH*T "DADS" OR LACK THEREOF! YOUR DEFINITELY NOT ALONE! 💔😭
This right here was the problem with some of the 90s messaging. They keep hounding that college is seeking your full potential. Growing and seeking your potential should not be tied to college. We got this a ton from the baby boomer generation even in real life. This got amplified in movies and television series like this. Just because Eric didn't get the SAT scores to get into college doesn't mean that is the path he should take.
Because it was true. Without a college degree in those days you were stuck at a job with hardly any upward mobility and low wages. These days you can attend vocational school, learn a trade, make a living. It's a more acceptable route to take than it was in the 90s.
@@your1supporter No that's because schools like that got a terrible image before the 2000s because they were filled with people who were high school dropouts. Vocational education became much better in the 2000s (with a broader education) which changed their image for the better. Yes, college does help with upper mobility but the problem is the boomer mentality. They saw the dudes with college degrees getting further ahead than with their high school degree alone. So they think all kids need to go to college to not go through what they went through. However, now everyone went to college. The jobs that didn't require a degree now does thanks to the insane competition. So instead of that same job that only required a high school degree now requires a college degree, thus taking on 30k debt that they shouldn't have to take. My issue with the boomer mentality isn't just going to college, but going to college without a sense of what you want to do. This is what we did with high school kids and now we do it to college kids. So now they all go to college getting degrees that aren't cost-effective or applying to jobs that previously didn't need a college degree. The other routes were always there even in the 90s but we glammed up the image of college more than we should have.
Alan doesn't say he has to go to college. That's the way Eric measures his degree of success. Alan tells him to come home so that his family and friends can help him find what he really wants to do, rather than running away from that challenge. I never ceased to be amazed at the writing of this program. In the midst of a very raw scene, in which one or more of the main characters lets down his/her defenses, they manage to fit in a silly moment, the pie scene with the great Phil Leeds.
I relate so much to Eric in this scene quite a bit. I'm 22 and it already feels like I've hit the allotment of what my life will be. That and I haven't had any actual achievements in my life after the age of 18. I still live with my parents, I still don't have a drivers license, I still work at the same minimum wage job I did a few years ago (as a teen), I'm a college dropout, I don't have an s/o, etc. I only have a high school diploma. Edit: I think I feel this way because I compare myself to my siblings, cousins, and classmates/friends.
You're 22. You have your whole life ahead of you. And if you're a male, you won't fully peak until your mid 40s. I'm 32 and my entire future is still ahead of me too. I'm in the middle of millennials and you're the older side of Gen Z. We have a few things in common. You're thinking only from the perspective of youth. Thinking life peaks or ends at 25 or 30 or something. Get some advice from some older role models you can trust. NOT celebrities or social media influencers though. You're down, not out. Good luck
You haven’t even begun to live yet. There’s still so much more out there for you to accomplish. In the words of Sylvester Stallone: “now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth but you gotta be willing to take the hits and not be pointing fingers at anybody saying you’re not where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!”
Mann watching this scene as an adult shows me how Parents mean well but they speak out of their own mistakes, fears, failures and regrets. And then unknowingly can place that weight or doubts on their children. A disclaimer could help. Saying, “listen this is what happened to me, but it doesn’t mean it’ll happen to you. Here’s my experience. But if you decide to go through with it, you’re going to be okay.” Or something along those lines. So imo as parents we do have to be conscious of what we say and do.
Im 32 grew up watching this show but I've forgot about it until I came across this video. Thank you TH-cam for putting a smile on my face and can we please get more shows like this for the future generations.
I think he meant his career and not going to college then he’s so fulfilled with the store Amy bought him to love his dream a business for himself vs slaving away at the markeg
@@lindagarcia5908 I guess I assumed this was before the shop when he was still at the grocery store. He always seemed super happy at the outdoor's shop.
@@DrThunder2004 even as a kid I interpreted the end of this scene as Allan finding his answer, that he'd stumbled into the thing he was best at - being a dad. And that smile and smack on Eric's hand as him accepting he'd done really well.
In season 1 Alan mentions that his dream was to be an engineer and build bridges, but he ended up working at the supermarket his whole life. His family is the one thing hes proud of which is why he says "thats mostly what i am" because the other part of his life (manager of a super market) hes not so proud of.
Agree. I think he also is smart but he doesn't allow himself to like feel what is going on inside him because everyone expects so much for him, to see the good and have everything together when he doesn't.
This seems very relatable. Feeling like a loser as an adult, and your family loves you regardless but yet it's hard because that doesn't change how you present to the rest of the world.
Eric should have stayed in my opinion because he would have started a family and been happier then he was at the end of the series. It doesn’t always work out the same when you have multiple siblings and a lot of parents think there kids will have a life like Corey and tapanga do with there child. In my opinion the parents didn’t want to let go and had no trust in there oldest sons decisions. If he stayed and didn’t like the decision then he can go home later but them not letting him take a chance at life when he was sure he knew what he wanted and giving him the opportunity to see what he can make out of life is why most siblings and kids are living at home with there parents in there early and late 30’s because they are coddled by parents that won’t let them leave the nest.
Although it seems Alan didn’t want him to make that choice based on his own experiences. He knows what it’s like to just settle for something and he doesn’t want Eric to do that, because he knows it will make him miserable later on. Given that he becomes a hermit by choice later on, I think Alan was in the right to stop him.
Damn, William Russ is so good. As a kid I never really appreciated it but watching through some of these scenes as an adult I really appreciate his acting.
This was my favorite episode. It really spoke to me about my own life. I wish they would have kept Eric out of college and made him a working man. They sort of did for most of the season, but then they chickened out.
For context, Alan received an award for his achievements in being a manager of a grocery store. He began to reflect on why he never sought out anything else career-wise that could give him real fulfillment and happiness. Cory saying “because he’s dad” allowed him to realize that being their father is his great achievement that fulfills him. Only sharing because not many comments seem to mention that.
I think most of us can relate to what Eric's going through here. That time you become an adult and have to do stuff on your own is the toughest part in one's life/development.
Me too, was just thinking that same thing. My dad was my best and most loyal person in my life for 26 years, passed away suddenly a couple years back. It's hard to have these kinds of moments Eric is having, when you don't have someone with the knowledge a dad has. Right there with you man, stay strong.
I do think Eric should’ve stayed because he felt that was home to him, Eric always love his family I mean think about it he didn’t go to college the place that he was in felt like to him,
Eric didn’t wanna stay because he felt like it was home, believe me at the heat of the moment when you feel so lost and empty and no one can understand, you will do anything to try change your perspective and that this was what you wanted
This is a lesson I had to learn at a very young age. I was 18 fresh out of highschool ang going into college, I never really felt I was going to be who I wanted to be just by settling for what others thought was best for me. Life brings many decisions and sometimes taking risks to never settle for anything less than what’s really matters can be tough. But I realized that no one else is going to live your life except YOU. And that’s what motivates me to be everything I can be while god still grants me the ability to do so!
@@knucklehoagiesit’s because small towns don’t have a lot of opportunities. I live in a small town and all there is is just fast food restaurants and retail.
@@peterparker1683 I know. I come from a small town too. I just don’t think it’s fair to depict all small town people like they’re all “uneducated hicks” when it’s not true. Hollywood likes to perpetuate that stereotype.
I'm not sure if I agree with the message of this episode. Sometimes it takes going somewhere else and moving away from your family and your day to day to jumpstart your life.
Also, how would this be “settling” for Eric? He could have done great things there. Not to mention settlers didn’t “settle”… That misuse of the word is silly.
@@Jay_Sullivan cute but the fact remains was that the trip Eric went for wasn’t to “find himself”, he felt just so lost and frustrated and a failure that he doesn’t wanna go home to face reality that he himself feels like a failure. He was grasping at straws to find meaning

To me I think Eric should’ve stayed, He said it himself he scared of going home Growing up I was born and raised in saginaw then the saddest thing happened, Then I moved up here in traverse city it was home I had a girlfriend she became the love of my life I was about to give her a promise ring, I was going to ask her to be my future, It never happened what kind of home is that?
@@LalienX because I was planning of giving her the promise ring on Christmas , She beat me to the punch though last August we broke up because of what’s been happening to her family, That’s why,
@@davidcarty7584 don’t know about that, The new character mile Jr Horton was abandoned by his own father bill Horton and left his mother in the Horton cabin when she passed away, If you think about it anybody would want to run away from that kind of past,
Since watching this as an adult, I keep picturing Alan & Shawn as the same person. Alan once told Cory that when he was younger, he was like Shawn. I always wanted to see Shawn in the future as a newer Alan.
Sorry, but that was the wrong message. At one point in life you need to leave the nest and leave home to explore the world and YOURSELF, your true inner self! Most of us get indoctrinated into a specific way of life and system in our families and social circles in the home town! No wonder he feels pressure and like a mistake. Eric surely wouldn't stay there forever but he shouldn't have to go back to his parents and "friends", who were all younger than him beside Mr Feeny.
The irony of his message is. No one (except for feeny) cared about Eric. Let’s be absolutely honest here. His entire family crapped all over everything Eric ever did. They never saw potential in him. I liked Alan but Eric gravitated towards feeny because Feeny was the only one that gave him any type of real guidance
I don’t get this message at all considering Eric’s storyline. I don’t remember if this is before or after the Rachel incident, but doesn’t Alan end up kicking him out when he leaves the dorm because he isn’t comfortable with her and Jack and Alan’s busting his butt over not having a job etc?? The way things went I feel like Eric would have way benefited staying here. He wouldn’t have been alone. Had a girl, some friends, could visit his fam and have some nice pie, and a place to stay. Who knows what kind of life he would have made for himself? I don’t like how Alan felt the need to control every aspect of his children’s lives. He wanted Eric to stay with him now instead of exploring his options but later it was the opposite, which makes no sense. Later he wants Eric to make something of himself but Alan took that opportunity away long ago. Alan also didn’t want Cory to marry Topanaga. Sure they’re young but they’re adults now so whatever. Idk. I don’t get this scene.
You don't go out by yourself when your not ready. His parents understood that and let him come home. We see to many parents release their kids into the world when they don't know anything about it. The world is a cruel place. I've seen many kids take the wrong decision in life thinking they know everything. I was also a kid like him and the choices I made were wrong. Seen to many people fall like that specially in this times. When people who don't care about you make you feel like they do and in the end you end up alone and betrayed. Why not come home to the people that love you instead of looking people who don't.
@@mariastephens1827 I don’t think it was about that, more-so him feeling like there’s nothing for him at home, which isn’t the case. He can take some time away from his family to explore, but not because he’s afraid of home. Eric has exhibited a tendency to make hasty decisions or go all in on something he deems as a “sure thing” (he tried dropping out of HS to pursue a weatherman career not long before this incident) so it’s no surprise Alan wants to make sure he truly takes the time to process/figure things out and prepare himself, likely with his guidance, as opposed to undergoing this journey out of the feeling that he needs to completely escape the life he has at home due to personal insecurities.
I've never seen the show, but that was a deep moment. When he said he failed to get into college, it made me think of the people i met who did and didn't graduate. The cost on top of the emotional damage and some just have to settle in order to move on and pay the debt of something not received. I'm not saying college is bad, i graduated and made reasonable money. Its just, adulthood does show you why people make certain actions that others may see as objectibly wrong or not good choices.
Irene move on later in life after months of waiting for Eric's return but that never happened no matter how many times she prayed to the shooting stars. She later found steady job with the guys but their mortgage was messed up she realize that she was only on Onlyfans to cover up their expenses, so she meet the old man who loves pie who had a deeply connection for squat cobbler challenges that help her , her guys and her only fans. The End. Years later she passed away due to Salmonella in ice cream, the Ice Cream was never found.
I grew up with a hard-working single mother and a father who dibble dabbled in an out of my life. Both were great parents (rest in peace). When I was growing up, the idea of having 2 parents in the household made you uncool-made you "too American". I grew up amongst single parent familes with no fathers and we all grew up "hating" our fathers in some sort of way. And as we grew up with no direction and order from our fathers, many of us lost our way and looked for Fatherdom elsewhere. Some turned to clubs and sports, some turned to school and performing arts-but for the lot of us, we roamed the streets looking for Fathers. Today, in 2023, I am now a father to 3 boys. Two teens and a 2 year old. My main goal is to be a father to them as Alan was to Corey and Eric. I see now the importance of a strong foundational family. Everyone has a role. The Father keeps the order and the Mother keeps the love. Society today has lost sight of the impact of a mother/father household and should make it an effort to become one. Because ultimately. the children are the ones who suffer. When the parents are absent, the parents are content with what's going on in their lives, but are ignorant to the needs of the child.
At least, he didn’t “settle” for being a role model in a small town, paired to a beautiful girl… He never would have ended up homeless and talking to squirrels.
I love Boy Meets World but this scene really rubbed me the wrong way. To me, it looked down on small town life like it was inferior to living in the city. The dad was really vague about how living in a small town would be “settling”, as opposed to city life, which is apparently superior in his mind. I do like what Alan said about coming home to be close to family and friends though. Also, what Eric said about not getting into college… there is nothing wrong with that. College isn’t for everyone. It seemed to me like they associated not going to college with failure and living in a small town as failure. The people in that town were very welcoming and supportive of Eric. I liked that.
This was a common trope in family sitcoms back in the 90s... it reflected the parenting styles of the time. Baby Boomers pushed their millenial kids hard to go to college at all costs because settling for anything else is considered a "downgrade" in their eyes. If you watch a number of other sitcoms from the 90s, you notice how they always portray people in trades as "dopey dumb" people. Insinuating that anything less than a college graduate is considered a bottom feeder of society. This is hollywood elitism at play here. Fortunately nowadays, the truth about it is more known to the public but back then, it was super easy to spread this type of propaganda and have people eat it up. Another Example: Clearly this show is set in Philadelphia and the small town Eric is in this episode is located somewhere just outside the city.... yet the locals have southern accents and talk like backwoods hicks... The writers and producers of the show knew exactly what they were doing.
I used to cry all through childhood for not having a real dad and wondering why I was put up for adoption. I learned why and it was because of him and how awful and dangerous he is.
I understand what the message was its like if you find a job you feel like comfortable they might not pay good but you're there cause it might close to where you live in the beginning you will feel happy great but eventually you will feel you could've done better ams it might be too late likein tge beginning of this episode how Alan felt
I don’t like myself , I finally started my life over with someone It didn’t work out and I don’t care, I’m still waiting for her, What am I supposed to do with my life now?
If you expect immediate results you'll never get them. If you wait around and experience new things, the ups and downs, you will find what you are looking for.

He settled just for the sake of settling and he has regretted it for years as a result.

This is the episode that made me realize I should give college a shot. I tried so hard in middle and high-school and still found myself barely passing certain classes. I thought college would be much harder. When Allan made the speech about settling, it inspired me to try it out. College ended up being much easier and certain topics I normally failed in the past made more sense to me. I ended up graduating with a pretty good GPA. Thanks Allan and Eric!
And then he became a hermit named plays with squirrels and wrote a huge book with one single sentence in it.

This same episode Alan talked about how he didn’t plan on working at a grocery store for that long and did.
Started there as a kid as a bagger, but kept getting promoted and didn’t have the courage to leave. It’s tough leaving a place you’re comfortable in, but years later you could really regret not shooting for something higher.
Not in this episode. That was the episode where he quit and started up the outdoorsman store.
No it isn’t
That was a different episode. That one was “I ain’t gonna spray lettuce no more.”
I can relate to that because I'm in a job I hadn't intended to stay at for as long as I have. I've been working at the same company for 21 years and I don't intend on staying there forever.

I always loved those moments when Eric gets real.
What I love about this show is it taught good lessens without the need to lighten it up with cheap jokes.
From 2:15 to the end of the video, you don't hear the laugh track even once.
Just full immersion into the situation. I'm sure everyone can relate to this in some way. And they decide to take a break from the laughs and levity to get real for a minute and teach valuable lessons.
The show did this constantly. And I love it for that. Entertain us throughout but treat us like adults.
Alan is a wonderful father. Tough but loving.
I haven't watched this show in like 20 years and all these clips showing up in my feed makes me really wanna do a rewatch. I forgot how good this show was XD
Same lol
I'm 31 years old, work as a junior level doctor, and feel exactly like Eric. What's the point in anything? I've never felt more empty and distant in my life. Even the people who love and accept me, I feel distant from.
Dude, real shit. It's why I can never really enjoy anything fun. I'll recognize it's fun but it doesn't really do it for me.
I think we all feel this way when we stop and think. And you have obviously accomplished a lot, but it’s clear that there is more to finding contentment than occupational success.
You’ll be alright roamer, just find the things and people you love and cling to it.
I'm 31 with a high school diploma, its about what you already have not what you don't have. Appreciation for the little things goes a long way. Your gonna be depended on soon and that right there is a purpose to live for. My father was a doctor with his own practice, and I'm over here settling. No more
I’m sure you’re making decent money as a doctor….. I’d be overjoyed if I had the kind of money you have. Maybe you can shift away from the medical field when you have enough money saved up and try something else? You shouldn’t feel empty.
I want to build up wealth and get my travel freedom back.

I used to relate to cory but now i think i relate to eric. Eric has always been my favourite character. He feels lost and that relatable as sometimes in life we feel lost, like we arent moving and we need people to remind us who we are and how to get there.
Looking back on it you can see how Alan has compassion and patience with Eric because he sees himself in Eric, and Corey! I'm noticing little references Alan makes about not settling, not being in such a rush for life, you can see that he has thought about his life a lot and the decisions he made and I think he realized he can't change his past but he can use his past as wisdom to connect to his sons. Always liked him when I was younger but now I know why!

This right here was the problem with some of the 90s messaging. They keep hounding that college is seeking your full potential. Growing and seeking your potential should not be tied to college. We got this a ton from the baby boomer generation even in real life. This got amplified in movies and television series like this. Just because Eric didn't get the SAT scores to get into college doesn't mean that is the path he should take.
Because it was true. Without a college degree in those days you were stuck at a job with hardly any upward mobility and low wages. These days you can attend vocational school, learn a trade, make a living. It's a more acceptable route to take than it was in the 90s.
@@your1supporter No that's because schools like that got a terrible image before the 2000s because they were filled with people who were high school dropouts. Vocational education became much better in the 2000s (with a broader education) which changed their image for the better.
Yes, college does help with upper mobility but the problem is the boomer mentality. They saw the dudes with college degrees getting further ahead than with their high school degree alone. So they think all kids need to go to college to not go through what they went through. However, now everyone went to college. The jobs that didn't require a degree now does thanks to the insane competition. So instead of that same job that only required a high school degree now requires a college degree, thus taking on 30k debt that they shouldn't have to take.
My issue with the boomer mentality isn't just going to college, but going to college without a sense of what you want to do. This is what we did with high school kids and now we do it to college kids. So now they all go to college getting degrees that aren't cost-effective or applying to jobs that previously didn't need a college degree. The other routes were always there even in the 90s but we glammed up the image of college more than we should have.
He literally went to school graduated and became a bum, shows how much him going to college with not that much of a plan helped him in the long run.
@@not_so_slck9298 Guess you didn't watch girl meets world where he became a U.S. Senator.
Alan doesn't say he has to go to college. That's the way Eric measures his degree of success. Alan tells him to come home so that his family and friends can help him find what he really wants to do, rather than running away from that challenge.
I never ceased to be amazed at the writing of this program. In the midst of a very raw scene, in which one or more of the main characters lets down his/her defenses, they manage to fit in a silly moment, the pie scene with the great Phil Leeds.
I relate so much to Eric in this scene quite a bit. I'm 22 and it already feels like I've hit the allotment of what my life will be. That and I haven't had any actual achievements in my life after the age of 18. I still live with my parents, I still don't have a drivers license, I still work at the same minimum wage job I did a few years ago (as a teen), I'm a college dropout, I don't have an s/o, etc. I only have a high school diploma.
Edit: I think I feel this way because I compare myself to my siblings, cousins, and classmates/friends.
You're 22. You have your whole life ahead of you. And if you're a male, you won't fully peak until your mid 40s. I'm 32 and my entire future is still ahead of me too. I'm in the middle of millennials and you're the older side of Gen Z. We have a few things in common. You're thinking only from the perspective of youth. Thinking life peaks or ends at 25 or 30 or something. Get some advice from some older role models you can trust. NOT celebrities or social media influencers though. You're down, not out. Good luck
Dw I feel like that too at 21 it’s normal to feel like that
@@doreroul6159 "If you're a male" lemme guess you think women peak at 16
@@kenirainseeker539 No but very disturbing that thought crosses your mind.
You haven’t even begun to live yet. There’s still so much more out there for you to accomplish. In the words of Sylvester Stallone: “now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth but you gotta be willing to take the hits and not be pointing fingers at anybody saying you’re not where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!”
Mann watching this scene as an adult shows me how Parents mean well but they speak out of their own mistakes, fears, failures and regrets. And then unknowingly can place that weight or doubts on their children.
A disclaimer could help. Saying, “listen this is what happened to me, but it doesn’t mean it’ll happen to you. Here’s my experience. But if you decide to go through with it, you’re going to be okay.” Or something along those lines.
So imo as parents we do have to be conscious of what we say and do.
Being happy is something that’s transitory; providing value is something that’s everlasting.

This scene seemed to imply that Allen settled when he decided to have a family

@@lindagarcia5908 I guess I assumed this was before the shop when he was still at the grocery store. He always seemed super happy at the outdoor's shop.
@@DrThunder2004 even as a kid I interpreted the end of this scene as Allan finding his answer, that he'd stumbled into the thing he was best at - being a dad. And that smile and smack on Eric's hand as him accepting he'd done really well.
In season 1 Alan mentions that his dream was to be an engineer and build bridges, but he ended up working at the supermarket his whole life. His family is the one thing hes proud of which is why he says "thats mostly what i am" because the other part of his life (manager of a super market) hes not so proud of.
Alan is taking about his career at the grocery store.
Eric is awesome
"I was 3 hours for home"
You know its that good if you travel that far just for some pie.
Unpopular Opinion I don’t think Eric is stupid. He’s funny and he does makes me laugh and I also love ❤️ 💕 💗 his serious moments.
Agree. I think he also is smart but he doesn't allow himself to like feel what is going on inside him because everyone expects so much for him, to see the good and have everything together when he doesn't.
This seems very relatable. Feeling like a loser as an adult, and your family loves you regardless but yet it's hard because that doesn't change how you present to the rest of the world.
Allen is just a dad
Eric should have stayed in my opinion because he would have started a family and been happier then he was at the end of the series. It doesn’t always work out the same when you have multiple siblings and a lot of parents think there kids will have a life like Corey and tapanga do with there child. In my opinion the parents didn’t want to let go and had no trust in there oldest sons decisions. If he stayed and didn’t like the decision then he can go home later but them not letting him take a chance at life when he was sure he knew what he wanted and giving him the opportunity to see what he can make out of life is why most siblings and kids are living at home with there parents in there early and late 30’s because they are coddled by parents that won’t let them leave the nest.
Although it seems Alan didn’t want him to make that choice based on his own experiences. He knows what it’s like to just settle for something and he doesn’t want Eric to do that, because he knows it will make him miserable later on.
Given that he becomes a hermit by choice later on, I think Alan was in the right to stop him.
Damn, William Russ is so good. As a kid I never really appreciated it but watching through some of these scenes as an adult I really appreciate his acting.
What I love about Alan is he has such a presence about him, but he's approachable and gentle when he needs to be.
This was my favorite episode. It really spoke to me about my own life. I wish they would have kept Eric out of college and made him a working man. They sort of did for most of the season, but then they chickened out.
I think it's because the rest of them were going to college and you can't lose Eric so they brought him along
The speech Alan makes sounds like he wants a divorce 😂
For context, Alan received an award for his achievements in being a manager of a grocery store. He began to reflect on why he never sought out anything else career-wise that could give him real fulfillment and happiness. Cory saying “because he’s dad” allowed him to realize that being their father is his great achievement that fulfills him. Only sharing because not many comments seem to mention that.
@@godxpardonxsin yup, him saying that's mostly who I am shows that being a dad has been his ultimate achievement.

I think most of us can relate to what Eric's going through here. That time you become an adult and have to do stuff on your own is the toughest part in one's life/development.
I miss my dad.
Me too, was just thinking that same thing. My dad was my best and most loyal person in my life for 26 years, passed away suddenly a couple years back. It's hard to have these kinds of moments Eric is having, when you don't have someone with the knowledge a dad has. Right there with you man, stay strong.
I do think Eric should’ve stayed because he felt that was home to him,
Eric always love his family I mean think about it he didn’t go to college the place that he was in felt like to him,
Eric didn’t wanna stay because he felt like it was home, believe me at the heat of the moment when you feel so lost and empty and no one can understand, you will do anything to try change your perspective and that this was what you wanted
When a crime breaks out all the cute girls shout cause he’s a good looking guy
I would have stayed for that woman
Allen Matthews was in an episode of NCIS season 9 episode 8
This is a lesson I had to learn at a very young age. I was 18 fresh out of highschool ang going into college, I never really felt I was going to be who I wanted to be just by settling for what others thought was best for me. Life brings many decisions and sometimes taking risks to never settle for anything less than what’s really matters can be tough. But I realized that no one else is going to live your life except YOU. And that’s what motivates me to be everything I can be while god still grants me the ability to do so!
This is an amazing piece of acting from William Fuss
Settling. Wow that’s a word to teach anyone. Especially kids

Since watching this as an adult, I keep picturing Alan & Shawn as the same person.
Alan once told Cory that when he was younger, he was like Shawn. I always wanted to see Shawn in the future as a newer Alan.
Sorry, but that was the wrong message. At one point in life you need to leave the nest and leave home to explore the world and YOURSELF, your true inner self! Most of us get indoctrinated into a specific way of life and system in our families and social circles in the home town! No wonder he feels pressure and like a mistake. Eric surely wouldn't stay there forever but he shouldn't have to go back to his parents and "friends", who were all younger than him beside Mr Feeny.
Yeah this message bugged me
The irony of his message is. No one (except for feeny) cared about Eric. Let’s be absolutely honest here. His entire family crapped all over everything Eric ever did. They never saw potential in him. I liked Alan but Eric gravitated towards feeny because Feeny was the only one that gave him any type of real guidance
I don’t get this message at all considering Eric’s storyline. I don’t remember if this is before or after the Rachel incident, but doesn’t Alan end up kicking him out when he leaves the dorm because he isn’t comfortable with her and Jack and Alan’s busting his butt over not having a job etc?? The way things went I feel like Eric would have way benefited staying here. He wouldn’t have been alone. Had a girl, some friends, could visit his fam and have some nice pie, and a place to stay. Who knows what kind of life he would have made for himself?
I don’t like how Alan felt the need to control every aspect of his children’s lives. He wanted Eric to stay with him now instead of exploring his options but later it was the opposite, which makes no sense. Later he wants Eric to make something of himself but Alan took that opportunity away long ago. Alan also didn’t want Cory to marry Topanaga. Sure they’re young but they’re adults now so whatever.
Idk. I don’t get this scene.
You don't go out by yourself when your not ready. His parents understood that and let him come home. We see to many parents release their kids into the world when they don't know anything about it. The world is a cruel place. I've seen many kids take the wrong decision in life thinking they know everything. I was also a kid like him and the choices I made were wrong. Seen to many people fall like that specially in this times. When people who don't care about you make you feel like they do and in the end you end up alone and betrayed. Why not come home to the people that love you instead of looking people who don't.
@@mariastephens1827 I don’t think it was about that, more-so him feeling like there’s nothing for him at home, which isn’t the case. He can take some time away from his family to explore, but not because he’s afraid of home. Eric has exhibited a tendency to make hasty decisions or go all in on something he deems as a “sure thing” (he tried dropping out of HS to pursue a weatherman career not long before this incident) so it’s no surprise Alan wants to make sure he truly takes the time to process/figure things out and prepare himself, likely with his guidance, as opposed to undergoing this journey out of the feeling that he needs to completely escape the life he has at home due to personal insecurities.
I've never seen the show, but that was a deep moment. When he said he failed to get into college, it made me think of the people i met who did and didn't graduate. The cost on top of the emotional damage and some just have to settle in order to move on and pay the debt of something not received. I'm not saying college is bad, i graduated and made reasonable money. Its just, adulthood does show you why people make certain actions that others may see as objectibly wrong or not good choices.
That old man with the pie always gets me
Irene move on later in life after months of waiting for Eric's return but that never happened no matter how many times she prayed to the shooting stars. She later found steady job with the guys but their mortgage was messed up she realize that she was only on Onlyfans to cover up their expenses, so she meet the old man who loves pie who had a deeply connection for squat cobbler challenges that help her , her guys and her only fans. The End.
Years later she passed away due to Salmonella in ice cream, the Ice Cream was never found.
I grew up with a hard-working single mother and a father who dibble dabbled in an out of my life.
Both were great parents (rest in peace).
When I was growing up, the idea of having 2 parents in the household made you uncool-made you "too American". I grew up amongst single parent familes with no fathers and we all grew up "hating" our fathers in some sort of way.
And as we grew up with no direction and order from our fathers, many of us lost our way and looked for Fatherdom elsewhere. Some turned to clubs and sports, some turned to school and performing arts-but for the lot of us, we roamed the streets looking for Fathers.
Today, in 2023, I am now a father to 3 boys. Two teens and a 2 year old.
My main goal is to be a father to them as Alan was to Corey and Eric.
I see now the importance of a strong foundational family. Everyone has a role. The Father keeps the order and the Mother keeps the love.
Society today has lost sight of the impact of a mother/father household and should make it an effort to become one.
Because ultimately. the children are the ones who suffer. When the parents are absent, the parents are content with what's going on in their lives, but are ignorant to the needs of the child.
Damm this was such a good show. Hate what they did with erics character in the later seasons.
At least, he didn’t “settle” for being a role model in a small town, paired to a beautiful girl… He never would have ended up homeless and talking to squirrels.
"I think we better do this in private... " *sits down 2ft away*
😂 the giant pie.
I love Boy Meets World but this scene really rubbed me the wrong way. To me, it looked down on small town life like it was inferior to living in the city. The dad was really vague about how living in a small town would be “settling”, as opposed to city life, which is apparently superior in his mind. I do like what Alan said about coming home to be close to family and friends though. Also, what Eric said about not getting into college… there is nothing wrong with that. College isn’t for everyone. It seemed to me like they associated not going to college with failure and living in a small town as failure. The people in that town were very welcoming and supportive of Eric. I liked that.
This was a common trope in family sitcoms back in the 90s... it reflected the parenting styles of the time. Baby Boomers pushed their millenial kids hard to go to college at all costs because settling for anything else is considered a "downgrade" in their eyes.
If you watch a number of other sitcoms from the 90s, you notice how they always portray people in trades as "dopey dumb" people. Insinuating that anything less than a college graduate is considered a bottom feeder of society.
This is hollywood elitism at play here. Fortunately nowadays, the truth about it is more known to the public but back then, it was super easy to spread this type of propaganda and have people eat it up.
Another Example: Clearly this show is set in Philadelphia and the small town Eric is in this episode is located somewhere just outside the city.... yet the locals have southern accents and talk like backwoods hicks... The writers and producers of the show knew exactly what they were doing.
