Movie Review: Fast & Furious 6


  How “The Fast and the Furious” franchise is still operational after 12 years is beyond me. The series should’ve crashed-and-burned after 2006’s dreadful third installment, “Tokyo Drift,” which saw the primary cast bail on the fast cars that made them famous. A lack of success outside of Universal’s lucrative property Read more

10 Things You Need to Know About Babies That Doctors WILL NOT Tell You


I'm full of sage wisdom. Even before I was a parent, I knew that you should never push a child off a bicycle... unless you're trying to teach them some sort of lesson. Like all new fathers, the minute my son was born I discovered that I instantly knew Read more

Movie Review: The Great Gatsby


It’s everything you ever dreamed it would be.

youngfeeny 300x300 SPECIAL FEENY DAY: THE LEGEND RETURNS!

News about Girl Meets World is coming in at such record pace that we can’t until Good Friday for the latest update. Not only is this because there’s so much quantity of news and pictures coming in from the set, but because of the utmost QUALITY OF THE NEWS WE HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY!

Ever since the first Feeny Fridays where we recapped Feeny’s wisdom from the first season, our main focus in rewinding to our childhood (and our young adulthood watching reruns, if we’re honest) has been to glean life wisdom from George Feeny.

shawneric Feeny Friday: Uncle Shawn & Uncle Eric Joining Girl Meets World?

Since the new era of Feeny Friday has begun with our in-depth look at the production of Girl Meets World and campaign to bring back Feeny to give us more wisdom, we here at The Wise Guise have been staying up to date.

As Adele might say, rumor has it that production has begun on the pilot episode of Girl Meets World. And, although the radar remains relatively silent on Feeny’s return, we have learned a lot. And there’s greater hope for Uncle Eric & Uncle Shawn to show up than ever before!

Without further ado, I present…

After Boys II Mensa aired in the fall of 1993, Boy Meets World took a week off before airing this week’s episode. Just like it did then, I had to take a break from writing Feeny Fridays during law school finals and journal write-on. Every time I sat down to write Feeny Friday, I just imagined Feeny standing there, glaring at me, not even having to speak any words and yet conveying to me a sense of disappointment in my poor prioritization and lack of focus on my studies. With all that done, we can get back to business! And by business, I mean Feeny Fridays. On to this week’s episode… Read more

For the next several weeks, I’m in that terrible time known as law school final exams. While I’ve been blissfully denying any pressure until now, now is the time I have to catch up and prepare. So while I sadly have no time to mine the depths of the next Boy Meets World episode for Feeny wisdom, I can take a much-needed break from the library and find inspiration and motivation from YouTube. So I share with you, this very happy Feeny Friday, some YouTube Feeny highlights. Enjoy! Read more

Before we begin with the episode, let’s just take a moment to appreciate what this episode’s title has for us.

Reference to 1990s R&B boy band? Check.

Allusion to this episode featuring our characters and the high-IQ society, Mensa? Check.

We begin in Feeny’s classroom.  Feeny’s about to pass back book reports. Cory has a red clown nose on and is silently creating antics.  Feeny catches him. Read more

Feeny Friday – “Killer Bees”

Originally Aired: Oct. 22, 1993

Episode Summary: Cory enters a geography bee for a chance to be a bat boy at the World Series. Eric is going to an Aerosmith concert with a date and is embarrassed his mom is going to the same concert.

Mr. Feeny is handing out geography tests to class.  Shocker (said with sarcasm by both me and Mr. Matthews): Minkus gets the highest score.  Cory is frustrated because he got a C.  Mr. Feeny makes a reference to the “current event” that was the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Ahhh… a simpler time. Read more
