    Storyline

    Edit
    Cory decides to make a documentary similar to The Real World for Mr. Feeny's film class. He starts filming Shawn, Jack, and Eric as they adjust to their new living situation. When Jack and Shawn get off on the wrong foot, Cory learns the boundaries between filmmaker and friend. Meanwhile, Morgan hires an actor to play Eric at home because she misses him. —skillwithaquill

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      William Daniels mentions that The Graduate (1967) was a great film. He played Mr. Braddock in that movie.
    • Goofs
      In Season 5 Episode 2 "Boy Meets Real World", Eric claims to be 8 months older than Jack but then in Season 5 Episode 17 "And Then There Was Shawn", Jack claims to be the oldest of the group. Of course, Eric also mistakenly says he's the oldest in that episode before Jack corrects him so it's possible this is just another example of Eric being Eric.
    • Quotes

      Jack Hunter: You know, the whole reason I wanted Shawn to move in here was so I'd get to know him. But he won't let me. I'm shallow, he resents me. I try to be honest with him, he runs out... Maybe this brother thing isn't gonna work, man.

      Eric Matthews: Maybe you're right. Why don't you just walk away? Then you won't be brothers anymore. Right?

      Jack Hunter: Yeah, I mean we don't even know each other. What makes us brothers in the first place?

      Eric Matthews: Okay. When I was 12, Cory and I went to a Phillys game. My father gave me just enough money for two hot dogs, so I bought two hot dogs. 'Course, I realized by the time I got back to Cory, I ate them both. He cried!

      [laughs]

      Jack Hunter: This is very sad.

      Eric Matthews: That was the happy part. You want sad? I went up and down the aisle, trying to collect money from people. A dime here, a quarter there. And I went and I bought Cory a hot dog. Man, he was so happy. He smiled, and then I smiled, because I felt good. You know, I mean I did the right thing, I was a good older brother. He started giggling... he reached his little hand out for that hot dog, and... took a foul ball right smack dab in the head, POW, knocked him unconcious. Cory doesn't giggle anymore.

      Jack Hunter: Next to Wendy's unicorn monologue, that is the worst story I've ever heard.

      Eric Matthews: Yeah, you know, you're right. That is a really bad story. So... why don't you tell me one about your brother?

      [Jack says nothing]
