I miss the days when TV was mostly shows like Full House, Boy Meets World, or 7th Heaven. These shows and others like them actually were wholesome, and you could watch them with the family without worrying about them influencing children in a negative way. There were always lessons to be learned, no matter what age you were when you watched them. Lately, I've been watching Boy Meets World a lot in the afternoons when they play episodes on MTV2. One of the episodes today had one of the greatest lessons about love that I've ever learned.
*After Cory's parents have a huge (pretend) fight and make up immediately*
Cory: What just happened here?
Topanga: You two just said horrible things to each other, then got all lovey-dovey.
Cory: Hey! I was gonna say that! How come you say that when I was gonna say that?
Topanga: Who cares who says it as long as it gets said?
Cory: Then what are we arguing about?
Topanga: ...we sound like them.
Cory: Oh no, we do. [To his parents] W-why do we sound like you?
Shawn: Because you love each other. No matter what crazy things he says or does, you still love each other.
Cory: Then why did we break up?
Shawn: Because we're in high school, and you think you're supposed to.
Amy: But when two people are really in love, it doesn't matter that they're in disagreement sometimes. It comes with the territory.
Alan: Now when two people are really in love, they don't break up just because they have a fight. Love would be pretty dull if you agreed about everything.
Amy: Besides, then they'd never get to make up.
I don't think I need to say much else about that.
