  • I Felt Pressure to Be Sexy: Boy Meets World Star on Growing & Sexploitation in Hollywood.
    Danielle Fishel aka “Topanga Lawrence” REVEALS the real reason she nearly quit BOY MEETS WORLD!
    She opens up in the MBB studio about facing body image issues and the pressures of objectification while she was underage, what it was like to have global pop star Lance Bass from NSYNC as her first serious boyfriend, and how chasing validation led her to perfectionism.
    Danielle discusses why BOY MEETS WORLD holds such a nostalgic feeling for all of us (& did you know she didn’t originally get the role of “Topanga”?!?!), how fame affected her friendships in school, her divorce, and getting into therapy after her first marriage ended.
    She also shares how her background in psychology led her to realize the importance of being established in who you are before you begin a healthy adult relationship.
    TUNE IN to MBB today to hear the full convo!

    Does BOY MEETS WORLD hold a nostalgic feeling for you, too? What are some other shows from the 80's/90's that have the same effect? 👀

      Speaking for myself, I wouldn't use the term "nostalgic" in describing the '80's and '90's. Granted, there are certain aspects of both decades which I appreciate and would prefer we still had. However, as one who is more a product of the '70's, my "nostalgia" is decidedly pre-1981. I always tell people that I was never in the "prime demographic", even when I was 18-34. Then again, I have been called an old soul.
      Having said that, as I mentioned above, there are certain aspects of the '80's and '90's which I do appreciate. For instance, I enjoy your program ("Blossom"), "Boy Meets World" and "The Wonder Years" (with Ben Savage's brother, Fred), among others, because many of the issues addressed apply regardless of time. But, I also enjoy "M*A*S*H" (1972-83), "The Walton's" (1972-81), "All in the Family"/"Archie Bunker's Place" (1971-83), "Diff'rent Strokes" (1978-86), "The Facts of Life" (1979-88) (with which you were also involved), "Quincy, M.E." 1976-82), "Dallas" (1978-91) and "The Love Boat" (1976-86), to name a few. (Interestingly enough, each of these programs, which aired during the '80's and or '90's, actually started during the '70's. Do you notice a theme?)
      Again, however, my relationship with the '80's and '90's (and the decades since) has always been, for lack of a better word, strained. It's difficult for one to feel "nostalgic" for a time in which one never actually belonged. With certain exceptions, such as those mentioned above, we're talking about five decades (the '80's, '90's, 2000's, 2010's and 2020's) which, for the most part, have seemed inauthentic and elaborate. To be sure, the rampant commercialism of these decades hasn't helped matters. On the other hand, if recent trends are to be taken as any indication, we hopefully seem to finally be starting to get away from that and heading back to something more genuine and simple. Of course, only time will tell.

      I was excited about this podcast since I grew up with the show and been listening to Pod Meets World, but it’s too bad Danielle totally missed the point and big lesson of that “fat” episode and only focused only on the absurdity parts. The lesson was that everyone has physical flaws and insecurities and that Corey would always love her no matter what her weight. Also that Erik wasn’t being serious when he called fat but she thought he was.

      I don't know about being a poster perfect person...how exhausting... These women give the talent of the Earth, how awesome of them. I would love Cheryle Burke on your show. People always think women can give and give to men when it is tiring. Having numerous women stand up for you over other women has to be tiring. Like Matt Lawrence and his buddies. I'd die of exhaustion keeping up with all that and women defending these men constantly, even myself. Men in reality don't want you to defend them, so stop. These people aren't or have to be inherently bad people, but I'm not nor should any woman stand up for a man or a person who doesn't want that. Let these people speak for themselves and I can only hope they lead other women in the right direction....

  • @Alpen83
    @Alpen83 4 месяца назад +92

    I don't know if Danielle is misremembering the "fat" episode, or if she mostly remembers how it brought up insecurities (understandably) for her. It's actually one of my favourite episodes. It horrifies me that she was told that there was going to be an episode to address her weight gain... That's not even what happens in story line. No one, but Topanga herself, sees her as fat. It is meant to give a body positive message, it's just done in a very 90's sort of way. It's not that anyone thinks that she looks pregnant, it's the combination of her struggling to zip up the pants she's wearing and saying that she feels nauseous, and Shawn jumping to conclusions.
    Great things about the episode: 1: She doesn't decide to starve herself, she comes up with a healthy eating plan. 2: Eric tells Cory that if he can't support the changes in her body, that he should stay away from her (Cory's freaking out that she's "pregnant", but Eric knows that she wants to lose weight and is struggling). 3: Once Cory knows the truth, he's baffled as to why she'd want to go on a diet. 4: Eric confesses that he only said, "Yes," when she asked him if she was fat, so that he could eat her pizza. 😆 5: Mr. Feeny says, "Unfortunately, we live in a society where they tell us we have to look a certain way, so we're all under pressure to live up to unrealistic expectations."
    I hope Danielle knows that she always was, and still is, STUNNING!

      @twinpunch7172 3 месяца назад +15

      Yes, thank you. My exact thoughts when she was talking. Eric was like, "You're not fat. You're hot!" And the other girls talked about how they were jealous of her body and had their own insecurities.
      I'm sad she felt attacked while making that episode. We all thought she was the most gorgeous thing to walk the earth.

    • @doublefeature
      @doublefeature 3 месяца назад +10

      i'm sure it was probably all the behind the scenes stuff that had the real impact on how she felt about that episode. being told she was letting them down cuz of her weight. clearly that was just her natural body after growing into adulthood. she wasn't the standard in hollywood because it's got unhealthy and unfair standards. it's sad that when i was young i was thought she was so beautiful but i also had that thought 'she looks like a real woman!' truth is she's probably more thin than the average american woman.

    • @JS-mg1mk
      @JS-mg1mk 3 месяца назад +2

      ​@@doublefeatureit makes more sense when you realize she was only 18 in tbat episode even though her character was supposed to be 20. And I believe her about being a size 4. If you look at her from the waist down, she's not that big. She's just very large chested and that season was when she finally fully developed. A large chest can make you look a lot bigger than you are.

    • @jillianbaer5217
      @jillianbaer5217 3 месяца назад +3

      Yes! That's what it was. It wasn't like omg she gained weight! It was ok she's gaining weight, nauseous, moody( I believe too), acting very out of character. So they jumped to conclusions. Basic sitcom misunderstanding 101! Lol I also thought she tried getting Eric to exercise with her or act like he was the one asking for the dieting tips? Idk I just remember it being about BOTH of them gaining weight. For Topanga: she's pregnant📣 🤰
      Eric: just a loveable goofball that loves to eat🤪🍟🍔
      I thought that double narrative was interesting. I'm pretty sure they meant to point that out! That show was so ahead of it's time. I almost think it would do better now. Lol it was very positive for younger people when nothing else really was at that time!

    My favorite episode was the one where she drew a heart on her face with lipstick. As a young girl going through my parents’ bad divorce and moving many times, this show was everything for me. Literally tearing up writing this comment. As an adult pursuing my career as an actress in Los Angeles, I wish to someday work with Danielle Fishel! She is such an inspiration to me. ❤❤❤❤

    Great conversation! So nostalgic. I want Danielle to know that I watched Boy Meets World while it was current! It was popular to me! TGIF was such a staple to my Friday nights. And I watched reruns so often. I’m now 40 and a mother of 2, and I STILL will sometimes throw on Boy Meets World as a comfort show 😂🎉🎉
    AND….I watched Blossom growing up too and loved it so much. And the reruns were a comfort show for me during the summers when I’d be folding laundry for my mom :) so nostalgic!

  • @KA-xs7vl
    @KA-xs7vl 3 месяца назад +1

    Wow. I loved this. I am one of the people who found Boy Meets World on rerun (because we didn’t have a TV in my house when I was a kid more than my own age) and absolutely adored it. This was so nostalgic for me. And probably the only podcast/video of this length that I’ve watched from beginning to end, because Danielle caught my attention with her story-telling from the beginning. This was great. 😊

  • @jennyhammond9261
    @jennyhammond9261 3 месяца назад +3

    I wonder if the newer generations have this same nostalgia when it comes to TV shows. I was born in the mid 80s and the shows were connected to more than just shows. It meant my sister and I had come home from school. It meant we had finished our dinner and homework or that mom was making dinner. It meant we had two minutes to go to the bathroom or get a snack during the commercials. It meant you had to wait until tomorrow or a week from now to see what happened next.

    Wow! I think this just might be my favorite interview yet. I am a huge fan of you both and all your discussions were so much fun. I actually am Mayim's age, but my husband and I got married at 21 and in our broke newlywed days we would program our VCR to record TGIF so I feel like I still grew up on the last few season's of Boy Meets World. This past summer I discovered Pod Meets World on RUclips and was sad to discover they stopped sharing them here. I'll have to go track down the episodes from where they left off. Thanks ladies for a fun evening. I work from home so this is the closest thing I get to girl talk lately. ❤

    There is something so real about 90s actors. I might not have seen them in newer stuff but I’m like “yeah I’ll take your life advice because I know you probably had to fight and struggle”. Idk what it is but I was so excited, yet nervous but immediately clicked when I saw that title.

Down to the "who will I say remember when to?" Wow I'm just beside myself. I never thought anyone would understand. I know we're not besties but still knowing my fears and thoughts are validated is just something that helps a bit. Thank you for sharing that Danielle!!

    At least two boys I "liked" in junior high and high school came out. And then I came out later in life. Turns out I "liked" them because they were actually nice and hung out with us girls. In 5th or 6th grade, I decided that I needed to crush on a boy in class like all the other girls, so I made a list of all of them with pros and cons and narrowed it down to the one I would "like". Shockingly, I was also diagnosed with autism as an adult.

    I really enjoy the insightful after interview discussions between Jonathan and Mayim, and the way Mayim ties the experiences of the celebrity to us “regular” 😊folks because we aren’t all that different. Sometimes I am disheartened at the mistakes (20/20 hindsight) I have made living my life and then especially raising my kids but most of us our doing the best we can and as my mom always said, “If it’s not one thing it’s another…” which used to make us kids so frustrated but now we realize that it’s true.

    Wow. You know when you watch a TV show and your like this person is so fun and sweet. Then you hear the horror stories about them behind the scenes. Well I gotta say Danielle really is an articulate, down to earth, genuine person. Hollywood and fame didn't go to her head. I have much respect for her. I learned alot about her and from her. For example not judging yourself in front of your children. I never thought about that. I wish I did though. It's too late now cause my kids are grown but I will be sharing this to my daughter to break the cycle for when she has kids. Thank you I really enjoyed the video.

    Loved this episode! Danielle is so right that it’s very important to eliminate the stigma and silence around miscarriage. It is more common than people realize. And a D&C, one of the healthcare procedures for miscarriage, is abortion healthcare. It can sometimes be necessary to save the pregnant person’s life and also to protect their future fertility.
