Changing Backstory
Cory and Topanga
- Cory's explaination of when he fell in love with Topanga changes from when she kissed him in Cory's Alternative Friends, to when they were catching fireflies as kids, to when they were playing at a playground as toddlers.
- In A Long Walk to Pittsburgh: Part 2, Cory says Topanga kissed him when he was 13, although at the time (at least, in that particular episode), his stated age was 11.
- In Resurrection, Topanga recreates her weird dance from Cory's Alternative Friends by drawing a heart on her face, then one on Cory to include him. In the original dance, it had been a circle with a cross through it.
- She also says in the episode that she was teaching Cory the meaning of the poem, when in reality it was her idea for a project about the environment.
Alan
- Alan states several times throughout the show that he was in the Navy, yet in Family Trees it is said he was a cook in the coast guard and Eric only thinks he was in the Navy because he's stupid.
Amy
- In some episodes, Amy works for an art museum. In others, she works in real estate. Towards the end, she seems like a homemaker.
Eric
- In Truth and Consequences Eric says he has never dreamed, but he has dreams in other episodes.
- Eric gets really excited to be on TV in Eric Hollywood, yet he's already been on TV in Stormy Weather.
Jack
- Jack is devastated when his rich step-father cuts him off monetarily in Angela's Ashes, yet he had claimed that he worked for all his money in Boy Meets Real World. Also, he'd been working in the student union for most of season 7, beginning in You Light Up My Union.
Joshua
- Joshua was born in My Baby Valentine, but he is at least three years old when he appears slightly over a year later in Brave New World
Rhiannon Lawrence
- Rhiannon Lawrence, mother of Topanga is referred to as "Miriam" by Cory in Raging Cory
Dana Pruitt
- Dana says that Shawn promised her a Valentine's date "six months ago" in First Girlfriends Club, even though they hadn't been dating for over a year (in season 3).
