Mr. Feeny was the glue that held boy meets world together all those years, the glue being that one moment in every episode when someone else needed a little help
Woah! My head was just filled with Feeny-ness! I have memorized most these and try to live by them! I love this show so so much will always be my favorite, and will always have a special place in my heart!
I knew Feeny was a good character but while rewatching the show now I have a much greater appreciation for Feeny. So many great lessons that even today impacts me.
What I love most about this character is that he always saw the potential in his students (the main cast of students). He saw things in them that would make them exceptional people, and invested so much into them. That's the true mark of a teacher.
Except he wouldn't really be needed at an Ivy League College. He was needed, and teachers like him are needed at average high schools to teach the kids that they aren't average. They are all special and all have something special to contribute to the world, if they'd only believe in themselves and not be let down by adults. As a teacher who just retired after 48 years of teaching because I (obviously) reached retirement age, not because I had any desire to quit, I cry every time I watch the final scene of BMW. Feeny's final four pieces of advice are the best pieces of advice any teacher could give (brilliant writers). I used them on the last day of my last class. Shawn's "You never gave up on me. Not once," is the greatest compliment a student can give a teacher.
It took me a long time to figure out what he meant by "Do good". I always thought of it as a grammatical mistake he made. But I now understand what he meant.
The Goat before the Goat was a thing god bless you mister feeny you made me want to continue school and because of that i graduated with honors and the respect of my family
This man is so knowledgeable and wise. He knows things that some people never figure out in life. I've always wondered what he had to go through to learn such life lessons. Did he read it or experience it? Was it both? The fact that he married so late in life shows us some insight.
We had a Mr Feeny. His name is Mr Tindall. He was our shop teacher in high school. He knew everyone and everyone knew him. My HS years were 2002-2006. Today we had a celebration of life for a fellow friend/old classmate who tragically took his own life at just 33 years old. Tindall was there. In his 90s now. He got himself up on stage, walker n all, and gave the most beautiful speech to us. This get together was like a HS reunion. It's been nearly 20 years since we all graduated. We live in a small town and we all see each other around sometimes or on social media...but coming together for our friend and loved one, and seeing Tindall stand up there and recognize all of us from nearly 2 decades ago as well as memories of Curtis and his friends and others that were there from all those years ago was incredible. He gave a fuck. He let people cry on his shoulder. He gave the tough love to people. This small town is a little bubble and the opioid epidemic hit our city so hard when we all hit HS. Tindall knew a lot of the students were going through hard shit at home or at school or in their overall personal life.....and he gave everyone a safe space to trust an adult who would actually help them through. He didn't coddle people. He gave love and kindness where necessary and he loved everybody like they were his own. It was absolutely amazing to see him today. He spoke so well. We cried with him and laughed with him. Everyone wanted to talk to him when mingling began. Showing off their babies, wives, husbands, etc. He was proud of everyone and so excited to see all of us grown up and doing our best. I told him he made an impact and he changed/saved a lot of lives during his career and we both smile-cried together. It was a beautiful moment. He said that's all he ever wanted. Well Mr T, you succeeded. Thank you to all the Tindalls and Feenys out there. We need more teachers like you. 🥺🤍
When you're a teenager, that lesson about not letting other dictate who you are can be a very hard lesson to accept. I don't think it's a hard lesson to learn at that point in life, but it's hard to accept. When I was a teenager, I knew deep down that I shouldn't let others dictate who I was, but it was very hard to accept that and actually apply it to my life. I wanted to be accepted. I wanted to be liked. It can be hard to balance those wants with the wisdom of not letting others dictate who you are.
Mr.Feeny was such a good teacher with a good heart and has so much wisdom just like my good teacher Mr.Charles Mangan he was the best teacher anyone could every have he shared alot of his wisdom with me he told me that if I can dream I can achieve it I miss him every day but he is with his loved ones up there may peace be with you😊❤️🙏 and thank you we love you to and I promise I will make it to graduation and make you proud 😊
I want to do a full compilation of boy meets world and Mr feeny's lesson. They're timeless and truthful. The series really hammers in, that doing the right thing is usually hard, but it's more rewarding.
Feeny's perception lesson speaks to me. My boss belittled me because I'm a slow learner who _seems_ incompetent alone (I have a learning disability and have made mistakes at work). She said she didn’t think I could do a coffee service alone and was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen". And then she told me l need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. I want to prove her wrong so badly, and make her out to be an idiot. I'd rather be that one "loser" people don't believe in...than be a part of that shameless crowd. There's no shame in being wrong...unless you're wrong about someone's abilities.
I firmly believe that there is so much value in having the same teacher for, at the very least, one for each level (1-5, 6-8, 9-12) but I think having the same teacher for all of your k-12 career could genuinely work incredibly well. I mean in the 4 main disciplines of math, science, history and English. Elective courses in middle and high school obviously would be taught by different people and advanced classes available for gifted students in a given subject if they require such to reach the full potential. Having a long term teacher would nurture strong mentor-pupil bond and having a good understanding of your students strengths and weaknesses would allow for more individualized schooling. Unfortunately, there's many teachers that aren't very good and thus, makes this a hard concept to implement.
1:12 I remember being so sure in that one episode they were going to do a love story arc between Feeny and Topenga’s aunt. But she never appeared again.
Thank you, Mr. Feeny/John Adams. I find it rather ironic that the same actor who played John Adams in the musical 1776 worked as a teacher at John Adams High in Philadephia in Boy Meets World. Little known fact. You're welcome.
If you look up Jordan Peterson college lectures from back when he was a teacher, it's like the real-life Mr Feeny. It doesn't flow as beautifully because it's not scripted but it flows.
Mr feeny Cory and topanga taught me so much just watching there videos I know to listen sometimes I take notes on the Important stuff and try to live by them because I know they mean best and it’s been working
Is it me or is Mr Feeny the Wilson of Boy meets world? It’s characters like them that the world needs more of. If they were neighbors one can only imagine what they’d chat about. :)
You know if all you ever lurne is lessons for the Boy meets world shows you take heed in that you are going to be just fine. Thus show was wounderful I lurned a lot from it it made me laugh, it made me smile, it made me wise and at time it mad me cry and all I can say is thank you.
Sometimes I think Mr. Feeny missed his calling. He should have been a therapist. Although I could picture him being a school psychatrist as well as a teacher. He was a teacher and a high school principal at the same time so he could do that.
Feeny is the kind of teacher I wish I had
Honestly.
Makes two of us
Feeny is the kind of teacher I want to be.
We did, after school in the late 90s at 5pm
HTMR4445 1 please do! We need more like him
"Do good"
"Don't you mean do well"
"No I mean do good"
You missed that and it was the most important part
Best teacher ever.... still don't know what subject he taught.
He taught life.
In addition to life (love that!!), we see that he taught them in Grade 6 and Social Studies/History throughout the rest of the series into college.
Pretty sure he taught it all... everything from history to literature, and I’m pretty sure he had one class about quantum physics
Shinkai Atusya he taught life
Feeny's preferred instruction was world history which of course is what Cory ended up teaching
imagine if Mr. Feeny, Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross got together and had a podcast......too wholesome to even think about
#Feenyistheman
Don't forget Kermit the Frog
Is it just me or or did this make anyone else shed a tear?
Yo
It's defintaly not just you...
i SO DID
I cried when he finally tells them he loved them.
Yes my fella
As one of the older folks at work, some of my younger co-workers have dubbed me "Mr Feeny.". Watching this, have to say rather honored.
I love Feeney's voice, mainly because it's used as emotional support and advice in this show. I miss this show so much.
We never deserved this man.
Right
We needed him. Our generation Needed him.
Mr. Feeny was the glue that held boy meets world together all those years, the glue being that one moment in every episode when someone else needed a little help
Mr Feeny and Mr Turner were two of the best teachers on TV
I agree
@@juliaprimus2307I agree as well!
@@sosunawoldeyesus9849, I wish they had Mr Turner ( Character ) & Shawn Hunter ( character) on Girl Meets World - more on that show
love mr feeny, love n miss the show , really really miss these good old times when great shows like bmw were produced
Woah! My head was just filled with Feeny-ness! I have memorized most these and try to live by them! I love this show so so much will always be my favorite, and will always have a special place in my heart!

That's the true mark of a teacher.
William Daniels has taught so many young people some good lessons about life, love, and friendships through Mr. Feeny.
I wish I had a teacher like Mr Feeny. Most of the teachers I had felt the need to talk down on me, and say it could never be done.
How a high school ended up with Mr. Feeny is beyond me. You’d expect to find someone like him at an Ivy League college.
Except he wouldn't really be needed at an Ivy League College. He was needed, and teachers like him are needed at average high schools to teach the kids that they aren't average.

What did he mean by that?
@@sbarrow06
Do what is good.
@@HTMR-de8gz damn I finally realized what he meant.
We all need Mr Feeny in our lives! ❤ We love you too. Class dismissed. Indeed. 💙
I love you Mr. Feeny!!
I was lucky to have a couple of teachers like this, one of them I still keep in touch with.
The Goat before the Goat was a thing god bless you mister feeny you made me want to continue school and because of that i graduated with honors and the respect of my family
See if I had Mr feeny as a teacher. I would of aced school.
ME TOO!!
Yeah, you WOULD'VE learned how to spell WOULD'VE.
You probably did have one and never realized it...
Mr Feeny was a very important adult in my life. Fictional or not, he had a HUGE impact.
WE all need a Mr. Feeny in our lives.
These 2 1/2 mins will change your entire perspectivein life. The eternal wisdom given by the best mentor anyone could ever wish for
He was our teacher when our parents were making better lives for us. He helped all of us… he is family…

We were in HS at the same time! Class of 2006!!!
Thank you for sharing your story. You had a great teacher :D
we listened to this in class and i am proud to say that i knew where it came from... I LOVE FEENY FE-HE-HE-HEENY!!!
" If you let people's perception of you dictate your behavior, you'll never grow as a person"
that's some REALLY good advice for everyone
Mr. Feeny is one teacher i learned a lot from but didnt he did not know he taught me .
“ I was young once…. Perhaps I still am” should be on here since it was the lesson Feeny had to teach himself.

Why did I feel like those empty chairs at the end were for all of us watching….
1:39 is unbelievably relevant for people at every station of wealth, point in personal growth, and time period that has ever existed in human history.
Mr.Feeny was such a good teacher with a good heart and has so much wisdom just like my good teacher Mr.Charles Mangan he was the best teacher anyone could every have he shared alot of his wisdom with me he told me that if I can dream I can achieve it I miss him every day but he is with his loved ones up there may peace be with you😊❤️🙏 and thank you we love you to and I promise I will make it to graduation and make you proud 😊
Mr feeny taught me life lessons as an adult makes me wish I watched this show growing up plus I saw Likes were at 999 so I had to make it 1000 xD
I wish I grew up with someone like Mr Feeny, giving me wisdom,kindness and just being there for me.
Mr. Feeny is the wisest teacher I know. I still hold onto his lessons, myself, even as an adult.
Feeney was that wise grandpa you wish you had. He Taught us all so much and we never even realized it at the time.
The wise words of Mr fenny

Mr Feeny was the show his character alone should be a life time Emmy award
0:55 bruce wayne took feeny's words to heart. Feeny is the hero we need tho
My hope is that there’s a generation of boys out there who are now men teaching their children these Feeny Gems
Everyone needs a Mr. Feeny in life.
he was a teacher of life
I wish I had a teacher like him
Feeny reminds me of one of my old high school teachers I had my freshman through Junior year he was a great guy
Amazing Show!!!!
The Phil Jackson of Teachers Mr Feeny
If you look up Jordan Peterson college lectures from back when he was a teacher, it's like the real-life Mr Feeny. It doesn't flow as beautifully because it's not scripted but it flows.

If one day i become a teacher, i will try to be like Mr Feeny
The world needs more teachers like George Feeny.
KITT is such a handsome human!
Every kid should have at least one Mr Feeny
The character of Mister Feeny taught me how to live life better.
the man is the Boy Meet World Verson of Phil Jackson
Feeny makes me want to be an teacher/educator.
You must have a desire to change it ...
One of my favourite episodes of Mr Feeny is Season 1 episode 18. 💖💖💖
I try every day to live like feeny
Is it me or is Mr Feeny the Wilson of Boy meets world? It’s characters like them that the world needs more of. If they were neighbors one can only imagine what they’d chat about. :)
Class dismissed. Thank you Mr. Feeny
I forgot how good this was ❤
I needed this after having a stressful day today.
That’s a funny little hat Mr Shapiro
I love Mr. Feeny
You know if all you ever lurne is lessons for the Boy meets world shows you take heed in that you are going to be just fine. Thus show was wounderful I lurned a lot from it it made me laugh, it made me smile, it made me wise and at time it mad me cry and all I can say is thank you.
Fun fact: Mr. Feeney is also KITT from Knight Rider
Last episode always gets me
Very good Mr Shapiro
I LIVE BY THIS SHIT
Sometimes I think Mr. Feeny missed his calling. He should have been a therapist. Although I could picture him being a school psychatrist as well as a teacher. He was a teacher and a high school principal at the same time so he could do that.
Class dismissed pulls at the heartstrings
His lesson in technology is pretty good too.
wish i had a mr. feeny in my life
I was sent a link to this video by an email from Microsoft, promising me points for clicking the link. Hope that's increased your views.
me too
I had a lot of teachers who were like him at school and college
Rest in peace 💜💜😢
Mr Feeney
They’ll never be a teacher like me feeny!
1:53 Mr Feeny Says We Live in a Society
Best teacher!!!
1:40-1:50 foreshadowing him in Girl Meets World
The best life sessions are from Mr Miyagi and Mr Freeny
I've known you long enough to call you Cornelius.....
This show could be corny as all hell but he played a good straight man character.
FEE HE HEE NEH!
I feel like Uncle Iroh and Mr. Feeny would be best friends.
I wud get advice from Mr feeny any day
Awesome 🤩 😎 👏🏿
