"See How They've Grown"? Hmm. That seems like an odd name for a season one episode, doesn't it? Grown from what? Maybe it was a pitch for the season finale, and they grew from the first episode? Who knows. I'm very anxious to see!

I REALLY hope the other bonus features are just not listed by accident, and haven't been scrapped. And if they have been, they hopefully will at least appear on the 2nd season.

Just updated again, with some disappointing news. From what I hear, "Yesterday and Today" and Outtakes & Bloopers are missing. The bonus episode is actually the (very good) season 4 episode "Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow." There are audio commentaries on just four episodes (including the bonus episode), and that's all in the way of special features. A bit disappointing, as I was especially looking forward to the new featurette, but the commentaries should be good.

I'm not sure where Disney got "See How They've Grown" - maybe that's just how they're referring to the bonus feature in theory and not the episode itself. Still can't wait!

Oh man, that is disappointing. It doesn't at all spoil the release, though. I wonder why they decided just to throw a season 4 episode on there, though? Will it still be included in the season 4 set? I love the episode, I'm just not sure I understand it.

It's a shame the other features seem to be gone. Luke, when you say "are missing" do you mean from the latest posting by Disney, or from the DVD itself? I think you meant the latter, but I'm hoping for the former. :)

Oh well, just 17 (well, technically, 16) days!!

I'm almost certain they're not on the DVD, but we'll soon see. Good news is that I've received confirmation that the original openings are intact, just in case there was any doubt about that.

Well that is THE most important 'special feature' of all, in my book (and yes, it is special, lol). So that's a great confirmation. Even though I'd pretty much expected that anyways, that lifts my spirits from the other news.

And almost certain sounds pretty confident, so it looks like that's probably the case. I'll still hold out a small glimmer of hope just in case. But if not, oh well, it's still BOY MEETS WORLD! :D

Okay, I've got it and the AWESOME original opening credits sequences are indeed intact, and the bonus episode and 4 commentaries are the only extras provided. Full review will be coming in time. Extremely excited about this!

Well, that's a real shame, but I've already come to terms with it. Can't wait to read the review, Luke!

Oh, and I'm officially jealous.

For those of you who haven't seen Luke's review for this set on the front page, go read it now. Great job, Luke. I almost wish I wouldn't have read it, though... I was controlling my anticipation for it, but now I literally can't wait, lol.

Very nice preview + pics Luke! :up:

I prefer the later episodes of Boy Meets World (when they're in high school and college), but still, I may buy this :)

So you're the one who took the press release, the graphic, the disc art, removed all references to UltimateDisney.com, and didn't link back?

I don't think that merits free publicity.
What are you talking about?

You are fully credited for that , I linked back , I don't have acess to DVD Boxset before Release , So i copied it , and linked back.

Has anyone seen this?

(bootleg link removed)

I was wondering if anyone knew how credible that was....

I would readily pay $150 for the entire series.

I have a better idea. How about you buy the DVDs as they are released. You'll not only be getting product that clearly surpasses the bootlegs in question (which are most likely transferred from VHS recordings of synidcated cut reruns), but your money will be going to the people who made the show rather than some schmuck with a DVD burner and no qualms about engaging in illegal activity.

Sure you might pay a little more (not very much more), but you'll get a legal product, in superior video and audio, and with bonus features. You'll show your appreciation of the show to the cast, crew, and studio that made "Boy Meets World", and not be supporting some lousy bootlegger.
