Trivia move
* ActorAllusion: Several:
** Cory incorrectly refers to Ricky, the guy Topanga kissed during their second break-up as a soap opera actor, not a artist. His actor Jonathan Jackson was best known for playing Lucky Spencer on the soap opera General Hospital
** 'John Adams High School' is a nod to Creator/WilliamDaniels, who played John Adams in ''[[SeventeenSeventySix 1776]]''.
** In "Boy Meets Real World", Mr. Feeny says that ''TheGraduate'' is a great film. Mr Feeny's actor William Daniels was also in ''TheGraduate''. In another episode, when Cory is looking for his father's silver glove necklace, Cory is seen scuba diving similar to Benjamin in ''TheGraduate'', with the same POV shot of William Daniels.
** In "The Truth About Honesty", while telling his date increasingly obvious [[BlatantLies lies]], Eric eventually culminates by declaring that he's Batman. This was a ThrowItIn line Will Friedle improvised in celebration of realizing his life-long dream of working in animation, upon being cast as the new Batman in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. The scene even closes by playing a Batman-esque piece of music (reused from "And Then There Was Shawn").
** In "Rave On", Topanga calls Frankie, played by Ethan Suplee, a "mallrat". Suplee was in the film ''{{Mallrats}}'' which came out a month before the episode aired.
** JenniferLoveHewitt appeared in a horror-themed episode, playing Jennifer Love ''Fefferman'' (AKA Feffy), an expy of her character from ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer'', and there is also a bait-and-switch allusion to Hewitt's show ''Series/PartyOfFive'':
-->'''Jack:''' I like that one with the hotty hot hot from ''Party of Five''.
-->'''Feffy:''' Neve Campbell?
-->'''Eric:''' Duh!
*** Also, she was dating Will Friedle at the time, and Eric showed interest in her romantically in that episode.
** The episode "A Long Walk to Pittsburgh" features Topanga's aunt Prudence, who according to Topanga "has never been in love, never been married, and wouldn't even know who Romeo and Juliet were". Said aunt was played by Creator/OliviaHussey, who played Juliet in the 1968 film adaptation of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''.
* CreatorBreakdown: The episode "Shallow Boy" involves Eric dating the aspiring singer/songwriter Corinna, whose songs are [[TastesLikeDiabetes saccharine]] and completely unappealing. When he dumps her, she immediately starts writing dark and angry songs clearly directed at him; ''these'' sell, and she becomes a huge success. After a while she meets with Eric, ostensibly to apologize, but he quickly realizes she's just run out of material. Refusing to give her any, he acts nice to Corinna and manages to revert her to mindless schlock mode, by singing the song "Tomorrow" from ''Annie'' with her. At the end of the episode, Eric gives an evil snicker once her cheerful album bombs. The character was a parody of AlanisMorissette, who had a similar transformation. The episode even openly references Alanis.
* TheDanza: JasonMarsden as... Jason Marsden. An odd example of the trope in that Marsden is an entirely peripheral character (Eric's best friend, back in the years when Eric was still relatively sane). Marsden was obviously only there because he and Will Friedle are best friends in RealLife and, needing a best friend character for Eric, the writers decided to just have Jason do it.
* DawsonCasting: 28-year-old Trina [=McGee=] as high school senior Angela Moore. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] by ''everyone else'' in the main cast. At the start of the show the actors were, on average, two years older than their characters but the character's ages were bumped up by two years at some point in show's run. By the end of the series, Danielle Fishel was actually playing older than she was.
** Parodied in the "Kid Gets Acquainted with the Universe." episode with the Morgan expy being played by a woman who was much older, who was still being played by Morgan's [[TheOtherDarrin other Darrin]], a still-preteen Lindsay Ridgeway.

* LineOfSightName: According to WordOfGod this is how Topanga got her name. One of the writers was on his car phone and drove past a sign for Topanga, California while they were trying to think of a name for the character.
* TheOtherDarrin:
** Morgan's original actress Lily Nicksay was swapped out for Lindsay Ridgeway between the second and third seasons. The latter doesn't show up until midway through the third, delivering the classic line "That was the longest time-out I ever had."
** Harley was also replaced for a single episode. The character was then PutOnABus, but the original actor returned for one more episode the next season.
** Topanga's parents also went through several sets of very different actors (three for her father and two for her mother). The contrast is pretty evident when Jedidiah goes from being [[TheMonkees Peter Tork]] to [[ThisIsSpinalTap Michael McKean]].

* ThrowItIn: The crazier Eric got, the more Will Friedle started to improvise and mix things up. Most of the time it worked as Eric is the ONLY funny thing in some of the more serious episodes and in a lot of ways was the funniest character in the show
** Most obvious is his stirring rendition of ''Ooh, Child'' in "Angela's Ashes." Trina [=McGee=] doesn't even try to keep it together and you can hear the rest of the cast snickering over the laugh track.
** The foodfight from "Hogs and Kisses" is something that obviously got out of hand ''waay'' too quickly, but was too funny to tell the actors to stop.
** In "The Provider" a singed and smoking Eric shows up at Cory's door to ask for his lucky penny back (don't ask, [[ItMakesSenseInContext just watch the episode]]). Rather than take it with his hand he makes Cory put it in his mouth and then walks over to the (non-ringing) telephone and says "Hello?" Ben Savage immediately loses it.
** Another one, from the episode "Angela's Men": The tag ''seems'' to be a typical scene wrapping up the episode's events, but it soon becomes clear none of the actors were able to make it through the scene without breaking, so instead it turns into a blooper reel showing all their attempts. Again, Will Friedle was largely responsible.
