Season 3 of Boy Meets World originally aired on ABC from September 22, 1995 to May 17, 1996.
Synopsis
Finally no longer the lowest rank on the high school totem pole, Cory, Shawn, and Topanga faced another exciting year at John Adams High. Although lacking too many season-long arcs, season 3 had its fair share of moving moments and laugh-out-loud one-liners. Many fans argue that season 3 was when the cast was finally coming into their own.
Shawn
Staying under the care of Mr. Turner, Shawn faced a series of issues. Because neither him nor Turner was familiar with the situation, they often fought about what was and wasn't okay. Sometimes, Shawn was angry because he felt that Turner was trying to be his dad. It took a lot of work, but the two survived until Shawn's dad finally returned in "I Never Sang for my Legal Guardian", where they swore to remain friends.
Eric
Eric faced his first serious story line in season 3. Within spitting distance of his dream of being a weatherman, Eric applied for an internship at WIXB, the local news station that Mr. Williams had worked for prior to the season. Even though his grades weren't outstanding, he made the cut because of how bad he wanted the job. Eric succeeded and did well, but began to neglect his schoolwork and, following a confrontation with his father, left the station to complete his high school education.
Cory and Topanga
After two long seasons, Cory and Topanga date for the first time. It isn't easy, though. Because Cory couldn't get up the nerve to ask Topanga out, Shawn devised a plan where he went out with Topanga, leaving Cory with Topanga's annoying friend, Trini. Even once they were together, they had their issues. Bored, they decided to go back to being friends (which neither of them truly wanted) in "The Grass is Always Greener." But Cory couldn't take it, so he chased Topanga to Walt Disney World in Florida and won her back in "The Happiest Show on Earth."
