Everyone discovers what a great actor Eric is when he stars in Shakesperean plays in school. He even gets offered a part on the popular ABC sitcom "Kid Gets Aquainted With Universe." But the acting business turns out to be worse than Eric expected.
Meanwhile, things are awkward between Shawn and Topanga when she comes to take care of Shawn and Jack's chicken pox.

My review: Very, very funny! I loved the actors personalities and I can't get enough of the inside jokes.

Interesting Facts/Inside Jokes: Where to begin? Obviously, "Kid Gets Aquainted With Universe" was supposed to be a spoof of BMW. The fictional show was supposedly on ABC ("the number one network alphabetically in the world") just like Boy Meets World. Ben Sandwich was Ben Savage, Schneider was Rider (Strong), etc. There was even a dig at the fact that there aren't enough desks in the classroom set and that getting "into costumes" for "Rory" and "Shane" basically means trading shirts. Another joke is that the very young writers were played by the children of people who work on the show.
