I grew up watching Boy Meets World every Friday night on ABC. A couple years ago I started watching reruns on both ABC Family and MTV2. As soon as I heard about this spin-off, I almost couldn't believe it. I thought it won't nearly be as good as BMW. I was still excited though. I actually had more confidence in this show than all of my other friends who liked BMW. I've been trying to get as much scoop as possible on when and where it will air.
When I heard it was going to air on Disney Channel I was disappointed. I knew that they were going to dumb it down a lot since Disney is a kids channel, but I knew what they were going for. LOTS OF VIEWERS! Disney already owns ABC so that doesn't make a difference, but they knew that they will get lots of kids excited for a new show and also bring in the views from older BMW fans that may be excited also. That I believe is why it was put on Disney Channel. The main thing I didn't like about the Disney Channel thing is that many adult themes that were used in BMW won't appear, but since ABC is owned by Disney they may pick it up and continue the show after a few seasons.
The main thing that you care about though is what I thought about the very first episode. I thought it was pretty good. Cory and Topanga (Ben Savage and Danielle Fishell) of course are back as parents raising their 13 year old daughter Riley and her younger brother Auggie. They definitely have the same personalities as they did in BMW and helps give that BMW feel once again. Riley's best friend Maya is like Shawn's younger female doppelganger. I clearly saw Shawn from the beginning by her personality and everything. That gave me that BMW feel again. It's like Cory and Shawn back together again, except it isn't. This is Girl Meets World, not Boy Meets World Part 2 - Grown Up! People may be upset that there wasn't enough Cory and Topanga in the first episode, but it's not about them anymore. It's the adventures of Riley and Maya now. Also, people may be upset that the first episode was more about Maya than Riley. Well, there were episodes of BMW when Shawn played a bigger role than Shawn. If you think about the show was called Boy Meets World, which means it could have been about Shawn, Cory, or even Eric because they were all boys. My point is they don't specify which girl or boy is meeting the world when in reality the all should be since they are all young, stupid, and learning very meaningful lessons.
I thought Girl Meets World was good. I am definitely looking forward to future episodes. I rated the show only 9 stars because Boy Meets World is still better. I highly suggest you give this show a shot. Just keep watching. Most pilot episodes aren't always the best, but the others really determine everything.
