Just watched the pilot and am excited for the rest of the season. Huge fan of Boy Meets World, so I was super excited for this. But I also tried to keep my expectations in check - it's its own show, the 1st season of BMW was fairly cheesy, etc. Well, I really liked it.

Of course I'd like more Cory and Topanga, but the show is about Riley and her journey. And the two of them are incorporated, and I imagine will continue to be. (Think of how much we got to see of Amy and Alan's perspectives and they didn't even have the cult following.) I love the relationship between Riley and Maya - very Cory and Shawn. I think the actress playing Riley has the right amount of preteen curiosity and awkwardness as well as the ability to deliver humor. She seems like she'll be able to "grow with the show" as Cory did.

My only complaint is that some themes seem a bit forced - the "finding the world and making it yours" repeated over and over, and the "Riley is going to save Maya" motif is a little obvious. However, it's a kids show, so adult viewers need to remember that kids don't pick up on repetitive elements as easily.

For those worried about it being too "Disney", all I have to say is that after watching part of the "Disney Channel Original Movie" that was on before the pilot, this show is MUCH better than typical Disney shows. I think it has a lot of potential.

I think true fans of BMW - the ones who love it for the wholesome and important messages it sent - should give this show a chance. As much as the majority of its viewership is probably made up of the adults 20+ who grew up with the original, the show is for a new generation. And I, for one, am happy that Michael Jacobs and April Kelly are bringing this kind of programming to today's kids. I think fans of the old will appreciate the tributes and similarities, and new fans will enjoy a new, quality show for a generation that needs it.

When I first heard that there was going to be a Boy Meets World spin off I thought that it was going to be just a halfway put together TV show and it would only last a season or so. But after watching the first season, you can tell that a lot of thought was put into it and it has a lot of the same values that the original show had with some new modern day input to it. I really liked how it included many of the original cast as well as some new young talented children as well. Even though it is not the same as the original, you can tell that the creators really took the time and effort to connect the events of the original series to fit in with the new series and create something very original and unique. I was very impressed with the cast they chose to play Cory's daughter as well as her friends. They share the same quirkiness as the original cast did while still adding their own flavor to it as well. Overall I think it was very well put together spin off series.

Like many of the reviewers here, I followed the "dramedy" that is Corey and Topanga, Shawn, Eric, Mr. Feeny, Amy, Allan, Mr. Turner, Jack, Rachel, Angela, and even to a lesser extent both Morgan's from when "Boy Meets World" first aired in 1993 as part of the T.G.I.F. lineup, and it is a show that I appreciated then and have only grown to appreciate even more over time. And like many of the reviewers here, I wanted to know what Corey and Topanga's life together would be like.

When it was announced Disney Channel would be doing a spin-off called "Girl Meets World", I was both intrigued and apprehensive about it. Intrigued because I would get to see a continuation of the story, apprehensive because there has yet to be a really good Disney sitcom that doesn't have some convoluted premise and that serves as a vehicle to turn out more Miley Cyrus' and Demi Lovato's.

Not having either cable or satellite, I had to wait until the series came to Netflix, and I intentionally avoided reading many reviews of it so that I could go in with as open a mind about it as possible. First I want to state what it isn't. It isn't "Boy Meets World." Yes, some of the characters are the same, and yes every episode of "Girl Meets World" I have watched up to this point has its origin somehow in an episode of "Boy Meets World." But, they aren't the same show, and shame on us if we expected it to be. I believe that's why many of these reviews tend to be negative. The two series need to be distinguished from each other, even if the latter is a direct spin-off. There needs to be a difference.

With that said, what it is is a show that has some heart in its own right to stand on its own. While the material is in many ways recycled from plots of "Boy Meets World" episodes, many of those are combined nicely and made into new plots for "Girl Meets World." That's why I say it is familiar and new. And, compared to everything else that's on Disney Channel (minus Phineas and Ferb), it's easily better than the other sitcoms that plague that network. Plus it's not looking like it's going to launch any new "music" careers, so that's a plus.

I want to wrap up this review by stating that, while I agree that much of the acting and dialogue is cringe-worthy, we need to be honest with ourselves and realize that "Boy Meets World" wasn't exactly the pinnacle of writing and acting either. That didn't matter to us though. Is "Girl Meets World" any better, or any worse, than "Boy Meets World" in that regard? I don't believe so. See "Girl Meets World" for what it is, don't pine for what it isn't. Let it develop into its own thing, and that may take a little while longer. But just as "Boy Meets World" eventually got there, I believe "Girl Meets World" will get there too.

I honestly love this show, and I'm fully aware that it's not perfect, but it has managed to pull Disney Channel out of it's 5 year state of bland drudgery. If you you remember a few years ago, Disney Channel and Disney XD were going through a bit of a dark age. Pretty much the only quality programming we had was Phineas and Ferb Everything else was either cliché,unfunny or a mixture of the two. Then a miracle happened. I remember seeing the promos last year and I got so hyped. Boy Meets World is a quintessential 90s show and considered to be classic kid/teen situation dramedy for many.All 90s kids were psyched to see a continuation of the series. Unfortunately getting further into the first season of GMW, it didn't keep the large following it had in the beginning. I think this is mainly due to the fact that people thought this would be "Boy Meets World Part 2" and focus more on the lives of Corey and Topanga as adults, rather than the lives of their eldest child and her friends. I for one wasn't disappointed though,I got what I expected, I mean the show is called "Girl Meets World". Who'd you think it was going to be about? And Riley is a pretty likable kid. She's cute, silly, compassionate and extremely loyal to the people she cares about. Farkle and Maya are pretty great characters with their own complexities. Lucas is okay, but I could honestly take him or leave him. I congratulate the writers for actually treating show and its characters with respect and not following the same tired "Disney Channel" formula. My only complaints are that 1) I would like to see more moments between Riley and her parents that don't involve school or her friends 2)Riley's attraction to Lucas seemed very forced (obviously because the relationship between Maya and Riley was getting too "loving").

As a member of Generation Y, the generation that grew up with Corey, Shawn and Topanga on Boy Meets World, I was happy when I heard they were spinning off one of my favorite shows but also a little apprehensive. Boy Meets World had its problems (wildly inconsistent writing, like Shawn and Topanga each having a sister for exactly one episode, the Eric character wildly changing from stupid funny one episode to smart and insightful the next) but it holds a very special place in my generation's hearts. Fortunately, the same creative team that captured something special with that show is back and working their magic again. No, it's exactly like Boy Meets World here but there is a lot to like, from Sabrina Carpenter's character Maya, who is the Shawn foil (broken, slightly troubled but never puts a toe too far out of line) to the funny Corey Fogelmanis, who cracks me up every time he throws his arms in the air saying "I am Farkle!" Even though it is the kids' show, Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel get plenty of chances to shine and it works so beautifully because for my generation, who grew up with their characters, we are now (very many of us) also young parents, trying to relate to our kids in a world that is much different from the one we grew up in. Rider Strong has guest starred several times in his old role of Shawn Hunter and I particularly enjoyed the episode where he is forced to confront his feelings of being left behind and out of the loop as his friends have become parents and he finds himself single and childless, finding it a little empty. It's extremely relate-able for anyone in their 30s in the same situation. Plus, you never know who might show up from the old series--so far, the guest star list includes Shawn, Corey's parents, Corey's little brother Joshua, older brother Eric (played again by the hilarious Will Friedle), Jack Hunter (Matthew Lawrence), Shawn's old flame Angela, Mr. Turner and of course, the much beloved Mr. Feeney(the incomparable William Daniels). I hope at some point we get an episode with Corey, Eric and Joshua and of course, there is still the character of Morgan, Corey's younger sister, who hasn't shown up yet but we'll see. Now sure, Boy Meets World was on ABC, which allowed it to tackle issues like teens getting drunk, helping a friend who is being physically abused by a parent and teens dealing with the temptation and peer pressure to have sex. Those are topics that Disney will never allow Girl Meets World to come any where near. But so far, Girl Meets World has tackled issues that are very relevant to this world like the need to turn away from smart phones and computers and communicate with people face-to-face, the importance of arts education in schools and dealing with family situations that aren't ideal. If you can separate it from the nostalgia-fueled view of Boy Meets World being perfect, and just appreciate this new show for what it is, you'll actually find a very fun, enjoyable new program. Check it out for yourself and enjoy this new world.

Girl Meets World addresses with great s'ensuivit the different subjects that young people may have (friendship and love of course, but also religion, meaning of life, war, different ways of thinking in this world).

I really recommend it.

First of all, I have the theory that the sitcom doesn't happen on "the real life" instead it is a perspective from one of the cast, most probably the principal, Riley. That could explain the fact (and principal critic to the serie) that everything could look to much sensitive, childish or dumb, like the Corey and Topanga acting to much childish and less like the parent-type or why (literally) all the classes in the school ( by a weird reason ) just focus on the principal kids.

In general, the series kept funny moments that make it watchable, especially for the target public (kids and teens).

The show is good and I like it because I was a fan of boy meets world. However this show unlike boy meets world is too predictable like how you can alright guess what will happen before the end of the episode. Don't get me wrong I enjoy it very much but I would just change that detail. The characters are great I was happy to see Cory and Topanga came back for the show and also how they brought other boy meets world characters back.Also the show is great for a whole new generation of teenagers to watch and enjoy both shows as I did and still do. In conclusion the differences between the two shows boy meets world and girl meets world is how as I remember it not every episode of boy meets world ended with the main characters learning a life lesson so I would consider adjusting that as well in the future episodes of girl meets world.

To be honest, i didn't grow up with boy meets world, so i don't know which one is better. but i gotta say, when i hear people say that the 90's show was better, bmw must really be a masterpiece. though when i watched the first episode, i kinda cringed at first. the way riley, the main character talked, it was kinda annoying (got into 2nd season, still is, but i got used to it). the joke was a little bit lame, and the lines were kinda cheesy, talking too much about "taking on the world". But as the episodes go by, i tell you, it got A WHOLE LOT BETTER. The storyline was deep, meaningful, and heartwarming, and sometimes unpredictable (kinda hard to find stories like this with all these crappy kid sitcoms nowadays), the jokes got me laughing so hard, sometimes i rewined some of the lines it just to hear it again. the characters were likable and unique in their own ways, even riley with her annoying voice. though i'm not exactly a fan of lucas, since i see no point of his character's existence than just being fantasy guy and the supposedly love interest of riley. so, if you watched the first episode and didn't like it very much, PLEASE do not give up on this show. i swear to you, it gets better, especially the in 2nd season. i may not be too sure if girl meets world really live up to its predecessor, but from my point of view, this sure is one of the best Disney... no... kid TV sitcoms in general there is. watch out, Nickelodeon, you really gotta up your game.

As a 17 year old who grew up watching "Boy Meets World" on TV, recently got the collection on DVD, and dedicates the time to re-watching the entire series at least once a year for the past 5 or 6 years, I was pretty damn excited when I heard about "Girl Meets World". My obsession with the original series made me extremely ready for the new series, but it also generated my concerns for the show. So how did the pilot turn out? Without getting too caught up in the plot, I'm going to talk about what I think our the positives and negatives about the show.

First of all, the show knows it's roots. It has not forgotten about Boy meets world at all and instead embraces it.First off the show addresses the fact that its a show while introducing the two new main characters, Riley (Cory and Tongana's daughter) and her Shawn like best-friend Maya. Cory introduces the show by basically saying how its still all about him and his world as a jokey reference to the original series, this starts the transition to it going from Cory's world to Riley's.Throughout the opening theme you can see many references to the original series such as the paper planes flying around like in the original opening theme, and the spinning globe in the world in the title "Girl meets World". All of the returning characters introduced are pretty much the same but an older, more grown-up version of themselves. Cory still seems just as neurotic and loving as he always was, but he is also developed into being more of a Feeny like character with his teachings and life lessons both inside and outside the classroom. Topanga is not introduced too much in this episode but from what it does show off her its still the same old Topanga just grown into a motherly figure.The show has a lot of parallel characters to the original series, some being Riley as the Cory, Maya as Shawn, Lucas and Topanga, Farkle the new Minkus (wonder if he'll be in more than one season), and Cory as the new Feeny, and well the same old Cory. It has new characters with similar traits to that of the original cast, but are far from copies of them by adding new flares and qualities to them. It has also been announced that Shawn and Feeny will appear as recurring characters throughout the series.The show also has various events in the first episode relating to some of the original series, like how Maya started the riot against homework in Cory's class is a parallel to Shawn doing the same thing in Mr. Feeny's class. Later on in the episode Cory gets angry with Maya and tells her how she "goes too far" and how a friend needs to get their friends out of trouble and not into it. This scene is a lot like when Alan told the same thing to Shawn in the original, both ending with Cory and Riley respectively standing up for their friend and going against their fathers. These tie in events really develop who each of the characters are suppose to represent.

Now, my biggest concern. Looking past all of the nostalgia and the fact that this is a sequel series, is it a good show? Well my answer is yes. It does have flaws,but these flaws are due to it being in a completely different time when television shows directed towards kids are cheesy and usually substitutes the real issues for some lame jokes and out of the normal characters. I have watched a lot of the new Disney shows and most suck but I can honestly say this one is a million times better than the rest. It does have flaws in the corny jokes and the over-dramatic teaching, but I mean it is still just the pilot episode. The shows doing what most shows now-a-days don't do and that is the episode does have some real lessons, like to be yourself, and to stick with your friends no matter what. It does come across as preachy and a little too obvious but that's just the way childhood television is today, but in that sense it's still a lot better than most. Going back to what I said about the unusual characters, the main example being Farkle. Farkle is over the top, but all of the current Disney shows have a character or multiple characters like this, and it was to be expected, although he is one of these characters, i don't think it comes across as too bad because he does provide a lot of comic relief at times.

Last of all, what can you expect from the shows future episodes? Well you can expect the lame corny jokes, the unusual and sometimes annoying characters, and the over-obvious lessons. But along with that comes a show that expands on the basis that has touched and taught many kids, teenagers, and adults throughout the year. It takes the concept of Boy meets world's coming of age story and twists it to fit a new audience while still bringing back all those memories and nostalgia of the original series. As a huge fan of the original, I personally think Girl meets world had a great first episode. My advice to the writers is to keep doing what you're doing with the references and parallels to original but try and make the lessons less preachy and cut out a few more of those fast-paced lame jokes for a few genuine ones. My advice to the audience, if you're running on nostalgia just try to remember this show is written for kids TODAY and has a lot of things applying to them. If you aren't running on nostalgia and haven't seen the original series, go watch it! you'll love it and you'll love this show even more because of it.
