Screenwriting cousins Jeff and Gregg Sherman team up to craft this documentary exploring the darker side of the relationship shared between their famous fathers, Robert and Richard. Back in the 1960s, Robert and Richard Sherman rose to fame penning upbeat songs for such classic children's films as Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. But the pair's catchy, optimistic ditties masked a contentious brotherly bond -- which ultimately grew so sour that their sons Jeff and Gregg weren't aware of one another despite the fact that they only lived a few blocks apart. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

After months of unemployment, young MBA Jenny Morgan (Heidi Noelle Lenhart) applies for what she thinks is an administrative position with the firm owned by handsome business executive Oliver Caldwell (Gregory Harrison). Unforutnately, someone's signals have gotten crossed, and Jenny finds she has been hired as nanny for the widowed Caldwell's spoiled-brat kids Kate (Katie Volding) and Alex (Jake Dinwiddie). Despite her daunting lack of experience as a surrogate mom, Jenny manages to bond with the kids, who behave badly mainly because their dad doesn't spend any time with them. During a trip abroad, Kate and Alex decide to play matchmaker for Oliver and Jenny, even though both adults already have fiancés. But taking into account that Kate's boyfriend Charlie (Michael Woolson) is an aimless dork and Oliver's intended Vivian (Jane Sibbert) is a bitch on wheels, it isn't hard to figure out how things will turn out. And if there are any doubts, just ask Caldwell's wry, all-knowing chauffeur Nigel Kent (John Rhys-Davies). Set in Paris (but actually filmed in Budapest!), the made-for-cable Au Pair originally aired August 22, 1999, on the Fox Family Channel; its open-ended finale enabled the producers to dash off a sequel, Au Pair II, in 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Having decided to go to college after all, Eric (Will Friedle) begins searching for an institute of higher learning that won't unduly tax his intellect--in other words, an "easy school". While visiting Beach State College with Eric, Cory (Ben Savage) meets a pretty co-ed named Mary Beth (Lisa Dean Ryan), who, much to his astonishment, makes a play for him! Bonnie Bartlett, the wife of series costar William Daniels (Mr. Feeny), makes her first appearance as Dean Bolander in this, the final episode of Boy Meets World's fourth season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Taking offence when Eric (Will Friedle) brushes her off, a weird transient girl named Corinna (Leisha Hailey) writes a nasty song about him. The song ends up a hit, getting lots of radio airplay--and making Eric famous. When Corinna asks to meet Eric again, he is delighted, little realizing her ulterior motives. Meanwhile, Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) have an argument on the topic of child-rearing, with both participants demonstrating how strongly they feel and how little they know! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A reluctant Cory (Ben Savage) is chosen as class representative to persuade Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) to soften his tough exam schedule. When Feeny refuses, a handful of students retaliate by vandalizing his home. As a result, Feeny sadly decides it is time to retire--but a second attack on his home changes his mind, and also increases his respect of the benighted Cory. Meanwhile, Amy (Betsy Randle) tries to play matchmaker between Mr. Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn) and a 27-year-old woman named Brenda (Lisa Akey)...who prefers the much-younger Shawn (Rider Strong) instead! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

It's the first day of school again as Boy Meets World launches its third season. Having spent the entire summer trying to work up the nerve to ask out his classmate Topanga (Danielle Fishel), Cory (Ben Savage)--who somehow has aged two years since last we saw him!--feels betrayed when he is beaten to it by his best friend Shawn (Rider Strong), leading to a showdown in the apartment Shawn shares with teacher Jonathan Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn). And Eric deals with the devil--specifically, tough guys Frankie (Ethan Suplee) and Joey (Blake Sennett)--to drum up business for the school film society's screening of Paint Your Wagon. New to the cast are Lindsay Ridgeway, taking over from Lily Nicksay in the role of Cory's sister Morgan, and Alex Desert as Eli Williams--and keep an eye out for a very young Brittany Murphy as Topana's best friend Trini. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After one of his practical jokes misfires--literally!--at Alan's store, a desperate Shawn (Rider Strong) hides out in Cory's room. Before long, everyone catches on that Cory (Ben Savage) has a secret, but they say nothing until they're able to gently persuade our hero to fess up. In a pivotal moment, Cory must demonstrate that he doesn't have to lie on Shawn's behalf to prove his friendship--and to prove to Shawn that the world will not end if he admits his wrongdoing. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

When his sister Amy (Lily Nicksey) advises him to try the "polite" approach with girls, Cory (Ben Savage) begins dating a young lady named T.K. (Danielle Harris). Soon after, and much to his surprise, Cory is being treated with utmost courtesy by none other than school bully Harley Keiner (Danny McNulty). What our boy doesn't know is that T.K. is actually Harley's sister--a fact that may result in horrific consequences when Harley wrongly believes that Cory is "moving too fast" with the girl! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this inane teen comedy, a rafting competition is going to determine whether four friends will graduate or not (an interesting amendment to college practices), and up against their team is a group of offensive rich kids. Meanwhile, a band of expelled military rafters is out to thwart the race as a whole. Bob (Tim Matheson) of the aspiring group of graduates, and Heather (Jennifer Runyon), a convert from the military rafting side, are a hot item, as are many other couples, since sex seems to be the only known activity carried out on land. A game of charades with a dog -- in order to locate a hostage -- is the funniest sequence in an otherwise routine story. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
