“Boy Meets World” Reunion Highlights on “Dancing With the Stars”

During Tuesday’s special evening dedicated to heartfelt tributes, actress Danielle Fishel and her professional partner, Pasha Pashkov, delivered an emotional dance honoring her iconic TV series, Boy Meets World.

The duo performed a lively jive set to the series’ theme song by Twenty Cent Crush, featuring Phil Rosenthal. Fishel, known for her role as Topanga Lawrence, dedicated the routine to her former co-star William “Bill” Daniels, who portrayed the wise Mr. Feeny.

Before dancing, Fishel shared her admiration for Daniels, expressing how important he was in shaping her career and personal growth. “I wouldn’t have become the professional I am without the chance to learn from him,” she said. Daniels, 98, appeared in a pre-recorded segment where he praised Fishel’s progress, calling her “a pleasure to watch.”

The dance began with Daniels standing on a school-themed set, complemented by a heartfelt message from him in the pre-show package: “I’m very proud of Danielle and proud to support her.”

The performance garnered a score of 29 out of 40 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge Kym Johnson-Herjavec, securing their place in the competition.
