It was always fiction though? I don’t understand what the “this is fiction” disclaimer has to do with anything. Yes, it sucks ever since Adam left, he was the heart of the show, without him there’s definitely writers googling “popular thing eighties” and jamming the result into a boring ass spec script they wrote for Boy Meets World or some shit. But even when Adam was weaving actual parts of his life into the plots the plots were still made up super exaggerated stories.
