Topanga Was Named After Topanga Canyon

It took awhile to cook up Topanga’s name for the show. Ultimately, this became a last minute decision. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Fishel said, “Michael Jacobs says he was driving down the highway when production called and said, ‘We need a name for this character!’ He happened to be driving past Topanga Canyon, so he said, ‘Topanga.'”

If they had called him two miles later, the characters name would have been Canoga, which is the next exit.

Just like the classroom environment of the show, the set itself revolved around a classroom. Throughout the early seasons of the show, Savage, Strong, Fishel and Will Friedle were still in the school.

Fisher later explained to Parade, “When we started the show, we had little sectioned off areas for each one of us to try to focus and work with our own individual teachers, but it always ended up being more like a regular school classroom with all of us chiming in and learning little bits of what everyone else was learning.”

There’s a reason why Rider Strong and Will Friedle couldn’t film scenes together.
