Girl Meets World (2014–2017)
7/10
Working familiarity
15 August 2014
Although this show can stand on its own, a working familiarity with its antecedent show Boy Meets World helps a lot if you're watching. The protagonists of that show Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel who met as kids in elementary school and through the show's seven year run grew up and got married and now have two kids August Maturo and his older sister Rowan Blanchard, the protagonists of Girl Meets World.

Wouldn't you know it, the first show was set in a school with all the kids under the watchful eye of William Daniels who also doubled as neighbor to the Matthews family. Now it's Ben Savage who is a teacher and he's very much in the mold that Daniels set in the previous show. But Daniels didn't have any of his kids in his class. That's the crux of the show and its comedy.

Danielle Fishel who was a young girl who definitely walked to her own beat in Boy Meets World has become a lawyer. I'm sure however one who works for the public good, a 21st century Louis D. Brandeis.

From what I see a whole lot of the regulars of the first show will more than likely be back for guest appearances. Something for the built in audience to savor and appreciate.

The original show did not originate in the Magic Kingdom. But I have to say that the Disney Studio has done a good job in keeping with the spirit of Boy Meets World which in its day was one of the best family shows ever.
