07.08.09 TOPANGA TALKS ABOUT HER FIRST KISS

danielle-fishel1

I never saw a single episode of “Boy Meets World” (which aired from 1993-2000), but every guy who’s young enough (or lame enough) to have spent his Friday nights in the ’90s staying home and watching TV has a lifelong obsession with Danielle Fishel, who played the character Topanga on ABC’s “TGIF’ hit.  Now 28, Fishel spoke to Fancast about her first kiss and her present gig as host of Style Network’s “The Dish,” which is like “The Soup” but for women and not funny (Sorry, Danielle. Call me?).  Some excerpts:

What’s a typical day like for you on ‘The Dish’? I’m not there Monday through Wednesday. On Thursdays I do my voice over for the show. Then I go across the street to my record meeting. My writers show me all the clips that they’re thinking about, we go through the script, tweak it, and on Friday I go into hair and makeup and we shoot the tape.

Whoa, TWO days of work every week?!?!  Television can be so hard!

What were your favorite scenes [on "Boy Meets World"] to shoot? Definitely that first episode, when we [Ben Savage's character, Cory and Topanga] were handcuffed to the locker, and I kissed him. That scene stands out for me for many reasons. For one,  it was my first major role on a television show. Two it was my first real life kiss and my first television kiss all rolled into one – on national television with my whole family watching.

The full interview also has her talking about being a sex symbol at a young age and an explanation for why the producers chose a name as dumb as Topanga.  Me?  I’m just here to give you a gallery of Fishel and Ben Savage as teenagers.  Sweet!  It’s Jailbait Day at Warming Glow!  Tell everyone you know!  Unless they work in law enforcement!

Wait… so that’s not an American Apparel banner ad?

There may or may not be nude pictures of her on the intranet as well. Uh, not that I’ve looked.

She was a sex symbol? Really? However, the pic with her wearing the white shorts and red boots has potential.

That scene for me is when I realized my true calling. Now, if you excuse me: Mr. Savage, along with the Blond Wig and the mini-skirt, the service will cost 200$, and I’ll need it in advance.

NOTE: an of age Fishel, that is. That could have been bad.

I’m going to need an IV of Gatorade and another box of Kleenex STAT!

If the bitch lost 20 pounds and hired a personal trainer, I’d be on her like she is currently on donuts.

Sounds like a few dudes here want to banga Topanga.

I like her lips.

What! I’m not thinking of young Danielle Fishel’s pussy sweat! (although I was five minutes ago (Chugs Gatorade)

@Upstate — sex symbol is a stretch, but she was skinny & kinda hot at a time when many adolescents the show was aimed at were discovering the wonders of a thrice-a-day masturbation habit. Low standards, you had to be there.

/resumes watching scrambled porn

1) I’d rather hear about her first lesbian kiss. I’m more than willing to accept lies if necessary.

2) If it’s Jailbait Day, can we get some shots of Six from “Blossom”? Jenna Van Oy has ass for days. When Mix-A-Lot said, “36-24-36? Only if you’re 5′3,” he was talking about her.

Upstate Underdog says:

@KP, I was 22 years old in 1993 when this show first aired. Needless to say I never watched it, I was too busy watching porn on the old VHS.

I watched this show as a kid. I was in grade/middle school when this was out. What is a cool kid supposed to do at that age? I didnt start doing cool stuff, like hanging out at a Denny’s until I was 23.

I would like to know about the first time that she blew Ben and Fred Savage simultaneously.

/she’s “Midwest” hot if that makes sense
//it should

La Schmoove says:

Believe me when I say that I’d ram that ass with the force of a meteor crashing to earth…

‘casue I’m long and I’m strong and I’m down to get the friction on!

Brat says:

Uhhh…I’ve never heard of that show.

Then again, like UU, I was older – 23 when it came out. I was likely wasted whenever it was the show aired.

The first time I ever came on anything, it was on a picture of Topanga

I’m actually in law enforcement and I thought about bringing you down. Then I remembered I like boobs better than my job so I cancelled backup.

I’m pretty sure Jenna van Oy is not Black.
